Dexter 8.03

Harrison ate all the popsicles and it looked like a crime scene. Late night eating, we’ve all been there.
Deb keeps getting wasted.
Exactly what my reaction would be if I hit that pole.
It’s just so unusual.
Are we done I need a fucking nap.
How do you know I’m hangover?
Awesome, fucking awesome.
Fuck Dexter I don’t have time for this, you know? I have to find out if some rich asshole is banging some chick which he probably is so that I can tell her and she can get a killer divorce settlement and they can move on with their stupid fucking boring lives. And I can move on with mine. Cause this is my life now.
He could be hunting me right now or he could be selling fitness equipment at the mall.
Yeah its really fucking classy.
When your sister found out who you were and what you were doing why didn’t you kill her?
I would never kill Debra, she’s my sister, I love her.
Selfless love is hard enough for typical people and for psychopaths it’s impossible.
I want you to revel in what you are. I told you you’re perfect.
You’re perfect as a psychopath, all this talk about helping Debra and loving her is like you’re Michaelangelo trying to play banjo.
What the fuck are we doing in this hell hole?
I’ll take a bourbon neat.
You’re a good person. You brought a lot of good to the world.
Have a nice day at the mall.
She just didn’t wanna see it. People get used to living in denial. Its just easier you know.
That’s why the kitchen is so clean, it’s a kill room.
Wasn’t checking my body fat for my own fitness, he was checking to see if I was fit to have as a main course.
Fuck Deb confessed to killing La Guerta.
When Debra killed LaGuerta it was real selfless love. She sacrificed everything she believed in for you.  Can you see that?
That was interesting.
Hold this.
I am perfect, but only at one thing.
You’re disgusting, cannibal consumer of human flash.  There was a time when I couldn’t imagine anyone being what you are, doing what you do, but now I realise I’m just like you, I consume everyone I love.

10/10

Dexter 8.04

Dexter’s need to kill was born in a container much like this one. And he’s been trapped inside its walls ever since. As a psychopath he will never be able to break free, but you can by reliving the events of that night over and over again.
There are countless ways to inflict physical trauma on a human body and sometimes the deadliest wounds are the ones we barely see they run deep like the ones I inflicted on Deb.
Dexter is fucking Dexter.
That night in the container Dexter was exactly who he was meant to be and so were you the loving sister.
Now that mirror is cracked an the only reflection you see is one of darkness.
You are no monster, you never have been.
Anyone on my table would disagree.
Dexter. Monster by definition is outside of nature but you’re a part of natural order of things.
I’ll still want her in my life.
Want her but not need.
Dexter can’t help who he is. He has no conscience Unlike you. You knew the moment you pointed at gun on La Guerta it was wrong and still you pulled a trigger. You shot a woman in cold blood you let her bleed out and did nothing. You shot an innocent woman for simply doing her job.
Because of Dexter.
And that’s what terrifies you the most. You so desperately want to believe that if you had just shot dexter then you wouldn’t have to face the hard truth. That if you had to do it again you’d still choose him, because in your heart you know you’d always choose Dexter.
How do I make it right?
By finally accepting that you are a good person who was forced to do a terrible thing. And that you made the best of an impossible situation. You can walk out that door, you can move forward, the choice is yours it always has been.
Masuka has a daughter!
Somehow he’s deluded himself into thinking his feelings for his sister are genuine unaware there are no real emotions behind them.
Do you understand or do you need to write it down?
I don’t think I can live with this.
Fuck and i’m supposed to?
Vogel believes I’m just like all her other experiments, psychopath who can’t form real connections but she’s wrong, Deb isn’t a prop like Yates’s father was to his son. She’s more than a mirror. She’s family. if I have a purpose, and value and a right to exist, so do my feelings for Deb.
The body forms scar tissue to close a wound. Has my sister began to do the same? Eventually scars fade. Who knows, with enough time you may not even remember how you got them.
Did dad killed himself?
Yeah. He od’d on his heart medication. Thought he created a monster.
I think I know how he felt why he killed himself. But he only got it half right.
Nothing says family like shit.

10/10

Dexter 8.05

So I’m not perfect.
You are not even listening to me. You don’t understand I’ve been trapped in a fucking fog.
I’m stupid that way I’m limited.
I don’t hate you.
Why did you save me, why didn’t you let me drown?
I saw the car go into the water I knew you were gonna die I couldn’t imagine my life without you in it.
I was expecting that.
Yeah we’ll get him. Dexter will.
Serial killer bested by 100 pound nanny.
That’s why he’s taking the shoes.
Which little piggie won’t be making it to market?
She slapped him around like his mother used to.
It’s a search for the same connection.
Poor boy.
Fuck you, Dexter.
Debra, are you okay?
I’m good really I’m good.
We’re the family that kills together.
You’re doing well Debra you’re very resilient.
You never gave up on her. I’m impressed I know Harry would be too. He was always concerned that as you grow older you may drift apart.
We never really had a choice. If anyone ever really knew us they’d run screaming.
A few days ago everything seemed hopeless between me deb a d me but through Dr Vogel and Yates I’ve got my sister back. Not like things were before. Its something different, but for now its enough.
Its beautiful out here Dexter.
I like it. It’s peaceful, alone on the water.
Tonight you brought us.
Yes. Why?
I wanted to be with family.

10/10

Dexter 8.06

He’s drawn to blood like me.
I remember that feeling ‘oh’, wonder, it only fed the urge.
What do you like to do for fun?
You know normal stuff.
That’s it?
That’s all I can tell you.
Dating is harder than I remember.
Families fuck you up that’s just the way it is.
He treats the blood like a swim suit model.
Wow very colourful.
Forgot it’s a crime scene. Keep thinking that dead chick spilled all that blood just for me.
He’s streets smart.
Just like old times, huh?
It was worth living for.
He’s 4, duffus.
Jesus Christ how many pictures of fucking women in tights does this pervert need?
Someone’s shitting is somebody’s cheerios.
How weird was that she confessed to killing La Guerta?
I should have stayed in my office.
You look incredible.
Don’t look so fucking surprised.
I just don’t wanna touch anything i’m not supposed to.
He deserves nothing but my table.
To take a living person and make them dead, imagining that you can actually hear the moment when their heart stops beating, smell the blood as it pulls across the floor.
I can’t help it, it just builds up inside me all these years.
How was it once you killed her.
It felt like this huge weight was lifted off my chest. This release of something horrible inside me.
Like you’re finally in control.
Yes just go ahead and kill me
Why?
Because if you don’t, I know I’ll do it again. I don’t want to be like this but I can’t help it. I just am some kind of freak.
Monster.
Yes.
You never had a harry. Someone to talk to. Someone to teach you.
Some things happen to us by accident others are choices. There are parts of me that I can never share with my own son, but with Zack, could I teach him? Am I ready for this? To be a spiritual father?
He likes me cause he doesn’t know a fucking thing about me. Yeah I killed two people and tried to kill myself and my brother i’m sorry what kind of wine would you like to order. I mean what the fuck.
but Hey life is good i’m feeling optimistic for a while i’m even thinking about taking on a kinda intern.

At least my other parent cares.
What can I do? Get a little jerk a better present.

Switched at Birth 2.19

Ask the right parent.
John and Regina.
Remind me to thank him.
You should go with your stomach next time.
Sure I’m good down here.
I don’t have the Kennish gene for atlethics, okay? I don’t.
Can you ask Daphne?

Because of what happened with Chef Jeff.
Melody and that doctor.
We’re very 2013.
You jump.
Bay almost shat herself.
Not surprised she got pissed.
Shit, it didn’t work.
This is sound, Darling.
Emmett’s father is my favorite character together with Melody.
‘Hello’, I can hear that.
I’m the wizz with the copy machine.
I don’t know who I’m more scared of you or him.
Bay mentioning the helicopter that went down.
She’s broke her ankle.
Emmett’s dad listens to him play drums.

7/10

This was simply the best episode of the second half of the season. It is probably worse because it’s not based around school or Bay’s art anymore and girls don’t live together and Angelo’s child storyline is not very solid.

Pretty Little Liars 4.09

Ezra’s watching Aria and his girlfriend’s going to Washington.
A bail of 1mln dollars.
I was wondering where did the preacher go.
Preacher posted the bail!
Take Malcolm and get back with Aria.
What if he takes the paternity test and it turns out he’s not his father.
He was a corrupted cop, Ashley.
Everyone has their limits.
Jenna got thrown into the pond.
It was Ted.
Maybe you could let someone navigate for a while.
I knew it was Cece.
Mona’s back where she feels most comfortable.
And we know Jenna is not A for sure. Shonna isn’t probably either.

I should have posted it before after Christmas but somehow I got all wrapped up in other things, and here I am posting it today.

Trust

I was impressed, not at first, but then everything went just the way it should. Not too brutal and just the enough amount everyone should know and David Schwimmer did great job directing it. Definitely will rewatch it. There were many scenes that were compelling, my favorite the girl’s realization that he raped her not loved her, her father apologising at the end, family being all everything is normal, her thinking he loves her and will call her back, the rape scene, when her father saw her picture on the wall along all other hal fnaked models and father’s flashbacks. We did not need that scene during the ending titles though, but I really thought him taking the video would lead to somewhere like they would find him or something.

10/10

Pokerhouse

The rape scene was incredible, and mother all drunk and not caring, loveed Selma Blair in this, and Jennifer Laurence was great too, the last scene, girls singing in the car.

8/10

The Perfect Family

The mother just got used to the whole situation too quickly, yeah and it was too happy in general. Favorite scene, the first one at the dinner table.

7/10

The Prime of Miss Joan Brodie

Maggie Smith is spectacular in this, oh my, absolutely incredible. The film was marvellous too, though sometimes that kid was too annoying and self confident.

10/10

Eye for an Eye

Absolutely perfect, kind of a rape and revenge film and Sally killed it.

9/10

Sinister

I was really disappointed, as it was only tense at the beginning when he watched the tapes and the only creepy scene was when the face was revealed in the reflection of the water, other than I really thought it would be the next Insidious and it was pretty much disastrous.

6/10

The Hunger Games

And somehow I did end up watching it, though I said I would not and was surprised cause I thought It would be just another Twilight, but the whole story, sacrifice two kids from a district, and all the kills.

7/10

Punchline

I am always gonna laugh at this one, absolutely amazing. Sally was spectacular. My father used to talk about this film all the time when I was a younger teenager. He still quotes the scenes like Tom’s character medical exam or dinner at the table with the priest. Hilarious. I will watch it with him when I’m home in 3 weeks.

10/10

Kika

The rape scene was incredible, may have been a little too much for most of the audience, but really perfect. The whole film was so beautifully crazy. Kika was pretty annoying in a good meaning of the word. Not as perfect as Bad Education, but one of Almodovar’s best.

10/10

The Perks of being A Wallflower

The only thing I did not like about the film is that Kate Walsh did not have enough screen time, other than that film was incredible. I was really glad when I saw where the film was going, the sexual abuse storyline. Kind of a teenage version of The Silver Linings Playbook.

And at this moment we were infinite.

9/10

Augusta, Gone

6.5/10

House at the End of the Street

7/10

The Pitch Perfect

5/10

Beyond the Blackboard

Not music for the heart good, but good enough.

6.5/10

ATM

I actually really enjoyed it, what an intriguing ending, when it really looks like no one was there.

8/10

The Crazies

7/10

Underground The Julian Assange Story

Rachel Griffiths was the only good thing about this film.

4/10

Mom at Sixteen

As I am moving out, and the Internet connection is not going to be as good as it should be, I will not watch much films, and only have time to watch my tv series and comment on them each week.

Hilary and Jackie

I cannot imagine how hard it must be to be compared to a sister, all the pressure and competition. When Jackie said she wants to sleep with Hilary’s husband, just because they share everything, that was just devastating. Hilary finally allows her sister to do so. What a beautiful and extremely painful movie. She is sleeping with her sister’s husband and she is mad at her for sleeping with her own husband.

I’ve given you everything you’ve asked for. For everything you’ve asked for I said yes.

The truth is you’re not special.

She can’t possibly be Jewish, she’s blonde.

If you think that being an ordinary person is any easier than being an extraordinary one, you’re wrong.

7/10

The Hours

There was so much beautiful pain in this film.

It would be wonderful to say you regretted it. It would be easy. But what does it mean? What does it mean to regret when you have no choice? It’s what you can bear. There it is no one’s going to forgive me. It was death. I chose life.

There are times when you don’t belong and you think you’re going to kill yourself.

I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility. You know, that feeling? And I remember thinking to myself: So, this is the beginning of happiness. This is where it starts. And of course there will always be more. It never occurred to me it wasn’t the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment. Right then.

But I still have to face the hours.

Always giving the parties to kill the silence.

Would you be angry If I died? I think I’m only staying alive to satisfy you.

I’m saying that even crazy people like to be asked.

It is possible to die, if it is a choice between enrichment and death, I chose death.

You cannot find peace by avoiding life.

9/10

Carnage

Best film of the year and Jodie Foster, ladies and gentlemen, and that performance, enough said.

Why can’t things be easier? You know? Why does everything have to be so exhausting.

At least our kid isn’t a little wimpy ass faggot.

The truth is that nobody here cares.

I’m glad our son kicked the shit out of your son!

You’d known her 15 minutes and you already knew she was fake?

I saw your friend Jane Fonda on TV the other day. Made me wanna run out and buy a Ku Klux Klan poster.

I don’t have a sense of humour and I don’t want one!

She doesn’t care any more than you do.
Mmm, that’s true.

Don’t you tell me about Africa. I know all about suffering in Africa.

How could you be so openly despicable?
Because I feel like it. I fell like being openly despicable!

Zachary is not a maniac!
Yes, he is.

Nobody told you to listen to my conversation.
Well nobody said you should have it under my nose.

I got no patience for this touchy feely bullshit.

I am a short-tempered son of a bitch.
We all are.

She keeps calling me a doctor.

It could be the cobbler. That much I know.
It’s not the cobbler.
Do you think it was the cobbler?
Of course it was.

9.5/10

The Beaver

The scene when Meredith is trapped between her son being hit and her husband depression. She has been very understanding, it is obvious she snapped. What I cannot believe is why did not she call the doctor earlier? The writing is exceptionally good. Oh how people underestimate depression. How his mind is his biggest enemy. The cutting  the arm off was absolutely unexpected and so real and good at the same time. How we see his son is following his fathers steps.

Probably sleeping, that’s all he does.

Nobody wants to feel pain anymore.

8/10

Little Man Tate

The kid is a little autistic, if you ask me and the character of Jane is super annoying, she just purposely wants to take the kid away from his mother and she is basically acticng all ‘I’m your Mommy.’ and Henry Junior Connic character was first super sweet and then turned out to be a jerk. Other than that, amazing film.

Can I have a coke?
Absolutely not.
Kid pukes.
Now can I have a coke?
In a fridge.

7/10

Foxes

7/10

The Iron Lady

Meryl’s performance is astonishing. The film itself is a little chaotic, the flashbacks appear to often. I think it should be more like I admire how t starts with first, what is now part and then we go to the past, I do believe the story would be more moving if after all her success we were hit with the present. Switching the voices and learning how to sound like Margaret require a lot of practice, and not everyone would be able o do that. What I cannot understand about Meryl’s choices of roles, is how lately she goes from dramatic ones to comedies. I always feel like she’s wasting her incredible talent in comedies. Films like, Devil Wears Prada, Mamma Mia, Julia and Julie, It’s Complicated and now Springs. After Carnage, my second favourite film this year and a well deserved Oscar.

9/10

Erin Brockovich

The love part was a little too much, other than that a very inspirational story and a good film. I’m a fast learner. Show me in a lab once and I’ve got it down.

For the first time in my life, I got people respecting me. Please, don’t ask me to give it up.

Oh, you fucking piece of CRAP with no signal!

Ed, have a fucking cup of coffee.

I don’t need pity, I need a paycheck. And I’ve looked. But when you’ve spent the past six years raising babies its real hard to find somebody who pays worth a damn, are ya getting every word of this down honey or am I talking too fast?

Are you going to be something else that I have to survive? Because… to tell you the truth… I’m not up to it.

NOT PERSONAL! That is my WORK, my SWEAT, and MY TIME AWAY FROM MY KIDS! IF THAT IS NOT PERSONAL, I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS!

Annabelle Daniels: 714-454-9346. 10 years old, 11 in May. Lived on the plume since birth. Wanted to be a synchronized swimmer so she spent every minute she could in the PG&E pool. She had a tumor in her brain stem detected last November, an operation on Thanksgiving, shrunk it with radiation after that. Her parents are Ted & Rita. Ted’s got Crohn’s disease, Rita has chronic headaches, and nausea, and underwent a hysterectomy last fall. Ted grew up in Hinkley. His brother Robbie, and his wife May and their five children: Robbie Jr, Martha, Ed, Rose & Peter *also* lived on the plume. Their number is 454-9554. You want their diseases?

Well, um, seeing as how I have no brains or legal expertise, and Ed here was losing all faith in the system, am I right? I just went out there and performed sexual favors. Six hundred and thirty-four blow jobs in five days… I’m really quite tired.

Like I was saying, I thought that the number you proposed was inappropriate, so I increased it.

7/10

North Country

I was nicely surprised with this one. I was shocked how they made it seem like the guy raped her, and at the end we find out she was raped by a teacher. The son pissed me off through the entire film, ungrateful son calling his mother a whore, that was just really hard to look at.

8.5/10

Frozen River

A baby in that bag, I did not see that one coming. The thing is, the film still does not have enough suspense, but still is very good. The kid burned the house down. The ending was a twist, she gave the kids away, that was just surprising. The film would be better if the kid died.

Count it.

8/10

Winter’s Bone

It was fine, until the torture porn started, aka finding her father’s body, that’s when the film got excellent.

What are we ever gonna do with you, baby girl?
Kill me I guess.
That idea’s been said already. Got any others?
Help me. Nobody’s said that idea yet, have they?

8/10

In the Bedroom

Did you do it?

7/10

Plain Truth

Boring with a nice twist at the end.

5/10

Breathless

The opening, Deter like, which is always good, though this one may be a little too Deter like. As a huge horror fan I enjoyed it just a little too much, the humour is good and the film is simply prefect, until the third act, when it all falls apart, when the private detective comes and ruins the story entirely. The film would be so much better if it just ended like they cleaned everything up and escaped, or got caught and shot the police man and then escaped. I really enjoyed Kelli’s character, more than Lorna. Tiny was just excellent, and when she started cutting Dale up, that was just breathtaking. The self defence scene was great though. I liked the idea that Tiny would kill them all. Am going to buy it on DVD and replay the first two acts.

I didn’t think there was that much money in the whole state of Texas.

Oh my God, Lorna, Oh my God.

Holy Jesus, Dale’s dead.

We’ve got a hell of a situation on our hands, Lorna.

Now, that’s a bit better.
Better? That bag does not change the fact that there’s a dead man underneath it.

We’re in Texas, there are no accidents, there’s alive and there’s dead.

I didn’t kill nobody.

What happened?
Bugs.
Bugs? No kiddin.
Never knew bugs could do that.
Earth to earth, dust to dust, all that.

With the turkey knife?

I ain’t cutting no man into pieces.

You what?

Hell of a good time we havin, ah?

I guess I always kinda liked cutting stuff up.

Does blood make me look fat?

Instead there’s poor old Dale… While you gals are having the time of your lives.

Figured it was self defence.

Abso-lutely.

Even a good woman has got a breaking point.

How do you think you’re gonna get out of this one?

8/10

The Grey

The plane crash was intriguing, it was very smart of him to fasten all three seatbelts. You’re gonna die, that’s what happening, sounded a lot like ‘You’re are about to be kidnapped.’ This is Fuck City, population 5 and dwindling. There are many beautiful scenes, the last scene when he’s looking at all the photos in the wallets, really moving. The way I see it, he died, I do not believe the ending means he won over the wolf and is resting, he’s dying along with the wolf, that is what happened. I do not like the idea of purgatory some people are giving, this is not lost people. He did not commit suicide, they all suffered and were killed by wolves. The lucky ones, died in plane crush. The title does not mean purgatory, it means hanging between life and the inevitable death, because they all are going to die. In the beautiful mountains, in the cold, eaten by wolves.

Once more into the fray. Into the last good fight I’ll ever know. Live and die on this day. Live and die on this day.

Do something. Do something. You phony prick fraudulent mother fucker. Do something! Come on! Prove it! Fuck faith! Earn it! Show me something real! I need it now. Not later. Now! Show me and I’ll believe in you until the day I die. I swear. I’m calling on you. I’m calling on you! Fuck it. I’ll do it myself.

We’re going to get a large branch and sharpen the end of it, and we’re going to shove it up this thing’s ass. Then we’re going to eat it.

Who do you love? Let them take you.

Don’t move. Stare right back at them.

Fate didn’t give a fuck. Dead is dead.

There’s not a second that goes by when I’m not thinking of you in some way. I want to see your face. Feel your hands in mine. Feel you against me. But I know that will never be. You left me, and I can’t get you back… I move like I imagine the damned do, cursed. I feel like it’s only a matter of time… I don’t know why I’m writing this, I don’t know what can come of it. I know I can’t get you back. I don’t know why this has happened to us. I feel like it’s me. Bad luck. Poison. I’ve stopped doing this world any real good.

I got a book. It’s called “We’re all fucked”. It’s a best seller.

A job at the end of the world. A salaried killer for a big petroleum company. I don’t know why I did half the things I’ve done, but I know this is where I belong, surrounded by my own. Ex-cons, fugitives, drifters, ass-holes. Men unfit for mankind.

It’s good. It’s good that it hurts.
It’s good?
It’s good, yeah.
Oh well then I’m fuckin’ fabulous.

I just had the clearest thought. I’m done. I’m done.

Is that it? You’re just gonna sit there? Is that what you want?
Yeah.
After what we survived?
That’s exactly why. What I got waiting for me back there? I’m gonna sit on a drill all day. Get drunk all night. That’s my life. Turn around and look at that. I feel like that’s all for me. How do I beat that. When will it ever be better? I can’t explain it.

As I mentioned before, I have decided to rewatch Brothers and Sisters from the beginning till the very last episode. What pushed me towards the show in the first place, was the family aspect of this series. My whole life I lived with just my parents, away from the rest of my family. I have spent every Christmas with just the two of them, so the idea of calling siblings every day and sharing everything with them, just made this show really appealing to me and watching Walkers’ adventures and every day struggles makes me really happy.

Walkers in order of how much I like them, it’s hard, as I love all of them almost equally, but Sarah and Nora have always been my absolute favourite:
Sarah, Nora, Kitty, Justin, Tommy, Kevin, Saul

Favourite non Walker: Holly, I have always loved Holly. Rebecca is also amazing, but I’m really sad she left

One of my favourite endings of an episode was season 4 episode 21, Luc winning his green card, for me as a non US citizen, wanting to be one more than anything in the world that was great.
Favourite interaction between two characters: All the scenes between Nora and Sarah. Then Sara and Kitty. Then Kitty and Nora. Then Sarah and everyone. Nora and Saul.

Two favourite scenes from the series:
The Pool scene from season 1 finale.
Season 4 finale, the car crash.
Every single dinner when they are all together.

Weakest season: Season 5.
Favourite season: Season 4.

Transcript of Season 4 finale:

Oh, my God.
Are you okay?
Oh, God.
Scotty! Oh, my God. Kevin!
Scotty, Scotty, are you okay?
I’m fine. I’m fine. Justin!
I’m fine. I’m fine. Kevin, are you okay? Are you hurt?
Help the others. Help the others. Mom– what?
Are you okay? I think we hit Robert’s car.
Oh, my God. There was a- there was a truck–
Where’s my mom? This guy cut him off.
Holly’s in the car. I can’t get Holly out of the car.
Holly’s hurt. Mom! Mom!
Just sit down over here. Call emergency.
Just sit down, all right? Just sit- mom! You okay? Where’s Saul?
I don’t know. Where’s Saul?
I don’t know!
I see him.
Saul!
I’m fine. Are you okay?
Yeah. Good. I’m–

You can’t.
Kitty! It’s all right, Robert.
Kitty! Kitty! Oh, no, no.
Justin, Justin. I think he’s really hurt.
Okay, okay. I think he’s really hurt.
All right. Let me in. Let me in. Okay. I think he’s really…
Hey, Robert. Hey, the- there’s my man.
Justin, help! Mom’s bad.
Justin…
I’ll wait for the ambulance.
Go. All right, Kitty.|Keep talking to him.
Oh! I’ll be back.|I’ll be back, Robert. Okay?
Oh, God.
Holly. Rebecca, clear out. Clear. Rebecca.
Holly? Holly, can you hear me?|I don’t know if she’s breathing.
Can you hear me, Holly? Holly.
Holly? Oh, good, good.|Okay, Holly, it’s Justin, all right?
I’m just gonna put this|on to keep you warm, okay?
You’ g gonna be okay.|She’s gonna be okay.
Okay, Robert, everything’s|gonna be okay, honey.
You’re gonna be fine,|okay? Talk to me.
Just talk to me, darling.|It’s okay. You were right.
I was right?
When we brought Evan home from|the hospital, I was scared…
That I wouldn’t be able
To keep up.
But then I saw you holding him…
So strong…
And so loving.
And I knew that…
You would.
I knew it.
Robert.
Robert. Robert. Talk– talk to me.
Oh, God. Robert–
stay with me, Robert.|Right here. Robert.
Oh, my…
Robert?
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.|Somebody…
Some–oh, rortrt.
Robert, please. Please.|Please, Robert.
Stay with me. Robert, stay with…
Oh, God, somebody…
Somebody…
Somebody help me. Help me.
Robert. Robert.
It’s gonna be okay. It’s gonna be okay.
Just stay with me.
Stay with me, Robert.
Oh, Robert… It’s gonna be all right.
Kitty! Kitty! Kitty!

‘C’mon, Kevin, we’re Walkers! Let’s go do what Walkers do best.’ ‘Get drunk? Okay.’

‘She let me live at Nora’s house. She let me believe that I was a part of their family. I fell in love with that family. What am I supposed to do, just sit there, pretend I’m related to them? I was happy. For the first time in my life I was happy.’

I know that season 5 was weaker than the previous four, but the show has the family atmosphere that many lack. It will always be one of my favourite shows and I will always terribly miss the Walkers.

Very Annie Mary. Cabin in the Woods. Hell. Beautiful Kate. Seven Below. Off The Map. Lake Placid. Butterfly On a Wheel. History of Violence. Answers to Nothing. Blood Runs Cold. Kaboom.

My holidays may have started three weeks ago, which means the same every year, season of watching films have just started, but this year I have decided to rewatch all seasons of SVU and Brothers and Sisters first, which is why I have only seen twelve films from the beginning of my summer break.

Very Annie Mary

An amazing comedy, which was not in fact a comedy. In the beginning, how naive Annie Mary was that was just precious.

8/10

Cabin in the Woods

I am not a fan of Saws, but that was different, until it all fell apart. Till the moment the guy jumps on his motocycle, everything is great, he dies, and the film immediately starts falling apart. I was happy to se Sigourney Weaver and Jodelle Fernand at the end, and the ending was not bad itself, but twenty minutes in between ruined the movie.

6/10

Hell

One of the most intriguing post apocalyptic films in a while. Breathtaking shots. I am not a fan of German cinema in general, but that was very good.

8/10

Beautiful Kate

One of the most intriguing films about inset I have seen, the issue presented gently and remarkably, reminding everyone that Australian cinematography is truly spectacular and highly unappreciated.

9/10

Seven Below

I was disappointed Val Kilmer got killed first, but the film was good, even the ending.

7/10

Off the Map

Depression well but, but is it just me or was trailer better than the film? Not enough Amy Brenneman.

7/10

Lake Placid

Starring Bridget Fonda, Oliver Platt and Mariska Hargitay. Bridget’s character at the beginning made me laugh, and the film was not bad itself. It is not my favorite creature based or water creature based film, but not disapointing.

7/10

Butterfly On a Wheel

I figured it out in the beginning, there was not enough tension, I would expect.

7/10

History of Violence

First half intriguing, then a little bit worse, but a good thriller after all, plus the ending was very good.

7/10

Answers to Nothing

There have been just a few very good multi stories films, like Things you can tell just by looking at her or Mother and Child and this is one of them. Inspiring stories, maybe not fully presented like in the Thing you can tell just by looking at her for example, but this is life, just how it is. Though the film lacks a well highlighted  ‘Answer to Everything’ line or narration, but if we look closely, we surely find the answers we need.

7/10

Blood Runs Cold

I always tend to watch low budged independent films, expect them to be good, oh how naive I am. There are not many low budget films that are in fact good, and this one is definitely not one of them. The problem is, I enjoyed the killings.

3/10

Kaboom

Another huge disapointement, started pretty okay, and then got all twisted, not in  a good way. When I read the plot I thought It might be similar to Donnie Darko, and it was in a weird kind of way, but it definitely not as good.

1/10
