Movievision Monday (2)

This is my new, second meme that was originally about all the lovely movies I watch. But then I wanted to also add tv shows too because it seems too repetitive to have movies one day and tv the other. So I might as well put it all together in one post!

Skins: I heard about this show on BBC when they had a promo for it. I had no idea what it was about but, hey, it has British teens so I may as well. After I watched the first episode on YouTube, I watched the rest of the season on Netflix-it's free! Now I'm on to the 2nd season and I couldn't be any more fufilled. I love this show! It's exactly the kind of show we need in the US but I'm sure it wouldn't be alooud because it is kind of graphic and a little inappropriate.

Deadly Women: I'm addicted to this show and it's host station, ID, in general. Iit's so great but you kind of go a little crazy if you watch it all day-like I can't help but do some days. It's basically a crime show that showcases women who've murdered or raped or done something criminal. And the part I like best is they reenact the person's life but don't show the crime. And they also don't show the real person's or the victim's face. Which is great because then you feel a little less like it's real.

Edge Of Darkness: I honestly didn't want to watch this movie because it seemed like a rip-off of Taken with the wonderful Liam Neeson. But I realized it was very different from it but that doesn't mean I liked it. I though Mel did an alright acting job but I didn't believe what he was putting off. The story was pretty good- a father finding out about his daughter's life after she's killed while she's visiting him. Just something about this movie turned me off. Could it be his real life? Maybe.

I was just going to do an ol' regular post about a few movies I just recently saw, but then I thought I should just create a weekly post. Because I watch movies all the time and I always want to do posts on the good and really bad ones but I somehow never get around to it. So maybe...if I know my readers are expecting a post, I'll be able to do it!

Anna is a successful woman living in Chicago with an equally successful boyfriend. She believes he's going to ask her to marry him and when he doesn't she decides to go to Dublin and ask him herself on Leap Year. But she has some difficulty getting there and must rely on a bar owner to help her....I'm not a huge fan of Amy Adams but I absolutely adored this movie. The comedy and romance was perfect! Matthew Goode is one my list of future husbands now! I don't know if the 12.5% of me that's Irish came out or what, but I got so turned on by Declan's accent! You have to watch this movie. It's exciting, funny, and romantic but not a cliche.

After a fight with her boss, a wife and mother is convicted of murdering her boss after work. Her husband does everything in his power to get his wife another trial and prove her nnocencce but when all hope is lost he only has one option. To bail his wife out of prison....I saw this in theaters a few days ago and did not think it would be as great as it was. I was surprised because it was kind of low-budget but I think it made the story more real. Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks are amazing. And there's a small scene with the wonderful Liam Neeson! Every scene in this movie was interesting and intense. Seriously one of the best movies I've seen.

In 1954, U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels is investigating the disappearance of a murderess who escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane and is presumed to be hiding on the remote Shutter Island....AMAZING MOVIE! Someone is my AP Psych class mentioned this movie but I somehow still didn't see what was coming. Leonardo DiCaprio is amazing as always but Mark Ruffalo is awesome too. Actually, every single person in this movie was pretty much perfect. Martin Scorcese just makes another great movie!
