early night tonight :)

had me tea and I'm on earlies this week so it's time for some zzzz's once I write down my great movie idea onto some note paper :)

The Blair Witch Moon Landing

Apollo 18 is great, it forgoes unnecessary CGI in exchange for physical and emotional intensity and drama, I'd take quality of acting over flashy visual effects any day, luckily most of my fave  telly shows and films combine both.  It's a brave attempt at film making, and one that's rewarding, keeping the scares back for the last half hour of the film allows the viewer to get to know the characters, to feel a bond and a connection to and with them, so when things really go wrong we feel scared for them and want them to get out of danger.  The ending is implied with the loss of all three astronauts but there's just enough wriggle room in there for a sequel if they want to make one.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest

The conclusion to the trilogy is just as downbeat as the previous 2 installments and yet there's a satisfaction to the completion, that one a journey completed and another one yet to come, alas I doubt we'll ever see that direction that road might go in.

The Girl Who Played With Fire

I didn't think anything could top the bleakness of Dragon Tattoo but PWF is such a dark meat grinder of a bloodbath, I'm not sure that even the 7th Doctor suffered as much in a Kate Orman novel as Lizbeth did in this film!

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Well that was a cheery film ;)  A rather harsh and brutal story really with lots of harshness and brutality all around.

got some new cd's to watch

the Night Watch & Day Watch duo and the new AC/DC concert.

Green Lantern

Well it was ok, not as good as First Flight or Emerald Knights but it sets things up nicely for Sinestro's fall to the power of fear in any sequel made, which I think should be made as there's a lot of potential with this version of Hal, he's had his boot camp, so to speak, now we need to see the brightest light shining in the darkest night...

Thor

not a bad film, very funny at times epecially when they keep running him over.  Saw that the great JMS himself was responsible for the script which explains why the dialogue is so good as he has a genius talent for character interactions and relationships :)

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I loved the musical version when I was a kid and this new up to date version is just as good in its own way :) Plus it has Johnny Depp in it, who is one of the hottest guys on the face of this or any other planet. There's some chocolate and stuff involved to and some singing.
