I did it!!! Finally I did it. It was a hard journey, filled with moments of extreme boredom and absolute disgust; but I pulled through thinking, hoping something will change in the end and show me that this was not all in vane. Oh well, that moment of clarity never came, and I can’t really say I’m disappointed. I accepted my faith in the 3rd day and just waited the end, which seemed to get further and further away.
It took me three days to see Kick-ass. As you can see it wasn’t really a movie that kept me pined to my seat. Actually, I got bored after 5min and hated it after 6.
I was never really a big fan of comics, but I was looking forward for this movie. It had such potential, the story was crazy enough to work, and just the mention of Nicolas Cage in a movies usually means success; well, that’s not the case with Kick-ass.
I remember laughing at one point while I was watching the movie, but I think it was because my room mate made a joke, rather than saying this movie can make anyone laugh. The biggest thing they did is made a little girl swear, in a family movie; great! It will surely get my vote when it’s nominated for Oscar.
And the best thing about it is that the ending leaves room for a sequel. Can’t wait! I’ll keep a loaded gun close by.

The Bounty Hunter and Transylmania
The bounty hunter- That was a cute movie. Jennifer plays a nice role. I love the way they portray the way women get their way with emotions. The movie is about an ex cop trying to get his ex wife to the police in order to collect the bounty on her head.
It was a cute movie I saw with my friend. It's not amazing, but it's original and sometimes funny. If you plan to have a relaxing evening I definitely recommend it.
Transylmania - A movie about an American group going to Romania. Now, I was very curious how they will show Romania in this movie. Bad, of course, but who cares? I liked the movie. It was idiotic funny. It was a bit boring and the vampire girls were to skinny for my taste but what can I say? I expected things to be worse and I think it beats Twilight. Oh wait, any movie beats Twilight. Btw, Musetta Vander is the hottest woman alive. She's born in 1963. -_-

LOST Series - Almost there
I have just finished watching the latest LOST episode, 6th series, 14th episode ‘The last candidate’. Let me start by saying that I’ve been a LOST fan since it first aired in September back in 2004. I found the story quite nice, and each episode left me waiting excited for the next one. All the twists and turns, the flash forwards and backwards, the story of each main character made it very interesting and earned itself a spot in my top five favorite TV series.
Earlier this year they announced that this is the last season, and that they will explain all that it is to explain in these last 18 episodes. Well, we are almost there and the story doesn’t seem to become that clearer, actually each explanation makes you ask more questions.
This episode was more of a disappointment then any others seen recently. I can’t really put my finger on it as to why; but the lines weren’t that great, and I think that the camera man was high, or the director called in sick. Something was off, and it showed throughout the whole episode. LOST usually gives me goosebumps, and I have to say that this one lacked in that department.
Maybe it’s just me, and I’m just starting to see the real show (I hope not, that would be such a disappointment); or maybe they are saving all their shots for the final episodes, maybe they are pulling their punches.
Hopefully I will be able to write about the ending in 2 weeks with a big smile on my face. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.

Avatar Movie, another average tale
I was thinking the other day about this post; being the first movie related post, it must have some meaning to it. Most of my favorite movies came to mind and each of them made a compelling argument.
How High; yea we all know and love this movie; I saw it like 48 times and it still makes me laugh. The thing about How High is that it’s kind of old, and if you haven’t seen it by now, you probably won’t like it that much even if I convince you it’s worth a shot.
Another favorite would have to be Batman The Dark Knight. What? I liked the way The Joker made the perfect villain; thumbs up for Heath Ledger and may he rest in peace.
So…here we go. I would like to introduce the most sheep go with the crowd movie so far. It is one of the most idiotic storylines, but it had that something that made everyone want to see it.. Yes, I’m talking about James Cameron’s very own Avatar. In case you’ve been living under a rock and this is the first time you hear about such madness, I suggest a quick Google search. I for one think that the South Park episode about Cartman being a false strumf, in which they make fun of Avatar, was way better.
But, moving on… I went and saw Avatar like everyone else, as soon as it appeared in cinemas in 3D. I have to say that the effects are quite good, and it shows that they actually put some work into it. It revolutionized 3D and made it available to the general public. When I got out of that cinema, I had a smile on my face, but it soon went away. It is in essence, a story with a popular theme, where somebody is taking things using force. But I still like it, it’s so fresh and well drawn and so…blue. Oh yea, I even saw the Blu-ray version; it’s worth the money for a nice relaxing evening on the couch along with your loved one. Because even if the movie isn’t that great, it still can be considered a good movie; and it is definitely a must-see.
Here is the official Avatar trailer:

How much I hated Twilight movie/book
I know I’m supposed to write about books, but the thing is I hated Twilight movie too much.
I also read the book, because everybody was crazy when it came out. Anyway, the book was written in a very simple manner, with terrible conversations, the characters were lacking any intelligence, and it was full of clichés. However, if you need something easy to read while you’re in the subway, the book is actually perfect. It’s entertaining, but in a very chick lit style (although I know some books that fit this style and are way better than Twilight could ever be). You know those TV shows were you get to see people fighting and they make you feel like your IQ is dropping while you watch them? That’s the feeling I got from Twilight. I couldn’t stop reading it, although it was extremely predictable and made me feel like a retard.
Now the movie. All those terrible scenes where he smells her like a piece of warm meat made me want to put lemon juice inside my eyelids. And the way he sparkled in the sun, like a magical pony… There are no words to describe how much I hated Twilight movie. I also hate the actors, Robert Pattison looks like a pale R2D2 with a 18 century look in his eyes and that Kristen gal is the most ordinary woman I ever saw. I know the girl was supposed to be ordinary, but when she plays like an emphatic Bambi I can’t suppress my gag reflex.
Overall the book and the movie are fine, if you are extremely bored and have nothing else to do or you want to have some fun with your friends.

About Jenny
Hello Internet.
We are just getting this blog off the ground, so we thought it will be appropriate for us to introduce ourselves. I don’ really like to talk about me, so I’ll tell u about Jenny.
Oh Jenny, where should I start?
Well, some would say that Jenny is a born cynic with a dark look upon mankind, a sarcastic sense of humor, an annoying need to be right, and with the ability to find something wrong in everything (except me). Oh yea, and she also thinks she’s an independent woman.
Nevertheless, she is a great person with numerous hobbies and with a vast range of dreams and goals. She likes to plan everything ahead of time, and take action when needed, although she is quite shy. I’m happy to be part of these plans, and hopefully, I will be for some time to come.
Oh yes, I mentioned she has a great number of hobbies. I’m not going to give you a list, just want to point out her biggest hobby. Reading!
Reading is one of Jenny’s great pleasures. She read over 400 books so far, and she is more than capable to dissect each one of them in order to show others what makes reading so great.
She hates Jessica Alba, whiskey, dogs; loves flowers, hello kitty, and sprinkles (because everything is better with sprinkles).
