On Thursday I had to throw in the towel and call it sick... thing about me being sick is i get really pathetic, like man flu pathetic... so in a way to lift my mood a bit I went full nostalgia and combined it with a small flair of Halloween spirit and ended up on Scooby Doo... but i have watched the original series to often so i figured i would go for the next in line of the series.
so just to sum up... Scooby Doo is about a mystery solving gang consisting of Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and of cause a talking dog Scooby Doo. (because that is all logical and stuff). Anywho... they travel around in the mystery van (greatly inspired in the 60's flower power) and seem to just fall upon mystery after mystery. oh here's the intro for ya..
So it turns out that the Scooby-Doo Show is the one they have shown most on danish TV as I recognized quite a lot of the episodes... not minding the revisit though I generally just love Scooby Doo, well as long as they don't make him sing anyway,, actually it is bit of a mystery why i have not posted about the Mystery gang already because i do get flips every now and then and at this point i have watched almost every movie made... luckily for me they keep making them so i don't seem to run out just yet.
So since this is a fundamentally part of who i am of cause i recommend it... but i guess it is not for every ones taste... i always loved it and always will.. it is part of my love for learning things and i guess it does teach a lesson about people being the monsters... as a newbie to Scooby i don't know where it would be best to start.. i love these old ones sure but i really like the newer ones to... so well.. i dunno.. start where you want i guess.. they usely don't have a need for following a story line except in the mystery inc series.. which i have not finished yet XD
United States of Tara is about Tara and her family.. and well the other sides of Tara. Tara has multiple personality disorder and along with her family she has decided to drop her meds as they make her drowsy and basically not herself. This of cause means that the personalities show up every now and then... so lets meet T, Alice and Buck. Tara's main sharers. T is a 16 year old horny teenager which only Tara's teenage girl find kinda fun as she can go shopping with her. Alice is a 30's housewife who is going for being perfect. And Buck well Buck likes to kick ass when Tara wont do it herself. All the personalities has a purpose, a way of protecting Tara. But family life isn't all that easy when half the time you can't remember what you have done or been saying.
I Love Toni Collette for making this. First of like wow the talent. Its one thing to play one character
on a show but to play four right of the start is nothing short of amazing. Anyway the show is funny and enlightening. It takes a fun spin on a psychological disorder an topic that tend to be taboo. All while showing a lot of other subjects that all in all makes a family.
So if you want a fun easy-going show with a pretty good and deserving topic this is one that truly deserve a look. It has a good flow and let you get a glimpse of what this disorder can do to a family.
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...
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.. ;)
oh dang it... so yeah Lost ended up on hold... i am almost sorry... or.. well it is YouTube's fault.. i swear...
Rookie Blue is about approximately 5 young police officers fresh out of the academy... we follow them on their everyday life which is quite ehm filled with dramas.. main goal for the young ones would be the mantra "Serve, Protect and don't screw up"
so like i said it is YouTube's fault.. no seriously it is... (i might be partially involved though).. anyway.. there was these videos floating around and in the end i just had to watch.. funny thing is the videos about Gail (the pretty blond with the nice blue eyes) was what drove me to the series and i just hated her guts in the first couple of seasons.. like really really hated her.. she was so mean all the time... but on the other hand.. she has awesome humor...
my view on it all though is that a little less drama could do but still a great show.. i was very much entertained (which i believe is the point of these things) and like i said awesome humor... and to be honest favorite scene is when Andy (the brunette) hugs Gail (the blond one) and Gail just says "this isn't really how i communicate" really couldn't stop laughing..
so there you got my weird sense of humor along with it there.. goodie.. i'm just gonna crawl into some warm place now and i dunno sleep.. later :)
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?"
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
The episode i'm on shouldn't in my current series didn't work... so i had to occupy my time with something else and for some reason movies didn't seem all that interesting. so what is a girl to do.. well went on my wanna watch list and took a look on the series i put on it. Just for laughs (or something) i can tell that at writing moment it is on the small amount of 315 series... so yeah i went to the bottom of the list (seems easier since it has a bad habit of growing) and took a look.. and there it was Angela's Eyes
oh you never head of this one.. not that surprising... Angela's Eyes only aired one season back in 2006 and well i encountered a fair share of bad words about it... anywho i found it intriguing and why not watch it then?
What is it about uhm well.. you have Angela, she's a FBI agent in a ehm special unit working with tough guy Leo and well geek boy Dozer... Angela is a kinda special agent though.. you see she can tell if you are lying (well on most parts) oh and she is the daughter of 2 of US's biggest traitors.. oh goodie
and nope there's no trailer for you this time.. there might be a few clips on youtube but what i have seen so far they aren't all that good at giving an idea on what this stuff is about..
anywho... i rather like the concept of this series.. reminds me of a nice mix between Alias and Lie To Me... i do give it people are right about the acting part however i am one of those extremely gifted people that can look beyond that fact if the story is good enough.. thing is that i since i was a little kid has been able to live myself into a story so full hearted that people sometimes makes fun and tell me i'm cute while watching stuff with me (or if i talk about it with them) because i am lost in it.. if the movie is interesting enough it is not possible to talk with me during it.. i just won't be listening.. anyway i got a bit of this while watching Angela's Eyes.. the story caught on something and i would have loved to see where the story would have gone after season 1.. this was however not to be and well i'm not gonna lye around crying about it.. there are a lot of other series that are better...
what this series did the most though was reminding me just how much i miss Lie To Me... sniffles...
This is a result of how evil youtube can be.. you see i have been watching bad girls for a while now going on season 5 (it has some really long episodes and i just haven't been watching that many a day).. anywho... yesterday i was doing a bit of procrastinating on youtube (i was really trying to clean up my room though) and i just happen to fall over this cute little video that someone had made about wentworth and then the curiosity killed the cat... uhm i mean got the better of me.. i ended up watching this youtube-list of videos about the series and then one thing let to another and i just had to watch the damn thing...
so... i'm clearly not Australian.. or american for that matter... so i didn't know anything about an old Australian show called Prisoner... i do however think i need to do something about that in the nearest future.. anyway.. in Prisoner there apparently is this inmate, Bea that runs the prison Wentworth...
so far so good.. now Wentworth (the series) is about how Bea supposedly got to be just that... about what made her into a woman that could run the prison with an iron hand... (yeah i do a bit of guessing on the last part)
well it isn't hard for me to say i feel hard for this one.. as in I watched all the 10 episodes of first season over the course of an afternoon and evening... yep i was just caught on the damn thing.. the stories the secrets the pushing around with each other in this little game of control... i loooooved it... am looking forward to see if they come up with a season 2 as i seem to have read somewhere that they are cooking on... after all we do need to see if Franky gets the girl..
oh right you don't know who Franky is.. or the girl for that matter...
well we start out with Bea going to jail for attempted murder of her husband.. once in she meets Franky, one of the powerplayer in the prison... few days later we also meet Jacs the other powerplayer.. and then the dance begins.. Bea is trying to do right and she is trying (and miserably failing) to stay out of trouble.. as time goes by in the prison Bea ends up a more and more important piece of the powergame whether she wants to or not..
oh and the girl being the governess Erica that Franky does very little to hide her effections from.. basically Franky finds Erica hot and does a lot of pressure to see what she can get in return.. let's face it Franky likes to be in control ;)
I might have mentioned this but i'm kinda a big fan of Nathan Fillon... i find him quite funny and very talented.. so when i started looking at the series part of my wanna watch list it just seemed like the right time to start watching firefly... thing is i had already started watching it but then my precious (that would be my external HD) suffered a breakdown and was not to be recoved...
so we have gone way into the future... the earth is no more (at least i don't think so) and the verse (guess universe is to long a word) is controlled by the Alliance. In this world is a very special firefly (oh that would be a space ship), a firefly named Serenity. Serenity is the home of a very wacky crew lead by Captain Malcolm 'Mal' Reynolds. Mal bought Serenity after the war that gave the alliance the power. He has along with him his "armybuddy" Zoe, her husband Wash, the mercenary Jayne and the young and truly adorable mechanic Kaylee oh and the companion Inara... and together they share a lot of adventure throughout the 'verse'... especially after taking on passengers...
i absolutely loooooove the humor in this show... and i find it more than sad that there is only one season.. i better get my fingers on the movie serenity just so i can get a small last fix of this thing XD
there is one thing about this series... as far i figured out there is one order the show was aired and another order that it was supposed to air in.... the later being the one on the boxset.. or that is what i seem to remember... this making it a quite discussed theme among watcher being that it is the wrong episode posting.. but so far i manged to watch 14 different episodes so i think i'm all good there XD
anywho where was i again... hm seems nowhere... bugger... well other than the humor (which is hilarious) there is this thing that i tend to always fall for in this land of the series... well written characters... in this case it might even be a small dose of really good casting.. i don't know how to really explain this so i'm gonna go with an introductions of the members of Serenity.. this also makes me practice getting some more photos on this dang thing :P
Met the one and only Captain Malcolm Reynolds also known as Mal.
Mal served in the war as said above. Afterwards he bought a firefly, a transportship and named it Serenity after the battlefield of his last fight. He sees the crew as his family and is very protective of them. Also he has chosen a new carer of a mostly gray nature. Yet for a criminal he has a very high sense of moral... oh and he just comes with some of the very best quotes
"i swear by
Zoe is the very much kickass second in command. Where Mal is kinda light in his way of being Zoe is more practical. Their time together in the war has made a very special bond between them.... one that Wash, Zoe's husband, is a bit jealous about.
Bringing us to Wash the insane yet brilliant pilot of the Serenity.
Every now and then he just comes with some funny things and then he fly around that firefly like a mad man...
"Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction"
" We live in a spaceship, dear"
The sweet and love Jayne... Jayne is a mercenary and boy does that man love his guns! And yes it is a funny picture i found of the man but i just found him so cute with this nice hat his mother made and sent to him... oh and when he is trying to trade "Vera" for "what Mal got" that was just absolutely priceless :)
So Inara is a companion which basically is a future version of a courtesan. She rents a shuttle and goes around doing legal business while the rest of the crew goes around doing there not so legal stuff... She do however care deeply about the rest of the crew and she seems to be quite happy about Mal ;)
And now to my absolute favorite character in this show... Kaylee, sweet adorable Kaylee.. she is just so damn cute.. seriously i just wanna go and hug her! She is sweet and innocent and really has the cutest smile ever.
she is the youngest member of the crew and it is very clear that the others treat her like a little sister protection wise. Let's just say that Mal gets more than one evil look when he hurts her feelings..
Now that is the original crew... in the very first episode Serenity is taking on passengers... some of these stays on the ship becoming a part of the crew...
this guy right here is Shepherd Books... Shepherd has just left the Southgate Abbey to go see the "world"... However it has been suggested more than once that he is not a shepherd but you never get to a truth in this... though he is not really against shooting people.
When boarding in the first episode the nice doctor Simon comes along to.. bringing with him a well blind passengers. The blind passenger being his teenage sister River. Thing is Simon kinda kidnapped his River from a school/institute thing because she was sending him weird letters that made no sense. River is however somewhat weird... broken somehow.. which makes some right interesting things happens...
so that was a whole lot of stuff on the people in this show ;) there is no doubt i liked this show a lot is there :)
