Scary Review: American Horror Story: Coven "The Replacements"

(Via www.comicbook.com)

    Last night was episode three of "American Horror Story". The show opened with a restless Fiona waking up and going to sit in the parlor. Once there, she sees an image of the former supreme and recalls the time in 1971 when she slit the supreme's throat in order to become the new supreme sooner. As she slits the former supreme's throat, the butler walks into the room, and sits silently as he looks at the scene that goes on. It then goes back to present day where the butler is looking at Fiona as she recollects the incidents, and, the wicked Fiona quips "What's the matter? The cat got your tongue?"  After the credits,Fiona consults with a plastic surgeon about her looks, and has a mini breakdown during the consultation.

                Back at the academy, Madame LaLaurie is shocked to see a black President, and Fiona informs her that she will be the new maid. After refusing to serve Queenie, Fiona makes LaLaurie Queenie's personal slave. Later on, a moving van then pulls up to the house next door, and a strapping young fellow takes his shirt off as Madison, Nan, and Queenie look on in delight. The boy's mother, played by Patty Lupone, informs her son to put a shirt back on, and he does so like any obedient Christian boy would.
       In the meantime, Zoe is off visiting Kyle's mother, who has an eternal bad hair day it seems. She informs Zoe that she was about to kill herself, but that when Zoe called something told her not to put the noose around her neck. Zoe tells her that she appreciates that, and that one day she will see Kyle again.
       Back at the academy, the girls talk about the new neighbor boy, and Nan and Madison decide to go pay the new neighbors, Luke and Joan, a visit. While there, Luke graciously accepts Nan's cake and doesn't give Madison the time of day. When Joan comes in, she informs the girls that they have to leave for Bible study, to which Madison asks why she wants to have anything with a belief that is, and I quote, "a crock of sh!t". She then goes on to ask Luke if he wants a slice of cake, and Joan tries to get the knife out of her hand. When she does this, Madison uses her powers to send the knife flying into the wall, which causes Joan to rush the girls out of her house.
        Zoe goes and visits Misty Day, and, after a struggle with Misty, she takes Kyle with her. She drops Luke off to his mom's house. When she sees that Kyle is safe and sound, she leaves to go back to the academy. Unfortunately for her, Kyle's mom is into her son, and she begins to get sexual with him later on.

         Meanwhile, Cordelia is struggling with her infertility and Fiona is struggling with aging. Both go to the doctor, and they are informed that nothing can be done. Cordelia can't get pregnant, and Fiona has failing health which will prevent her from getting plastic surgery. Cordelia doesn't take this news well, and she goes to none other to Marie Laveau to help her out. Laveau informs her that there is a ritual that can be done that involves a guinea pepper and a blood having its cut throat over her hooha while her husband's semen boils near a fire, but that it will cost 50,000 dollars. When Cordelia says that she will find a way to come up with the money, Laveau laughs and tells her that she would never do anything to help her since she is the daughter of her "sworn enemy". Cordelia, being the even tempered woman that she is, leaves disappointed.
          At the academy, Joan comes, bearing a Bible, to tell Fiona what happened. After Fiona says that she wishes Madison's aim would have been better, Joan tells her she will call the cops. After all, Madison did set her curtains of fire. This gets Fiona's interest as it shows that Madison will probably be the new supreme, which is why Fiona has been feeling sick, tired and old. Madison then enters the room and basically tears Joan a new one until she leaves. Fiona then invites her for lunch.

         Zoe gets a call from Kyle's mom inviting her to come over. When she arrives, she finds his mom bludgeoned to death. This is due to the fact that he beat her to death with a trophy for making sexual advances at her. As Zoe turns around, she sees a blood soaked Kyle standing with the trophy, and the scene ends.
           Later on that night, LaLaurie is making food for Queenie when Bastian, the Minotaur guy comes by. She locks the door in fear, but Queenie says that she will take care of it. She goes outside with some of LaLaurie's blood on a napkin and tries to have sex with the Minotaur. The Minotaur then attacks her. (Side note: Am I the only one who thinks this whole Minotaur story line is ruining the show due to its stupidity?)
            At lunch, Fiona gets Madison to show her more of her power, and she confirms that she is the new supreme. After lunch, they go to a bar, where Fion is ignored, and then back to the acadamy. Once at home, Fiona confesses to Zoe about killing the former supreme. She then hands Madison the knife and tells her to slit her throat like she did when she was young. When Madison refuses, Fiona slits Madison's throat, killing her. Once she is dead, we find out that it was intentional. The butler then enters the room and hands Fiona a napkin to get the blood off of her hands. "This coven doesn't need a new supreme," Fiona says. "It needs a new carpet." Credits roll.

So guys, what did you think of last night's episode? Am I the only one getting annoyed by the Minotaur story line?  Am I the only one that thinks Angela Basset makes the entire show? Tell me in the comments section.

Fall Beats: Mary Lambert's "She Keeps Me Warm" And " I Know Girls" (Body Love)

      Ever since Macklemore's "Same Love" became a hit, Mary Lambert has been propelled into the spotlight. This out singer and a fellow resident of the Northwest took the hook from "Same Love" and turned it into a beautiful song about two gals falling in love. The video below is a testament of love no matter what one's gender.

            And "She Keeps Me Warm" isn't the only song with a message from Ms. Lambert. In "Body Love", video below, she gives some advice to all women out their who strive for physical perfection. That is advice is to love yourself no matter what. It truly is an inspirational message, and it should be the anthem for a new generation of girls who tell the mainstream media that they are beautiful regardless of their body type or anything else for that matter.

Scary Review: American Horror Story: Coven "Boy Parts"

       Last night was episode two of the fear filled season of American Horror Story: Coven. It started with two gator hunters out in the swamps of Louisiana. After killing a gator, they retreat to their camp, where Misty Day, that poor Cajun girl who got burned at the steak last week, waited for them. She doesn't approve of their ways, you know killing animals and all, so she brings the gators back to life and they eat the men who hunted them. Then it's time for credits.

From ibtimes.com

        We return to see the girls at the "witch school", as I call it, getting ready for their morning meeting. When Cordelia goes to fetch Fiona for the ritual, she notices that something stinks, but Fiona blames the foul odor on some herbs that she is burning. The real reason for the smell, of course, is Madame LaLaurie because living in a box for 130 plus years really takes a toll on one's personal hygiene.
        The girls go down for morning ritual, and two police officers show up asking questions about the bus accident and why one of the guys died after Zoe visited him at the hospital. While Madison keeps her mouth shut, Zoe blurts out the whole thing, including the fact that they are witches. Fiona enters as she is telling them this, gives the cops some water she spit in, causing them to lose the memory of coming to the school and give her all of their files.Seeing what Zoe did, Fiona gives Zoe a good scolding about being weak after throwing her and Madison into a wall.
          Meanwhile, Cordelia is facing infertility problems. She and her husband discuss using magic to fix their problem, but she insists that she doesn't want to. Fast forward to later in the show, where they decide to use magic and end up having sex. The sex, which takes place in a pentagram, or something like it, involves them talking to each other in Greek. It also makes snakes appear.

From tv.ibtimes.com

       Madison and Zoe break into the New Orleans morgue where the frat guys mangled bodies are. They use pieces from each guy to make the perfect guy, but when Madison says the spell, it doesn't work. She goes back to the car, and when another car pulls up, decides to get the hell out of dodge. Zoe, meanwhile, uses the spell successfully, and her new boyfriend who is like Rocky from "Rocky Horror Picture Show" ends up killing the guy, and they both escape. On the way back to the school, Zoe and her new Frankenstein like partner get a surprise when Misty Day pops up from the backseat.
          Meanwhile, Fiona is with Madame LaLaurie, and she learns that Marie Laveau cursed Madame LaLaurie with immortality. This scene led to a flashback where LaLaurie walks out of her house to find Laveau with a group of angry people. The mob, which shouts their hatred of LaLaurie, also took the liberty to hang all of LaLaurie's children leaving her to live forever alone. Then they stuff her in the box. Fiona doesn't seem to care about the story though, she just wants to find Laveau to get her spell of immortality.
           Back at the school, Nan get tired of hearing LaLaurie's thoughts and lets her go. When LaLaurie sees Queenie, she yells racial epithets and knocks her out with a candlestick. Nan, not phased a bit, looks on to the whole scene.
            Zoe, in the meantime, is back with Misty Day in some old shack near the bayou. Misty tells her that she knows the perfect cure for Zoe's boyfriend, but it will take a while. Zoe agrees to leave him their with her, and she promises to return even though she seems skeptical of Misty's intentions.

From blogs.zap2it.com

            After finding out about the spell, Fiona goes to get her hair done at a salon in the Ninth Ward, where Marie Laveau, who is also immortal, works. She and Laveau get into a big conversation about voodoo vs. witchcraft, and Fiona asks Laveau for the spell. Laveau tells her about how much abuse African people and voodoo practitioners have gone through at the hands of witches, and she refuses to give her the spell. This causes Fiona to set some wigs on fire and leave, leaving Marie Laveau to her Minotaur lover.
            Upon returning from the salon, Fiona finds LaLaurie on the street. She tells LaLaurie that she will not get far, and that it won't be pretty if she tries to escape again. The ladies have a chat about how LaLaurie was a woman of her time (blah,blah, blah), but Fiona still tells her she thinks she's evil. In the end, the two ladies head back to the school and the credits roll.

 Next Week- LaLaurie becomes a maid.
P.S. Sorry if I got the chronology wrong. Only watched the episode once. Please forgive me.

Hot Hump Day: Five Sexy Shirtless News Anchors To Get You Through The Rest Of Your Week

     It's Wednesday, and that means you are halfway through your workweek if you, like most Americans, work Monday through Friday. You may be a little tired, cranky, and ready for the weekend to get here already, but I have the perfect solution to get you through your hump day woes, red blooded men. Here are five sexy and shirtless news anchors to get you through the rest of your week!

From feastoffun.com

        Coming in at number one is CNN anchor T.J Holmes. This anchor hosts a variety of programs at the network, but he also does a lot of on the field reporting. Lucky for us, that's where they got this shot of him sans shirt looking incredibly sexy.

From themrsastor.blogspot.com

     Coming in at number two is CNN watherman and anchor Rob Marciano. I know him from being my local weather man for a bit back in the day, but he was quickly swooped up by CNN so the rest of the world could get to know this fine gentleman.

From mnn.com

          Number three on the list is Mike Woods. While he may not be familiar to you, he has delighted New York City with his great looks and even better personality for years while forecasting the weather at the local Fox station in the Big Apple. From the looks of the picture above, I don't think most Americans would mind if he took his appeal nationally.

From feastoffun.com

      Number four on the list is MSNBC news anchor Thomas Roberts. While not letting you know what's going on weekdays at 11 Eastern on MSNBC, he is post adorable picture of him and his husband Patrick D. Abner on Twitter. And, I think that we all can agree from the pic above, Mr. Abner is one lucky man.

From homorazzi.com

    And last but certainly not least is ABC news personality Chris Cuomo. While he may delve into some of the most serious stories of our time, he also looks seriously good. A family man, Cuomo has been married to his wife since 2001, and he has three kids. 

   So there you have it folks. Hope it helps fight those midweek blues.P.S. There were more hot anchormen I wanted to feature, but they did not have any shirtless pics (I'm looking at you Richard Liu and Don Lemon).

American Horror Story Coven Recap: Episode One, "Bitchcraft"

    Last night, the new season of American Horror Story kicked off, and, true to previous seasons, it did not disappoint. The episode opened with Kathy Bates playing Madame LaLaurie, a socialite in New Orleans in the 1830s. After a dinner party, LaLaurie's husband catches one of her daughters sleeping with a slave, and this sets her off. She takes the slave up to her attic, where other servants and slaves are kept in cages brutally mutilated. And what is the proper punishment for her slave? Well, she puts a bull's head on him, turning him into a minotaur.

     After the credits role, we are introduced to Zoe, who is having her first sexual encounter with a random guy. As they begin to have sex, he begins to bleed out of all of his orifices and eventually dies. The doctor's rule the cause of death as a brain aneurysm, but Zoe's mother let's her know that the true cause for her death is the fact that she has powers as a witch. Since she has these powers, she is in danger, and so three men and Frances Conroy's character take her away to a boarding school for witches.

      Upon arriving at the school, she meets Nan, Queenie, and Madison, the only three girls who are enrolled at the school.. They quickly let her know that they all have powers, and that Cordelia (the school's headmistress played by Sarah Paulson) helps protect them from the dangers of the world while helping them with their powers. And do they have a reason to need protecting? After all, a witch (Lily Rabe) was burned at the steak a few weeks before, and they could have the same thing coming to them.
      Enter Jessica Lange's character Fiona (The Supreme) who is in L.A. trying to find a potion to live forever. After the doctor can't give her the medicine that she wants, Fiona goes on a cocaine binge at her hotel, and when the doctor shows up to talk to her, she sucks the life out of him literally. After that task is over, she turns on the TV to see the story of the girl who was burned at the steak, and this causes her to go back to New Orleans. Upon her arrival, she and Cordelia, her daughter the headmistress, have it out in a Joan Crawford Mommy Dearest fight which ends in Cordelia wishing her mother dead.

(From newsday.com)

      Fast forward to Zoe and Madison attending a frat party. A group of frat guys date rapes Madison. To get her revenge, Madison flips the bus that they are driving and all but two survive. The next morning, Fiona finds out about what happened, and she decides it's the perfect time to take the girls on a field trip to educate themselves about their gifts. While on the trip, they pass Madame LaLaurie's house where they learn that Marie Laveau killed Madam LaLaurie for torturing her lover, and Nan takes an interest to a fountain outside the house. When Fiona asks what Nan is feeling, she says that the Mistress of The House is buried there, and Fiona's interest is peaked.
       Later that night, Fiona goes to the place where Nan felt Madame LaLaurie's spirit, and she digs up her casket. Upon opening the casket, an alive and well LaLaurie emerges. The two walk away as Fiona quips "Come on Martha Washington let me buy you a drink.
       Zoe goes to visit the hospital where the fraternity guys that survived the crash are being kept, hoping that the boy that had nothing to do with the rape survives. When she discovers that one of the rapist survived, she decides to use her power and kill him by having sex with him. Credits roll.

Overall episode one really set up the season to have lots of conflict and horror in it, and I must say that I was impressed with the way Ryan Murphy intertwined real life historical figures with his fictional witches. Kathy Bates, to me, was the star of the show, as we all know that she plays evil well. I wish that the younger characters on the show (girls at the school) were more well rounded, but I guess that's the thing about being young, sometimes people aren't well rounded. Nonetheless, I will be tuning in from week to week to see what Ryan Murphy has up his sleeve.
