I have been a long time fan of the Underworld films, and I can't wait to see Underworld: Awakening, this is my choice for the A to Z Challenge for today. There were a lot of other good films, but since I really love these type of films, this was my choice. Kate Beckinsale is such an amazing actress, I love her in these films (I know she didn't make an appearance in Underworld: Rise of the Lycans), I've seen her in a few others films, but I think the role of Selene, was made for her, don't you think? Well I do, she did amazing in all the films. So if you haven't seen the first 3 then you must go check them out! These are part of my DVD collection, and once Underworld: Awakening comes out on DVD which is in May 2012, it will be part of my collection as well! Mankind discover the existence of the Vampire and Lycan species and they begin Continue Reading
T for The Hunger Games #AtoZChallenge
Wow I can't believe we are on the T for the A to Z Challenge!!! It's getting close to ending soon, wow this month has truly flown by so quickly. I am looking forward to a lovely spring and wonderful summer, especially going to the Drive In, yeah an actual drive in, do you still go to those, I just recently discovered actual drive-ins over here in Massachusetts, so it's a real treat. When I lived in California, we (our family) used to go to the drive-in every Friday growing up, it was such a treat I tell you. Well speaking of drive-ins and movies, today's film is The Hunger Games, now I haven't seen it yet, I have the book and still haven't read it, shame on me lol. But I really need to get on the ball and read it, as it's not a very long book, I'm excited to read it first. Ok so moving on, what is this film about? In a dystopian Continue Reading
S is for Sin City #AtoZChallenge
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
