These movies have a huge nostalgic feeling for me. They are both simple and somewhat entertaining. I find myself a little more intrigued with the stories of Alice, Jasper, and Rosalie than Edward and Bella at times. These movies are at least worth watching once.
The building of the house, the baby being the center of focus for everyone (Probably my favorite part of Rosalie's story line is her love of the kid. She is always so excited to hang out with Nessie. Also, just like her because she is the most realistic and has the same name as my Grandmother).
I will say, that if I were a vampire and had money for days, I'd buy an island too. That place was super cool. I am not sure how you get groceries with any regularity (I guess if you have money like Scrooge McDuck, then someone can drive it out to you), but that can be solved.
A "triumphant" return to better story telling. I mean that in straight sarcasm, because I can see what the movie is attempting to do when explaining the powers of Alice and Edward, but it is still wishy-washy. She can watch the future of people she chooses? All of their futures?
The wanna-be-date scene shows Jacob to be a narcissistic, egotistical, asshat. "I laugh at what makes weaker men vomit." I understand that he is attempting to himself to be better to Bella, but this is a bit much. This is where I think Taylor Lautner's skill starts to be tested.
Granted, my enjoyment from this really stems from a place of nostalgia. When you are stuck in foreign country with no way to leave a small outpost, what do you do at night? Watch crappy movies that don't mimic real life.
With the end of phase 5 coming in the next couple of months we wanted to talk about it. We wanted to make a tiered list of the movies that have come out that we either have hated or loved. Maybe "loved" is too strong of a word, enjoyed is for sure better.
The characters are really well written. The benefits of single player games that told stories rather than attempted to make money. I already talked about Ashley's racist ass. There is also Garrus who is a companion in the next game and might be my favorite character.
I have enjoyed this show. It's gritty and entertaining, but at times super slow. Season 1 was great with a solid single story line. A blind dudes back story about how he became a boss. Simple and clean. A setup for the main villain that most people know from previous movies or the comics.
What a sleeper of a show. I remember it coming out, but never heard anything about it. When my wife and I were looking for a new show, we saw the main cast and thought it would be good. We were dead on. Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow are outstanding in their roles.
The characters are alright. The main character, Petrova, is my least favorite. Dr. Zhang and Rapscallion (The ships AI Robot) are probably my favorite. They have a sense of straightforwardness that in life I appreciate. He also has a nice comedic element that is pretty typical these days for robots
Let us start with how outstanding Robin Williams was. I am so sad that he isn't around speaking that he made such an impact on so many people in my generation. I still think about Flubber from time to time, Bicentennial Man, Hook, and his stand-up specials. He does so well as does Robert Leonard
