Remember that movie?

I was looking around for a film to watch the other day to keep my movie watching experience going and I was looking over the 80 or so films on my Netflix Instant watch list and I was in a bit of a Sci Fi mood. So I picked "Fire in the Sky" off my list and started watching it.  As it went on I thought to myself this seems familiar....

It happened to be one of the movies that haunted me as a kid. I never could remember the name or anything about it other than it had an Alien prob scene that just gave me nightmares, the little grey aliens and all that stuff....Well it was this movie.

I have to say of course It isnt nearly as scary as it was when i was younger but to this day the Aliens look frigging creepy! Very well done for them to hold up this many years later. Still a pretty solid film too.

I also went ahead and watched the original "Lord of the Flies" since it was on my list from netflix(need to try and get that list down a bit so i can add more) But this wasnt as good of an experience as the movie before it was. It just doesnt live up as well as i had hoped. The Black and white doesnt bother me but the audio was horrible and the kids did what they could(considering back then they didnt even know what they had been doing) but Still it was a let down. But does make me look forward to "The Hunger Games" even more, I hope they dont screw that movie up. Loved the books.

Watched a movie called "Buying the cow" which has a younger Ryan Reynolds in it, Nice to see how far he has come but that he was still a very good actor and a movie star even earlier in his career, he just has that it factor for me to enjoy a movie even just for him.

"The Social Network" received its second viewing from me yesterday as I finally bought it and had my mom give it a view, she also enjoyed it. Doubtful she liked it as much as I did but oh well. I must say the Soundtrack on my sound system was even more awesome than when i first watched it.

Now as far as TV shows go, I started "The IT Crowd" Series 4 the other day and well I already finished it. Man I reALly enjoy that series as a whole. Such a great cast of characters that just blend so well. I just hate how short the seasons are... only six episodes.... But As far as I know all the seasons are on netflix instant so give it a try, a Geeky British comedy.


As this is typed "Repo! The Genetic Opera" is entertaining me an making it hard to focus on this. So i will now leave you alone until next time anyways.
