Sam and Dean's Trip of Epic Proportions in Supernatural Season 2

Sam and Dean Winchester are having to face metaphoric demons on their cross country trip to avenge their mother’s death. In Supernatural Season 2.

While I wish I had some grand story of a cross country trip of epic proportions. Yet, Other than a 3 hour delay sitting on the runway of O’Hara, some lost luggage and awful airline food my trips have been pretty uneventful. However I do look back fondly on the past days of my youth. When a group of my girlfriends and I would pack into one of our cars. Head to the beach, the sun of eastern Oregon or to visit our then boyfriends who were in the US Coast Guard stationed in Seattle. Armed with just a change of clothes, enough money for gas and greasy burgers at a road side cafe and we were off.  Music blasting, windows rolled down, hair in the wind with no cares in the world.

While those days are gone, I was able to go on a recent road trip with my best friend Liz who was visiting from Melbourne, Australia. I wanted to show her my part of the Ocean that separated our homes. We decided on Cannon Beach here in Oregon. A beautiful tranquil beach which is the backdrop for several films. It was a beautiful sunny November autumn day when we set off our girls in tow.

While we were enjoying re-enacting some scenes of a recent film on Indian Beach, Climbing on the rocks, enjoying the majestic view. A storm front had moved in on the mountain pass. The same road which carried us to our destination. The sun beaming through the trees had now been replaced a mere 6 hours later with a sheet of ice. With no snow tires, no chains on my compact car. Just me at the wheel and my precious cargo that had just come from 100 degree weather in Australia. Yes I was unprepared but at my defense, this was Oregon after all not Maine. We were lucky to get snow in the middle of winter. Even then it did not fall in our area of the country until January and certainly never in November.

As we crawled at 30 miles per hour in a 55 mile zone we could see other vehicles that had slid off the narrow, dark, winding road. My girlfriend reminding me not to look, to breathe and with her reassurance we dredged on.  Every slight movement of the steering wheel meant sliding a foot in either direction. It gave white knuckle driving a whole new meaning. With no access to a hotel, cell phone reception inexistent we were praying to every deity known to man past and present. What should have been a 90 minute trip turned into over 3 hours. There is no describing how it felt to make it over that mountain pass and see the lights of  Portland’s western suburbs.

While the obstacles we faced that day were not terrifying as the monsters Sam and Dean had to face on their cross country journey. Nor did we have to face metaphoric demons. I do know that some times you must face your fears and keep on going for the greater good.
Here is a breathtaking video made by another Supernatural fan with Highlights of season 2.

Exciting Week for WB! Starting with Supernatural Season 2

The Warner Bros. headquarters must be buzzing with excitement this week. With the release of Supernatural season 2 on Blu- Ray finally being released, to the delight of awaiting fans. In season 2 Sam ( Jared Padadlecki) and Dean ( Jensen Ackles) use their father's journal to track down the demon Azazel who was responsible for their mother's death. Attempting to discover what plans the demon carries for Sam and others with psychic abilities. While continuing their father's work of saving people from Supernatural beings. Sam and Dean remind me of my own children, so different yet ever so protective of one another. I have always told them that friends will come and go but family is forever. They may argue at times being teens with opposite personalities, However like Sam and Dean, I am sure that my daughter and son will continue to have one another's backs. Hopefully not while battling demons. While again “I have been hired by Warner Bros.WBWord division to promote Supernatural: The Complete Second Season on Blu-ray." I truly recommend this to current fans and those of you who are catching up on the series on TNT.

Another WB DVD was released to great excitement. Red Riding Hood. Starring Amanda Seyfried, Shiloh Fernandez, Max Irons and the brilliant Gary Oldman. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke. It starts off with a typical love triangle between the beautiful girl, the man who is good for her and the man she truly loves. Valerie (Seyfried) who has been arranged to marry the wealth Henry (Irons), plans to run away with her true love Peter (Fernandez). Only to have their plans forced to be on hold after her older sister was killed by the werewolf who lives in forest that surrounds the local village. The villagers bring in Father Soloman ( Oldman) to kill the wolf. His arrival brings the reality that the werewolf who is human by day could be any one of them. Valerie begins to think that the beast may be someone she knows, perhaps loves. As the deaths rise, her connection to the werewolf  makes her both a pawn and a suspect. Red Riding Hood is available on DVD and Blu-Ray now.

Opening this at this moment, Is The Green Lantern starring Ryan Reynolds. Taken from thre page of comic books. It tells the tale of  Hal Jordan a test pilot who has been selected by a band of warriors dedicated to keep the balance of intergalactic order. Despite the order never recruiting a human before. Together with this new brotherhood, his Childhood sweetheart  played by Blake Lively. He must master his powers, find the courage to help them defeat their biggest threat Parallax and restore peace and order to Earth and the Universe.

Finally there was the Buzz of the newest and last Deathly Hallows II trailer released today which much excitement with a fear cheers and tears mixed in. Twitter was all a buzz with this latest teaser. I must admit I was one of them. This just one day after JK Rowling had us trying to find letter clues on secret street view.  Spelling out her latest project. While many were hoping for More Potter. It was revealed that it was to read Pottermore. While we are all guessing at what it could be. My guess is a computer game, a charity or a social site.   We have a little over six days to wait. Until then I have http://www.pottermore.com/ bookmarked. I was the 248th follower of Pottermore on Twitter. Even though I am not sure what it is as of yet. If it has anything to do with Harry Potter I am sure that I will love it! I will keep you posted! Until then here is that last DH2 Trailer. It is absolutely Brilliant, Breathtaking and Amazing!

MTV Movie Awards - This MTV Generation Girl's Life Has Come Full Circle.

It does not seem that long ago when that "Radio Killed the Video Star" came on our television. Signaling the start of a new station MTV. Those of us that were teens during that time, Are now called the MTV generation. Many of us now have teens of our own. We have the task explaining that MTV use to play music videos not reality shows. They were responsible for many of the fads of the 80's. Madonna's black lace, Cyndi Lauper's bright hair and makeup along with Michael Jackson's glove and red leather jacket from Thriller. Big hair, Day- Glo and sadly parachute pants were styles that came right out of the television and into the halls of our schools. Much to our parents dismay.

As I was watching the MTV Movie Awards with my own teens, I realized that our generation probably has the smallest generation gap in history. Not only do I enjoy many of the same films that my kids do, We listen to much of the same music. My daughter loves Cher,Elton John and cried when Michael Jackson died. While I listen to Pink, Green Day and been known to dance to Lady Gaga on occasion.

Watching the MTV Movie Awards had some red faced moments for my son. He endured the sex jokes while anticipating the trailers for upcoming summer blockbusters. He is not remotely interested in Team Edward nor Team Jacob. For vampires should never sparkle in his opinion. Rob Pattinson will forever be Cedric Diggory while Taylor Lautner remains Shark Boy. Sorry Taylor!
Yet, We endured the screaming Twilight fans for those summer previews. Green Hornet, Super 8, Transformers Dark of the Moon look promising. However the biggest movie of the summer and the year is definitely Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part II.

Twilight can keep all their popcorn awards. While the tweens and teens that support that franchise move on to bigger and much better things. We all know that the Harry Potter audience will continue to pass their love for this series on to their own kids, entertaining generations. Just like their parents enjoyed the series along side them. For me personally, I waited to watch the films and read the books until my son could enjoy them with me. We jumped on the broom, riding this amazing Harry Potter adventure together. You can say that Harry Potter inspired kids to read, It also inspired parents to read the same books as their kids, giving us the opportunity to have discussions while sharing our passion for the wizarding world.  JK Rowling brought to our lives a  renewed imagination. While Warner Bros. took her words and brought Hogwarts to life through an amazing talented cast. While we finished the books years ago. Seeing this last film together, signals the end of much of my son's childhood. Tears will flow for many reasons.

Watching the ever so classy Emma Watson walk on the stage to introduce the exclusive DH2 Trailer. My daughter remarked how fast time has passed. That it seemed such a short time since that little girl appeared as Hermoine in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. As I looked over at my daughter who is now 18 and very much grown herself. I could only reply, I know what you mean sweetie, I know what you mean.
