I just watched Wuthering Heights (another BBC Masterpiece) and Black Beauty.
But to switch things up (finally!!!) tonight I plan to watch Hot Tub Time Machine!
BTW, Can I say..Wow Emily Bronti...way to go! Since 1945 Wuthering Heights has never been out of print!
Maybe cause Heathcliff is the ultimate bad boy!

I just saw "Limitless". A movie about a pill that could affect the way your neural cells make synapses. Increasing your capability of using your brain to the full potential. In the movie, they say normal people use 20% of their brain and will the pill, they are able to push it to 100%. But really they made a mistake, normal people use about 6% of their brains and people who have access to 7-8% are genius' like Newton or Einstein (or.. if you're one of those people who've read about rumors, Einstein's wife).
Movie was good in general, good acting, good sci-fi story I give it 8/10; worth watching!

Actually more and more ppl are using parts of there brains for things that they wouldnt ususally use them for these days. which accounts for way more than 7%. i saw this show where blind guy could use radar like bats and an other guy could have electriclty go threw his body more that 5 times the amount a normal human could take....when they they did the research, on almost all these freaks there brains were using parts that normally wouldnt get used.

So I watched Hot Tub Time Machine and yikes!! Didn't realize it would be quite so naked-booby-drug alicious. LOL. But it was a funny movie overall.
I have the first 2 seasons of Shin-Chan in my Netflix queue right now. (does anyone know if there are more than 2 seasons?) I watched 1 episode last night and was like "Wow, I dont remember it being quite so racist and politically incorrect?"

Yesterday I saw "Hanna". I think its the first of 2nd week that it's been in the movie theater, but still as I walked in (just when the pre-movie trailers finished), there were maybe only 10 people in that movie room! TEN!!! And this was a Friday 7pm movie!! Anyhow, this was a decent movie. I don't understand why it is so unpopular. Maybe all the kids are having exams. Ah.. yes, maybe that's why.
Anyhow! Hanna is a girl who was trained by her father to be the perfect warrior. He trains her to be able to kill a woman who had been tracking them. Pretty cool fighting scenes. I think I've already read a story like this in manga. Hmm.. haha. I give it a 7/10.

TWO MOVIE REVIEWS (because I forgot to update you last week!)
FAST FIVE How many'eth movie in the series of Fast and the Furious? I don't remember. I've watched them all in that series, though I am not much of a car or hot-girls type person . I think this is the best one out of all of the other movies in the series. Definitely worth watching if you liked the previous ones. This one's CG is far better than the old ones. And the storyline is a lot less chessy than the previous movies in the series. Overall about 8.2/10. <3
THOR Awww, I love comics and good old movies with evident moral-of-the-story imbedded in the plot. Haha. And myths too, all the more love! Enjoyed the movie I give it a 8.8/10 ^^
Also, the protagonist bears an odd brad pitt resemblance tell me if I'm wrong:

I also watched this movie with my hubby a few days ago. It's his type of movie and I'm also a fan of fast cars. I have also seen all the movies in this franchise and I completely agree with you when you said this is the best of them all. First of all is the all-star cast, all the best characters are here except Michelle Rodriguez who we know died on the last movie.
I like the story line, the expected unexpected twist , and best of all, the ending. I like how Paul Walker's character stuck with this Nissan GTR's and Vin Diesel stuck with his Challenger/Chargers.

D: No, I didn't stay until the end of credits cause we are hurrying to get the cake we had reserved before the mall closes. What happened? Maybe you can tell me but put it on a [spoiler] tag.

there is five hints the name fast five. It cost like 10.00 us to go see a movie nowadays. i don't think that's worth it to see any movie once. thank you pirates. however the copy i had was protected so to bypass it i speed the frame rate up 1.5x to watch but i agree was just as good as the rest. i especially like the rock vs diesel scene and the ending didn't know Doges SRT8 had that much toeing power. Fan of cars could care less about the woman show me the cars!

hihi here's what was at the end of credits. I usually don't stay til the end either. We just got to the theater early and walked in before the previous movie credits ended
Spoiler:
The cops opened a new crime file somewhere, with a photo of Diesel's ex gf. Dun duun duuuuun. She was dead, but is she really?

Saw Priest yesterday. Is a story about Human vs Vampires. Vampires die by sunlight, and apparently can be killed with fatal wounds and are bred by a Queen vampire (sort of inspired by insects and bees, I think). The clergy trained a few select people as priests. They are really agile warriors and are the only ones that stand a chance against the vampires. Vampires were slayed and the clergy removed the priests' position and forced them to not speak of vampires. Sort of a 1984 book "big brother" sort of thing. The clergy enforced security and secrecy. They wanted the public to believe they were safe, but really there were still vampires out there.
In my opinion, the movie was too short. The plot was not very well through out. Some of the CG effects were "botched" (not very good). I didn't like the movie. I give it a 4.7/10
I thought it was a good idea to make the vampires blind, though (makes sense when you think of it, many nocturnal animals have less developped vision for heightened other senses). That was the only cool point. lol.

yeah the trailor made it look cool. I can't wait to see pirates of the carribean though comes out on the 20th May! Me likes captain jack sparrow ^^
By the way, I thought that the "tatoo" on the forehead concept in Priest movie reminded me of Avatar The Last AirBender (the anime, not the hollywood movie that I didn't watch because it was horrible).

Yesterday, I saw... Pirates of the Carribean - On stranger tides Story about the race between three groups for the fountain of Youth. I don't know, I just think Johnny Depp is awesome in his Jack Sparrow role! 9.3/10 plus the story plot is way better than the last year's pirates of the carribean (you remember, with calipso the giant demon girl thing. no idea.)
btw there is a mini extrascene after the 8 minutes credits at the end of the movie. the scene wasnt very eh.. necessary. unlike the last pirates of the carribean movie. if you're in a hurry to leave, I suggest you to not wait for the end of credits and look the scene up on youtube or something.
