Watching Lately

Since I am way over due to post. I thought I would tell you some of the movies and TV series I have started watching since I came home.

1. Ender’s Game

          I just saw this movie last night. It was great. The main theme seemed to be leadership; It chronicled the story a 15 yr. old boy that was destined to be the one to save the world. He had to deal with many of the challenges that kids growing up into leaders have to deal with. I particularly related to the part where he was the loner and different. The ending is a great even though it was a surprise.

2. Intelligence

This combines my two favorite things: US government and a hot guy. The main guy has a computer in his head that is connected to the information grid and therefore he can track anyone and do almost anything with a computer. He has a protection detail whose only job is to make sure he doesn’t die because now he is the most expensive piece of US intelligence, so therefore he needs to be protection. Its an interesting combination of realizing he is a person and a machine. It also has the blonde from CSI, and she is surprisingly good.

3. The Originals

I've loved this since I started last year. It has vampires and hot guys what is not to love. I love how both this and The Vampire Diaries go back in time. I love how seeing how the events of the past impacted the characters today and how they react to certain events. It is set in New Orleans, Louisiana  which adds character to it and makes me really want to go there now.
