Anyway, this horror/thriller, starring Julianne Moore and Jonathan Rhys Meyers (perhaps best known for period drama series The Tudors), tells the story of a mental patient with multiple personalities.

Moore’s character Cara is a forensic psychiatrist who doesn’t believe the disorder exists. Unfortunately, she gets more than she bargained for when David (Meyers) begins to put members of her family in danger.

I watched this film with one of my best friends, who is adamant it is one of ‘the best films she’s seen in ages!’

I’m not so convinced.

The acting ability within the film is definitely high. Meyers succeeds in playing a variety of different characters and changing their accents accordingly. Moore does just as well, with more minor characters being acted expertly.

I have an issue with horror movies in general, though: they’re just never original.

We always get some dark, seedy setting, like an abandoned lake house or a disused hospital and the plot usually just consists of each of the characters being murdered, with the main character being the only survivor.

This is pretty much what ‘Shelter’ was like.

There were some elements of originality to the film: the idea of ancient witchcraft affecting the dynamic of the main plot and its combination with mental illness gives it at least some positives.

Horror films also rarely make me ‘jump’. But there were some points in which my heart literally felt like it had stopped.

Overall, I think the film was too long. It must have been around 2 and a half to 3 hours, which I felt dragged.

If you’re a fan of great acting, watch this film. If you’re not a fan of obvious plot lines and the usual horror ‘obvious’ outcomes, don’t watch it.

Honestly, I won’t be watching it again, but I do understand why some would enjoy this film.

Overall Rating: 6 out of 10.

Yeah, we’ve been away a little bit too long. It seems exams have taken over.

I do have 2 exams left myself, but Music Monday is supposed to be weekly and I’ve actually bombarded you with dusty, old history articles instead of hip (is that word still cool?) music shizzle. Ma nizzle. I’m attempting to up my street cred now, after that 60s hippie vocab outburst.

Proceeding now.

Song #1: I Won’t Say (I’m In Love) – Susan Egan: Who, you ask? Well, this quality piece of tunage is actually from Disney’s Hercules soundtrack. Musical theatre super-nerds will know that Ms. Egan is a Broadway superstar. She’s already starred in Cabaret, Beauty and the Beast and Thoroughly Modern Millie – an awesome track record, if you ask me. But what about this song?

Well, the fact that Egan’s super thoroughly trained pipes are so perfect make this song a little bit perfect from the start. In the background though, Susan is accompanied by a 3 piece gospel choir, which bulks up the vocal slightly. Everyone knows Disney songs are always catchy anyway, so that’s not really a factor. Fun, cheesy pop-style song.

Song #2: Open House – Bombay Bicycle Club: Ah, the Bicycle Club. You dedicated, eagle-eyed readers might have seen thisband mentioned before on The Daily Wiggle. Again, if you know me you’ll know I’m always advocating British music, so these cheeky Londoners are right up my alley. They’ve only actually had one album and have another on the way, but I’m expecting big things from these guys.

Chances are, if you’ve heard any of this band before, this will be the song you’ve heard. It’s catchy, fun and definitely good enough for release. The minimalism that this track harbours is actually what makes it so great. It’s not minimalistic in a Coldplay, slash my wrists because of the painful silence kind of way, it’s just typical, British indie that somehow manages to be slightly different from the rest.

Song #3: Six Feet Under The Stars – All Time Low: I never actually listen to All Time Low. Like, ever. In fact, I only have 3 of their songs and I’m pretty sure I only downloaded them because an ex told me they were good. Apparently though, they are pretty successful. They’ve have 4 studio albums since 2005 and have toured with bands such as Fall Out Boy and Metro Station.

Now in my head, they’re a little boring. And when I listen to this song, my head proves to be correct. I think my heart is to blame too: I don’t really even want to like them, so I am sort of making it difficult. It’s not that this song sounds like a train-wreck or anything, but when I listen to it, it makes me want to skip it. To be honest, it feels like they’re nothing more than a Cute Is What We Aim For wannabe. Over it.

Song #4: Breathe On Me – Britney Spears: This is the second time Britney has appeared on Music Monday. Seeing as about 5million of the tracks on my iPod are by Britney or feature Britney, this probably won’t be the last time you’ll see her. This track is from her comeback ‘In The Zone’ album, which showed us a more grown up, mature side of Britters. Even though it was released prior to her breakdown.

What can I say about this song? It is a song that is obviously about sex and Britney does nothing to hide it. With a pounding bass in the background and Ms. Spears’ groans of pleasure in the foreground, this is definitely a song Britney performs to encourage all the horny couples out there to have sex. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if you gained a half erection when listening to it. Just sayin’.

Song #5: Ironic – Alanis Morissette: Oh, Alanis. Everyone knows Alanis, don’t they? Well, in case you don’t, she has 7 studioalbums and has an extensive list of TV and movie credits, including Dogma and Sex & the City. In my opinion, Jagged Little Pill is the best album she’s released, and this track is actually from that album.

You’ll have definitely heard this song. I have no idea where, but in general, every person I know has heard this song and knows a good proportion of the words to it. It speaks a lot of words about the irony in life, such as “a no-smoking sign on your cigarette break” and “a death row pardon two minutes too late”. Can you just imagine?! Yeah, Alanis captures the idea of irony here in a fabulously musical fashion. Full marks.

Top Track This Week: Open House – Bombay Bicycle Club.

Well actually, I planned on concentrating on exams, but ended up sitting on Twitter and watching videos of Glee and Lady GaGa on Tumblr all day.

Fail much?

So I felt it was only right to post a Music Monday this week. Here goes nothin’…

Song #1: Bohemian Like You – The Dandy Warhols: Chances are, you’ll have heard this song on a TV show or an advert of some sort. From Portland, Oregon, this alt-rock/indie band have 9 albums to their name. And this track is possibly their most well known. Their band page claims they were influenced by The Velvet Underground, the Beach Boys and the Beatles.

I actually really like this song. It’s catchy and has dryly humorous comedic lyrics. The guitar is possibly one of the most memorable from modern indie songs and is a real party tune – everyone will know it. And because everyone knows it, it will get everyone dancing. I recommend.

Song #2: The Way I Am – Ingrid Michaelson: I’ve been a fan of Ingrid Michaelson ever since I heard her song ‘Keep Breathing’ on an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. Her songs are always fuelled by emotion and feeling and this is no exception. Ingrid is also apparently the genius behind Cheryl Cole’s ‘Parachute’, so she is pretty amazing already.

With a softly spoken voice, this tune is really relaxing without being boring. As I’ve just explained to a friend, this song makes me want to kiss people. A lot. So that’s gotta be a good thing, right? Plus, I always say that if you can create a music video in your head whilst listening to a song, it must be a pretty good one. This is a perfect example of this.

Song #3: Supernova – Mr. Hudson: I’m pretty sure a lot of people in the UK have heard of Mr. Hudson, as his album reached arelatively high position in our chart last year, but I’m not so sure you guys in the US are familiar with him. Mr. Hudson is actually British, and is supporting Jay-Z on his UK show this year. So from that fact, you can tell he’s gonna be pretty good.

I have a not so fond memory of this song: once, after a night filled with drinking and dancing (and slight vomit), an alarm was put on a friend’s phone so we would all wake up for school the next day. I know what you’re thinking: drinking on a school night is so Skins. (Now try and tell me Skins is unrealistic…) But anyway, that’s how we roll. And the phone alarm just happened to be this song. And it was so loud. OH, the hangover. Still, a good tune when you’re sober. (Or, you know, still drunk.)

Song #4: Bone Chaos in the Castle – Kaki King: How do I begin to describe Kaki King? She’s a very alternative artist and to like her, I’d say you have to be truly appreciative of music or a lesbian. Don’t ask me why, but lesbians seem to love her! She’s had 8 albums/EPs and each of them have been reasonably successful.

This is one of the Kaki King songs that actually contain no lyrics. Instead, she presents us with a strong piece of music that is, again, indescribable. It’s actually close to sounding a little bit like music from a shopping channel, but it contains far too much acoustic guitar for that. But I have to like this song, as many of the notes and beats that you hear come from rhythmical tapping of body of the guitar in between strumming. Amazing to watch. YouTube it.

Song #5: If We Ever Meet Again – Timbaland feat. Katy Perry: I don’t know why, but I’m not usually into RnB. I’m sureTimbaland doesn’t need any introduction to all you teeny boppers. He’s only actually had 3 other solo albums, but his hits include ‘Give It To Me’ and ‘The Way I Are’, which I’m sure you’ve heard of too.

Anyway, like I said, I’m not usually into RnB. This is probably because it’s quite mainstream, but then again, so is Lady GaGa and I love her! It might be that this song contains Katy Perry, who I am quite a fan of after ‘Thinking of You’, but I think that’s just one thing that contributes towards my love of this song. It’s catchy and less cliché than your average pop song, which makes me want to listen to it more than other bands such as ‘N-Dubz’ and others in the same category. Top notch, Timbaland.

Top Track This Week: If We Ever Meet Again – Timbaland feat. Katy Perry.

This episode is now renamed ‘Bent Not Broken.’ I’ve decided this because of the lovely Arizona’s speech towards the end of this episode. She delivered the line “I’m not broken” so perfectly that I immediately thought to find a song with ‘broken’ in the title. It also helps that Arizona is, well… bent. *silence* Not to be derogatory in any way, of course.

Surgery of the Week.

To be quite honest, I can’t really remember any surgery this week other than this:

Excuse the graphic quality of the above photograph.

I love that freakish stuff always happens at Seattle Grace Mercy West. Can anyone remember the guy with the bomb in his chest? Of course, nothing is simple during surgery, and cardio surgeon Teddy sneezing right on cue during a pivotal moment of holding the body cavity still in order for Owen to extract the hook. Woops.

This results in Derek nearly firing Teddy and giving her job to a more qualified surgeon. Luckily, he declines, meaning that Teddy keeps her job and leaves us keeping our fingers crossed that she and Owen will finally get together! (Again.)

Romantic Moment of the Week.

Okay, this wasn’t really romantic, but actually quite heart-breaking.

After watching Callie & Arizona bicker about having a baby throughout the entire episode, Callie tells her girlfriend that she doesn’t need a baby. Of course, she doesn’t mean it and starts to cry.

This followed by Arizona simply saying the word ‘don’t', followed by a kiss. The kiss itself was very romantic, but mostly, it was just extremely sad that Callie has given up her dream for Arizona. Again, this act seems quite romantic, but anyone who knows Callie’s romantic history will know that she is always the one who has to work in a relationship. Give her a break, Shonda!

Bailey Moment of the Week.

I’m appalled that Bailey actually got less screen time than a freakin’ newborn baby this week. But whatever.

Bailey’s top moment this week was when she told Lexie to stop letting Alex walk all over her.

Lexie realized that they had misdiagnosed the hook in side guy and that he was in fact infected. Bailey simply tells her to stop doing what Alex says because he is giving her sex and do what she has to do for her own career. Right on.

Quote of the Week.

This week, Bailey states the obvious.

You may be thinking ‘then why does she get quote of the week?’ Well…

“I’m Dr. Bailey. I know everything.”

And she so obviously does. The way Chandra Wilson says this line is actually perfect. Comedic timing and all. I gotta say that Bailey remains to be one of my favourite characters, and she has been from the very beginning.

Overall Episode Rating: 6 out of 10.

I actually enjoyed parts of this episode, but it’s general depressive nature has given me cause to give it a lower rating than the last episode. I loved all the drama with Callie & Arizona because it was perfectly acted, but the whole Mark/Sloane/baby thing is getting far too blue now. Let’s move on.

Don’t say we don’t spoil you.

If you’re thinking ‘but it’s not Monday!’ don’t worry. I know this. But music reviews aren’t exclusive to Monday, so I thought I’d just slap in a lovely album release for you all.

I actually saw Ms. Nash play live back in 2008 and she was really quite good. Her first album, ‘Made of Bricks’, was also awarded a respectable 4 stars HERE (click!) at the Daily Wiggle, so let’s see if this matches up in greatness, shall we?

Track #1: Paris – Ahh what a way to kick off a fresh start. Nash’s first album was definitely raw. It was great, don’t get me wrong, but it was raw. With little more than an acoustic guitar, a piano and a little bit of synth, her first album was quite basic. But this song already shows that Nash is on a bigger budget this time round, with trumpets, strings and of course, her trademark London accent. It’s all very home grown. But still fabulous.

Track #2: Kiss That Grrrl – For some reason, the first thing I thought of when listening to this was ‘the Beach Boys’. Maybe it’s the drums and the beachy feel to the guitar to the intro. Anyway, Kate’s signature lyrics are back with this track. They did lack a little in the first song, but this one reminds me a bit of ‘Mariella’ from the debut in some parts.

Track #3: Don’t You Want To Share The Guilt? – Not sure if I hear a ukulele here, but if I do, I’m in love with it from the intro. Ukuleles make every song worth listening to. I’d even listen to a bit of the Cheeky Girls if they stuck a little bit of uke in there. I like the quirkiness Kate uses to start this song with; the first two words of this tune are ‘Barbecue’ and ‘food’. Something I love with all my heart. To top it off, the rant Nash has at the end of this one is epic. Simply epic.

Track #4: I Just Love You More – When I first hit the ‘play’ button on track 4, it sounded nothing like a Kate Nash track. This one sounds rocky and edgy – 2 words I would never use to describe this songstress. But it seems that Nash’s new sound is apparent, especially in this one.  I love the little squeals she does in this one. Don’t listen to it if you’re not weird in the slightest, because it’ll probably freak you out.

Track #5: Do-Wah-Doo – I’ll have to admit I wasn’t a huge fan of this first single when I first heard it, but it’s definitely a grower. This one has a heavy guitar and the chorus actually makes me super happy. It wouldn’t be out of place if it was used as the soundtrack to an episode of Skins and makes me want to dance quite a lot. You’ll be singing ‘bum-bi-dum-bi-dum-bi-dum-bum’ repeatedly for ages after listening.

Track #6: Take Me To A Higher Plane – This kicks off with some super jolly violins that make the track seem randomly Irish. Don’t even know why. I like it anyway! The lyrics are actually pretty dark, but the happiness of the music that accompanies it turns the whole table around, giving it a great air of juxtaposition. Possibly my favourite track so far…

Track #7: I’ve Got A Secret – I really don’t understand the opening of this song but I guess it’s the quirkiness Kate is going for. Again, this track is much more edgy than anything on her previous album with its rockstar electric guitar, which isn’t a bad thing, but I’m not sure if I like this new Kate as much as I like the old Kate yet.

Track #8: Mansion Song – Finally, a song that ends in ’song’. Last time round, we had ‘Skeleton Song’ and ‘Shit Song’, so I was hoping we’d get a ’song’ this time too. This starts again with a rant from Kate Nash. But I love it, for some reason. The rant continues for a good 1 minute and 35 seconds and it says something about modern culture, telling a story on the way. The song afterwards is jumpy, fun and it makes you chant the lyrics immediately. Love it.

Track #9: Early Christmas Present – Christmas? In April? Let’s see what randomness Kate has come up with here… Not the strongest song by a mile, but it’s still cute and fun like the rest of the album. I don’t think this is a song that I’ll really remember out of all of them, but it’s not bad anyway.

Track #10: Later On – Drums! I love a Nash song that has drums in it. Simply because it’s so rare. I think this is where the album seems to get a little repetitive, but as I listen to the songs more, they’ll probably be easier to differentiate between the tracks. This song is nice and all but… not my favourite. I wonder if there’ll be any small, slow songs like ‘The Nicest Thing’ from the old album any time soon… A little variation would be nice.

Track #11: Pickpocket – I actually heard this in 2008 live when I saw Kate at Nottingham. (England). I don’t remember much about it but I can’t remember thinking it was pretty cute. I love the introduction of tinkling keys and this track definitely sounds much more like vintage Nash. Her vocals actually sound pretty dreamy with a raspy quality that I’ve not noticed before in this song and I think I like it. Lovely song.

Track #12: You Were So Far Away – What’s this I hear? A slow song? Well, ask and you shall receive. I actually thought the start of the track (before Kate started singing) was a Mumford & Sons track. I don’t know why, I guess the guitar just sounded a little like their song ‘The Cave’. This isn’t as sweet and meaningful as ‘The Nicest Thing’ – it’s actually got a pretty dark story behind it. This song actually leaves Kate’s vocal nowhere to hide, as the editing team have made sure that her voice is the main feature here, overshadowing the background guitar. It’s interesting and unlike anything I’ve heard before.

Track #13: I Hate Seagulls – This song is a long list about things Kate (probably personally) hates. I enjoy this, because most of these things I hate too. Feels like you can really relate to her, which is definitely a good thing and something you can’t really get in other songs by other artists. You know these songs are based on something that has happened to Nash personally, which is really great. It’s not all negative though, as Kate begins to warble sweetly about her special ‘friend’ of hers. It’s quite pretty and I’m glad she’s decided to include 2 slow songs this time through.

On the whole, I’m not convinced yet that I prefer this new age Kate Nash to the vintage, extremely British Kate I remember, but with a few more listens, I think that I could really warm to this album. I recommend it.

Top 3 Tracks:

Take Me To A Higher Plane

Pickpocket

I Hate Seagulls

What happened this week? Well, a volcano erupted in Iceland, meaning that shit loads of European flights got cancelled. My favourite thing that happened this week? Nick Clegg became the hero of the Liberal Democrats and made David Cameron look ugly, old-fashioned and an all round dick.

Damn, I’ve sworn twice already…

But I’m not here to talk politics. Onto the music.

Song #1: Cry Me A River – The Cliks: I don’t actually know how this song came to exist on my iPod. I don’t even know who ‘The Cliks’ are, but apparently they can’t spell. Time for some research… Vancouver based, often compared to Bowie and The White Stripes and apparently they’re all gays. Hmm. Sounds fabulous if you ask me. Listening to the track, I’d agree with the White Stripes comparison. Which is definitely a good thing.

Yes, this song is a cover of the Justin Timberlake classic ‘Cry Me A River’. I actually like the original, but this one is just as good. It sounds almost like an entirely different song though. The band plays electric guitar, bass and a hefty drum beat that is definitely not as falsely manufactured as Timbo’s version. Great stuff. (Oh, p.s. I’m scrapping the whole ‘you can buy it HERE!’ shizzle. If you really want to listen/download, you’d get your lazy ass to type the band name in a search engine and find it yourself.)

Song #2: Son of a Preacher Man – Dusty Springfield: How do I even start to describe Dusty? No, not the bin, I mean Springfield. No, not the place where the Simpsons live… You know who I mean. Some say Ms. S was the goddess of soul. The GodMother. SOUL SISTAH. Catch my drift? Well whoever it was, they weren’t wrong. Can you believe this track was released in 1968? Me neither. Still sounds fresh as ever.

Many people have tried to cover this song, but no one really comes close to the way Dusty performs it. Her voice is suitably husky, the music is typically retro and the tune is still as catchy as ever. It actually makes me wish I was old. They don’t make music like this any more (with the exception of soul gems Paloma Faith and Paolo Nutini) but I wish they did. We need a few more popstrels like her and less of the slutty, wannabe generation.

Song #3: Constant Knot – City & Colour: This band is actually fronted by Dallas Green, the main man behind hardcore screamo band Alexisonfire. However, this band could not be more different from his original. This time round, Green goes for a more acoustic, folky version of Alexisonfire, with beautiful acoustic guitar strumming and a perfect raspy voice. However, I’m not sure I like this band as much.

I really want to like them, because this is usually the sort of music I listen to, but I just find them slightly bland sometimes. This song is pretty enough with a stunning vocal, but it’s not as good as some of their other tracks. (For example, ‘Save Your Scissors’ and ‘Confessions’.) You’ll like this if you like easy listening, laid back tracks, but I don’t find this band overly excited. A nice listen anyway.

Song #4: International Hustler – Freeway: I wasn’t aware that this was on my iTunes. Delete, delete, DELETEEEEE!!!!! (As you can see, I don’t recommend this song.)

Song #5: Spotlight – Jennifer Hudson: Ah, the Hudmeister. I love everything she’s ever done and everything she will do forevermore. You’ll probably remember her from Dream Girls or the Sex & the City movie, or if you’re a hardcore fan, you’ll know that Hudson was actually a contestant on the third season of American Idol which was won by Fantasia. (Fantasia does not feature anywhere in my iTunes, if you were wondering.)

I personally am a huge fan of J.Hud. She’s amazingly talented and I often compare her to Mercedes from Glee. Which is always a good thing. This song is the perfect R&B track, with pretty good lyrics (for an R&B song) and a catchy chorus. Catchy songs are generally winners in my book. With a few notable exceptions, such as ‘Babycakes‘ by 3 of a Kind and ‘Never Forget‘ by Take That. I’d definitely buy this if I were a fan of Aretha Franklin or Destiny’s Child.

Top Track This Week: Son of a Preacher Man – Dusty Springfield.

Number One

It’s a Martin Scorsese film- Marty is the man! He has been directing since 1959 so knows what he is doing. Gangs of New York, The Departed and Goodfellas are modern classics. These films have pulled in the awards including Best Director for the Departed. Why should this change? Shutter Island is brilliantly directed and the essence of the 1950s is captured superbly.

 Number 2

It’s based on a Dennis LeHane novel- Dennis LaHane films have started appearing in the cinema and past experience tells me that this should be good too. Gone Baby Gone is the most recent film adaptation. Similar to Shutter Island, it is an emotion driven film with a twist at the end. It is a film that I also recommend.

 Number 3

It’s unpredictable- when you enter the cinema you expect the film just to be about a federal investigation of a missing prisoner of Ashecliffe mental asylum. However it involves into so much more. The twist at the end you don’t see coming initially when you see a sea sick DiCaprio on a boat.

 Number 4

It’s filled with great performances- Leonardo DiCaprio’s emotion driven performance makes you feel for him throughout. Ben Kingsley’s complex character of brilliantly portrayed and this all adds to the eventual twist. Mark Ruffalo seemingly insignificant character is brilliantly performed but plays a vital part in this film. In my opinion it is a shame that Mark Ruffalo is not an A Lister yet. He is a suberb actor which is evident in his other work such as Zodiac.

 Number 5

You will leave the cinema in a state of confusion- some films are easy to understand as they spoon feed you information and doesn’t make you think. In contrast, you leave the cinema and you think, “what the hell just happened?” Then you think about it for a few hours about different scenarios. When was the last time you did that at the cinema?

 Number 6

It’s set in the 1950s- One of my favourite films Back to the Future is based in the 1950s. It seems such a nice era to live. However, Shutter Island paints a darker picture of this era. It pulls in themes such as World War Two, Communism and Music of the time which contribute to the dark feel of the film.

 Number 7

It has over the top music- The score for Shutter Island is so loud and bold that it partly made me giggle. It is not something that you would expect in such a film more like at a classical music concert. Why spend so much money on going to a concert when you can see a film which is more entertaining for a fiver? It seems like this is a good value for money event. Plus, this film has all the twists and turns that makes a more entertaining watch than a Mozart concert.

 Number 8

There’s nothing better to watch released this weekend- you can go and see I Love You Philip Morris which will probably be a drawn out mess with the odd laugh in it. Or you can see a film that that will make you think and stay in your mind for the rest of the weekend. The only logical thing to do is spend that fiver on a classic film from a legendary director.

Number 9

It’s on the IMDB 250 best films ever list- don’t just take my word for it; moviegoers from around the world have rated this film as one of the 250 films of all time. Its currently 216 in the 250 films. Check it out on http://www.imdb.com/chart/top

Number 10

A 4 star film- Overall, I give this film 4 stars. A complex and thrilling film that actually makes you think. It is filled with emotion driven performances and it seems so realistic. However the 138 running time may be a little long such a film and at times it does seem to drag on. However, I think that you should see such a film as it is a worth while watch.

Push. Push? Ehh, another title I don’t understand.

Look at Webber, looking all happy with himself. Yep, he’s happy ’cause Shepherd chose his surgical methods over Hunt’s. Well DUH, the black man always beats the ginger. (No form of ginger racism intended there, by the way, it was just a joke relating to something Webber said in the episode!)

Surgery of the Week.

Not a surgery as such, but this week, Callie made cartilage.

I’m not sure if this is a wholly new discovery or something, but the way in which Callie reacts is pretty much like it’s something that’s never happened before.

And to be honest, making cartilage? Surely that is the work of a genius.

Romantic Moment of the Week.

Not heavy on the romance this week. So I’ll go with a moment that started out romantic and slowly declined into a time of sadness.

Callie & Arizona decide they’re the golden couple at Seattle Grace right now. Which they pretty much are, as we don’t seem to see MerDer an awful lot because of Pompeo’s real life pregnancy.

This is also followed up with the dialogue:

Arizona: You’re amazing.

Callie: We’re amazing.

I mean, that’s romantic in itself, right? Nothing like romance over some newly made cartilage…

Of course, this descends into the unhappiness when Arizona tells Callie she doesn’t want kids. And she doesn’t notice that Callie is actually devastated. Oh dear. We’ll see what happens there.

Bailey Moment of the Week.

Bailey gives in to the cute anaesthesiologist.

Yep, it seems that Bailey finally has a new love interest since her divorce.

Throughout the episode, she was determined that they would not have sex. But the end of the last scene contained some steamy kisses, which looked like they were going somewhere to me…

Quote of the Week.

Again, Bailey wins here.

She gives one of her hilarious speeches to Callie. The Bailey/Callie relationship is actually pretty funny, if you ask me.

Let me tell you a little somethin’ about my ’surgical field’, okay? I prep my surgical field with soap and water. I keep my surgical field the way God made it. I don’t need a member of the Ukrainian KGB waxing it smooth so that it can be mistaken for the surgical field of a 5 year old girl. I am a woman. And a woman is meant to have something on her surgical field. If a man can’t deal with a little somethin’ on the surgical field, a little nature, a little God, then that man has no business getting near my surgical field.

And after that monologue, Callie simply states “Fine! I’m not putting a gun to your head!”

Big lol. Points to anyone who can work out what ’surgical field’ is a euphemism for.

Overall Episode Rating: 9 out of 10. I really enjoyed this week’s episode. Way more than I enjoyed this week’s ‘Skins’ episode. Awesomesauce.

There’s no Grey’s this week (bummer!) so there’ll obviously be no recap until next week.

Perfect Little Accident. Yep, that’s exactly what Webber’s surgery is. I won’t ruin it for you, but it does involve *GASP!* Harper-Avery.

It also involved Arizona and Teddy becoming best buds all of a sudden.

Cute.

Surgery of the Week.

Okay, I can’t hold it in any longer. Let’s discuss Webber and his Harper-Avery surgery.

That’s right, despite Richard requesting as little pressure as possible on his first day back, he ends up doing the surgery that could earn him the Harper-Avery award. What’s worse: Avery wants to be awake during the surgery.

Surprisingly, this fact saves the day: after Avery insists that Webber use special sutures on his wound, he has an allergic reaction. Of course, during the surgery, Webber had no idea that he was allergic to the stitches, and there is great panic when he thinks he’s messed up his first day. Hence the ‘perfect little accident’. If it were not for Avery’s allergy, Webber would have hit the ultimate rock bottom.

Romantic Moment of the Week.

Pretty much the steamiest couple right now on Grey’s?

Come on, look at them! Making out just before a trauma case is going to hit.

Obviously their smooching is cut short because of imminent death, but it’s sexy while it lasts.

Bailey Moment of the Week.

There is no contest for the best Bailey moment this week.

The picture says it all.

This week, Callie & Arizona took it upon themselves to organize a ‘girl’s night’. Okay, I’m guessing it was pretty much Arizona who organized it. Anyway, they ended up going to play baseball and Bailey took a swing. And she hit it. Much to the surprise of all the other girls, but nevertheless, it was a golden Bailey moment.

Quote of the Week.

Quotes. Quotes. Quotes. Nothing’s jumping out at me, so it looks like I’m going to have to think about this one a lot.

Ah, perfect.

“Oh no. Because you slept with my girlfriend and when I look at you, I want to hit you with a brick.”

Yep, that’s Arizona’s response to Karev’s request to get in on a surgery. And rightly so! It is hilarious anyway.

Especially ’cause she says it with that sugary-sweet, dimpled smile of hers. YUM.

Overall Episode Rating: 7 out of 10. Lacked the drama of Grey’s this week, but it was still pretty cute.

As I write this, their album ‘Sigh No More’ is number 7 in the iTunes chart, so they must be doing something right, right?

Let’s see…

Track #1: Sigh No More – Many people have said that Mumford are a lot like Fleet Foxes. This track reflects this notion beautifully, as the melodic chanting lyrics are not far away from the Foxes’ style at all. I’d say Mumford & Sons are just that little bit more exciting, as this song proves.

Track #2: The Cave – You might recognize this song when you hear it because it’s appeared on several British TV adverts. It’s definitely one of my favourite tracks on the album because of its simplicity and, in a weird way, it’s extremely catchy. The tune behind it is not one you’re going to want to forget in a hurry.

Track #3: Winter Winds – This track was actually released in the UK in 2009 but missed out on the top 40 by just 4 places. I never heard it back then, but since, I’ve heard it several times on BBC’s radio 1 and I’m sure I’ve heard it a couple of times on TV, which just goes to show the growing status of this band. A perfect song.

Track #4: Roll Away Your Stone – No, it’s nothing to do with Jesus and the Easter story. It’s actually a lot less depressing and far more jolly than that story. The chirpy, fast tempo guitar and banjo work perfectly here with an extremely vintage feel.

Track #5: White Blank Page – Another of my favourites, this song is both haunting and inspirational. The lyrics are just perfect: not a single one doesn’t make you reflect on a certain time in your life when you were asking these questions. (“Oh tell me now, where was my fault in loving you with my whole heart?”) Sounds depressing, but it’s really just a flawless song.

Track #6: I Gave You All – Yes, you did, Mumford & Sons. You gave us all with this album. This track is definitely one of the more depressing, and could probably pass as a Death Cab song in terms of its lyrics. Scratching of steel guitar strings is always something I like to hear, and this song ticks this most important box.

Track #7: Little Lion Man – Apparently, this was Mumford’s first single release. Not many people could have heard it, because it’s simply wonderful, but again failed to appear in the UK Top 40. The chorus here is really quite catchy and beautifully British. I approve.

Track #8: Timshel – And we’re back to the chant-y loveliness that is easily comparable with Fleet Foxes. The way in which they chorally sing in this track is so haunting and beautiful that it could fit into any good movie soundtrack with ease.

Track #9: Thistle & Weeds – Not sure this is one of the best tracks here, but it’s certainly not boring. I love the chorus, but it’s really quite depressing. I suppose it’d be great for anyone looking to listen to some mourn-y music. The piano is also particularly good.

Track #10: Awake My Soul – Being a Christian, I really enjoy this song because of the biblical connotations it has. Of course, I love the song because of how it sounds too, but the way in which this track is just so heavily religious without being too implicit is beautiful. You don’t have to be Christian to like it either; the chorus is again very strong.

Track #11: Dust Bowl Dance – Unlike the other songs, this one kicks off with a soft piano, which is a lovely contrast which runs through the entire track. Of course, the banjo is still in tact. I’d say it’s actually the signature instrument of this band that really makes them stand out from other current indie bands in the UK.

Track #12: After The Storm – A beautiful song to end the album. Not the best of the bunch, but it’s pretty to listen to anyway.
