Okay Okay!!

Okay Okay, I know I haven't been around posting anything lately and that is due to trying to get caught up on my writing, I'm trying to finish my first teen book and the fourth book of the Lilly Reed Series.

I've decided that I'm going to just make one post a week talking about everything I want to get off my chest.

This post is going to be longer because I haven't been on here for awhile so here we go:

1. American Horror Story - Well I enjoyed this season a lot more than the second season Asylum. This season was a written better, acted better, just an overall better show, but truthfully even though I loved the idea of witches and stuff like that the first season was by far the best.  FX Canada



 2. The Walking Dead: Seriously can this show get any better. I am so in love with this show. I love that there are moments where you shed tears and there are moments that leave you sitting on the edge of your sofa, bouncing up and down not knowing what comes next. The second half of the season starts tonight and even though I don't have AMC I will be watching it tomorrow :( I hate that I have to wait but Bell charges way to much for a channel that is part of Rogers normal package, that doesn't make sense.... Stopping there I will stop my rant :) If you are reading this and you don't watch The Walking Dead, do it, do it now. LOL Peer pressure. The first season is a little slow but believe me it picks up and gets amazing. AMC



 3. Witches of East End: So one day I was channel surfing and I came across this commercial for this new show about witches. It kind of reminded me of Charmed and I loved Charmed so I thought 'Let's give it a go' and I was pleasantly surprised. The season is short but fantastic and I totally recommend it for anyone who loves witches and who loved the show Charmed. Lifetime


4. Helix: Again came across the commercial and thought it kind of reminded me of the movie The Thing and thought well this would be a good show to watch when nothing else is on and I was surprised that it's actually pretty good. Syfy


5. Being Human: Fourth Season just started a couple weeks ago and wow. This season is crazy and we're only a couple episodes in so I can't wait to see what other messed up and strange things they bring this season.Syfy & Space


6. Bitten: Okay so when Space mentioned that they would be adapting the Kelley Armstrong novel Bitten into a TV show I thought 'Oh god no.' I'm a huge Kelley Armstrong fan, I love her books Women of the Otherworld and I was worried about them chopping apart the book and doing it wrong. The book is about the only werewolf woman in existence and her pack. I hummed and haahed about it for weeks then I watched the first episode, meh. Plus I don't know about anybody else out there but have you read a book and found a guy or girl character that makes you swoon and you fall head over heels for a fictional character, well that happened to me. The character is Clayton Danvers and he's fantastic but the actor that is playing him is not him, he's not what I pictured. Now we're into the 5th episode and I'm starting to like him more and more but he's still not Clayton. I will continue to watch it, I have even found that I look forward to watching it weekly. Space & Syfy

7. Doctor Who: I know my blog is called Living Dead Girl - Blogger about things that go bump in the night - and that may not include SciFi stuff like Doctor Who but I love Doctor Who. I'm obsessed with Doctor Who. On November 23 was the 50th Anniversary for Doctor Who and a good friend of mine got me tickets to it in 3D and it was amazing. Then on Christmas was Matt Smith's last episode, it was a good farewell, an too early farewell, but a good farewell. Space


8. The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaueg - Excellent movie, I enjoyed it thoroughly but I have heard from die hard Hobbit and Lord of the Rings fans that even though the movie was good it really had nothing to do with the book and that Evangline Lilly's character wasn't even part of the book. I've tried to read the Lord of the Rings books but I failed, I found them to be boring. Maybe one day I'll try again.

9. Last is I, Frankenstein - Worst movie I possibly have seen. I actually fell asleep twice as we watched it. I thought by having the same feel as the Underworld movies that this would be good and boy was I wrong. The acting was horrible, the plot was horrible - Gargoyles VS Demons, that doesn't even make sense. Well I wish I could get my money back and my time wasted watching this piece of crap so this movie get a 'F' in my books

Okay well I think that's it. I could be missing some since I haven't done this in a while but I will update weekly or bi-weekly.

Ciao :)

Apology

Okay so again I say I'm going to make sure I make some new posts but again, I got distracted. I'm presently working on my 7th book in The Lilly Reed Series called Escape. I'm trying to get my teen series The Volkov Dynasty ready to be published plus I have three other series on the go so my mind is a little hectic. Plus trying to setup tweets for twitter and also keeping down a full-time job I'm starting to run out of hours in the day. Plus I re-discovered Netflix. I fell in love with Sherlock and I'm working on the first season of Continuum. If there is anyone out there reading this and you haven't watched Sherlock, watch it. The thing with Sherlock there are only three episodes per season, yup just three. Each episode are about an hour and a half but it's over before you know it. You get sucked into each episode, not knowing what is coming next.
Benedict Cumberbatch is amazing as Sherlock and he's just as great in the new Star Trek movie, I won't give the name of his character for those who haven't seen it yet. The movie was okay but not the blockbuster I was expecting.
Martin Freeman is great as John Watson but you may also remember him as Bilbo Baggins from the Hobbit and the two upcoming sequels. And the neat thing is Benedict is also appearing in the Hobbit sequel as the Necromancer. Can't wait!!!!


So I will try to have brilliant things to say on here and hopefully I will be able to make a post on a weekly basis.


Later :)

Dates To Remember For 2013

Dates To Remember For 2013

So I was sifting through the Geek Board Pins on Pinterest and came across this gem. This picture lists off possibly every good movie coming out this year (you may disagree with some of them, well I do).


For me I will list the movies I want to see: 

Warm Bodies 
Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer & John Malkovich
After a zombie becomes involved with the girlfriend of one of his victims, their romance sets in motion a sequence of events that might transform the entire lifeless world. IMDB


World War Z 
Brad Pitt
A U.N. employee is racing against time and fate, as he travels the world trying to stop the outbreak of a deadly Zombie pandemic. IMDB
(PS Brad Pitt + Zombies = Hell Ya)


Fast & Furious 6 
Vin Diesel, Paul Walker
Just another Fast & Furious movie. The last two have been awesome so if they bring back what they did in those last couple movies it should be great.


The Host 
Saorise Ronan, Diane Kruger
A parasitic alien soul is injected into the body of Melanie Stryder. Instead of carrying out her race's mission of taking over the Earth, "Wanda" (as she comes to be called) forms a bond with her host and sets out to aid other free humans. IMDB
(I have read this book and recommend that anybody who wants to see this movie please, please read the book first)


The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug 
Martin Freeman, Ian McKellan
The Dwarves, Bilbo and Gandalf have successfully escaped the Misty Mountains, and Bilbo has gained the One Ring. They all continue their journey to get their gold back from the Dragon, Smaug.
(I have watched the first Hobbit movie and I'm a fan of The Lord of the Rings movies so I will check this one out)


Star Trek: Into Darkness 
Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto
After the crew of the Enterprise find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. IMDB
(I really enjoyed the first one except I found it a little long but other than that awesome special effects. Can't wait)


Riddick 
Vin Diesel
Left for dead on a sun-scorched planet, Riddick finds himself up against an alien race of predators. Activating an emergency beacon alerts two ships: one carrying a new breed of mercenary, the other captained by a man from Riddick's past. IMDB
(I have liked the other Riddick movies - Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick - plus this one starts off right after The Chronicles of Riddick left off so can't wait.


Man of Steel 
Henry Cavill, Russell Crowe
An alien infant is raised on Earth, and grows up with superhuman abilities. He sets out to use these abilities to guard his adopted world. IMDB
(So another take on Superman, let's hope it's better than their last attempt)


Iron Man 3 
Robert Downey Jr, Gwenth Paltrow
Marvel's "Iron Man 3" pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds (Mandarin). When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. IMDB
(Iron Man 3, yes please. I've seen the trailer for it and amazing, I can't wait.)


Kick Ass 2 
Chloe Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse
The costumed high-school hero Kick-Ass joins with a group of normal citizens who have been inspired to fight crime in costume. Meanwhile, the Red Mist plots an act of revenge that will affect everyone Kick-Ass knows. IMDB
(I enjoyed the first one so let's see)


Hangover Part 3 
Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifiankis
This time, there's no wedding. No bachelor party. What could go wrong, right? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off. IMDB
(This one I'm unsure about because the first one was hilarious, the second on was okay and the third, I don't know, maybe I'll wait for video)


GI Joe Retaliation 
Channing Tatum, The Rock
The G.I. Joe's are not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra; they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence. IMDB
(It took me a long time to even admit that I found the first one to be enjoyable but I found myself watching it every time it came on TV so again even though I don't want to admit it I'm kind of excited for the second one but I'm a little uneasy since they pushed it back from last summer to this March, hmmm, that's strange)


The Mortal Instruments 
City of Bones - Lily Collins, Jamie Campbell Bower
When her mom is attacked and taken from their home in New York City by a demon, a seemingly ordinary teenage girl, Clary Fray, finds out truths about her past and bloodline on her quest to get her back, that changes her entire life. IMDB
(Again this is a similar one to the host, not the plot but as in you should read the book first. This is actually one of my favorite young adult series and I recommend anyone who enjoys a good read to check these books out by Cassandra Clare.)


Thor 
Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, and Christopher Eccelston
Thor battles an ancient race of Dark Elves led by the vengeful Malekith who threatens to plunge the universe back into darkness after the events of The Avengers. IMDB
(Okay so I'm excited for this because of a couple different reasons. First is I love Thor and The Avengers so that's number one of why I'm excited and number two is Christopher Eccleston is going to be in it and he played the ninth doctor on Doctor Who, which is one of my favorite shows)


The Wolverine 
Hugh Jackman
Wolverine travels to Japan to train with a samurai warrior. IMDB
(Okay so I'm pumped for this because I love the X-Men movies plus Hugh Jackman as Wolvernine, swoon.)


RED 2 
Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren
Frank Moses and his motley crew of retired assassins return for a second outing. IMDB
(I love, love, love the first movie and I have a girl crush on Helen Mirren, she's just so fabulous. Can't wait.)

Well I know I do a lot of paranormal and supernatural stuff on this site but I am a very diverse movie lover (except westerns and very sappy chick flicks, can't do it). So I hope everybody who checks this post out agrees with my pics or disagrees. If I've missed any other potential movies of 2013 please leave a comment and I'll add them.
