Blue Man of the Hour: Watchmen's Dr. Manhattan

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 15:00:33 GMT

In the movie, Watchmen, one character for me stood out above the rest, Dr. Manhattan. He not only was a tall, blue handsome fellow, but his intelligence was uncanny and wise. Under that serious façade of a man, laid a heart of gold. He also appeared to be the most levelheaded of all the characters.

My three favorite quotes from Dr. Manhattan are:

But the world is so full of people, so crowded with these miracles that they become commonplace and we forget... We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions.

For you are life, rarer than a quark and unpredictable beyond the dreams of Heisenberg; the clay in which the forces that shape all things leave their fingerprints most clearly.

We're all puppets, Laurie. I'm just a puppet who can see the strings.

Do you have a favorite character from Watchmen? If so, who and why?

If you haven’t seen Watchmen, you can choose a character from any movie based on a comic book, graphic novel, cartoon, etc.

Privileged? Or not?

Who’s heard of this new show on the CW called Privileged? The first season just ended, but I’m already hooked! It’s about this Megan Smith, a twenty-three-year old Yale graduate who is struggling to find her niche the world of journalism. One day Megan gets fired from her not so fabulous job in New York City and ends up working for a wealthy woman, by the name of Laurel in Palm Beach. Her job is to tutor Laurel’s two spoiled granddaughters, Rose and Sage. This in itself becomes quite the challenge, along with Megan falling love with Will, a billionaire playboy and her unstable family life.

Personally, I can relate to Megan. We’re the same age, have the same degree, love to write, we always put others before ourselves, optimistic, hard-working, career oriented women who are struggling to make something of ourselves. Oh yeah and we both have a Mac Book. haha

For those of you who have seen it, did you like it so far? Are you looking forward to next season’s surprises?

For those who haven’t seen it, what do you think just from the brief synopsis above?

Thumbs up? Or down?

The Haunting in Connecticut….MODIFIED Sequal

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 15:07:07 GMT

I was psyched when I saw previews for The Haunting in Connecticut. Over the summer, I saw the documentary on the Discovery Channel and it was very interesting. I went to see the movie this weekend only to find out Hollywood once again has worked it’s creative “magic. In the documentary, there was no Reverend, the cousin came to live with the family later on, and the end was completely different. Come to think of it, a lot of the storyline was different. But I must say, the movie wasn’t half bad.

What did you think about the movie? And if you’ve seen the documentary or knew anything about it prior to it’s release, how do you feel about the changes?

Good or bad?! Don’t be shy! ;)
