J.J. Abrams strikes again

I'm pretty sure J.J. Abrams exists to make things that I enjoy. It's awesome.



The new Star Trek movie opens this Friday. Meg and I are going to go and totally geek out.

So epic:

Now I know why I was drooling

This past Thursday I went to see Watchmen. When the movie was over I thought to myself "Ozymandias looks REALLY familiar" but I just couldn't place where I knew the actor from.

When I got home I went to IMDB and BAM! It was Matthew Goode! I didn't recognize him with blonde hair (he normally has dark brown hair). Damn. He's hot.

Drag Me To Hell

Two reasons I want to see this movie. 1. The title is awesome. 2. Justin Long. If those aren't good enough reasons to see a movie, I don't want to know what are.

Ok, ok. It's a horror movie and I would watch it anyway. WHATEVER. It looks interesting and different from anything I've seen latelty, so yay.

I just can't let go of BSG

I know Battlestar Galactica ended last Friday. I KNOW. I curled up in bed, clutched my pillow tight and wept...until I heard about the new Battlestar Galactica movie coming out. That's right!!! Battlestar Galactica: The Plan. Oh, fuck yeah! Scheduled to air on tv sometime during November of this year.

The movie begins just after the destruction of the twelve colonies, with two Cylon agents discussing the problem of the remaining humans, both on the planets, and those who have escaped into space. The movie shows the initial storyline of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica from the Cylon point of view. Edward James Olmos states: "When [‘Battlestar’ fans] see ‘The Plan,’ they’re all going to have to go back and watch the entire series again."

Oh my Gods I am frakking excited.

Taken

It's not often that I'm on the edge of my seating and totally engrossed in a movie...but that definitely was the case with Taken. Liam Neeson's character was very likeable. The type of character you pull for throughout the entire movie. This is more of a thriller than an action movie (don't get me wrong, there are plenty of fights) and I think that's why I was into it.

If you like LOST (and who doesn't?) Maggie Grace (Shannon) is in this movie. Upside is she is not nearly as annoying as she was on LOST and the downside is she looks really bad with brown hair.
