Movie Review Monday

-
Although I haven't been knitting these last couple of weeks...........

I have been watching movies in my exhausted new puppy state....sometimes it takes me a couple of tries to get thru the movie.....but not because it isn't a good movie....it's just that I fall to sleep in the middle of it!


So last week I watched ...

STAR TREK - 5 Knitting Needles out of 5

Although some people might not like the new twist on this "old" favourite....I LOVED IT! Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Karl Urban do a great job representing Kirk, Spock and Bones........can't wait to the next one which has been announced and is expected to be released in 2011



TWILIGHT - 3 Knitting Needles out of 5

Although not a Twilight die hard.....I have read the books.....and I wanted to see how they translated to the screen -- good job I think. Entertaining.....but being based on a book that we've all read....well, we know how it comes out right? Made me pick up "The Haunted Airman" because Robert Pattison was in it.....see below.


NIGHT TRAIN - 4 Knitting Needles out of 5

Starring Danny Glover, Steve Zahn and Leelee Sobieski - to sum it up - greed always has a price! Interesting movie!





THE HAUNTED AIRMAN - 5 Knitting Needles out of 5

Starring Robert Pattison (of Twilight and Harry Potter fame), Julian Sands (you know he is going to be a baddie) and Rachael Stirling (the only thing I've seen her in is the latest "Murder at the Vicarage").........interesting movie based on the book "The Haunting of Toby Jugg" by Dennis Wheatley -- will have to look up his books. One thing is for certain.....Robert Pattison CAN ACT!!!


Disclaimer: Of course, these ratings are highly subjective to my own peculiar sense of entertainment - you might have an entirely different point of view LOL!

Happy Movie Watching!

    Oooh, I have to get Star Trek, I'm so mad I missed it in the theater - just for the sound/big screen effects.

    I like your rating system!

    Thanks for the reviews. Now, off to put these on my Netflix queue. Seems we both have a similar taste in movies...love the needles as your rating markers.

Latest Life LDC Knits youtube episode is up! This blog post is in addition to the video update (I always think of things to talk about or write about here that I haven’t in the other platform :) ) It’s Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada! I’ve got a lot to be thankful for this year! We moved…and I’m so thankful that all went well, that we have made a great decision for our future, that we are settling in! I’m thankful, yes seriously, to Rowan Yarns for their Rowan Connect events! I like (ed) to go to knit workshops and travelled yearly, usually to the UK, for events. With Covid all that stopped. (I was just about to get on a plane the Thursday before Canada shut down, but miraculously had made the decision to change plans and not worry about the expense of cancelling.) Rowan Connect is the on line portal for all things educational for Rowan. They held their first 2 day event this Spring and I attended! It was great to be at home (in your pjs if you wanted) and be able to zoom into pres...
