This week's theme: Top Ten Sci-fi Movies


In honor of Sci-fi month in November, here are some of my favorite science fiction movies! I'm realizing as I write this post that I have seen way more sci-fi TV shows than movies...

One of my favorite sci-fi movies, plus the added bonus of having a spectacular soundtrack! This movie never ceases to bend my mind every time I watch it.

This movie was so good! I was blown away by the world building and the mystery and I got really emotional towards the end, which is rare for me with movies.

ET was one of my favorite movies as a kid, I just loved the idea of discovering an alien in my closet (even if he was kind of wrinkly and creepy looking).

Like most of my friends, I saw this movie in 9th grade Biology when we were talking about genetic engineering and the ethical implications. This movie is so sad but really thought-provoking and inspiring too.

I watched this movie when I was home alone, which was a terrible idea because I just sobbed that night. It was really good though!

Yeah, there are some white-savior-complex problems with this movie, but you can't deny it's a visual masterpiece and just filled with really cool worlds/technology.

I finally saw this movie last month, and it was absolutely gorgeous. I wasn't a huge fan of the weird bookshelf thing/non-answer about one of the main questions driving the plot but I did like the movie overall. I love how it focused on a father-daughter relationship, even if the whole "love transcends all" trope is a little overdone.

I've never seen such a stressful movie! My heart was literally pounding for half the movie, and I love how it contrasted the serene beauty of the planet earth with the life-or-death situation happening in space.

What's a sci-fi movie list without Star Wars? The latest installment is my favorite so far, because it taps into the nostalgia of the old movies but makes them way more relevant to my generation :) Rey is such a badass, and I loved Finn too! And of course, BB-8!!!

I love Marvel movies, and the Avengers was so much fun because I didn't even know that it was possible for movies to all tie in to a larger storyline until I saw this one. It was so funny and just plain fun to watch :)

Way of Kings Readalong: Wrap-up

So it's finally over. That was an amazing book! Thank you everyone for joining in and making my first readalong so much fun :) I have said over and over again that Brandon Sanderson is a storytelling god. This book makes me believe it even more fiercely - it takes a mastermind to create such intricate worlds and piece together so many character and plot threads. He does such a great job of feeding you just enough answers/revelations to keep you happy, but keeps you hanging by dangling all sorts of questions for you to answer. Not to mention the bombshells he throws in at the end... Having read Mistborn, I really should have been more prepared for disaster and mindblowing moments towards the end of the book. The end was just bombshell after bombshell - some were interesting revelations, and others were shattering. The bombshells of this week: 1) Navani proves that Dalinar's visions are real , and says his unconscious decoding of an ancient language will help pave the

Way of Kings Readalong: Gender roles on Roshar

We've seen a little bit about the differences in what members of different genders are allowed and encouraged to do. I thought it was interesting how things like reading were entrusted only to women, since reading is how you gain knowledge (and power!), and it seems like the men were the ones who wanted all the power in this world. So here's a discussion post about the different gender roles and what some possible implications are. But first, a few words from Brandon Sanderson: I found this video on YouTube where Sanderson talks a bit about gender roles in history and in The Way of Kings. It's only a minute or two in the middle of the video (4:30-6:58), but I thought it was interesting. YouTube is being annoying and I cannot embed the video so here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqeKPBHquOg Gender differences on Roshar A table of some basic differences in genders: Men Women Can read glyphs Can read an

Top Ten Tuesday 54 - Book to Movie/TV adaptations

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by  The Broke and the Bookish . This week's theme: Top Ten Movie/TV show adaptations of books I've read Sometimes movies and TV shows do a great job of portraying the spirit of the books they're based on, and sometimes they really don't. Here are a few adaptations I loved and some that I felt were lacking. Great Adaptations 1. The Hunger Games/Catching Fire/Mockingjay       Stunning visuals, pitch-perfect portrayal of the characters, and just enough new changes to keep the movies fresh. 2. Harry Potter The movies captured the spirit of the books so well, and again, all the actors did an amazing job of portraying the beloved book characters. Some movies did better than others, but I'm generally really happy with these! 3. The Book Thief     I was really nervous about watching this because The Book Thief is one of my favorites. I shouldn't have been worried, because this movie captured t
