Well, I haven't made a blog post in a while and I haven't made a post that doesn't involve polls in a REALLY long time, so I figured I would give it a shot. Although this doesn't have to do with BYOND, this is still my blog and the information might be valuable to someone. I would love it if you would leave comments and/or even become a fan of this blog (I currently have 3 but would love more! XD)
Anyway to the Blog!
As some of you who know me might already know, I am addicted to movies. Personally I am a huge horror movie buff but besides that I just love to watch them in general (I have no life... Y_Y). Recently I have come across a few good movies from different genre's that are (In my opinion) AMAZING! And should be viewed by others.
Now me personally, I use Netflix. I think it is an amazingly wonderful server and for such a cheap price it can be beat. Luckily for me I have a huge 65" HDTV that is internet capable and has a Netflix app that allows me to stream it directly to my TV (So I can watch a ton of movies). IF your TV has this ability then I would suggest looking into getting a Netflix subscription. Even if it doesn't you can still get a basic subscription which you can stream movies to your computer through the Netflix website.
Now that I am done selling you on Netflix here are a few good movies that I have checked out on Netflix over the last few weeks that I really liked and thought you (The reader might enjoy as well)
To me this movie is an edge of your seat Psychological thriller that keeps you guessing all throughout the movie.
IMDb: The tale of a serial killer in West Hollywood has two converging plot lines. The first involves an uneasy relationship between a psychologically unstable landlady and her enigmatic lodger; the second is about a troubled detective engaged in a cat-and-mouse game with the elusive killer, who is imitating the crimes of Jack the Ripper
I don't want to give to much away but I do suggest that everyone watch this movie 5 out of 5 stars!
Another movie I felt strongly about was....
Personally I am a huge fan of Liam Neeson's movies. I think he is an awesome actor. This movie is probably one of the best movies I think I have ever seen. I actually had to go online and check out what others had to say about this movie because This movie just makes you think and wonder and doubt yourself and all your thoughts on what exactly is happening.
IMDb: After a horrific car accident, Anna (Ricci) wakes up to find the local funeral director Eliot Deacon (Neeson) preparing her body for her funeral. Confused, terrified and feeling still very much alive, Anna doesn't believe she's dead, despite the funeral director's reassurances that she is merely in transition to the afterlife. Eliot convinces her he has the ability to communicate with the dead and is the only one who can help her. Trapped inside the funeral home, with nobody to turn to except Eliot, Anna is forced to face her deepest fears and accept her own death. But Anna's grief-stricken boyfriend Paul (Long) still can't shake the nagging suspicion that Eliot isn't what he appears to be. As the funeral nears, Paul gets closer to unlocking the disturbing truth, but it could be too late; Anna may have already begun to cross over the other side.
I give this movie a 8 out of 5 stars! XD
Another movie that I thought was pretty good, however is a little older is ....
A wonderful and intellectual movie featuring Samuel L Jackson. A little odd at first, you have to keep watching to really get into it, but once the more interesting parts start to happen you are drawn into this world of fantasy and wonder, asking yourself, "Will I ever find my way out of the rabbit hole?"
IMDb: Romulus is mentally ill, a troglodyte in a New York City park. He's also a gifted composer and the father of a city cop. On Valentine's Day, a young man freezes in a tree near his cave. The police determine it's the accidental death of someone behaving bizarrely, but Romulus believes a friend of the dead youth who says that noted avant-garde photographer, David Leppenraub, murdered him. Romulus, urged on by hallucinations of his wife as a young woman, resolves to catch the killer and manages to be invited to Leppenraub's farm to play a new composition. Can Romulus hold it together long enough to get to the bottom of the death and also to make a breakthrough with his daughter?
I give this movie 4 out of 5 stars because it has a slow beginning but really does draw you in after a while to deliver a wonderful performance.
Well that is three movies right there that you can look up or ignore or what have you. If you have already seen them then I would love to get your opinion on them as well. If you haven't, I definitely suggest that you do and let me know what you think. All of these movies can be found on Netflix or downloaded through various torrents or found at your local movie store.
Since this was kind of a spur of the moment thing, next issue I will expand into other aspects of BEYOND BYOND-ness such as video games, books, new movies, ETC. In fact, if there are things you are interested in and would like to see featured in this blog, just let me know and I will work out new things to add next week or next blog session.
Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you. Don't forget to fan this blog and leave comments!
This blog was dictated not read. XD

Really? I'm like that with music. I want to be listening to music at least 10/24 hours of my day. I love it. Searching YouTube for illegally recorded copies of songs live, or un-released songs. YES! So much fun. Music is the bomb. =D
