Pic Spam: Academy Awards 2014

I saw the Academy Awards last night and I Always love to watch this glitter & glamour evening. This is the only night that I allow myself to feel a bit of hedonism. It's been a while since I've done a pic spam (december!) and I decided to do something new. So I'm going to share some pictures from last night's Academy Awards. My favorite stars, moments, shots, you name it.

Quotables: "The Avengers"

This is the ultimate superhero movie! Filled with fantastic and good looking actors and actresses, loveable characters and great quotes. Here are some of my favorite quotes from "The Avengers".






Tony Stark: [to Thor] No hard feelings Point Break, you've got a mean swing.

Steve Rogers: Is everything a joke to you?
Tony Stark: Funny things are.

Steve Rogers: Stark, we need a plan of attack!
Tony Stark: I have a plan: attack!

Steve Rogers: Doctor Banner, I think now might be a good time for you to get angry.
Bruce Banner: That's my secret, Cap: I'm always angry.
[Banner hulks out and punches the Leviathan]

Steve Rogers: Thor, what's his play?
Thor: He has an army, called the Chitauri. They're not of Asgard or any world known. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the Earth. In return, I suspect, for the Tesseract.
Steve Rogers: An army. From outer space.
Bruce Banner: So he's building another portal. That's what he needs Erik Selvig for.
Thor: Selvig?
Bruce Banner: He's an astrophysicist.
Thor: He's a friend.
Natasha Romanoff: Loki has them under some kind of spell. Along with one of ours.
Steve Rogers: I wanna know why Loki let us take him. He's not leading an army from here.
Bruce Banner: I don't think we should be focusing on Loki. That guy's brain is a bag full of cats. You can smell crazy on him.
Thor: Have a care how you speak! Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard and he is my brother!
Natasha Romanoff: He killed eighty people in two days.
Thor: He's adopted.

Tony Stark: I thought we were having a moment.
Pepper Potts: I was having 12% of a moment.

Tony Stark: [to Bruce Banner] You really have got a lid on it, haven't you? What's your secret? Mellow jazz? Bongo drums? Huge bag of weed?

Nick Fury: Having trouble sleeping?
Steve Rogers: I've been asleep for 70 years. I think I've had enough rest.

Natasha Romanoff: [watching the aliens come toward them] This is just like Budapest all over again.
Clint Barton: You and I remember Budapest very differently.

Tony Stark: [Discussing S.H.I.E.L.D] An intelligence agency that FEARS intelligence? Historically, not awesome.

Agent Phil Coulson: You're at 114 Solenski Plaza, 3rd floor. We have an F-22 exactly 8 miles out. Put the woman on the phone or I will blow up the block before you can make the lobby.

Steve Rogers: How can you not trust Fury?
Tony Stark: He's a spy, he's THE spy. His secrets have secrets.

Agent Phil Coulson: [on the phone] I'll brief you on everything when you get back. But first, we need you to talk to the big guy.
Natasha Romanoff: Coulson, you know that Stark trusts me about as far as he can throw me.
Agent Phil Coulson: Oh, I've got Stark. You get the big guy.
[Natasha looks nervous, realizing he means the Hulk]

Natasha Romanoff: Gentlemen, you might want to step inside in a minute. It's going to get a little hard to breathe.
[as the Helicarrier starts to power up, Steve Rogers and Bruce Banner walk to the edge]
Steve Rogers: Is this a submarine?
Bruce Banner: Really? They want me submerged in a pressurized metal container?
[Rogers and Banner stand at the edge and they look over as the Helicarrier starts to slowly rise out of the ocean to fly]
Bruce Banner: [smiles] Oh, no, this is MUCH worse!

In the Picture: The Characters from "The Avengers"

I went to see “The Avengers” a couple of weeks ago and it’s all about the spectacle and the action. It’s awesome especially when you watch it in the cinema in 3D. But the characters are the ones that make the movie, because we all know them and it’s so cool that they team up. So here they are.

Tony Stark/ Iron Man
Played by: Robert Downey Jr.
Tony Stark is a self-described genius, billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist with a mechanical suit of armor of his own invention. Because of the good sense of humor you forgive him for his arrogance.

Steve Rogers/ Captain America
Played by: Chris Evans
Steve is a World War II veteran who now has to survive in the present day. He got his strength through a physical experiment, but he already had the brain and heart of a true soldier. Steve is selfless, pretty quiet and doesn’t want to be in the spotlight. Maybe that’s why he and Tony don’t really get along.

Dr. Bruce Banner/ The Hulk
Played by: Mark Ruffalo
Bruce is a genius scientist who, because of exposure to gamma radiation, transforms into a monster when enraged or excited. He’s struggling with two sides of himself and everything he does in his life is filtered through issues of control.

Thor
Played by: Chris Hemsworth
Thor is the God of thunder. He constantly has to battle his brother Loki, who chose the darker side. Thor is very strong, calm and the only one who can handle the hammer.

Natasha Romanoff/ Black Widow
Played by: Scarlett Johansson
Natasha is a highly trained spy who works for S.H.I.E.L.D. She has no special powers, but Natasha is a very skilled fighter and she’s clever. She has a long history with Clint Barton, but no one knows exactly what their connection is.

Clint Barton/ Hawkeye
Played by: Jeremy Renner
Like Natasha, Clint is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. He is a master archer, but bit of an outcast with the other members of The Avengers. The only connection he has is with Natasha.

Loki
Played by: Tom Hiddleston
Loki is Thor’s adopted brother and nemesis. The reason he came to earth was to rule it and all of mankind. Loki has a big army.

Nick Fury
Played by: Samuel L. Jackson
Nick is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the coordinator of The Avengers Initiative. In order to get to all the heroes for the initiative, he’s not completely honest to them. He isn’t a bad guy though, you just don’t want to cross him.

Favorite Character: Steve Rogers/ Captain America

Movie Tip #20 - Die Hard with a Vengeance

Director: John McTiernan

Starring: Bruce Willis, Jeremy Irons, Samuel L. Jackson, Graham Greene

Description: John McClane (Bruce Willis) is now almost a full-blown alcoholic and is suspended from the NYPD. But when a bomb goes off in the Bonwit Teller Department Store the police go insane trying to figure out what's going on. Soon, a man named Simon calls and asks for McClane. Simon tells Inspector Walter Cobb that McClane is going to play a game called "Simon Says". He says that McClane is going to do the tasks he assigns him. If not, he'll blow off another bomb. With the help of a Harlem electrician, John McClane must race all over New York trying to figure out the frustrating puzzles that the crafty terrorist gives him. But when a bomb goes off in a subway station right by the Federal Reserve things start to get heated up.

Review: It's my favourite Die Hard movie. And I just love John McClane. This is how an action movie should be. These days they don't make them this good anymore. I like Willis in his role and together with Samuel L Jackson he makes a great duo. The action blows your mind and it's very exciting to watch. Two hours pure entertainment. And the more he swears, drinks and smokes.... I still love John McClane.
