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 :)

Movie Review - Kick Ass 2

Kick Ass 2

Kick Ass 2 takes place not too long after the first one. Hit Girl, aka Mindy, is now attending the same High School as Kick Ass, aka Dave. 

But the moment after her Dad's Friend drops her off at school and he's gone she goes back to her Dad's place and continues training. Dave, who has stopped being Kick Ass, finds this out and decides that he wants to get back into the game and that he and Mindy should be a team. Mindy agrees to help him train but her Dad's friend finds out and tells her to stop. She goes back to being a normal teenager by making friends and whatever as Dave continues training. Dave puts a message online looking for other super hero's and he finds a group. 

This group is filled with some wannabe's and some who can really kick ass, like Night Bitch and Colonel Stars and Stripes. As Kick Ass trains with his new group Red Mist, aka Chris D'Amico decides that he wants revenge on Kick Ass and he then becomes The Motherfucker just after he kills his mother. 

The Motherfucker's only quest is to kill Kick Ass. He starts to assemble a gang of ruthless people but the worst is Mother Russia, she is crazy. The Motherfucker finds out who Kick Ass's real name is and goes after him but finds his father instead. The Motherfucker being completely ruthless hurts Kick Ass. Kick Ass, broken and bloodied, assembles the good guys and takes on The Mother Fucker and his gang.

I don't want to give too much away but this movie is not for people who do not like violence or people who can't take rude humour. I have heard a lot over my years and I can even have a pretty bad mouth some times but even the things they were saying in this movie made me blush. The movie is crazy violent. But overall I enjoyed it. It's not the violence I enjoyed or the language but I know the difference between a movie (fiction) and real life and I know some people can't see the difference.

For entertainment value Kick Ass delivers, plus it is pretty funny in some parts and other parts it pulls on your heart strings.

Kick Ass 2 get my 'V' Stamp of approval.

Movie Review - Elysium

Elysium

Elysium takes place sometime in the future. The rich have decided on leaving Earth leaving the sick and poor to live in filth on Earth as they live on Elysium, high above the planet living free of disease, and in privilege. Matt Damon plays Max, who has been in trouble before but he's trying to make a life for himself. He works at a factory and when he becomes trapped and infected with radiation he decides he will do anything to get to Elysium to fix himself. 

Along the way he meets up with a childhood friend Frey who has a daughter who is sick too. Max, finds a man named Spider who will help Max's failing body by attaching a metal exoskeleton to his body giving him the strength to get to Elysium. But this comes with a price. Max must extract information from his old boss and during this extraction things go bad. His boss dies and the director of protection on Elysium, Jodi Foster's character, Delacourt know that this information that is now in the hands of Max is vital for her she ends up sending out a assassin of sorts Kruger, played by Sharlto Copley. Kruger is ruthless and as he hunts down Max he finds out about Frey and her daughter and brings them to Elysium along with Max who he captured. Max finds out that the information he holds in his head will allow all residents of Earth to be able to come to Elysium to be healed. But uploading this information to the server comes at a great cost. 

I don't want to give away the ending but overall I enjoyed this movie. It had great action sequences, amazing visual effects and great cast. Sharlto Copley is great and scary. I enjoyed him in District 9 and in this movie.

Elysium gets my 'V' Stamp of Approval
