Well so we are on the letter S on this A to Z Challenge, we are really getting towards the end now. I'm not going to miss it lol. Sticking to a theme was hard, I started to find it boring after awhile, I think going random would of been a lot more fun, could of covered many topics :) Even though I love films and TV shows, I still would of gone random, maybe next time if I do it, next year, I'll go random. So my film today is Sin City. This was a really impressive film, IMHO, I liked the fact it still had the comic book feel to the film. Really loved this one. I had bought the film, but left my film collection in England, and my roommate at the time gave away all my films, yeah I know sad hey? I was pretty upset about that as well, as I had a really super great collection. Anyway so what's this film about you ask? Four tales of crime Continue Reading
R is for Rise of the Planet of the Apes #AtoZChallenge
I have been waiting to finally see a film about the Planet of the Apes, and finally one came out. I was very excited to see it, as were I'm sure thousands of people. I have to admit, I was a little disappointed, there was not as much interaction with the Apes as I had liked, but I had to keep reminding myself that this was how it all began, from the moment the ape was born, so even so, I was still excited, and happy to see it. I have made it part of my DVD collection! If you don't know what this film is about, here is the quick storyline. At the story's heart is Caesar (Andy Serkis), a chimpanzee who gains human-like intelligence and emotions from an experimental drug. Raised like a child by the drug's creator, Will Rodman (James Franco) and a primatologist Caroline Aranha (Freida Pinto), Caesar ultimately finds himself taken from the Continue Reading
Q is for Quarantine (2008) #AtoZChallenge
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
