The Host.

I don't want to hear it.

Ah yes, from the writer of Twilight comes a story about one of the last genres that have remained untouched by love stories.

Spoilers ahead...

Ever wanted to watch an alien invasion movie where the parasite invades human hosts and takes over their lives? Look no further. Sounds like an interesting premise right? Yeah I also thought so until you find out that the parasite falls in love with the host's boyfriend and tracks down him along with the last pocket of human resistance.

The entire movie is basically about the main character having arguments with the parasite that infested her and lots of petty romantic quarrels. Directing is not good, which is why the movie has horrible scores from various critics and there were not many moments where I thought that the acting was impressive.

Now comes the moment that I acknowledge that this movie just isn't for me or males in general. It is too soft of an alien invasion movie for us and for me it felt like the main thing being invaded was the alien movie genre by the love story genre.

Several females I know enjoyed it though. So it either isn't that bad to women or the women I know just have horrible taste in movies.

Poor Zathras. Zathras have very sad life. Probably have very sad death. But at least there is symmetry...

I watched Miss Congeniality last night too! Though it was via Netflix. I am going to the video store today to look for the Speed movies.

Game of Thrones is awesome. What makes it great is that the writer is not afraid to kill off characters in very unexpected ways or at unexpected times. I haven't read the books so I never know what to expect. Sometimes the show angers me because they tend to kill off characters without warning but there are so many plots and sub plots going on that the show is always entertaining.

I'm personally watching House at the moment. I love this show despite some somewhat repetitive elements across several seasons it still manages to be a very fun show with interesting characters.

I will it now. I will watch it now in about 13 years. I need to be consistent with these things; Firefly is also an excellent TV show and I watched it 13 years after it was released despite the fact that I spent a great deal of that time on the internet which is, of course, still in love with Firefly. So, for the sake of fairness and consistency, I will have to wait 13 years to watch GoT.

Also, I'm a really lazy TV watcher and get bored and distracted by TV shows and movies very easily, so I'd completely lack the patience to sit through all ten jillionty five seasons of the show that are going to be coming out.

*Looks up at post all expectantly...but then shakes head and smiles*...Oooh, not the one...Tut-tut-tut...Noooo...Not the one...

Taken 2...With Liam Neeson in it...

Never seen the first one...But the second one was fun enough...Istanbul is a very pretty location...As is Maggie Grace... wink.gif ... tongue.gif ...

Ralph Fiennes' adaptation of Corialanus. If you ever hear someone complain about Shakespeare being boring, on my behalf I implore to punch them in the face and then sit them down in front of this film. Absolutely bloody amazing adaptation of one of Shakespeare's best plays.

I’m finally watching Doctor Who (the ones starting in 2005). Loved the first season. Captain Jack was instantly awesome. I guess that means I should also finally watch Torchwood. Cancel the last of the sleep. smile.gif

I loved Captain Jack and Torchwood. It was a different kind of science fiction show. There wasn't a fist-fight every show. The good guys do not always win. It has a very different feel to shows like Star Trek, Farscape, the Galacticas, etc... Since you are watching Doc Who (yaay! - Lots of places have a North!) you have an idea of what to expect. Remember the Dalek episode from the first Season of the new Dr. Who? That's what every Torchwood episode is like. But where Dr. Who is a pre-Watershed show made with children in mind, Torchwood was a post-Watershed show. So its a lot darker and is definitely not for kids.

I do recommend you just skip the final two seasons of Torchwood though - Children of Earth and Miracle Day. They left a bad taste in many fan's mouths, including mine. McB hates Captain Jack now because of Children of Earth. Where I just blame it on the writers, not the character/John Barrowman.

I agree with all of the above...

Except...

I do not hate Barrowman... biggrin.gif ...He's proper brilliant...

He's also Scottish, and has a proper Scottish accent and everything...Apparently... biggrin.gif ...

I absolutely blame the writers for the mess that was Children of Earth...And, having read Russell T. Davies' book - The Writer's Tale...I kinda felt a bit sorry for him, he seemed to get himself a bit bullied into the choices he made...

But, personally speaking, as much as I loved Captain Jack (he's a character in the show...Not Barrowman... biggrin.gif ...) up to that point...Both in Docky Who and the Torchwood series...The choice he made at the end of CoE was completely and absolutely out of character from what he'd done in earlier episodes...

And that made what the Doctor did, some time later...Absolutely wrong on so many levels...

There are too many uses of the word Absolutely in the above...I apologies absolutely...

Torchwood was excellent!!...

Doctor Who is...Wait for it...Fantastic!...

Warm Bodies was one of the best retellings of Romeo and Juliet to date. Also it was hilarious. And zombies made it even better.
Kiln
Warm Bodies was surprisingly fun as long as you take it for what it is. The movie is a comedy at heart that doesn't take itself too seriously. It was alright overall and actually ended up being enjoyable.

I still think the best way to dispose of zombies is to shoot for the head however and not to make them love so that they can be human again.

Pitch Perfect is something I love, my husband loves, AND Snuggles loves. Every time Fat Amy comes on screen, my son goes "Hiiiiiii pretty!" XD

Eh, hate to sound off the old cliche, but the comic is better. Much better; more intelligent, more morally ambiguous, has some really interesting minor characters and has a much more developed Norsefire. The movie was just kinda 'eh'.

We're doing the Iron Mans...Iron Men?...Iron Manners?...

*Sigh*...

We just watched the first Iron Man...Absolutely loved it!!...I'd forgotten how much I'd enjoyed it at the time it came out...Not sure I've seen it since to be honest....

We're doing the second one tomorrow...

Then probably Avengers and III next weekend...Much enjoyable!!!...

Kubrick worked on it for longer than Spielberg did, but backed off it because he didn't think it would fly. He sold it to Spielberg, who stayed very close to Kubrick's work on it. Spielberg dedicated the film to the late Kubrick.
