My DvD’s (“Sanctuary for All Seas. 1″)
Below a list of DvD’s I am watching or that I have seen.
25 April 2010: Sanctuary for All, season 1
(ISBN 5 030305 106676)
Dr. Helen Magnus is a beautiful and enigmatic scientist who seeks out all manner of monstrous creatures. Aided by her protégé, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Will Zimmerman and her fearless daughter Ashley, the Sanctuary Team tracks down, studies and protects the strange and often terrifying creatures that secretly populate our world.
25 April 2008:Avatar
(ISBN 8 712626 044604)
You hear a lot about the movie “Avatar” that the ideas behind the movie are taken from other movies and stories. This may be true, but still I enjoyed this movie a lot. The storyline is good, the actors are good…. but the screenplay and the special effects are truly awesome.
I really liked the movie.
2 April 2010: Stormbreaker
(ISBN 5 050582 457520)
A space-opera alike movie from 2006. A earth boy becomes an intergallactic hero who saves the complete universe. A fun movie to watch without expecting a deep going plot or high level story line. Just a movie to lean back and twatch. Some good humour though!
25 March 2010: Tomb Raider
(ISBN 8 714865 556122)
Tomb Raider, a series of great movies based on a series of great computer games.
In the games I watched Lara Croft from a “pixel lady” in the oldest games into a very attractive lady in the latest games.
The movies are of the kind I like…. mystery, secrets and lots of action. All going along with a good dose of humour….
And of course it is always nice to watch Angelina Jolie…..
21 March 2010: The Da Vinci Code
(ISBN 8 712609 677041)
Second time I watched “The Da Vince Code” and I liked the movie just as much as the first time. But I am still happy I did read the book before I ever saw the movie.
I like the way Dan Brown builds his stories around facts, history, legends and myths. I completely fail to see why people can see this book/movie as an ins…ult of religion. In the other cases such a novel would be called fantasy or maybe science fiction, but when religion is the subject it seems all suddenly different. Weird and hard to understand for me..
20 March 2010: Timeline
(ISBN 8 714865 559758)
Travelling in time (possible or not) is a very interesting subject to ponder about…. Changing the past and so changing the future…. Paradoxes… Great stuff to discuse about.
Anyway, this movie touches the subject of time-travelling, but it is more about brave men and daring women. Normal people who turn out to be heroes!
I enjoyed this movie.
25 February 2010: Deep Space 9, season 7
(ISBN 8 714865 554098)
The last season of this SF series that I liked so much….
20 February 2010: The Mummy – Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
(ISBN 5 505582 560701)
The tittle may make one think of some kind of horror movie (which are not my thing). Nothing is less true… a wonderful adventure movie with good special effect and lots of humor.
12 February 2010: Top Gun
(ISBN 714865 555088)
About “real” men… being the best… gorgeous women… macho behavior…. hero’s…. and fighter jets!!!
Great movie to watch with a bottle of beer
.

(ISBN 8 14865 554081)
Season 6 of this great series…. What can I say more?

Season 5 of this never boring series.
26 January 2010: Star Trek

This movie is a must see!

1 Januari 2010: Star Wars – A New Hope
(4 DvD box)

31 December 2009: War Games
(ISBN 8 717438 131511)
A boy hacks without knowing in to a computer of the military. He thinks he is playing a game with the computer. But the computer simulates it all straight into the real world.
I have seen this movie now rather often and I still like it a lot.
It is also fun to see how he works 8 inch diskettes and analog modems. Mostly likely my laptop has more power then all the computers in that movie together .
31 December 2009: The Dark Crystal

25 December : Wanted
(ISBN 5 050583 560732)
A great movie…. Funny detail is that I picked up this movie because of the cover. Anyway, to my surprise Angelina Jolie performs in this movie.
The movie is about a brotherhood that kills people appointed by destiny. But as always corruption finds its way in. The main character was a normal person, a coward maybe. Because his father was member of this brotherhood he gets trained in their ways….. and here the story starts to get rolling…
I would advice this movie to watch…
25 December: Night at the Museum 2

Again Dan Brown managed to create a wonderful and exciting story by mixing up truth, myth and legends…
7 November 2009: X-Men Origins, Wolverine

A great movie about how Wolverine found its way into the world. I enjoyed this movie very much. Only thing I found a pity that is doesn’t follow exactly the story-line given to us by earlier X-Men movies. Still I am looking forward to other movies in this series.

(ISBN 5 050582 304367, 6 DvD’s)

The series is about a boy who discovered a way to travel to other parallel worlds. He and some friends start to travel many different parallel worlds. Their biggest problem is to find their own world back.
Great fun to watch!!!
