Supernatural review pt 1.

Hey there,
I'm sure nobody out there is really reading this yet but that's really no big deal at this point.  In any case I'm going to start a review of a series that is generally full of AWESOME... but before that a bit of background on me.

I LOVE monster movies! 
I grew up obsessing about GODZILLA and other toho monsters, I watched my first 'scary' movie when I was like 6, and to this day I practically do the pre-teen SQUEEE every time I see a decent movie coming out.  There are some cheap-ass ones out there... pretty much anything that has graced the Sci-Fi... oops I mean SyFy (are they still serious about that crap) channel.  But I still think I have a pretty high tolerance to crap... well higher than most.  Because of this TV series that basically had the premise of a monster of the week show were my crack.  During Highschool I was obsessed with Tremors: The Series, before that I was a Whedon fan with Buffy and Angel, and even cartoons growing up I focused on the big scary monsters that I viewed the same way a little girl looks at unicorns.  I love MONSTERS!

It's because of that that I found my new CRACK which is SUPERNATURAL.  It started off as your basic monster of the week show with a very awesome story line.  A father and his two boys lose their mother in a most horrific way... she is up on the ceiling as she bursts into flames.  As the authorities are taking care of the collateral damage you can see the mixture of loss in his eyes and as well as the anger and determination to find out what did this and to kill it.  Fast forward 22 years later and the boys are all grown up and they and their daddy are full blown monster hunters... not the most stable of family lives mind you but after something that big happening you can tell that a normal family life just isn't part of the equation.  Episode one establishes season 1's main story arc which is the two brothers Dean (the oldest) and Sam (the youngest) trying to find their father who has been on a hunt and missing for some time.  It keeps up the awesome through the episodes and even gives a nifty little cliff-hanger at the end of season 1 just to keep you wanting to find out what happens next. 

I'd give more spoilers out but then I wouldn't have anything to write about. 

So, I will leave you with the knowledge that I will be hopefully be writing a review for every episode of season 1 and if all goes well I will be doing the same for the other 5 seasons (continuing hopefully with season 7 when they start putting out episodes in september.)

Until then... "Okay, be good!"

First day in a new place

Well hello out there in Internet Land. 

I have not blogged in forever so I figured I'd start up again.  I was on livejournal for a while however because I haven't posted in quite a  number of years and really don't want to bother trying to remember my password for that place I'm just going to leave it alone and start fresh. 

Another Reason why I'm starting fresh is because my old blog turned into my angsting or whining about things that have been happening in my personal life.  And the last year of posting I think revolved around my girlfriend or just my love life in general.  In any case I am trying to step as far away from that as I possibly can.  I'm going to try and step away from my personal life when I can at all help it and instead do something.  Maybe reviewing.  Hell I've got a whole wall full of movies and TV series practically so why not do that.  In time I'm sure I'll figure something to do with this little wafer thin slice of the web.

More to come later but for now I am always open to relative questions and constructive comments and criticism. 


And in the words of White Pantera "Okay be good!"
