Series Review: Rome


27 Feb

Finally finished watchingRomethis weekend.

The series was very good, and we are thrilled when we see either Lucius Vorenus or Titus Pullo in other shows and movies. (And no, I have no idea what the actors’ names are. They will forever be Vorenus and Pullo to me.)

There were some parts where the series lagged, and we wondered why we kept watching it. Then we would watch the next episode and go- oh yeah, that’s why.

The series ending was fulfilling. I liked how most of the storylines were wrapped up, and how some were brought full circle.

Just watched: Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief


17 May

We watched Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief the other night. I happen to love both Sean Bean and Kevin McKidd, so it was great to see them as Zeus and Poseidon. It was a fun teenaged action adventure movie that we both enjoyed very much.

However, it did get my husband started on a rant about the tropes used in young adult literature. I didn’t have the same problem as I felt the story was meant as an introduction to Greek mythology, not something aimed at those of us who have been studying it for 20 years.
