I can't believe it's getting closer to the end of the A to Z Challenge, I can't say I won't be happy it will be over, only because I have felt like I had to do this, because I did commit, and I try to finish what I start, so on we go! Today is Q, I choose Quarantine it's a remake of Spanish film-maker Jaume Balagueró's [Rec] (2007). Balagueró wrote the original script for [REC], which was then adapted for Quarantine by American film-makers Drew and John Eric Dowdle (also director). I can speak, read and write in Spanish, so I probably could follow along with the film, although I have to say that sometimes, there have been some films that were made in Spanish but subtitled in English that I just couldn't follow, as they spoke way too quick for my brain to catch up. So I try to stick to English speaking films :) So what's this film about Continue Reading

P is for Prometheus #AtoZChallenge
Ok so today, I picked the film Prometheus, even though it hasn't come out yet, it's due out June 8, 2012. I am really excited about this, I just seen a trailer on it, it's intriguing but it's not that trailer I'm going to share with you. This is one of those futuristic films, I just love them, it makes you think, wonder about possibilities. It does for me anyway. And there are so many possibilities, I mean seriously who knows what the future holds for us all. I am a Syfy girl, and this is the kind of films I like. It started as a script for couple of Alien movie prequels, but with writer Damon Lindelof it has changed into something different altogether. So what is this film about? A team of scientists journey through the universe on the spaceship "Prometheus" on a voyage to investigate Alien life forms. The team of scientists becomes Continue Reading
O is for Act of Valor #AtoZChallenge
I have been a long time fan of military/war films, I won't go as far as to say I like them all, but there are a good handful that I do. My AtoZ Challenge letter leads me to one, that is Act of Valor, now I know that Act of Valor does not start with an O but there is an O as the first letter of one of the words in the film lol. So that is what I'm going with, because I couldn't find something I wanted to share that started with an O. I'm lying I can find something, but some were pretty old, and this film popped out to me. I have not had a chance to see this film, but I know it will be a good film. When the rescue of a kidnapped CIA operative leads to the discovery of a deadly terrorist plot against the U.S., a team of SEALs is dispatched on a worldwide manhunt. As the valiant men of Bandito Platoon race to stop a coordinated attack that Continue Reading
N is for No Country for Old Men #AtoZChallenge
I'm posting a little later than usual, but it's because I am still getting over this cold borderline flu, so my letter for today's AtoZ Challenge is N, I choose the film No Country for Old Men. I remember seeing the previews about it, and well being that I am into action films, this was really something I knew I wanted to see. I was not disappointed with this film. Javier Bardem played this role so well, he was so ruthless and cold, when he killed, ok so what's this film about you ask? In rural Texas, welder and hunter Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) discovers the remains of several drug runners who have all killed each other in an exchange gone violently wrong. Rather than report the discovery to the police, Moss decides to simply take the two million dollars present for himself. This puts the psychopathic killer, Anton Chigurh (Javier Continue Reading
M is for Men in Black III #AtoZChallenge
I am a long time fan of Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, and their Men in black films, that you know I have to see Men in black III, I just love these guys, they are never a disappointment, and I am a syfy girl, so it's a must watch for me. If you are not familiar with the films, I suggest watching them in order, it's much more fun to follow the storyline. Obviously this film is about aliens, in comical sense, it's always nice to be taken away from the serious stuff to the funny stuff. These guys do it again in this film as well. What's this about? Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back... in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Continue Reading
