Buzzjack's Ultimate TV Show 2015 - International TV
Not sure I agree that MF should be included in this. If other reality type shows are excluded, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Also, agree there should be a minimum number of episodes aired rule. Choosing Scream after 3(!!) episodes as an ultimate TV show, amongst the hundreds and hundreds of other options, seems crazy.

"I Am" • Second UK Single
I Am is great. Way better than Thunder, but it'll never be a hit unfortunately.

That was straight to video though wasn't it? So, no box office takings to put it in any chart.

Round 1: Least Favourite Harry Potter Movie
Oh my god. Prisoner might be my favourite, apart from Deathly Hallows 2. It's beautifully shot, dark and really sets the tone for the rest of the movies. If I'm not mistaken, it's also the best reviewed movie of them all (maybe apart from the last one). I watched it again not long ago, after not having seen it for a couple of years, and it was even better than I remembered. Gorgeous movie.

I can't even comprehend The Return of the King possibly going out first. What???

Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice
I'm impressed. It looks great.

Round 1: Least Favourite Harry Potter Movie
Chamber Of Secrets for me. How 3-6 could have any votes so far is beyond me.

"Thunder" • US Single
I don't like Thunder. It's really far too bland to be a single at all, let alone the lead single in the US! I really don't understand some of the decisions they're making. Almost everything we've heard so far is stronger than this.

Favourite of the 100 Highest-Grossing Movies / Part 2
Titanic for me. It was a huge achievement but it's not a movie I would watch multiple times anymore. I just don't think there's anything left in it for me to get. Everything else that's left is just fantastic.

"Thunder" • US Single
The vocals are obviously fantastic but I can't help but feel a little underwhelmed by those snippets. It all sounds a bit mid-tempo and bland to me. After Fire, I was hoping for a lot more punch. I Got You and Another Love Song sound great so it would have been good to get snippets of them. I don't know, I'll reserve judgement for now and keep my fingers crossed for something special.

Orange is the New Black • Season 7
I'm watching the finale tonight but this has been a strange season for me. No real story to carry through, because I'm certainly not counting the Praise Norma story which was at least 6 episodes too long. Pennsatucky has been fantastic this season and Suzanne's turn at porn stories had me laughing. That was filthy! Apart from that, I've not been really hooked on anything else. I still can't stand Alex though. Don't know what it is, I just detest her. Piper is an idiot too. The supporting cast in this show is so good that they get away with having such an unlikeable lead character, which is very unusual.

Wentworth Prison (UK Pace)
Season 3 is the best. It just gets better. Honestly, it felt like every episode had some form of cliffhanger and you could tell it was building to a blinding finale. It didn't disappoint one bit. It was absolutely thrilling and very emotional.
-
Bates Motel
I found season 3 to be a bit of a slog to be honest. Vera is still by far the best thing about this (although Freddie plays a blinder too) but I just struggled to get through some of it. If it didn't have such stunning lead performances from those two, I'd have given up about halfway through I think.
-
Wentworth Prison (UK Pace)
Well I'm bumping this because I just finished season 3. Granted that's not UK pace, so I won't spoil, but good god!! This is one of the best shows on tv. It's absolutely superb. What a finale! Is anyone still watching?

"Fire Under My Feet" • First Single
The only thing I'm a bit confused about is why they've filmed a video for what they want you to believe is a live studio sessions, but yet it has Leona's original vocal on it. There's no live vocal on it at all.
-
"Fire Under My Feet" • First Single
Jesus that version is incredible! The extra instruments, the epic harmonies on the big FIRE notes - it's so much better!! It adds that oomph the original studio version is missing. It's amazing!

Jurassic World
Well holy hooker. A $204 million opening weekend in the U.S. and well over $500 million worldwide. Instant record breaker on the worldwide market and 2nd to the Avengers in the U.S. by only $3 million. Don't think anyone saw that coming. This could well end up the 3rd biggest movie ever.
-
PREDICTA: 'Jurassic World'
If the $70+ million figure for Friday is accurate, and we'll find out within the next couple of hours, this is definitely opening upwards of $155 million. To compare, Furious 7 made $67 million on Friday and $147.2 million overall, so it should have a fairly similar trajectory to that. It may even be higher, as it might have a better Friday-Saturday hold than Furious 7 did. That's astonishing. I thought it would do well, but not that well. To me, the trailers just look like they've thrown literally everything they could think of at this movie, and I feel like I've seen the whole thing already. Clearly I'm in the minority though! EDIT: Ok wow. $82.8 million opening day. 3rd best of all time. It's now tracking for between $180-$195 million. Amazing.

'I Am' • Fifth Album
Very bland and boring. Sounds like something that was leftover from the Echo sessions. The lyrics are so cliche. I'm really concerned something this dull made the album.

"Fire Under My Feet" • First Single
No doubt about it. It's number 39 on iTunes at the moment but dropping hard. It really doesn't deserve that, it's such a shame.
-
"Fire Under My Feet" • First Single
Without a miracle, it's sadly impossible. She'll be out of the top 40 on iTunes by tonight. Predicting around 50 on Sunday's chart.
