Movies I love even though people think they are crap!
.................1....................................2.....................................3....................................4................
- So I am a Shyamalan fan. And I loved The Happening! I can't really understand why these movie became so hated. It has some seriously cool and brutal scenes it is creepy, and it got Zoey Deschanel! What ever can be wrong with that? I really did like this movie, I also liked Lady in the Water even though everyone else seem to hate this movie. I am very much looking forward to The Last Airbender!
- Tremors came in 1990, but it still have the feel of the 80's B-movies. And I love it! The "graboids" of course looks silly with todays CGI effects but this movie still rock! I have not watched the sequels, no idea if they are any fun. But first one was superfun and (at least I thought so when I was like 15) kinda creepy.
- Starship Troopers! Well, ok, alot of the people I know love this movie aswell but then... alot of the people I know are strange. I do love this movie. I watch it at least once a year. Its brilliant, funny, over the top and has alot of disgusting goo. And above everything, it has Neil Patrick Harris! Wonderful, funny, cute and sadly gay NPH!
- Well, I am a huge Twilight fan. And I have been very much teased for it. And to the teasers I say, gtfo! The book is better than the movie, but I do love the movie aswell. Robert Pattinson is just wonderful, and the first time he speaks still melts my heart. I know it is silly, but sillyness is very underrated!
I couldn't come up with a 5th movie. At least not one I am prepared to tell the world that I like!

Another movie night!
Last night me and Thomas thought we would watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. That was not a good idea. We did manage to watch around five minutes, then we both looked at eachother and then turned it off. Some movies should never have been made. I have seen (or tried to) worse movies however. The awful movie called D-Wars for example. They keep showing it at the TV section at work, it really does suck. The plot did sound good, but the actual movie? Oh dearie me. It was among the worst acting I have ever seen, the CGI was laughable and the story seemed to have been cut with a hedge saw. I think we managed around 30-45 minutes of that one.
Then we have the amazing crap like 30 Days of Night. Again, the idea sounded good. Of course a place where the sun wont come up for 30 days must be a paradise for vampires. But again they ruined it. It was laughable "it is dark so no one can reach us". Oh yes, cause planes never take off in night, right? 15 minutes, then we turned off that crap.
Last night we watched the new Star Trek movie instead. I am not a trekkie, never have been. I did watch a few episodes of Deep Space Nine and liked it but thats about it. I really did enjoy this new movie however. More than I thought I would. Maybe because I have not seen the series before? I don't know. But I did like it.
Sometimes I do fall for the "guy" movies. Like G.I. Joe, it was a kick ass movie! Big explosions and cool car chases! And cool weapons. Don't forget about the cool weapons!
Some day I will learn to shoot!

Romance!
Last night me and Thomas cuddled up on the sofa with a bowl of candy and had a movie night. The theme for the night must surely have been every mans nightmare. Romantic comedies! I am blessed with a husband that can actually enjoy the brainless romantic movies where you know exactly how everything will end. Sometimes those kind of movies are just what you need.
We started the evening off with The Proposal and boy did that remind me why I never been fond of Sandra Bullock. When you see a romantic comedy and go "why on earth with anyone fall in love with her?" they have failed. Why her character would fall in love with Ryan Reynolds character was understandable, but not the other way around. So, we were off to a slow start.
Second movie was The Ugly Truth with Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler. I have never been into Grey's Anatomy but Heigl I do like in romantic comedies. And Gerard Butler... well, him I just like! This movie was what a romantic comedy should be, predictable, sweet, funny and you did see why the characters would fall in love. Brainless, of course but it left you with a smile on your face.
Third and last movie was My Life in Ruins. This is the "older" kind of romantic comedy. Not as much about sex as many other movies. Once again, sweet and predictable. Quite charming. It also did me want to go to Greece very, very much. This girl likes old ruins and visiting churches and museums.
Romance on movies I do like. But in real life? I have told Thomas that if he ever calls the radio to dedicate a song to me, I will assume he wants a divorce. If he came home with flowers one day for no good reason, well, I would not think he is cheating on me. However, I would think "oh, so it was 50% off on flowers today eh?". Cynical? Me? Never!
Thomas does the cute things of course. "Welcome home sweetie, I bought you some chocolate". Sweet, no? Well, if you translate it to guy language it usually means "Hi, I bought some beer and/or candy for myself so I bought this for you so that you wont be upset". Not as sweet anymore now is it?
Well, my husband can be romantic, of course he can. Not so much the time he gave me a set of salt and pepper grinders for Valentine's Day but he can be. I prefer the "I have made dinner and here is a glass of wine" kind of romance over "I bought you 100 red flowers and lit candles all over the room" kind of romance. And now I feel myself I am just babbling so I will wrap it up for today.
By the way, I do love my husband. Even if he sometimes is as romantic as a rock.
