How to Train Your Dragon

☞ Trailer

The most obvious thing I can say that shows how much I love this movie is that if I didn't have homework to do right now I would be watching How to Train Your Dragon for the third time this week. The dragon in this movie, Toothless, is the most adorable thing I've ever seen. I am a pretty big fan of animated movies and of DreamWorks and this movie does not disappoint. At first I was wary of it because of all the hype I'd heard about it and usually when I hear that a movie was really good I don't think it's actually that great. This is definitely an exception to that.

The first funny thing about this movie is that the protagonist's name is Hiccup which they say in the movie is so that the trolls stay away or something like that. Hiccup is different from the other vikings in the village where he lives because he is incapable of killing dragons even though he is expected to. When he finds Toothless, he tries to tame him and Toothless' little quirks are hilarious. At one point Toothless draws a line in the sand with a tree branch and gets mad when Hiccup steps on where he drew.

I don't think it matters what kind of movies you like unless you only like horror films and don't like cute movies; you'll like this movie. It's got a little bit of everything in it really.

I give it 10/10

True Blood

Well, since this blog is pretty much my way of keeping track of what I've watched, I put this show on here even though I only watched three full episodes. Either way, I'm not giving it a rating because it's not fair to judge it based on the small amount of it that I did watch. I know I've watched the first few episodes of True Blood before, but seeing how I always get sucked into like eight different shows at once. I didn't get sucked into True Blood though.(pun intended), I only manage to keep up with a few of them. So I started to rewatch True Blood and try to remember if I liked it or not.

Starting on the first episode, I did remember bits and pieces of it. This show is yet another of the plethora (I like that word) of shows that are about vampires and love and supernatural stufff like that. Except this time, the vampires have southern drawls which at first is funny but then gets annoying. The way Bill says "Sookie" which is the main character's name really started to get me annoyed. But the main reason I stopped watching is because everything was about sex and every other scene seemed to have some kind of sex going on. Either weird vampire/human sex or human/human sex was happening. But either way, it got repetitive. Maybe I would have continued watching if I could really see a plot line developing at all, but I couldn't really, and so it seemed that the whole show was just about the relationship between Bill and Sookie. And I don't like my vampires tame; I like them murdering, not falling in love (unless it's with me). So unless you're looking for a much less tame version of Twilight or The Vampire Diaries or whatever other vampire shows/movies you can think of with all the supernatural romance stuff, here's True Blood.
