You probably saw the TV show of the Exorcist and you probably wonder where’s Linda Blair and Ellen Burstyn, this is not the movie from the 1973 directed by William Friedkin. It was one of the best horror film that scared the movie audience off the feet and the next day the churches were fill with people to be blessed by the lord to protect themselves from evil.

It started out slow, but it did pick up very fast. The silence and the slowness made the show intense and scary to watch. The cinema photographer of the show reminds us of the first movie of the Exorcist, beautiful shot and scary, the mood and lighting and the ionic music of the Exorcist, makes us tingle with fright!

It’s a different take on the Exorcist but set in the present time and where there is evil in the world today. Not just in the United States, but other parts of the world. Italy, Rio and Kolkata, India are the most common for demonic possession, if you don’t believe it look it up. If you are fan of paranormal witness on the syfy network. You can hear first-hand account of real terror from real witness, including demonic possession. It’s out there.

It is not like the Conjuring 2 Enfield Poltergeist, in which the movie was scary to watch and I did hear some scary creepy sound in my house one afternoon. I heard footsteps in the house when I was alone. My dad was resting in another room, the whole afternoon, it wasn’t him. Who was in my house while my dad was resting? One time watching the movie is enough for me.

Then my TV came on by itself and it was playing “Jessie” on the Disney Channel, my favorite show.  It knew what I like to watch, that’s creepy. So I watched it.

It’s creepy and scary, and nothing will jump at you. But very intense.

Who Killed Jon Benet Ramsey?

sillykhan Celebrities Stories, Crime, Uncategorized , , , ,

burke-ramsey

After a serious of hard and soft questions, Dr. Phill interview Burke Ramsey, Burke Ramsey is the brother of Jon Bennet Ramsey who died in December 1996. Speculations were around the family who was closed to her.

The Boulder Police spent countless of hours interviewing the whole family and every time they ask the family, they would get the same answered: They did not do it.

jon-benett-2

Who would have killed Jon Bennet? She was six years old when she was murdered and the possibility answered who was in the house when it happened?

The killer would have dropped the ransom note on the stairs. Carry the girl who was knocked out by the stun gun.  Dropped her on the way down in the dark basement. She probably gained conscious. Then the killer would have then wrapped the cord around the neck to strangle her to death.  (that’s my theory, I am not the killer. I am just reporting the facts and put it in a logical way, the best I can. I should have a been a crime writer, but this will do.)

And left by using the backdoor of the basement. It was a snowy night, when the killer escaped, and the snow covered the foot prints.

How did the father know to look in the basement? He couldn’t find his daughter all over the house and decided to try the basement?

Patsy Ramsey found a two-and-a-half page ransom note demanding $118,000 on the stairs. Got nervous and don’t know what to do. So she went to Burke’s bed room to explained what happened to Burke’s sister. She was killed.

And why did they have lots of people in the house when it happened? Could one of them be the murder? It’s like the game of Clue. That’s the mystery!

Doing the Q and A with Dr. Phil, it looked Burke Ramsey did not know what was going on. He was 9 back then. Can he do it? Only a smart intelligent person would have killed her and have the strength to strangle her? Remember there were no prints. Was there someone else in the house besides them?  And stayed in the house till morning and got out when they had people in the house? (My crazy theories).

Now the FBI is trying to accuse Burke of killing his sister. In other words, they wanted a confession from him, by pressuring him to say something, that he killed his sister. Why put an innocent person in jail for the crime he did not commit? It is and still is an unsolved case over 20 years ago.  Only Jon Benet knows who killed her.

The Emmys: O. J. Simpson did it

As you may know last weekend, it was the 68th Emmys started great with the host Jimmy Kimmel he kick things off with a montage that goofed on O.J. Simpson, “Veep,” Jeb Bush and Wham!, before he arrived onstage and acknowledged the night’s big favorites, “Game of Thrones” and “The People v. O.J. Simpson.” “If your show doesn’t have a dragon or a white Bronco, go home now,” he said.

Here are the highlights what happened:

Maggie Smith won the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series Emmy tonight. This is the third time Smith has taken the statue for Downton Abbey, and the fifth time she was nominated for what has become an iconic role. This makes it four Emmys overall for the two-time Oscar winner.

Emmy host Jimmy Kimmel took great pains to point out early in the show, however, that this was Smith’s ninth nomination and the ninth time she is not at the ceremony. Calling her “Downton absent,” he wondered, “What is wrong with us? Why do we keep nominating this woman?” He didn’t let up, ribbing, “Lame Maggie Smith, if you want an Emmy, you better hop on a plane right now and get your Dowager Count-ass over here.” When Smith ultimately did win, Kimmel stepped in, grabbed the trophy and said, “If you want this, it will be in the lost and found.” The next day, she claimed her award.

Game of Thrones got 38 Emmys wins which won for Best Writing, Best Directing and Best Drama on Sunday night, first tying Frasier with 37 wins then taking the title with a total of 38. The series won 12 Emmys in total this year. It includes for Best Visual and Best Stunts during the creative arts awards that was broad cast Saturday before the Emmys.

Game of Thrones” and “Veep” repeated as best drama and comedy at the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards. The twin triumphs had been widely predicted, but other winners were more surprising. Tatiana Maslany, the star of the cult favorite “Orphan Black,” on BBC, was named best actress in a drama. She played multiple characters, on the show she is one incredible actress. These are the characters that she played Sarah Manning / Elizabeth Childs / Alison Hendrix / Cosima Niehaus / Helena / Rachel Duncan / Tony Sawicki / Jennifer Fitzsimmons / Katja Obinger / Pupok (Scorpion, voice) / Krystal Goderitch / Veera Suominen (MK). Incredible actress.

Rami Malek won best actor in a drama for “Mr. Robot,” another highly regarded but scantly watched series – one character, I think.

The comedy acting wins were more predictable. Julia Louis-Dreyfus was named best actress in a comedy, for “Veep,” for the fifth time in a row. In her speech she both mocked Donald J. Trump and honored her father, Gérard Louis-Dreyfus, who died Friday before the Emmys.

Jeffrey Tambor won for the second consecutive year for “Transparent.” He waved off the play-off music to urge Hollywood to give more opportunities to transgender actors. “I would not be unhappy were I the last male to play a female transgender on television,” he said. “We have work to do.”

The night’s other big winner was “The People v. O.J. Simpson,” claiming the award for best limited series, in a crowded category. John Travolta produced it and also won awards for lead actress (Sarah Paulson) and actor (Courtney B. Vance), supporting actor (Sterling K. Brown) and writing (D.V. DeVincentis).

“Last Week Tonight With John Oliver” won best variety talk show, a category that has been dominated for years. Matt Damon humiliated Jimmy Kimmel asking him who won while eating an apple.

Additional surprises came in the comedy supporting acting category. Louis Anderson won for “Baskets,” in which he played a version of his mother, if you haven’t seen it, it’s on FX.  Kate McKinnon won for her performance on “Saturday Night Live.” In her acceptance speech, Ms. McKinnon thanked her cast and crew.

grace-v-3

What many people are saying, she’s too young to win America’s Got Talent and how will she head line at Las Vegas shows?

If people could slow down and think for a while, first, it’s the parent’s decision for the child.

If Jackie Evancho could do it, so can she. Jackie was 2nd-place finish in the fifth season of America’s Got Talent in 2010. She will have tutors on the set all the time, and voice coaches too to make her perform better on stage. Jackie Evancho had voice coaches when she had to perform on stage, everybody does need a little training to perfect their skills.

If people think the show was rigged, like they kept saying. It was rigged – people voted for her. Who? Her friends and family! Did you vote?  Maybe and probably they don’t care.

With determination and working hard at your skills it does pay off.  Anybody can win!

They had other great acts and they will become successful in the world of entertainment.
