Stoneshearst Asylum (2014)

This is a fine example of me hating the trailer and yet being intrigued enough to watch it anyway... trust me when i say i'm glad i did.

Stonehearst Asylum is about okay okay Stonehearst Asylum. Or well its about a young medical school grad who comes to Stonehearst to gain some experience in the workings of asylems. Soon upon arriving though he for starters is taken by one of the patients whom he does not believe to insane and well given the movie takes place in a time where a man in a dress in considered insane and one of the cures for insanity is being hosed down with cold water fair change is she isn't. Anyway... he also seem to realize that something isn't as it should be and after a little trip to the basement well lets just say he's not entirely wrong...

now i do put trailers on but... if the text above does intrigue you please please please do not watch it... it will ruin so much for you... you be much better of getting the surprises within the movie,...


truely hate that trailer.. sadly it seem to be a thing in trailers these days to reveal pretty much the entire movie..... sometimes the trailers even seem better than the bloody movie... anyway the  movie the movie the movie

given that i did see the trailer beforehand and that i seem to have a slight ability to remember almost every piece of information i come in contact with i did know the major plot twist before even starting the movie.. which just plain sucked... this movie has so much potential, so much thought and ways of making you think about things and then a stupid trailer wrecked it.. how is this even remotely fair? I mean here we have a movie right up my alley with the whole human psyche as the center of the story and i bloody loved it.. i just hated the fact that i wasn't surprised by half the movie like i should have been... i did get a few surprises though don't worry but still..

anywho... this is actually a good movie and i think it might even be a more than once kind.. and if you did stay clear of the trailer i do recommend it more than a lot.. sadly for this movie the thing i find wrong with it is the trailer :(

Cleopatra 2525 (2000-2001)

so i have done a lot in the series department of late... well i have been doing a lot of movies to
actually.. actually i might need a life.. or well a different kind... or well maybe not... anywho..

Cleopatra 2525 was the choice on the wanna-watch and well it is a brief memory of watching some of it on telly as a teenager... so i figured it could be fun if not entertaining... well lets start of with the intro because it seems that other than being really bad and good for a laugh (i might have a weird humor though) it is also extremely informative... so minus the singing it would actually be an awesome trailer for the show....


so we have 3 women fighting for the survival of earth with the help of The Voice.. a voice telling then what to do without them knowing who she is... kinda like Charlie's Angels.. and they fight the robots that have taken over earth a bit like you know Matrix... and then we add.... oh yeah.. a lot of sexappeal.. and the clearly lack of having to make sense which i just blame on the 2000's.... like why would they shoot like that? not that i'm complaining just why....

anyway.. lovely reunion with the past.. story is decent though short.. it does end end in final episode like if they knew they were to be cancelled... so there.. me counting down on them wanna watch lists...

Being Erica (2009 - 2011)

Erica Strange's life sucks big time.. i mean she is 30 and just got fired from telemarketing for being to smart... oh and to top it all of her boyfriend is sorta breaking up with her over the phone in the middle of the rain... wauw.. Erica, sad and wet, seeks refuge in a cafe that offers her a free latte.. yeah... downside is Erica is allergic to nuts so a hazelnut mocha latte is usually a bad idea...

So all and all a pretty bad day... Waking up in the hospital she meets Dr. Tom, a Therapist. Erica is convinced she do not need a therapist... well until a little family get together gets a little much and Erica decides to escape through the window in her pajamas.. oh yes... and then we realize that Dr. Tom is not an ordinary therapist.. no he is a time traveling kinda therapist helping Erica to settle old scores with her regrets in life..

and all that it takes is to see the therapy to the end...


so i got recommendation for this one somewhere.. not sure where... doesn't matter either.. anywho... going into this i thought it was just a girly thing about a 30 something doing a kinda diary stile thing
... let's just say i got a bit of a surprise... i loved it though especially the concept of going back not to necessarily chance the past but to come to better terms with the regrets we all have.. like i wish i did this or i wish i didn't do that.. and learning on the way that the choices we make chances who we are.. it makes us and without these choices we would be some one else completely..

so conclusion is; this is a really awesome show and it is sad that it ended in 2011... could have done with just one more season but hey that's life right... it is still a pretty girly series though, but different... in a very good way.. ;)
