2012 The Year in Review Part 4: Top 5 most attractive new female characters on TV
Okay, it is mid February and way past time to be done with 2012. Excuse my laziness and apathy. Healing from a broken hip is a real pain, and distracting, I'm sorry I have neglected you all. Today's blog is fun category I made up for this year just because I found some very interesting new women in the latest TV season, so I thought you might enjoy this.
5.) Janie on Go On played by Christine Woods. This is a very interresting character. It is the ghost of Matthew Perry's wife. She turns up to from time to time to help him along in his recovery from the grief of losing her. The first time she appears she is wearing one of his old shirts....great scene.
4.) Juliette Barnes on Nashville played by Hayden Panettiere. This character is a bitch to say the least. But is very cute. Great to have Hayden back after a few years. She is no longer the cheerleader you fell in love with on Heroes. All the other women in this countdown are attractive as characters as well as attractive looking. This entry, I admit has nothing to do with the character, and is purely based on looks...sorry.
3.) Marley Rose on GLEE played by Melissa Benoist. The new girl on GLEE this season (the NICE new girl). She is the daughter of the obese cafeteria worker, and struggles with her self image. She is sweet as can be, and did I mention...of course...she can sing!!
2.) Clara/Oswin on Doctor Who played by Jenna-Louise Colemen. Clara has some big shoes to fill, replacing Amy Pond as The Doctor's latest companion. So far we have seen her in two very different characterizations in two episodes...and she died in both. In this scene from The Snowmen episode, I think we can see she will be a great addition to the show.
1.) Charlie Matheson on Revolution played by Tracy Spiridakos. Trying to survive in a world that has lost all power, this girl kicks but, and will do what it takes to save her family. And she looks good doing it. A strong and attractive character.
Well, that concludes my long overdue 2012 in review section of my blog. Hope you enjoyed it.

2012 The Year in Review: Part 3--Top 5 Movies of 2012
Sorry for the long lapse in posting. A broken hip and Hospital rehab stay will do that to a blog. So, as the Oscars approach I want to take a look at the top 5 movies of the year. I think you will find this an interesting mix.
5.) The Odd Life of Timothy Green-- This is a family oriented Disney film. To be honest, I only went to see it because Jennifer Garner is in it. But I was so surprised by how moving it was, It actually made me cry. It is an important lesson in a) accepting what life gives you, and b) accepting people the way they are, Kids will like it, but adults should see it too.
4.) The Hobbit-- I knew this movie would be in my top 5, but actually expected it to be higher on the list. It is a great film, as are the original LOTR trilogy. I just felt that Jackson brought in too much extra back story that was not part of the original book. Part of the greatness of the Hobbit is the ability to draw you into Middle Earth without quite so much of the darkness of LOTR. But in order to get three movies out of it, Jackson has added too mucch. Great movie, but too much.
3.) Silver Linings Playbook-- This movie is an Oscar Favorite, and deservedly so. I must say, as I was watching it, I kept telling myself I didn't like it much. At the same time I kept saying to myself how good the acting was. I'm still not sure I like all of the storyline, but by the end of the movie I so wanted a happy ending for Cooper and Lawrence's Characters. I really think this movie could sweep the Acting categories this year. Love this dance scene.
2.) Blue Like Jazz-- This amazing little independent movie is something you really need to see. The story of a Texas raised Christian boy who becomes disillusioned with the faith he was raised on, and goes in search of meaning in his life. This is a film that almost wasn't made, until a kickstarter project saved it.
1.) The Hunger Games-- Huge teen megahit. Although I usually don't include such trendy films on my top 5, I had to put this movie at #1 because, my lord, it amazed me. I was moved to tears several times during this show, It was amazingly good story telling, great acting, and really well made.
So there's my top five, hope you like them.
