TV Series: Once Upon A Time

Once Upon A Time

Plot:
Centers on a woman with a troubled past who is drawn into a small town in Maine where the magic and mystery of Fairy Tales just may be real.

I was looking another TV series to occupy me during the hiatus of several I follow (TVD, GA, Supernatural to name a few) because watching the second season of Game of Thrones just wasn’t enough to douse my TV addiction.

A friend raved about the TV series and I downloaded the whole season and guess what? We were done with it by the time a new week rolled in. I love that my kids got to watch it with me, since it’s rated PG (for me anyway) and they can easily identify characters in the series.

Props goes to the series creator and the writers – wow! To be able to conceive that concept of parallelism and tie up all those fairy tales alone was magnificent. I love how they were able to establish the connections of everybody in the cast with one another before the season ended. I was hoping though that magic would not be restored immediately, but it would make for an exciting second season.

I definitely recommend this TV series. One worth watching every week (and no there are no cute guys) – it’s that good for me! I would not waste watching it if it’s not that great when I needed to study commercial insurance quotes for my father in law’s new biz!

Movie: New Year’s Eve

New Year’s Eve celebrates love, hope, forgiveness, second chances and fresh starts, in the intertwining stories told amidst the pulse and promise of New York City on the most dazzling night of the year. — (C) Warner Bros

I feel that this movie failed to come even up to par to Love, Actually (the movie with several stories) just like one of the copycats, Valentine’s Day. There’s no “main story”, no real progression of characters – just perhaps that of Sarah Jessica Parker and Bon Jovi, and well, there were just too many stories to begin with to develop in under ten minutes, let alone 2 hours.

A rather forgettable movie. I would have spent better use of my time trying to create my web site at http://imcreator.com.

A really forgettable movie for me.
