Sci Fi Jungle: DVD

Cabin In the Woods

I dont even want to do a review of Cabin in the Woods. I think people should just watch it! If I tell you anything about it it will spoil the fun.

As I mentioned in the last post, I don't usually like horror movies. But this one is done with a wink, and the ending is just plain marvelous! Ding!

So get your cubase 6 upgrade at musicians friend installed, make some music, and then watch this fun, scary, absurd film.

Prometheus Coming to DVD Tuesdayin

I missed Prometheus in the theater, but my hubby saw it and said I will like it. I think this will be one of our Amazon retals through the Roku box.

I dont usually like horror movies but hopefully this one won't be too gross. I don't have a Nolan N43E but I can pop some popcorn and watch a flick.

To Be Watched Pile? The Hunger Games!

If there is a to be read pile, there must also be a to be watched pile, right? My next thing to be watched is going to be The Hunger Games movie. I just checked Amazon streaming and I can rent it for $3.99. That's AWESOME! I will watch it through my Roku player, which streams Amazon stuff better than the Tivo. I just love all this great technology - what a world we live in, eh.

But Katniss is low tech. She's happy in something like a carhartt coats for women with her bow and arrows. Rock on tribute from District 12!

Space 1999 Now Available Restored on BluRay

I remember back in the day I used to watch Space 1999 with my mom. Back then my Dad refused to watch TV because he hates commercials. Yeah, he's like that. Mom on the other hand, likes funny commercials, watched basketball with me and listened to pop music. Dad prefers classical. LOL.

Anyway, I remember me and my mom laughing at how cheesy Space 1999 was, but we also liked it. We laughed our butts off over the Linguina Monster aliens. (I gather these were the Larren)

I think it would by hysterical to watch this series. It took itself very seriously, while trying to cash in on the craze that follwed the success of Star Wars. Along with Battlestar Gallactica, these were the two main shows that tried to catch the Star Wars fever.

So indulge an old lady in her compression stockings, and catch some of the classic goodness of Moonbase Alpha.

Hey, does anyone in Atlanta really need toro snow blowers?

In my Netflix Instant Queue:

Surrogates

District 9

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

The Fifth Element

The Color of Magic

Kicking It Old School with Indiana Jones

My sons watched Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull and really liked it. So I decided that they needed to see the original movies in order to get the full effect!

So, time to pull out the home theater furniture, pop some popcorn, and have family movie night. My sons are 7 and 5 - I realized that I remember going to see Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom with my good friends Sandy and Julie in 1984. I was a high school sophemore. Wow. Julie and I both had a major crush on Harrison Ford.

As a matter of fact, I always stated that my high schoo boyfriend kinda reminded me of Harrison Ford. LOL! He was a cutie - but don't tell hubster I said so. Ummm... his wife is my Twitter buddy and she's been known to read my blog so sometimes it all works out for the best, you know what I mean?

As we get older, those good old days gain a little glow of nostalgia, and that's alright. Especially since I know that my boys are getting the opportunity to share some of these same cultural touchpoints with me all these years later.

Pop Some Popcorn - We've Got Avatar!

Hubster got Avatar on Blu-Ray. Ive got the hot air popper and Japanese hulless popcorn at the ready! Woo-hoo, it's Avatar time.

I for one have little interest in 3D, but I admit that this movie was AWESOME in the theater. I saw the regular version. To be honest IMAX makes me dizzy and 3D gives me a slight headache. Oh well, at least they still show the regular versions of movies as well. I am such an old fuddy duddy I even have to sit in the back of the theater so the sound isn't so loud. Sometimes they really crank it up so high I feel like I am at a Who concert.

Another benefit of watching movies on DVD/Blu-Ray at home - you can pause them and go pee whenever you have to. Plus get snacks - LOL.

Anyway, off to check out some acnepril reviews before showtime.

Great Deal on Fringe Season One DVD Set

Best Buy is offering the complete full season of Fringe for $9.99. That's an awesome deal - Amazon has it for $20.00. This is a great one one if you like to get your home theater seating and popcorn out and watch shows on your own pace. Fringe is one of my favorite shows out there right now, so if you haven't seen it yet, missed a few episodes at the beginning, or just like to collect DVDs of your favorite shows this is a great opportunity to get 10 DVDs for a dollar each.

I know someone who is an American living in China and her main viewing is TV series on DVDs. This would be great for her.
