Movies (in theaters/dvd)
- Seen:
- Avengers 3: Infinity War … OMG
- Justice League … better than I’d heard
- Thor 3: Ragnarok
- Transformers (5): The Last Knight
- Wonder Woman … loved it!
- X-Men: Apocalypse
- Now You See Me: The Second Act
- Star Trek Beyond
- Captain America 3: Civil War … loved it as I thought I would; Cap2 is still my fave MCU movie, however
- Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice … better than I expected though kinda tedious in parts
- Allegiant
- Hunger Games 3: The Mockingjay, Part 2 … satisfying ending to a very entertaining movie series
- Avengers 2: Age of Ultron … entertaining but didn’t agree with all the character arcs
- Insurgent
- Hunger Games 3: The Mockingjay, Part 1
- Snowpiercer … both as expected and not as expected; glad I watched it OnDemand rather than buying since it’s not something I could watch a second time
- Transformers 4: Age of Extinction … long and mostly slow; no little boy humor…actually barely any humor at all
- X-Men: Days of Future Past
- Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier … absolutely the best and my favorite of the MCU movies that I’ve seen
- Divergent
- Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire
- Thor 2: The Dark World … loved it; action, drama, some (odd at times) humor, and a little romance
- Now You See Me … I almost didn’t watch this due to reviews, but I really enjoyed it. Most satisfying non-hero flick I’ve seen in ages.
- The Wolverine
- Man of Steel (second reboot) … after reading the novelisation, decided I would regret not seeing it in the theater…good movie, too much violence, *excellent* score
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.
- Music from Thor: The Dark World by Brian Tyler
- Music from Ender’s Game by Steve Jablonsky
- Music from Man of Steel by Hans Zimmer
- Music from Ironman 3 by Brian Tyler
- Music from Tron: Legacy by Daft Punk
- Music from Merlin tv series by Rob Lane and Rohan Stevenson

- Music from all seasons of Battlestar Galatica by Bear McCreary
- Music from all seasons of Doctor Who (new series) by Murray Gold
- Music from Airwolf as re-mastered and re-released from the music site
- Music from the Firefly tv series and from the Serenity movie
- Music from the Beauty & the Beast tv series by Lee Holdridge and Don Davis
- Batman Begins soundtrack by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard, plus both the sequels
- The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, music by Howard Shore
- The Sentinel TV Series soundtrack
- Various Babylon 5 soundtracks by Christopher Franke
- Farscape soundtracks
- Incidental music from Buffy and Angel series
- On occasion, I have purchased vocal soundtracks:
- Buffy‘s Once More, With Feeling
- Xena‘s Bitter Suite
- Moulin Rouge
- The Phantom of the Opera (movie)
- New Age
- Atlantis by David Arkenstone
- Music Inspired by Middle Earth featuring David Arkenstone
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: Arrow, Dark Matter, Doctor Who, Gotham, The Librarians, Once Upon a Time, Supergirl, Timeless
- Past series: Angel, Agent Carter, Babylon 5, Buffy, Defiance, The Dresden Files, Farscape, Firefly/Serenity, Flash Forward, Heroes, Jericho, Merlin, Sleepy Hollow, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Enterprise, Stargate: SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis, V
- Current series: Arrow, Dark Matter, Doctor Who, Gotham, The Librarians, Once Upon a Time, Supergirl, Timeless
- I also have an affinity for various animated series, 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, The Batman, and Young Justice
- 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.
