Speed

Prepare yourself for an abundance of exclamation points and capslock abuse because I frickin' LOVE THIS MOVIE LIKE WHOA!!! \o/

This is a breathtaking action piece. Perfection pure. Non-stop action. Fantastic actors. An unforgettable tune! Simply terrific. The only movie that has ever come close to being this good, action wise, was Fast Five - yet another film that's enthralling because of its action AND characters! Seriously, every director who's about to make an action movie should study this one. It's simply amazing.

I love all three acts for very different reasons:
Act 1 - the elevator - because of the fantastic introduction of Jack Traven and Harry Temple. I just loved the banter between them. Jack's "Shoot the hostage!" was an instant classic. So much action and humor!
Act 2 - the bus - the main part of the movie with so many twists and turns and surprises and non-stop action. There was always something happening. So much suspense! Jack getting on the bus! Finding the bomb! The race through the city! Jack trying to defuse the bomb! \o/ \o/ \o/
Act 3 - the train - Jack and Annie! JACK AND ANNIE! For me, they are one of the most beautiful movie couples ever! His decision to stay with her and just hold her while the train was about to crash. Aww...

Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are... I mean... For REAL!!! So much chemistry! Jack was so determined to save the bus, yet so kind to everybody in it. Annie was driving the bus while being amazingly awesome. And their instant romance! Seriously, by the end of the movie, the characters had known each other for exactly 4 hours! And yet...







Really, truly beautiful. You just wanted Jack and Annie to become a couple and be happy for ever and ever amen!

That's why I hated, HATED the sequel. Really hated. They should have never made it, especially once Keanu Reeves dropped out. In my head canon, Annie dumped Alex and went back to Jack once it really hit her that Alex had been lying to her the whole FRICKIN' time, despite knowing about her issues. In my head canon, Annie returned to Jack because she told herself that, if she was meant to end up with a SWAT officer anyway - as it was the case, obviously - she could have stayed with Jack who never, ever lied to her. Yeah, I'm so convinced of that, my fingers literally itch to write that fic. Because Jack and Annie were meant to be!

God, I just love these two...



I'm a slasher at heart but there are a few het couples that really get to me. And Jack and Annie are one of them - just like Neo and Trinity...

If you haven't seen this movie, you should rectify that immediately!!! You won't be sorry!

Warehouse 13 306-309

So, I wanted to watch some TV shows today but when I opened the folder with the currently running series, I felt bored just looking at the files. Really, nothing spoke to me. I don't know why. So I decided to catch up on some older stuff, like Warehouse 13. There I got stuck around the middle of the previous season. And thus I watched episodes 306 through 309.

Ep 306 was really silly and actually quite boring. I never liked Fargo much.

Ep 307 was much better and I just loved the teams, Myka & Pete and Claudia & Steve. I'm glad that the plot with Myka's ex's murder is finally over.

Ep 308 was excellent, what with the regents and the building and poor Steve's insubordination and Claudia's reaction to the consequences.

Ep 309 was... not as good, mostly because I wanted to shake Pete and tell him to grow up. Parents aren't obligated to share their secrets with their children.

3 more eps to go in S3 and 10 eps in S4!

You know, I started watching the show because I liked the partnership between Myka and Pete. During S2, the show went downhill terribly but all that was rectified in S3 through the arrival of Steve Jinks. And now I'm staying because I love the friendship between him and Claudia, they are so perfect together, like real siblings. Beautiful.
