Movies



Don’t ask me why, but I’ve had the hardest time figuring
out what to write for my March blog. I know there’s lots of stuff, such as St. Patty’s Day (17th), Spring Equinox, (20th) (in Utah? Right?), Pocahontas’ Death Anniversary (21st), National Puppy Day (23rd), Salem Witch Hysteria (1st), Dr. Seuss’ Birthday(2nd), World Book Day (3rd),even Davy Jones’ passing(7th - my favorite Monkey), and that’s just a few. But, I decided to tell you about an article I wrote on Canyonland Press.

I love reading fiction. I read many genres, and sometimes self-help books. We all need to read a self-help book once in a while, but there’s many more books that can help you escape, not only books, but movies. I love going to movies. Fiction writers have to love going to movies, even if you’re not a writer, but enjoy escaping, movies are the best. What have I seen lately?

Well, last week my hubby and I went to see John Carter. Now, you have to be a sci-fi person to enjoy this movie…and, I am. I love Star Wars; so naturally, I knew I would thoroughly enjoy John Carter. Did you ever read, Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter books, if so, you know where sci-fi came from 100 years ago.

What am I looking forward to? Hunger Games (have you read those books?) What I’ve seen in the last couple of months is Ghost Rider, Safe House, and Star Wars: Episode 1 in 3D- loved it, and This Means War, which was a fun movie to watch.

I’m not only a movie junky, but a TV junky as well. Right now I’m into Merlin, don’t you just love Collin Morgan as Merlin, he’s perfect and Bradley James is a great king. I think it’s great that Guinevere, Angel Coulby, is an African American. And, what can we say about Katie McGrath as Morgana, she starts out as a beautiful woman and gradually she becomes evil. What a great cast.

By the way, I do like other stuff – Castle is one of my favorites (you think because it stars Nathan Fillion from the space western movie, Serenity…hmm, maybe), and of course NCIS – who could miss out on Mark Harmon? Plus, I’m intrigue with The River – it weird stuff.

What’s your favorite book, movie, or both?
I'd love to hear from you.
Oops, I forgot I was going to tell you about my article, oh well, here it is, http://www.canyonlandpress.com

  1. Okay, I wasn't sure I wanted to go see "John
    Carter" but after your review, I think we will go see it. I also love NCSI. I did love to watch Terra Nova but it has not come back on. I hope it does. And the movie, Tower Heist, was really
    good and it was funny. And I loved Jounrey 2 with the The Rock in it. Right now I trying to rent "Melancolia". Can't wait to see it.

  2. Sherry, I loved Terra Nova, but they're not bring it back. The one thing that makes me mad, is that the shows aren't given a chance to make it - if the ratings aren't high enough the first season they drop it. I haven't seen Jounrey 2 yer but it's on my list. Lov ya, judy

  3. My hubby is a sci-fi fan and he wants to see John Carter. I'll go too, because I think the actor is good looking. lol I love movies, but as long as they are romance...and if they're historical, then I love them even more. I don't watch tv, only because I'd rather write than watch tv. But hubby and I went to see the new movie "This Means War" two weeks ago, and we both laughed soooo hard!! So there are some movies I love, but not all of them. :)

    1. Marie, I think your hubby will enjoy John Carter. My hubby laughed so hard at This Means War. I also don't like all movies. Those that I don't are the true-to-life movies where I come away depressed. They're usuall great acting, but I like to be entertained and leave with smile on my face. Thanks for your comment. Happy writing. Judy

  5. I guess I'm an adventure and suspense junkie. I saw and enjoyed Safe House, not surprising since I love the Bourne movies. I'm currently reading a Clive Cussler novel and my other favorite author is James Rollins. I'm not much on Sci-fi, but I did love James Rollins' Amazonia.
