Why I love everything 16 and Pregnant related

So, generally I steer away from MTV but I just can't get enough of 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom. I started watching 16 and Pregnant this summer when I got really sick and it was on demand and I've been hooked ever since.

In my mind, it is trashy enough to be entertaining reality television but I also feel like it has just enough value to justify watching.

MTV is generally devoid of any value whoever I think it is commendable to give a realistic look at teen pregnancy and parenting. Obviously it is a show primarily made for entertainment value but I also think it could possibly discourage teenagers from having babies.

I also find the presentation of the different girls, their families and the fathers commendable. I don't get the feeling that their specifically editing to make people look better or worse. That's sort of impossible to know for sure though and there's an obvious exception with Farrah's mother on Teen Mom. She was recently arrested for abusing Farrah although there was one incident where she hit Farrah on the show and they argue on fairly continuous basis.

I appreciate the way the fathers are presented in the show. They're not necessarily villianized and the struggles they face are show in a fairly diplomatic way.

Rob Zombie's Halloween: A review

So I finally saw the Rob Zombie version of Halloween. It wasn't great but it was a waste of time. I thought is was about the same quality as the original which I didn't particularly love. However, I feel the need to rewatch it as it has been a while and I saw it before I really got into horror movies.

I really liked the way they went into Michael Meyer's past a little bit although it dragged on a bit longer than it should of. I may have liked this so much because I have a particular fear of child killers.

I though the guy who played Michael's therapist played by Malcolm McDowell was definitely the stand out performance of the movie.

I did not, however, like the main girl played by Scout Taylor-Compton. Admittedly though, it is hard to live up to classic scream qqueen, Jamie Lee Curtis. Like most other horror movies ever made, they went for looks rather than acting ability.

Overall, the first half of the movie which addresses Michael's history was pretty good but the second half of the move was a little lacking. In the end, this was worth watching because I really love the horror genre but if you don't have a particular interest in scary movies than it is probably not worth watching.
