Mamma Mia, let me go

So Dark Knight opened last weekend? Did I see it? No of course not. I saw Mamma Mia! Ugh. Was dragged to it by a friend. Do you like musicals? Then you will LOVE this flick. The singing! The dancing! The way no one reacts when characters break out in songs--from the 70's! And they didn't even include my favorite ABBA song! Tho, I did forget what a guilty pleasure ABBA is.

Ok so it was alright. Meryl Streep, I admit, was very good. As was her two friends. But the real magic happens during the closing credits. Not gonna tell, but even if you don't want to see the movie, sneak in for the credits.

Next up is Dark Knight (i hope).

Mamma Mia! The FBI is 100 years old today!

I just have to share this video that my dad sent me. Now that George has discovered the wonders of YouTube, he has been finding the most random vids.

It's pretty funny if you are familiar with Armenian Music. If you aren't you might just find it weird--in a good way.

If you haven't checked out BBC's series Robin Hood, you really must. Though the second season is airing on BBC America now, production is under way for season 3. You can see from May 29th's post, I am a fan. Thank goodness for iTunes. I don't get BBC America so I rely on purchasing the episodes online to get my fix. I can't wait for the DVDs to come out. But for those of you who do not want to spend money of any kind on the show, you can check out the season 1 DVDs from you local library. And LOOK what I just found online! The season 3 trailer!!!!





It should be noted that this trailer was made by a fan and posted on YouTube by HeathDances.

Did I mention all the hotties in the show? Pure eye candy. Especially that bad boy Gisborne.

Special Edition! Summer movies!

With the 4th of July weekend behind us, we are the the full swing of summer movie season. Due to high movie prices, and the cost of gas, I haven't seen ANY of the flicks I have been looking forward to! But that is about to change! Starting this weekend, I am committed to seeing at least one movie a week. Here's my list of must sees, in no particular order:

The Dark Knight-Why? Because Gigs hearts Christian Bale AND Michael Caine. And b/c Batman Begins was sooooo coool. Add in Heath Ledger as the Joker, and, you've got a surefire hit, with bittersweet results.

Hancock-Why? Independence Day, anyone? Will Smith is so cool, that even this looks watchable.

Hellboy 2-Why? Three words--Guillermo del Toro. Need two more? Pan's Labyrinth.

WALL-E-Why? Why not? Gigs has been a Pixar fan since Toy Story.

Mamma Mia!- Why? Colin Firth! Really, that is the only reason I want to see this thing. I don't like musicals or romantic comedies, so really this is like the worst possible thing for me. A romantic comedy that sings. Hawt.

So what are your must sees this summer?

DISCLAIMER: Please DO NOT share plots, spoilers, or even opinions in the comment space. I will post a review when I see each movie, and then we can discuss. You know how Gigs is about her movies....she doesn't even like to be late for the trailers!
