A To Z Blogger Challenge 2013: Day 20 - T Is For Time Crimes

I have featured some pretty popular movies and actresses so far on this road through the 2013 A to Z Blogger Challenge, but now I am taking a turn down a more obscure path. Time Crimes (its streaming on netflix...get too it) is one of the most surprising movies I have ever seen in my life. I was so taken aback by it after I watched it, that I watched it immediately watched it again... yup, right back to back. The premise is insane, and executed so well by director Nacho Vigalando. He really does the whole time travel theme a real service, and pairing TC with recent films like Looper, Source Code, and Primer shows that there is originality in this oft used trope. One of the best parts about this Spanish import is the cast. I love unfamiliar foreign casts, but I was especially smitten by Barbara Goenaga, who plays the girl in the woods. Her character is so important to the whole movie storyline, and her looks make her much harder to take her eyes off. All in all, a great movie, a fantastic cast, and another hot chick in the list of hotties used here in the A to Z Blogger Challenge.

A to Z Blogging Challenge - Day #20 - Letter T - The Tardis

The Tardis throughout the history of Dr. Who

I have recently become enamored with the British TV hit Dr. Who, so what better to celebrate the letter T then to salute the Tardis. For those of you out there who never watched Dr. Who (do it know... its all on Netflix Instant!) the Tardis (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space) is the time machine that allows the good Doctor and his companion(s) to travel through time and space. It is in the shape of a 50's London police call box so as to blend in an ordinary object, and many explanations have been given as to why it stays that way. The most popular is that the ship has a faulty "chameleon circuit" and is forced to keep re-using this disguise.

Tardis In Flight

The Dr. Who franchise is well over 50 years old and has seen many forms, yet the Tardis is the one constant that always remains unchanged. I never watched the show before a few weeks ago, yet I have long associated that London police box with the series despite not knowing anything about it. In England the word "Tardis" is often used to describe any space that is bigger inside than it appears to be outside (thats a wikifact right there son!). It's tempermental, and doesn't always cooperate with it's Time Lord master, but it is super cool and iconic nonetheless.
