Another day, watching two movies today, and picked two of my favourites to make up for the disappointing start to October. Started with “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” - I’m not going to be typing much today because I burned my hand at the knuckle making dinner last night and it is killing my hand to type. 

Dracula is one of the best movies and one I watch quite frequently. Ironically, the first time I watched it, it terrified me. Not so much anymore, now I have a crush on Gary Oldman (even if the man is way too old for me) and I could watch him for hours. Winona Ryder isn’t my favourite actress but she does a good job in this particular movie. Same with Keanu Reeves, I know he’s a favourite for some but not so much for me, he’s kind of a one-trick pony when it comes to acting in my book. But Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins steal the show in this masterpiece. They make the movie shine and are the reason I will happily watch this over and over. 

The next movie I’m watching is Stephen King’s “The Langoliers”. I have always loved Stephen King’s works, it’s part of what got me into horror as a teen, reading his books. I haven’t read this particular one but I’d like to one day. The movie is based on the notion of time travel and how it’s not exactly all it’s cracked up to be - you can’t go back and see the pyramids being made and it explains that. It’s a fascinating look at not only science but the human mind (as most of his books are about) and despite the 80s imagery of the cannon balls from Super Mario, it is a really cool movie that I recommend people should watch. (And Balki from Perfect Strangers does a really interesting antagonist role in this movie) 

I definitely recommend both of these movies if you haven’t seen them. 

I will be back working on my Pokemon Cross-stitch piece again - it’s halfway finished currently and I’ve been just trying to get through it.  Currently working on Rapidash and Ponyta, not very halloween-y but appropriate for the mythological parts? :)
