List
Movies (in theaters)
- Seen:
- Avatar -- hmm...good
movie, not sure it was worth the post-3D migraine, however...
- Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
-- first still the best
- Terminator
Salvation -- very entertaining
- G.I. Joe: The Rise of
Cobra -- eh, not that great
- Transformers 2: Revenge
of the Fallen -- hmm...okay, now I understand the bad reviews...not
really a great deal of actual story and very little emotional impact, unlike
the first one; this was mostly just robots beating up on each other and
too many bad-taste/juvenile-humor moments with a very few scenes that were
actually good...the curse of sequels...~sigh~
- Star Trek -- loved
it, alternate reality and all
- X-Men Origins: Wolverine
-- pretty good if a bit uneven, which, actually, I kinda expected...
- Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
-- pretty good
- Journey to the Center of
the Earth -- good for a kid flick
- The Mummy 3: Tomb of
the Dragon Emperor -- eh..okay, not great, the first two were *much*
better, and I miss the original *real* Evie
- The Dark Knight
-- Loved it.
- Indiana Jones and the Kingdom
of the Crystal Skull -- while I enjoyed the action and seeing
Indy again, the resolution of the skull was...goofy
- Waiting to (possibly) see:
- Alice
in Wonderland (March 5, 2010) ... tempting
- Clash of the Titans (March 26, 2010) ... tempting
- The A-Team (June 11, 2010) ... depends if it's serious or a
parody and what the rating is
- Twilight: Eclipse (June 30, 2010)
- The Last Airbender
(July 2, 2010)
- The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (December
10, 2010) ... probably
- Tron Legacy
(December 17, 2010) ... probably
- Spider-Man 4 (May 5, 2011)
- Transformers 3 (July 1, 2011)
- Star Trek sequel
Music
- I must confess...I'm a soundtrack junkie. If there's a series
or movie out there that I love and has good music, then I probably own
the soundtrack. And by soundtrack, I mean the incidental music, not the
"soundtrack of pop vocal music inspired by the movie and/or series."
I want the good stuff...the composed orchestral wonderful soaring music.
- On occasion, I have purchased vocal soundtracks:
- New Age
Watching:
- Anything on the History Channel or Discovery that happens to be Egyptology-related,
which just fascinates me.
- I'm a scifi/fantasy fan, so if it's scifi and/or fantasy, it'll
most likely get my attention. Add great writing, likeable complex characters,
and angst to that, and well, I'm hooked.
- Current series: Doctor Who, Flash Forward, Heroes,
Stargate Universe
- Past series: Angel, Babylon 5, Buffy,
The Dresden Files, Farscape, Firefly, Jericho,
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Enterprise,
Stargate: SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis
- A few non-scifi series have caught my interest as well: Castle
and NCIS are the current favorites.
- I also have an affinity for various cartoons, most of which
(though not all) are aimed more toward an adult/late teen audience,
such as
- Avatar, the Last Airbender, Code Lyoko, Danny Phantom, Justice
League/Justice League Unlimited, Teen Titans, and
The Batman
- Of course, watching series set in the DCAU has added another "shipper"
couple to my list: Batman/Wonder Woman.
- And Avatar added Zuko/Katara, one of the few "no real on-screen
evidence to support (and I don't care)" couples that I adore.
- And my old favorites from the 80s/90s: Zorro, Beauty &
the Beast, Scarecrow & Mrs. King, and The Sentinel.
Good stuff.
