Space The Final Frontier

Went today and saw Star Trek.

Totally Awesome!

Now as to the old question, Picard or Kirk, Well. Definitely Picard. I watched both classic and Next Generation growing up. I preferred NG. Now this movie... It makes me a kirk fan. I liked this Kirk.
He made me chuckle. And the new Spock.Mhmmm. yep. Cute as can be. Wonderful take on the star fleet uniforms,shuttles and damn, The battle scenes! Fast,Bright and very shiny. I laughed, I cried, I clung to my husband during tense moments. Its a great movie you should see on the big screen. Its the $6.50 or $9.50 or whatever it is now at your local movie theater.

Come With Me If You Want To Live

Those iconic words from my child hood. Kyle Reese saving Sara Connor. Kyle Reese. Yum. Played by then 28 year old Michael Biehn. Such a hottie. And I'm allowed to fan girl out over him. My husband says its ok. My darling ,did in fact take me last june to Adventure con and I got to meet Michael Biehn. Oh My God he was still handsome. I got a autograph photo of him as Kyle inscribed with : Samantha, Come with me if you want to live.Michael Biehn. :Swoon::

Ahem. My husband and I went out the other night to see Terminator Salvation. With another of my boys: Christain Bale. (I really only swoon over these two men. Nobody else. Cept my own hottie at home, my Husband. Love you baby!) The movie rocks. It was wonderful. A real treat. I've been a fan of the terminator series since was four. my parents loved the series so I got to watch them whenever I liked.

They show the hunter killers,T600's etc. Oh my! They show Kyle Reese as a teenager before John (Bale) Sends him back to protect Sara. The kid (I think 17) was cute. He does kinda look like a young Biehn.

The best moment for me, was when I got trandported back to age 4 and clinging to my mom's bosom when you see the T800 burned free of the human facade to stand in its metal skeleton glory. John meets up with a T800, The same T800 that his father fought to save his mother Sara before he was born. I admit I snuggled up closer to my husband. It was chilling!





I give this film a big thumbs up. (I don't care what rotten tomatoes says!) I rank this up there with the original And T2: Judgment Day. It was wonderful getting to share this with my husband, The franchise is one of our favorites. Why no mention of 3? I hated 3. Plain and Simple. Yes you see Arnold take up the role of reprogrammed T800 to protect John. But It wasn't enough for me. In Salvation, the war is here. John is a Resistance fighter, working up the ranks. Everything he was told and had seen was coming true. You hear his mother's tapes to him. It is one hell of a movie. Go see it with someone you love. Its perfect for snuggling to. If you're a geek like me.

ITS ALIVE,ALIVE!

My ac/heat unit that is. I bought my house at 21,6 years ago. For the 1st two summers my Ac worked great. Then it DIED. Kaput. Gone. My beloved husband, who I owe much to,plus many cookies and other baked goods, had a new one installed. Praise be to Sherril Heating and Air.

Right now its cooling down. My goodness its so nice. Can't wait till my sweetie gets home and he can enjoy it too!

Da dum..da dum...da da da da da daDUM!

Its summer. Its getting hot. It makes you want to don a bathing suit and go swimming.
Yeah right.
I discovered a wonderful older documentary about that terrifying wonderful film that still 34
years later strikes terror in our hearts. I was 2 or 3 when I first remember watching it. I remember that music scaring me half to death. THEN I saw the SHARK! my parents delighted in reaching over and grabbing me at really tense moments. Loving parents. Really.


I remember thinking that the first victim was such a pretty lady.







My husband and I eagerly await the release on dvd of The Shark Is Still Working. My husband and I are both movie freaks. We each have our favorites. Jaws is one of them . He bought me a poster of it and had it professionally framed. I have seen Jaws several times. Jaws two about 10. Jaws 3...A horrible 3-D venture 3 times. And Jaws 4: The Revenge. Where the shark follows Widow Body from Amity across the ocean to Jamacia. The only good thing about that was Michael Caine. I admit that I wouldn't get in to the bath after watching jaws. Much less my kiddie pool or the local lake. "It was just a movie! You chicken shit ...get in here!" My big sister would yell when I refused to put my toes in the water at Norris lake all those summers ago.

I couldn't swim until about 2 summers ago,When my husband paiently drug me into the pool and
waited while I tried to get my slower,cebral palsy inflicted right arm and leg to work along with the normal left sided limbs. It took quite awhile. But very slowly I managed to get somewhere.

I can float on both stomach and back. I can swim a little.

Will I ever let my husband take me to Florida to visit my new marine biologist Grandmother and go swimming with real sharks? Maybe.

The Haunted

Today while looking on you tube I came across a movie called The Haunted . (see the book it was based on above.) In my jr. high years, The scifi channel was relatively a new station and they would show great little movies about horror/scfi/ghosts/fantasy that had only been seen once on local tv years before. One of them I watched today again for the 1st time since my 6th grade summer. Spooky good memories!
