I've seen the film twice now in theaters and it was equally enjoyable the second time around. Every main character had a chance to shine. The relationships between each of them felt authentic. [spoilery review]Loki was a compelling villain. The short period where he was dressed as a human showed off his classy swagger, a quality that Tom Hiddleston carried ( Read more... )

I watched almost the entire last year of my television on my computer for the sake of convenience and accessibility, so my timing is a bit off for some shows.

( SEASONAL SPOILERS )

So, I plugged through the first four Game of Thrones books (yes, I know, they're technically the Song of Ice and Fire books, but the TV show will forever have me calling them GOT books) and FFwded through the first season of GOT, but I didn't start to actually enjoy the show until episode 2x04.

RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE
I quickly bought The Hunger Games the day after I saw the film and finished reading it the following day (today, I guess). I'm not sure why, but I felt a little more attached to the characters after reading the book, just as I felt more attached to them after writing my ( Read more... )

SPOILER FREE ZONE
I saw The Hunger Games at midnight last night. I slightly over slept this morning, but I made it to work on time and booked it to the coffee shop immediately (I rarely drink coffee), and I think it was worth it. I wouldn't say that it's one of my favorite movies of all time, but it drew me in and attached me somewhat to the ( Read more... )

THE SWORD IN THE STONE
Although Morgana re-taking Camelot again and Arthur being betrayed by his trusted family again was an obvious re-hash of last year's season finale, I was able to see the reasoning behind it. The writers had to get Arthur to a point where he needed to pull the sword from the stone to prove his rightful claim to the throne - ( Read more... )

ONCE UPON A TIMEI gave it a shot because I like fairytales. I was skeptical at first because the fairy-realm costumes, dialogue, and acting were so ridiculous, but I was able to look past that. What I haven't been able to get over is the tragic direction of the plot. Nothing good lasts, even in the fairytale world. It makes me wonder why the show ( Read more... )

Castle has had its ups and downs this season. I've been unimpressed by their serious episodes, but the comedy has been stellar. It took me a good five episodes to recover from the season opener, but they were in good form until this week's two-parter, "Pandora ( Read more... )

OMG! I have the most amazing guy friends ever! Sometime over the weekend, I received an invitation to a Single's Awareness Day (S.A.D.) party to be held at said guy friends' house. So here I'm sitting at work, thinking I'm going to see my friends tonight - who I missed seeing on Sunday because I was sick all weekend - when in walks one of them with ( Read more... )

WHICH ONE OF THESE IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER?I pulled my abs yesterday. I think that has to be one of the weirdest muscles I could possibly pull. I was trying to use my bed as an anchor for doing sit ups and the very first sit up sent my lower abs reeling in pain. I did the rest of them anyway, but today I made it worse: I did myself in by trying to do ( Read more... )
