A Game of Thrones (HBO Series)

My very first experience with A Game of Thrones was back in 2005 when a roommate of mine introduced me to the series and the great George R.R. Martin. Once I started reading, I was absolutely entranced by the storyline.

You can imagine my skepticism when HBO announced the release of A Game of Thrones as a series. The books were just too complex for a series of this magnitude to be good on television right? Wrong! I was absolutely blown away by the pilot and how well they adapted it based on the source material. The acting was great, the special effects were good, and the character development was on point.

My favorite characters in Season 1 and Book 1 continued to be Jon Snow and Arya Stark. However, Sean Bean was amazing as Eddard Stark and Emilia Clarke was absolutely gorgeous in her role as Daenerys Targaryen. Call me shallow if you will, but her scene coming out of the hot tub was absolute eye candy.

After watching the entire season, I must say that this was one of the best book to television adaptations I have had the pleasure of watching. Although there were a handful of scenes that were missing (you just cant fit everything in), the original plot was never sacrificed, and the story remained intact until the last episode.

I was a bit surprised that they did not decide to use the name “Songs of Ice and Fire” as the series title, and I’m interested to see how they continue the second season of “Game of Thrones” set to be released April 2012.

The new trailer for the highly anticipated Tron sequel is actually pretty sick. Disney has definitely found a way to give you just enough to get all your senses buzzing. Boasting the latest in 3D technology and visual affects while combining it with Daft Punk’s awesomeness, this is sure to be a blockbuster hit. I cant wait till December!

After being transported into the surreal landscape of a mainframe computer to destroy an intruder (Tron), a programmer finds himself allied with the leader of a rebellion against a corrupt cyber-entity. ‘Tron Legacy’ is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (GARRETT HEDLUND), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (JEFF BRIDGES), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant (OLIVIA WILDE), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous. – In Theaters December 17th, 2010.

The Chronicles of Narnia series was the starting point in regards to my obsession with fantasy novels and folklore. I received the box set as a Christmas present in elementary school and have been hooked to the fantasy genre ever since. The trailer looks pretty good and I cant wait to see how they bring the Voyage of the Dawn Treader to life. One of my favorite books from the series.

Lucy and Edmund Pevensie return to Narnia with their cousin Eustace where they meet up with Prince Caspian for a trip across the sea aboard the royal ship The Dawn Treader. Along the way they encounter dragons, dwarves, merfolk, and a band of lost warriors before reaching the edge of the world.
