Express Yourself - Movies

The Express Yourself meme is co-hosted by Dani and Jackie. Each week bloggers answer a different question, so they can get to know each other better.


This week's question is: What are the last two movies you saw?

At the cinema:

- Iron Man 3 - I'm a big avengers geek at the minute, and Iron Man is my favourite so of course I loved the film. The humour in it was fantastic, and balanced out the action and emotional side of the movie really well.

- The Host - I'd been looking forward to this since I found out there would be a movie, because I loved the book so much. The movie was great, although there were things missing from the book, but that's to be expected!

At home:

- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One - I had a migraine on Friday, and the only things I can do when I have one are sleep or watch stuff, so my sister and I decided to watch it. It was awesome, of course! It didn't cure my headache, but it at least distracted me for a little while.

- The Avengers - I told you I was an avengers geek at the minute! I'd seen Iron Man the day before, so I wanted to see The Avengers again.

    I haven't been to the cinema in yeas, mainly because I refuse to pay exhorbitant prices. At home my last two movies were Star Trek V and Lost in Space. I know the Star Trek one isn't particularly good, but I'm going through the films in order and found a few things to enjoy in it.

    The Avengers is just amazing Laura, I'm such a big Marvel fan and adore the entire universe so I endorse both things although I've actually never seen Iron Man film before! I know it's weird but it's mainly just because I haven't got around to it, by the time the second one was out I didn't want to watch it without seeing the second and vice versa. Despite him being my favourite Avenger from the movie his films are the only ones of the Avengers superheroes that I haven't watched!

    It is a very long tome since I went to a cinema, I guess being so rural I need to drive and the nearest decent cinema is about twenty miles away so it never happens.

    Ironically we recently watched Avengers again. In 3D. Just an amazing movie.

    I never did get around to seeing The Host at the cinema. I'm intrigued to see how they dealt with her conversations with herself in her head. Maybe I'll put it on my rental list.

    My husband and I had a Harry Potter movie marathon in the week between Christmas and New Year's - so much fun! This past weekend, we watched "Dark Skies" on DVD - good and creepy. :)

    I love the Avengers too! I tried schwarma for the first time recently, and thought of Iron Man.

    Aloha Laura,

    hope the headache is better - or the movies get more exciting :)

    I also wanted to say thanks very much for stopping by and commenting on my recent D-Day post. (I'm still working through all the comments!)

    CSM Ryan's story has received an incredible amount of support and a HUGE *Thank you* goes to DL Hammons - and all the Blitzers :)

    PS: Bill said to let everyone know he really appreciated all the personal comments directed his way :)

    The last film I watched at the cinema was Identity Thief (which I loved) but can't remember what the one before that was - it's been a while.

    At home it was probably Pixar films.

    I saw Iron Man 3 on opening day and I LOVED it. I can't wait to see it again. I also loved the Avengers. Guess I'm a geek, too.

    I've seen all of those mentioned except for "The Host"...not a huge Meyers fan. I'm surprised my wife hasn't wanted to drag me to it yet, though :)

    The last thing I saw at the movies was Sightseers, a British comedy about a couple who go on a caravanning holiday and start killing people. At home I watched Ronin again last night as it is one of my favourites.

WEP August - Change of Heart

So I actually wrote this piece for April's WEP, but I was ill so didn't get to post it in the end. I'm quite glad, as it suits this month's theme so much more. Change of Heart ‘Are you ready for this?’ Paul asked. Brian nodded, trying to steady his shaking hands. ‘You’re the only one who can defeat him,’ Molly said. ‘We believe in you.’ She stepped back to join Paul. Brian balled his fists as he looked at the huge stone doors before him. He took a deep breath and pushed them open. Before the doors closed, Brian glimpsed Paul and Molly turn and begin to walk away. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the darkness inside. With a whispered word he created light in the palm of his hand, raising it so it would light up the room. It was empty apart from another doorway, much smaller than the first, hidden away in the corner. Brian marched through it and found himself in a large chamber, lit by many flickering candles mounted along the walls. Someone stoo

The Insecure Writer's Support Group was created by Alex J. Cavanaugh as a place where writers can talk about their insecurities once a month, and receive encouragement and support from other writers. It's such an amazing group, it even has its own website now, which you can visit here . This week I'm a co-host! Be sure to go to Alex's page and visit the other people who are co-hosting.  I had such great plans for my writing this month, but not one of them came through. There were three short stories I wanted to get written, and I also wanted to get back to my NaNo edits, but none of that happened. I still have a little time for one of the short stories, though; it's for Kyra Lennon's cat anthology , and it's due Friday! Not much time to do it, but I made a commitment and I will follow through with it!  Even though I haven't got much writing done in the last month (or the couple before that!) I'm not going to let it get me down. I'

A is for Arachne and Arlee!

Before I get to my Greek Mythology part of this post, at the request of Alex J. Cavanaugh  (great idea by the way, Alex!), I'd first like to thank Arlee Bird for coming up with the challenge in the first place. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be taking part in this amazing experience every year. Thanks, Arlee! This is one of my favourite tales from Greek mythology, so naturally I chose it for my first letter. Arachne was the daughter of a shepherd, and was famous for the beautiful tapestries she weaved. Nymphs would travel from all over to see her work, and to watch her weave. One day, a nymph asked her if her talent was a gift from the goddess Athena. Arachne protested, saying her skill was all her own, and that her weaving was better than Athena's. Athena heard of this, and challenged the girl to a weaving contest. Both sat at their looms and began to weave, nymphs gathering round to watch. Athena weaved a tapestry based on the glories of the gods, showing the
