I watched a couple of seasons of The Guild. That’s all. Don’t get me wrong, I really did like it, but for some reason, despite being a short webisode series, I could never keep up or fit it in to my regular TV viewing. There is no logic in that I know.
Despite this I Guild things still amuse me. Last year Do you want to date my avatar? made me laugh quite a lot, and I was actually impressed with it! I shouldn’t say that with so much shock implied, tonally.
I think The Guild guys have surpassed it with Game On. I’ve only just seen it, I know – incredibly slow of me! It made me laugh more. Could be the Bollywood thing. Could be the line up doing the lightbulb. They got the Bollywood so right in it! Also Felicia Day can really pull off a sari. Eh, maybe I’m bias because it is a bit Bollywood, and despite me not really liking Bollywood, it is something I grew up with so I have a well hidden soft spot for it. You judge for yourself:
Splice(27/07/10)
I’ll admit it. I was curious about this movie. For that alone, I was slightly ashamed of myself! It looked like the kind of film I shouldn’t really go and see and tell people I had seen it. After seeing the film there are bits in it which were a little bit uncomfortable and just a bit… hmmm FREAKY, however I did like the film. It’ll be the best genetic altering film I’ll see this year! A bit creepy, a bit cute – there were more ‘aww’s’ coming from the audience I saw it with than I was expecting. I wouldn’t say there’s a twist ending, something I saw coming, but it still satisfied me. Rating: 3/5

I was hoping, what with it being summer holiday season, my drive to work would be a little less painful. Despite living only 13 miles from work, some days it can take over an hour. Thank you A40!
My hopes have been ruined! ‘They’ seem to have decided now is a good time to do road works on my usual roads! Until September!! I really do usually like August, when it can take me only 20 minutes to get work. Not this time. Damnit is all I can say.
Oh, and I still have the very attractive cold. It’s not developed into a ‘hack-your-lungs-out’ cough. It is very attractive.
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs(23/07/10)
I loved the first Ice Age movie. It looked lovely and the story brought tears to my eyes. But this one? Oh dear. I don’t understand why they keep giving Scrat more screen time. It’s just annoying and repetitive. I get it, he wants his nut! The underlying story of a mixed up family was done far better in Up. However the film did look great. BUT.. that’s not enough for me. Rating: 1/5
Mars Attacks!(24/07/10)
I don’t know why I still hadn’t seen this film. CRAZY! At least the problem is rectified now. A very funny, satirical movie that’s just a lot of fun to watch. With a heck of a lot of famous people in it! Tom Jones made me laugh more than he should have. Loved the shoddy CG. A very fun film to watch. Rating: 3/5
Inside Man(25/07/10)
I thought this was your typical bank heist movie. I was ready to settle into the usual routine of hostages, negotiator and usual action. I was a little bit wrong and very grateful for that. I spent a good part of the film trying to figure out what the hell was actually going on. I like films that tax my brain a little. But by the end make sense. Though I remained confused as to the choice of opening and closing song for the film – a very popular Hindi song. I didn’t understand and still don’t! Rating: 4/5

Why? They’re *just* a cold. You’re well enough to do things, but you feel really crappy while you do the things you should be doing. You’re not unwell enough to just have a duvet day and spend a day watching a stupid amount of TV and movies. You just have to suck it up, take some cold pills and get on.
Which is what I’m trying to do, but my duvet is calling me!
Channel hopping last night I started watching a bit of Penguin Island on the BBC. They had this story of a little penguin who’s foot was so mangled he could barely walk and it wasn’t looking good.
I started CRYING! Well not full on crying but proper tears and the sort.
Of course it all worked out at the end, he had a mangled but better foot. He was released back into the wild. At which point I head tears of happiness.
This isn’t the first time I’ve cried at wildlife/animal related TV shows. I need to stop watching them.
My name's Jaina and this is my blog. I've written an awfully ramble-y 'About Me' page where you can read all the sordid details.
Here you'll find my random thoughts on anything I feel like blogging about, but will most likely be finding my updated list of movies I'm watching this year, as I once again try and watch at least 100 movies. Also you'll find my photos of the day.
