The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec...

AKA Les aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec, which turned out to be my fave French movie, right after Amélie :D

It's a movie based on a comic (I think) and it follows the adorable journalist Adèle Blanc-Sec in early 20th century France. In the beginning of the movie she goes to Egypt to find herself some artifacts and when she comes back home it turns out that a pterodactyl's using Paris as it's backyard. I don't want to give away too many details about the story because I really think that anyone that's into movies like Indiana Jones or the Librarian should watch this :D Also, if you like Amélie you should watch this as well, not just because they're both French movies, but because the way they're filmed (and the humor) is very similar.

The story's a bit messy at times, but the dialogues, costumes and just overall cuteness make up for that big time.

Spartacus: Blood and Sand.....

The last week or so I've spent more time hanging on my couch or in my bed than on my feet due to the flu and other nasty things, but there's always something positive that comes out of being sick and this time it was my new love for Spartacus :D

I've always loved the original movie with Kirk Douglas, so when I found out there was a new (supposedly really gory and hot) series I couldn't wait. Unfortunately the dutch tv-network that was responsible for airing it decided it needed an unhuman timeslot, which means I ended up only seeing 2 or 3 episodes before the first season was over :(

So, because I was sick, a friend of mine brought over his dvd's and I watched them all! I suggest you all do the same (unless half naked people on your tv screen every 5 seconds freak you out, then this really isn't the show for you).

Best things about it:
- An actual story-line that (most of the time) makes quite a bit of sense
- The costumes! They should win an oscar (along with the ones on the Tudors)
- More than enough action to keep you entertained
- A handful of lovestories to even out all the action
- Lots of naked people! (I'm not one that minds, clearly)
