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.

Bead Whimsey with Sivia Harding That was the name of the class that I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic.  I have attended many workshops in my time, so it takes a special workshop to catch my attention. Do you know her? I have to admit, I wasn't aware of Sivia's work until it was announced that she was the special guest for the Frolic. When I did some research on line, I was intrigued by her beaded knits and signed up right away! "Bead Whimsey" did not disappoint! Sivia brought so many examples of her beaded knits. We talked about the different beads available out in the bead wor...
