This month OBS’ book club, is The Lovely Bones. A book about a young girl who was brutally murdered by her neighbor, and after her death, the cops can’t find her killer. That leaves Susie with a bit of ‘unfinished business’ so to speak, so her ghost guides the police and her family to finally solving her murder. So for this edition of Must-See List, OBS creator Dawn, complied a worthy list of TV shows and movies about Ghosts.

Must-See TV Shows:

Ghost Whisperer

Synopsis: Melinda Gordon inherited her “gift” — the ability to see and talk with the spirits of dead people — from, and was coached it its use by her grandmother. Running an antique store in a small town, newly married to a paramedic, Melinda helps the ghosts wandering around who are trapped between worlds by helping them to resolve unfulfilled aspects of their former life. (from imdb.com)

I don’t like Jennifer Love Hewitt much, but the storyline is great. Who wouldn’t want the opportunity to communicate with a recently deceased loved one?

Haunted Matthew Fox

Synopsis: Police officer Frank Taylor had the perfect job and perfect family. After his son’s unsolved abduction, his life, marriage and career disintegrate. He leaves the force to become a private investigator specializing in missing and abducted children cases. His ex-wife has come to terms with the loss of their child, but Frank is obsessed with one day finding their son. One day Frank’s life is forever changed while trying to apprehend Simon, a man linked to several child abductions who eludes the police. A fatal clash leaves Simon dead and Frank in critical condition. As the doctors try to save his life, Frank has a near-death experience in which he sees his missing son. When Frank regains consciousness, he finds that the dead can communicate with him, and that their confusing and frightening manifestations are usually intended to help him in his work. Some of the dead however—including Simon—abuse his new abilities to intentionally mislead or harm him. (from wikipedia.org)

Frank Taylor (Matthew Fox) can communicate with ghosts after a near death experience. Sadly, it was a short lived series.

Must See Movies:

Ghost - Patrick Swazye and Demi Moore

Synopsis: Sam and Molly are a very happy couple and deeply in love. Walking back to their new apartment after a night out at the theatre, they encounter a thief in a dark alley, and Sam is murdered. He finds himself trapped as a ghost and realises that his death was no accident. He must warn Molly about the danger that she is in. But as a ghost he can not be seen or heard by the living, and so he tries to communicate with Molly through Oda Mae Brown, a psychic who didn’t even realise that her powers were real. (from imdb.com)

Ghost is such a romantic movie. Patrick and Demi are perfect together in a movie about a loved one coming back to protect their spouse.

The Haunting Liam Neeson, Lili Taylor, Catherine Zeta Jones

Synopsis: In “The Haunting,” a group of insomniac volunteer research subjects travel to a massive old mansion to undergo testing for what they believe to be insomnia studies. What they do not know is that the professor in charge is actually conducting experiments on human fear. As the days and nights pass, the group slowly begins to learn the terrifying secret behind the house’s former owner. They soon realize that the house is pure evil, and they must battle a terrifying spirit to escape the house of nightmares. (from imdb.com)

As a group participates in a sleep study, they realize the house they’re staying in is haunted…..I love this movie, it’s just fun.

Catherine Zeta Jones is hysterical as a self-obsessed fashion-aholic.

So what are some of your favorite ghost movies and TV shows? Why do you think them, what is so appealing about the concept of communicating with the dead?

This month’s theme, is ‘Time Traveling’, so staff members have transformed our original features to fit that theme. So with our monthly must-see movies & TV shows, we made them all about ‘Time Travel’!

Lets take a trip back in time, shall we?? OBS has complied many movies & TV shows that we think are ‘must-see’ when it comes to “Time Traveling”.

Must-See Movies about Time Travel

Terminator

The year is 1984. Lighting emanates from above a garbage truck, knocking out power. The driver sees an object ahead of him and flees as the electrical surge dissipates. The object is a man (Arnold Schwarzenegger), naked and muscular, and he stands up and starts walking toward the city where he is spotted by three young punks. The man orders the men to give him their clothes, and the punks produce knives in response. The giant swats two punks aside, the third stabs him, but the giant tears open the punk’s body and kills him, for the giant is a cyborg, a machine-being within the outer body of a human. The cyborg is from the year 2029, where artificial intelligence has launched nuclear annihilation and humans fight to survive extermination led by a courageous man known as John Connor. The machines have discovered the secret of time travel and have sent this cyborg, known as a Terminator, back in time to stop the birth of John Connor. Source – IMDB

Dawn’s Thoughts
I was 11 when Terminator came out. I was immediately taken with the love story between Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese. For any science fiction/time travel fan, this is a must see movie. The intricate plot and great acting make it a fun movie to watch. Even now, when I see it on TV, I’ll stop and watch. It draws me in every time.

Deja Vu

In Algiers, New Orleans, an explosion of a ferry transporting sailors from the USS Nimitz and their families on a Mardi Gras excursion causes 543 casualties. Lonely ATF agent Doug Carlin (Denzel Washington) is assigned to investigate the terrorist attack.

He is informed by Sheriff Reed (John McConnell) about the corpse of a woman, Claire Kuchever (Paula Patton), that washed up on shore. Her body was found one hour before the explosion, but burnt with the same explosive. The agents believe that her death was meant to look like part of the explosion, but the body arrived too soon. Doug also learns that his partner, Agent Larry Minuti (Matt Craven), was evidently killed in the bombing.

Doug is invited by FBI Agent Pryzwarra (Val Kilmer) to join an experimental surveillance team led by Jack McCready (Bruce Greenwood). The team shows him moving images of the ferry boarding, from any and every angle. He watches the hundreds of people moving around, and after a few minutes starts firing questions at the team about a technology that can provide this type of live surveillance from four days ago (4 days, 6 hours, 3 minutes, 45 seconds). They explain that it is via a system of satellites, and that it takes four days to assemble the information so that it can be viewed just one time. He asks pointedly how satellites are providing audio, and the team looks startled but provides an explanation. Source IMDB.com

Dawn’s Thoughts:
Val Kilmer, Denzel Washington, James Caviezel, basically all the cast were excellent in Deja Vu. I felt the movie was VERY undervalued.Doug Carlin fell in love with Claire Kuchever by watching her in the past. He was willing to do whatever it took to go back and save her life as well as the life of his partner. Carroll Oerstadt played by Caviezel was creepy as the evil killer.

Kate & Leopold

Filmmaker James Mangold follows his Oscar-winning drama Girl, Interrupted(1999) with this whimsical fantasy. Meg Ryan stars as Kate McKay, a modern female executive in New York City whose drive to succeed in the cutthroat corporate world has left little time for romance. When her genius ex-boyfriend Stuart (Liev Schreiber) opens a portal in time, the experiment transports Leopold (Hugh Jackman) from 1867 to the present day. A charming bachelor and the royal “Third Duke of Albany” in his own time, Leopold is fascinated by the 21st century. As the courtly Leopold and the decidedly liberated Kate tour the town, a mutual attraction develops into something deeper, a relationship that’s threatened by Leopold’s temporary chronological status…. Source Moviefone

Kate’s Thoughts:
Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman make perfect leads for this film. The banter they exchange is executed perfectly and they really make a great on-screen couple. I highly recommend this time-traveling, ‘girl night’ movie to anyone!

Timeline (2003)

Directing his first film since 1998’s Lethal Weapon 4, Richard Donner helmed this big-budget adaptation of Michael Crichton’s novel of the same name. Featuring a script by first-time screenwriter George Nolfi, Timeline begins in France in the near future. A group of students from Yale are there studying a medieval site, when their professor, played by Billy Connolly, mysteriously goes missing. To make matters more enigmatic, the students are then taken back to the United States by a shadowy technology company called ITC, led by Robert Doniger (David Thewlis). The eccentric Doniger explains that because of a machine that his company built, their professor is trapped in 14th century France. In order to rescue him, two of the students, Chris Hughes (Paul Walker) and Kate Erickson (Frances O’Connor), along with Andre Marek (Gerard Butler), an archeological site manager, must travel to France, circa 1357, amid archaic war, deadly diseases, and other unexpected pitfalls. Meanwhile, David Stern (Ethan Embry), a third student, stays behind to keep an eye on the shady Doniger. Source Moviefone

Kate’s Thoughts:
The actors in this movie were excellent. Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge fan of Gerard Butler, and in the beginning that was why I saw the movie. But this ensemble cast was fantastic. Billy Connolly was amazing as usual and Frances O’Connor did a phenomenal job of a strong, independent scientist.

The best part of this film is that once they went back in time the clock did not stop for anything. They were thrust into a past that they only have seen on paper and it was death for anyone who made a mistake. This film will definitely keep your heart pumping until the very end.

Must-See TV Shows about Time Travel

Stargate SG-1 by Erin

Season 2, Episode 21: “1969”
A solar flare sends SG-1 back in time thirty years to 1969. Captured by military police at Cheyenne Mountain, they must find a way to escape and find the Stargate in order to return to the present. They get help from a very interesting source.

SG-1 goes back to 1969: they are accused of being Russian spies, escape (thanks to an old friend) and get a ride across the country in a hippie van. If that’s not enough, then let me illustrate:

Plus the science behind gate focused time travel sounds plausible.

Season 4, Episode 6: “Window of Opportunity”
After an encounter with an archaeologist and an Ancient device on P4X-639, O’Neill and Teal’c keep repeating the same 10 hour period over and over-but they’re the only ones who can recall all of the events, so they’re the only ones who can stop it.

Jack and Teal’c start out by trying to undo the time loop: helping Carter with simulations and Daniel with translations, but after Daniel suggests they could do anything they wanted because there would be no consequences, they start to have fun. This is one of my favorite SG-1 episodes, period. I recommend this one especially for anyone who desperately wants Jack and Sam together.

Lost by Kate

The initial season had fourteen major roles getting star billing, making it American television’s largest cast at the time of the series’ debut. Naveen Andrews portrayed former Iraqi Republican Guard Sayid Jarrah. Emilie de Ravin played the pregnant Australian Claire Littleton. Until later in the season, de Ravin is only credited in the episodes that she appears in. Matthew Fox acted as the troubled surgeon, leader of the group and protagonist Jack Shephard. Jorge Garcia portrayed Hugo “Hurley” Reyes, an unlucky lottery winner. Maggie Grace played Shannon Rutherford, a former dance teacher. Josh Holloway acted as con man James “Sawyer” Ford. Yunjin Kim played Sun-Hwa Kwon, the daughter of a powerful Korean businessman and mobster, with Daniel Dae Kim as her husband Jin-Soo Kwon. Evangeline Lilly portrayed fugitive Kate Austen. Dominic Monaghan acted as an ex-rock star drug addict Charlie Pace. Harold Perrineau portrayed construction worker Michael Dawson, while child actor Malcolm David Kelley acted as his young son, Walt Lloyd. Ian Somerhalder played Boone Carlyle, chief operating officer of his mother’s wedding business and step brother of Shannon. Terry O’Quinn played the mysterious John Locke. Source Wikipedia

Kate’s Thoughts
Every time I hear that someone doesn’t watch Lost because they don’t “get” it, I ALWAYS say, ‘You have to start from the beginning!’. I was not a fan of the show because first I started halfway through the second season and I was totally lost, no pun intended. But when I heard how so many people loved the show I decided to give it a shot and started from the beginning, and now I am hooked! There are many small details about each person on the island that are only noticed as the seasons progress, and details about the island itself are revealed very slowly throughout.

The highlights of this season are the characters. Each episode revolves around a character from the crash. Characters pasts and their relationships to each other are revealed in each episode. The best part of these revelations is that people are not always who they seem to be, and it is great fun seeing who these people were before their life was completely altered.

So for a time-traveling, mind-altering show, Lost is definitely the one to see!

X-Files By Dawn

“Triangle” is the third episode of the sixth season of the television series The X-Files, premiered by the Fox network on November 22, 1998. The episode was written and directed by series creator Chris Carter.

Fox Mulder races to a luxury passenger liner on the edge of the Bermuda Triangle which has mysteriously appeared. Once there, he realizes he has travelled back in time to September 3, 1939 and the outbreak of World War II. Nazi soldiers have boarded the ship in search of “Thor’s Hammer”, something that could ensure victory in the coming conflict. As Mulder arrives, the soldiers and the British crew are fighting for control of the ship. Source Wikipedia

Dawn’s Thoughts
I was away from home when this episode came out and I recall demanding that my mother tape it for me. LOL! I watched it over and over again.Watching Mulder and Scully try to outwit the Germans was so much fun. The whole episode was beyond bizarre but it’s still one of my favorites from all the seasons of the show.

What did you think of this month’s edition? Did we miss any ‘must-see’ movies or TV shows?

As you know this month has been dedicated to  “Sookie Stackhouse Series/True Blood”. All month long, we have transformed our original features to go along with the world that Charlaine Harris created, or the hot actors of the hit HBO show ‘True Blood’.

SEASON 1 & SEASON 2 OF ‘TRUE BLOOD’ by Caro
If it were for me I’d tell you to watch the whole both seasons, every episode has its own reason why to watch it, but here are a few that you must see. Feel free to give us your opinions and if there’s another one you would have liked to see.

Season 1

Episode 1: Strange Love
Aired- September 7, 2008

This is a definitely must see episode. It’s the start of everything and the first time we get to see the characters in flesh and bones. Vampire Bill comes into Merlotte’s, sits in Sookie’s section and the rest is history.

After seeing the dead body of her grandmother, Jason’s reaction toward what happened and yelling that it should had been her, Sookie cry’s and grief’s over the last pie her grandma did, to at the end rest in the arms of Vampire Bill.

Episode 10: I Don’t Wanna Know

Bill is forced to turn Jessica into a vampire and get’s buried in the ground with her. Sam and Sookie search for the girl of her visions to end up knowing that…yes, he is the killer.

Episode 12: You’ll Be the Death of Me
Aired- November 23, 2008

Season finale’s are always a must see, and this one had a lot of action. Not only did we got introduced to the next season’s new characters but we got to see the Killer chase Sookie to the woods, cemetery and then almost kill her! You must see it, Bill risked his life by coming into the sun light, showing his love for Sookie.

Season 2

Episode 1: Nothing But the Blood
Aired – June 14, 2009

This episode is a must see for the way Eric “handles situations” and also you got to love him with foil on his hair. But we also see where and who had Lafayette, Jessica’s other side and the Light of Day Leadership.

Episode 3: Scratches
Aired – June 28, 2009

Don’t you just love a scary scene where something creepy and mysterious follows you through the woods? Jessica, Sookie and Bill act like a big loving family? Jessica giving love advice to Bill? Then it’s a must see. We also get to see Eric and Pam at Fangtasia “He can do it. I’m wearing my favorite pumps.” and Sookie rescue Lafayatte, a good episode to watch.

Episode 4: Shake and Fingerpop
Aired – July 12, 2009

As the more time Jason spends in The Fellowship of the Sun, he comes to understand that vampires are no game and that war is coming. Bill starts to act more like a parent than a maker, and while Sookie arrives to Dallas with two vampires in coffins and a few little bottles in her hands she finds out that some had come to kidnap them. Not to mention that Sookie finds another telepath like her. An episode that’s fun to see.

Episode 8: Timebomb
Aired – August 9, 2009

A few of the reasons that you must see this episode are Godric saving the day, Eric sacrificing himself for Sookie and the others, Jason and Sarah’s paint fight, an “it’s mine” fight over Bill between Lorena and Sookie, but mostly because of what happens at the end. The title of the episode says it all “timebomb”.

Episode 9: I Will Rise Up
Aired – August 16, 2009

For all the fans that Godric gained, this is for you. A must see, were you’ll get to see the “pretty blond lady on TV” as Eric once said, the results of the bomb, and Sookie’s new feelings over Eric.

Episode 10: New World in My View
Aired – August 23, 2009

“It is me. The god who comes!”. Jason, Sookie and Bill return to Bon Temps to find that everyone if under Maryann’s control. And while Andy and Jason rescue Sam he reveals that he’s shifter. An episode that has a little of everything.

MUST SEE TRUE BLOOD ACTOR by Dawn

Anna Paquin

X-Men – The Last Stand
When a cure is created, which apparently can turn any mutant into a normal human being, there is outrage amongst the mutant community. Whilst some mutants do like the idea of a cure, including Rogue, many mutants find that there shouldn’t be a cure. A teenage runaway mutant who has found a home at Xavier’s school and falls in love with Bobby Drake. When she touches someone she absorbs their life force, their powers (if they are a mutant) and, if she holds on too long, she ends their life. She only uses her powers one time in the film, when she absorbs Colossus’ power to protect herself from the Sentinel. (Source IMDB)

Anna plays Rogue in this installment of X-Men. A cure, that takes away their powers, is found for mutants. Sadly, Rogue decides to take it so she can be with her boyfriend.

The Piano

It is the mid-nineteenth century. Ada is a mute who has a young daughter, Flora. In an arranged marriage she leaves her native Scotland accompanied by her daughter and her beloved piano. Life in the rugged forests of New Zealand’s South Island is not all she may have imagined and nor is her relationship with her new husband Stewart. She suffers torment and loss when Stewart sells her piano to a neighbor, George. Ada learns from George that she may earn back her piano by giving him piano lessons, but only with certain other conditions attached. At first Ada despises George but slowly their relationship is transformed and this propels them into a dire situation. (Source IMDB)

Anna plays Flora McGrath, the daughter, in The Piano. This was one of her first movies and she shows a lot of promise as an actress. It’s a great film that won 3 Oscars.

What do you think of our picks for the ‘must-see’ episodes of ‘True Blood’ and our movie picks for Anna Paquin? Did we miss any other worthy ones?

OBS staff members have complied a list of movies and TV shows that actors/actresses from the upcoming flick ‘New Moon’ starred in. We think these shows and movies are definietly must-see, especailly to warm up to ‘New Moon’! This is just ONE of the awesome features in our ‘New Moon November’!

Rachelle Levefre
 
Movie name: Do you know me 2009 (Caro’s Pick)

Review: Ellie Carter is recently graduated and has it all. While celebrating with friend and boyfriend, she comes across a milk carton with a picture of a missing child that looks a lot like her. As a prank, they call the toll free number and she realizes that this person could be her. The more she finds out, the closer she gets to getting herself and beloved ones killed. This movie had intense scenes, different from seeing her as Victoria, but a good movie.

Movie Name: Untraceable 2008 (Dawn’s Pick)

Review: Billy Burke plays Detective Eric Box. It’s a race against the clock as they try to figure out the identity of the man who is torturing/killing people and putting it on the internet. Although it’s graphic and sickening at times, it’s an interesting movie and definitely worth seeing.

Movie Name: Fracture 2007

Review: Fracture is one of my all time favorites. Billy Burke is perfect as Lt. Robert ‘Rob’ Nunally, the man having an affair with Ted Crawford’s wife. Detective Nunally is called to the scene of a crime, where he finds his lover shot by her husband. Despite confessing, Ted Crawford wiggles his way out of it. Sadly Nunally dies at the end, but his character plays a pivotal part in in the movie.

Jaime Campbell Bower

Movie Name: Sweeny Todd 2007 (Erin’s Pick)

Review: You’re probably not the least but interested in this if you don’t like blood, but just to be safe: this is a bloody movie. But it’s a well done adaptation from the stage, and actors you didn’t know could sing do an amazing job. Jamie Campbell Bower actually has an amazing voice, and you worry about his Anthony getting involved with Sweeney from the get go. With Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, you know it’ll be well acted. Funny and incredibly morbid blend well together; just don’t see it if you’re going to be eating soon.

Jackson Rathbone

TV Show: Criminal Minds 2009 (Chris’s pick)

Review: Jackson gave an amazing performance in this drama tv series. He was the killer in this episode, but with a multiple personailty disorder, his ‘normal’ side, was a scared young guy that could be very innocent, his counterpart was a female with a nasty lust for vengence. He/She takes on young good looking men, that are the typical jerks. Jackson really protrayed the tormented character to a ‘T’, felt so real, and made me see that this young man is a fantastic actor.

This is part one of three for Must-See List ‘New Moon Actor Edition’, so don’t miss out on the next one!

What do you think about these movies and TV shows? Have you seen them, are they must-see, and do you have any suggestions for this special edition of Must-See list?

OBS staff members have complied a list of supernatural movies & television shows, that we believe are ‘Must-See’ if you are a fan of the supernatural genre. At the first of every month we will post 2 movies and 2 television shows.

Must-See MOVIES:
 

John Carpenters Vampire (1998) Emily-June’s pick

Xena: Warrior Princess 1995  Emily-June’s Pick

OBS Staff member Emily-June had this to say: At first Xena is a merciless warrior-princess. She deprecates, kills and steals. Because of Hercules affect she’s bethinking. One day she meets Gabrielle and her energy of life and pureness makes Xena changing. Since this day she is fighting for the rights and for good.

But to be honest – I watched this series because of Xenas short lether-skirts (I always wanted this outfit!), the weapons (I have a Chakram), the funny not-real-can-be fights and because of Joxer! Joxer thinks he is a really great fighter but for real he is a very clumsy fellow. Stumbling from one funny accident into the other. But his heart is really good and he becomes a good friend of Xena and Gabrielle. And he is in love with Gabrielle, but (sadly) she not with him.

She-Ra: Princess of Power (1985-1987) Nikki’s Pick

OBS Staff member Nikki had this to say: I grew up idolizing She-Ra, like so many of us 80’s girls!
You might ask why? She-Ra always looked amazing, didn’t take guff from anyone and didn’t let anything get in her way. She was so GIRL POWER before the Spice Girls were even wearing platforms! Oh, and did I mention she had a winged Unicorn?! She was just SO COOL!

A brief synopsis (from IMDB):
Princess Adora raises her magic sword and becomes She-Ra, the most powerful woman in the universe, to aid her friends in defeating the Evil Horde so their planet Etheria can be free. The kidnapped daughter of Queen Marlena and King Randor of Eternia (characters from He-man and the Masters of the Universe), Princess Adora grew up in Etheria. There, she lead an evil army until the day her long lost twin brother, Prince Adam (He-man), came to tell her who she really was. As her alter ego, She-ra, the princess protects Etheria by fighting the forces she once worked for.

OBS Contributor, Chris, has a wonderful new feature for the OBS Speaks Out.

OBS must see-list is a NEW monthly feature.

OBS staff members have complied a list of supernatural movies & television shows, that we believe are ‘Must-See’ if you are a fan of the supernatural genre. At the first of every month we will post 2 movies and 2 television shows.

Must-See MOVIES:

UNDERWORLD (2003) Dawn’s Pick

OBS Admin Dawn had this to say: “This was one of the first Vampire movies I purchased. I love how they weaved a history for Lycans and Vampires going back centuries and feeding the feud. The visual effects were great
Viktor, Lucian and Kraven were great in their roles. Selene was such a sexy vampire. And her love story with Michael (a Lycan) was believable and fun.”

PAN’S LABYRINTH (2007) Staar84’s pick

OBS Staff member Staar84 had to say this: “A little girl finds a labyrinth when she and her mother move into the home of her new stepfather. Inside she finds a world where she is not only loved, but a princess. Not all of the creatures in her new world are nice, there is a creature who eats children, and you’re not sure whether the Pan of the title is good or evil until the very end.

Must-See Television Shows

V AND V: THE FINAL BATTLE (1983-4 MINI-SERIES OF 5 TOTAL EPISODES) Gigi’s Pick

OBS Staff member Gigi had this to say: “I do not recommend the 19 episode series that proceeded the original films, known as mini-series.  But if you want a real mind warp from the ’80s, V and V:TFB is it.  Having depleted their own planet’s resources, an alien species flees to planet Earth, where their human-like appearance and friendly attitude gain them acceptance from their human co-habitants.”

FIREFLY (2002) Staar84’s Pick

OBS Staff member Staar84 had this to say:“Set far in the future after an intergalactic war, a group of rebels (Browncoats, in this case) work on board a Firefly class cargo ship, Serenity, doing odd jobs (sometimes illegally) to pay for food and supplies. A combination of Sci-fi and Western, it has futuristic action as well as good old-fashioned bar brawls.”
