Sherlock (2010 - ?)

after i finished Crossing Jordan i was asking a buddy of mine what i should watch next since i wasn't really in the mood for movies and my series list is quite long and hard to get a good overview of. He was like oh oh you have to watch Sherlock I'm sure you would love it... well my buddy knows me well...

we have all been exposed to the stories of sir Arthur Conan Doyle the brilliant writer of the Sherlock Holmes stories... and don't say you haven't... Sherlock has been filmatized so many times... even Disney did their try on it.. (Oh admit it you knew Basil Mouse is a spin off of the great master) and one of the newest hits in the line must be the work of one Robert Downey Jr.... yes i love his work too ;)

so what is it with this series... it is of a newer note due to the fact that season 3 (currently the last but hopefully with a new one on its way)  aired no later than January this year (2014 if you were to be in doubt...) so yeah it is pretty new in it... it is also different than the others... the stories is set in the time where knowledge had no compare toward today's knowledge.. no computers no easy access and certainly no cellphones...  this series though has taken the stories to the 21st century where all those things are in abundance. Where the other side of the planet isn't further than a click away... just look at this blog as an example... i have no idea where you are from but while you are reading this you are getting the thoughts and words from a danish woman.. that is only possible because of the internet that hits us with so much information every second... more than we often know what to do with... anyway i'm pretty sure i'm getting sidetracked here...


I love the adaption they made with this one.. it is absolutely brilliant.. (i'm using that word rather lot these days...) i love the way they made it possible to take a so well known story and still make it new, different and very much entertaining.. i mean there isn't a lot of episode they are rather long but hell i would have watched them all in a days worth if i had the time for it.. It is funny and clever and filled with excitement that keeps you stuck on it and wishing for more and more.. oh yeah i'm not a fan of the "you might be lucky to get a season 4 in 2016" thing that IMDb is showing me... I WANT MORE....!!!

okay i sound like i need help now.. maybe i do.. anywho... what on earth am i gonna watch now?

"what did just happen... did i just text a murderer?"

Crossing Jordan (2001-2007)

I am sorry for being so quiet lately... it is just that life altering, staying out of trouble and mostly watching series kinda make it hard on me to write all that much...

anywho... I finished Crossing Jordan today... again... i loved this series growing up and it is right there among my other favorite murder/crime series... i actually remember rushing home from school (at least when i went to school) just so i could catch the entire episode on tv.. what i love about it.. well there is the murder/crime aspect think we already established that i'm quite the fan of the genre but also the characters... mention this before to... you could have the greatest story in the world but if you don't have the characters to back it up it will fall through... and angry little girl like me loved the Jordan who clearly needed anger management and yet had this high amount of love and care for her family..

oh maybe i should explain what the show is about... just maybe..

Jordan Cavanaugh is a medical examiner who has meet well some difficulties in her job... luckily she gets a joboffering in Boston by an old colleague that know just how brilliant she is.. thing about Jordan is that she goes her own way and has quite the angry spirit.. probably because of her childhood trauma of loosing her mom... her brilliance in the job however is from her father the old cop who used to play murder/victim games with her to figure out not just who did it but why...

so there you have it.. that is basically what the show is about.. minus all the relations and stuff.. you have to watch that part yourself.. :P

2014... oh and February

I'm so sorry for well not writing anything... starting up was a bit harder than expected (dang that sleepy heart of mine) juggling work, sickness, snow and movies into a pot.. well lets just say i haven't been big on the movie part...

so the beginning of a new year... what should it really be about... i believe it is about reflecting the year that has just past and changing whatever you feel like need changing.. so that is kinda what i have been doing.. or at least trying to do... and it may have come across my hobby as a moviemuncher... i dunno.. it's not like i have been putting it on ice.. i have watched a few movies and i'm nearing the end of Crossing Jordan... and there have been occasionally Simpsons episodes crossing my screen so yeah.. its just that other things have been more pressing than writing about these things.. like seeing friends and catching up with old ones so they might become close friends once again.. yeah that is what my 2014 has been about so far...

now the movie world... well oh cause i was in the movies and watch The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug What kind of moviemuncher would i be if i had not seen that one.. i loved it btw exept the ending.. that was just cruelty on a high level and yes i have had the song I See Fire stuck in my head pretty much ever since...

of ongoing movies in the theater there is not one where i'm like I HAVE TO GO SEE IT but i am looking forward to setting my eyes on Frozen and Rio 2... catching fire is also one on my wanna watch list but a friend of mine had already seen it and advised me to wait until the next part comes out

unto the universe of upcoming movice.. well my besties is convinced that i just have to watch Lego Movie... i'm not in the same state of convinced that he is but we'll see.. To be honest i'm not good at getting scoop on what is gonna show up in this year so i'm slightly cheating by looking at a list for upcomming movies... well at least i have watch the trailers for them..

oh Pompeii is gonna come in march.. that looked so awesome when i watched the trailer and yeah i kinda dig historical movies.. i am afraid though that this one might be too romantic and well it is a risk... the book thief where did i stumble upon that one before.. looked promising i remember that much...

other than that it is not much.. sure i am gonna watch the new x-men at some point.. right after i get my act together and watch the new wolverine..

but here is some i don't need to find at a list to tell you that i can't wait to see... i have snooped up (well someone told me) that they are making a Veronica Mars Movie... uh uh uh can you say want? i absolutely looooooved the series and i was so sad about them cancelling season 4.. it was so much better than Buffy... anywho the old crew have been found to make this movie happen and yeah if it shows in theater around here in small and slightly dull DK i'm soooo there.. and i'll bring along a nice friend ;)

then there is how to train your dragon 2... well since i watched the first one over 20 times in a single december it is a no brainer that i have to watch the second one.. so yeah that one is on my list...

then there is only left to wait until the next hobbit arrives and that we reach 2016 to say Hi to the lovely Captain Jack Sparrow and of cause that they finish making the Finding Dory movie.. like it is Dory.. who doesn't love her?
