DVD Collection Update (20)

Another update, some really cool movies and series to add to my collection. Here they are!

Off course I had to get "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1". I can't wait for the final movie. This movie I really liked, but I think the bigger audience will appreciate it more when the last chapter comes out.

This season was the final chapter of the series. I really hated "Sons of Anarchy" ending, but it was time. I think that it had to end. Lots of people died in this last season, some characters we really come to love over the years.

"The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" was really criticized, but I don't understand. It was a good movie. Okay, it was the least one in the series, but it was very enjoyable and beautifully made! Screw those people, I love it.

"Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" was on of my favorite 2014 movies. This is just awesome, so it had to be in my collection!

Oh how I love "Intouchables". Such a beautiful movie, it makes me happy!

"Cloud Atlas" was a pretty confusing movie, so time to rewatch it. And I also bought it because I can add another Tom Hanks movie to my collection.

"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is also favorite of 2014. I slightly prefered it too the first movie. It just shows how amazing this superhero is, he is actually my favorite superhero. And Chris Evans is just amazing as Cap.

Haven't seen "Chef" yet, but I already know I'm going to love this film. I just love these tyes of movies. And it has a great cast. And I love food.

"Whiplash" is a movie I had to have in my collection. When I first saw it, I wanted to get up in cheer, that's how good it was!

 

I'm a big fan of the Disney cartoon "Beauty and the Beast" and I can't wait to see the live action version it. Untill then I have to do it with the French "La Belle et La Bête". I haven't seen it yet, but it looks like a darker version of the fairytale.

DVD Collection Update (18)

It's been a while since the last update, I just simply didn't buy any movies or series for a long time. But Santa was good to me with some new additions to my collection and some giftcards. So here are the Dvd's I received and bought.

Off course I needed this fourth season of "The Walking Dead". We're in the middle of season 5 now. What I liked about season 4 is that the group was seperated and all the characters got a bit more attention.

I found "Blood Diamond" for only 1 Euro. That's practically nothing! I've seen the movie before, it's really good. Haven't watched it since I got it though.

"Sons of Anarchy" has already ended, but we still have the Dvd's. I'm still waiting for season 7 to come out, but season 6 was a present from my brother for my 30th birthday. Really cool. He is currently watching it with my mom.

I bought this the day it came out, because I loved this movie so much. And I rewatched "Guardians of the Galaxy" yesterday. And I know that it will be watched many many times. It's just such an awesome film, can't wait for the sequel. But for now, "Guardians of the Galaxy" is enough to keep me happy.

I hope that one day I will have every Disney animation ever made. I got a bit closer with getting "Oliver & Company". I remember seeing it in theatres (in 1988) and I never saw it again after that. So, this is a welcome gift.

And I also got "Frozen", another Disney movie. This movie is great, I love the characters, story and songs. "Love is an Open Dooooooooooor!"

Something else for a change, a music DVD. It's a Foo Fighters concert in Hyde Park. Like the two Disney movies, this was a Christmas gift from my brother. I didn't even now this DVD excisted, so that makes it even cooler.

I recently saw "Edge of Tomorrow" with a link on the internet and I didn't really expect that much. Well, was I wrong. It blew me away and ended up being one of my favorite 2014 movies. Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt really kick some ass in "Edge of Tomorrow". I ended up buying it today.

Also a movie I saw in 2014, but then in theatres, was "Godzilla". It really did justice to the Original and I just had to own in on DVD. So I bought it today.

Top 5 Thursday: Saddest Deaths on "Sons of Anarchy"

The series finale aired this week and it was epic. I’m sad “Sons of Anarchy” has ended, but I also think it was the right time for it. Some great moments we shared with the guys and we lost some great characters along the way. Here are the five saddest deaths on “Sons of Anarchy”.

5. Bobby Munson (Season 7)

He was probably the most loyal club member of them all. After his finger and eye were taken already, he was shot by August Marks, right in front of Jax and the guys.

 

 

4. Otto Delaney (Season 6)

We know Kurt Sutter killed off many people on the show, but the character he portrays himself probably had the hardest role. His life of torture and suffering was ended by a bunch of guards after Otto killed Lee Toric.

 

 

3. Wayne Unser (Season 7)

I think everyone expected him to die sooner, because he had cancer. But he made it a long way. He was killed by Jax in the episode before the series finale and I hated that. I really wanted Unser to make it to the end.

 

 

2. Juan Carlos ‘Juice’ Ortiz (Season 7)

One of the sweetest characters of the show spend the entire season 7 hiding and running from the club. Juice helped Gemma to cover the murder of Tara. After telling Jax about it when Juice was in jail, he was ready to leave this life. Fellow inmate Tully stabbed him in the neck.

 

 

1. Harry ‘Opie’ Winston (Season 5)

Opie probably died in the most brutal way of them all. The fan favourite died in particularly brutal fashion (a pipe to the back of the head) after volunteering to take one for the team. Epecially his best friend Jax, while they are in prison. It was violent. It was devastating.

 

 

They Almost Made the Top 5: Half-Sack, Piney Winston (Season 4), Donna Winston (Season 1), Gemma Teller (Season 7) Tara Knowles (Season 6), Jax Teller (Season 7)

DVD Collection Update (7)

It's been a while since I did a DVD Collection update. But it has been my birthday las week and I ran into some great bargains. So some great purchases.

I wanted to get this collection for a while and I was super cheap this time. So all the episodes from "Monty Pyhton's Flying Circus" in one DVD box. This is such intelligent humor!

I bought this movie after seeing "Elysium", because both movies were directed by Neil Blomkamp. And I just wanted to own this beautiful steelbook.





Sorry that I don't have a picture yet, because I lend the box to my brother, but I finally got season six of "Sons of Anarchy". It's one of my favorite shows of the moment.

How long have I been waiting for this? This book is amazing and I already saw the movie. The book is better, but I really loved "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close".

I'm most proud on this purchase. I walked passed this boxset so many times, but it was on sale and I just couldn't resist buying it. I love "Prison Break"> It Always made me nervous and I only watched the show once, so it's like experiencing for the first time all over again.

The next three Dvd's were gifts for my birthday. "Lady and the Tramp" is such an adorable movie. Eating spaghetti has never been the same.

And don't you just love "Up". Disney Always touches me right in the heart.

Both Disney Dvd's were from my brother and "Life of Pi" I got from my friends Irene and Evelien. I read the book, but haven't seen the movie yet. Very excited about it!

Top 5 Thursday: Male TV Characters of the Moment

I recently listed my favourite female characters of the moment. Now it’s time for the boys. That was a lot harder, because there is more to choose from. Here they are.

5. Daryl Dixon in “The Walking Dead”
Didn’t like him in the beginning, but he kind of grew on me. Daryl has a big mouth, but he has a heart of gold.

4. Philip “Chibs” Telford in “Sons of Anarchy”
If you need someone to rely on, and then I mean really always rely on, Chibs is your guy. There isn’t anything he wouldn’t do for you. But don’t make him your enemy, because then you’re a dead man.

3. Phil Dunphy in “Modern Family”
He’s quirky and he’s always trying a bit to hard, but isn’t that why everyone loves Phil? Well, I do. I think Phil is awesome.

2. Dean Winchester in “Supernatural”
What’s not to love? Dean is a great guy, he’s tough, cool, sexy, great taste in music and a loyal brother to Sam. And somehow Dean never dies, ok he does but he always returns.

1. Nick Stokes in “CSI”
Still standing strong in my top 5. This can only change if the show isn’t on television anymore. Nick is a great CSI, kind, smart, loyal and helpful. Seriously, how can you dislike Nick?

They Almost Made the Top 5: Greg Sanders in “CSI”, Dexter Morgan in “Dexter”, Cameron Pritchett in “Modern Family”, Jackson Avery in “Grey’s Anatomy”, Alan Harper in “Two and a Half Men”, Sheldon Cooper in “The Big Bang Theory”, Juan Carlos “Juice” Ortic in “Sons of Anarchy”

Top 5 Thursday: Female TV Characters of the Moment

I like a strong leading character in a TV show, but mostly it’s the guys. Really? I found some great women who shine between all those guys. These are the female characters I love the most at the moment.

5. Deb Morgan in “Dexter”
I started to follow this show recently, but I still need to rewatch the entire series sometime. Deb is great, although she has some issues.

4. Tara Knowles in “Sons of Anarchy”
Tara really transformed in this show. She is really part of the club now and sometimes she even handles things the Gemma-way.

3. Maggie Greene in “The Walking Dead”
I liked her from the beginning. She lost a lot of her loved ones, but she learned how to deal with it and how to kick ass!

2. Morgan Brody in “CSI”
Morgan had a guest appearance once and when I heard she was getting a regular role I was excited. I like her, she is a great addition to the team and she’s very smart.

1. Claire Dunphy in “Modern Family”
I don’t like to admit it, but sometimes I’m a little bit like Claire. Maybe that’s why I love her so much. Claire is a hands-on mom and she likes to have control. And although Phil is a bit of a cluts, she loves him unconditionally.

They Almost Made the Top 5: Gloria Pritchett in “Modern Family”, Julie Finlay in “CSI”, Meredith Grey in “Grey’s Anatomy”

Top 5 Thursday: Sexiest Men on TV of the Moment

If I had to do a list of TV actors of all-time it probably has to be a top 100, because a top 5 of 2013 was already hard enough. Here is my choice of sexiest men on TV 2013.

5. Andrew Lincoln (“The Walking Dead”)
He’s not my favourite character, but I think he’s slightly more attractive then Norman Reedus. I already loved this guy in “Love Actually”, where he melted my heart…

4. Ian Somerhalder (“The Vampire Diaries”)
Although I stopped watching this show, I remember why I started to watch it in the first place. Ian Somerhalder hypnotizes you with his handsomeness.

3. Theo Rossi (“Sons of Anarchy”)
What can I say, his character Juice isn’t the brightest star but he’s definitely great for the female eye. I can understand why his nickname on the show is Juice. I started to like him as a character as well, he’s my second favorite.

2. George Eads (“CSI")
Still staying strong after thirteen seasons of my favourite show “CSI” and about to kick of the 14th season! I love his Texas charm.

1. Jensen Ackles (“Supernatural")
Frequent readers of my blog probably predicted this. Jensen Ackles is still on TV and he’s the most handsome man I’ve ever seen. He’s perfect in every way.

They Almost Made the Top 5: Alex O’Loughlin in “Hawaii Five-O”, Norman Reedus in “The Walking Dead”, Charlie Hunnam in “Sons of Anarchy”, Jesse Williams in “Grey’s Anatomy”

Emma Stone, Sons of Anarchy and Michelle Williams

I made four new wallpapers and I'm actually quite happy with all of them. The first features Emma Stone, lovely Emma.

Than I also made two wallpapers of one of my favorite TV-shows "Sons of Anarchy". First one with Theo Rossi and the second one features my two favorite characters Juice and Chibs.

Last, but definitely not least, Michelle Williams. The pictures are from a photshoot as Marilyn Monroe for her movie "My Week with Marilyn".

They are all pretty much in the same style,but that's how I like it. Feel free to use them on your own computer.
