Show Tim Riggins some LOVE

Excitement! The amazing Taylor Kitsch has landed the lead role in "John Carter of Mars" Here is what I know- pretty much nothing. It is a lead role. Some Pixar director is doing it. Disney is hoping it is the next Pirates of the Caribbean See more here.

Film Friday

This week's pick: Fight Club.
Actually it was an all out Brad Pitt Polooza this week (also watched Snatch). Seeing two movies in a row where Brad Pitt pretty much fights constantly, all I can say is, he looks good without a shirt! I have never been a huge fan of Edward Norton- but I thought this movie was good. Helen Bonham Carter- is amazingly good at playing quirky women. But I must say I love her more when she looks/reacts more normally. I didn't love LOVE either movie this week. But I was entertained.

My love....

Going to put this out there: I was 100% NOT disappointed with Terminator Salvation. I am no movie critic, but it did not let me down. I think they did a great job, following the mythology of the previous installments. There are plenty of throwbacks for fans of the original movies- Kyle Reese's "Come with me if you want to live", and his signature weapon. The images of the post-judgement day world was consistent with our original glimpse at it in 1984. The face of Arnold, and voice of Linda Hamilton - delighted me! As you may have figured out I am a huge fan of the Terminator Series, but here are some reasons that even if you aren't why you should watch this movie:

Action Fans: If you like action movies you can't pass this one up. (It is a Terminator movie- for goodness sake!)

Hotties: Christian Bale, Sam Worthington- I will even throw in Common and Anton Yelchin(although I think Anton is more of a cutie) but some day he will get there. All of the men in this movie have that hot dirty look to them- must not be enough water in the post judgement day world. Every women out there will love, LOVE Sam Worthington as Marcus Wright- his eyes are dreamy, his body is smoking, and he sorta slips in and out of an Australian accent (which when I didn't find it distracting, I found it dreamy). Christian Bale- my love for you began at a very young age- remember when you were in Little Women???? I still love you.

Hotties (For the men): Moon Bloodgood, don't ask, just watch. You will thank me.

Romance: Romance in an action movie you say? Yes- check out Sam Worthington and Moon Bloodgood make eyes at each other the whole movie. One disappointment was the lack of heat between John Connor and his wife (which I am going to write off as- people are always dying, she is 8 months pregnant, and he is preoccupied with trying to find and keep his dad alive)

I really really liked it. And I was 100% glad I didn't wait for it to be on DVD. Kelsey- who I drag to movies with me- is not a Terminator fan (she does love action movies though) and she recommended it to watch in the theatre to anyone who likes action.

Baby Blues

Just right now Chris Pine can do no wrong- He has single handily convinced me to go see the new Star Trek movie. So gorgeous- I can care less about the plot (which is probably making my brother-in-law cringe a bit, he is and always has been a huge fan) but I will go, and no doubt enjoy based on this guys baby blues! Another movie I am COMPLETELY excited to see- (can you tell by my use of online yelling?) Terminator Salvation! My love for Terminator, is in all ways, opposite of my fascination with Star Trek, I love Terminator (the whole franchise). I have deeply steeped myself in all the mythology and background. Seen every movie, multiple times, watched the TV show, etc. And I will pay close, close attention to details of the plot. I cannot get enough. May is pretty much going to rock my world!
