My $1.01 on TROY (the film) …
Okay, so I’m a bit behind on my movie watching, but I did watch TROY on DVD the other evening. TROY was “epic” in every sense of the word –elaborated scenes & costumes, huge battles with lots of gore and heavy emotional storylines! It was like an ancient soap opera, but in a *good* way. I was very impressed with the outstanding lineup of top-notch actors and the wonderful, stunning visuals of the film too!



IMHO, put aside your classics textbook and just enjoy the film. TROY definitely will keep you engrossed from start to climatic finish! I only have two complaints. First, I missed seeing TROY on the big screen, so I didn’t get the maximized visual effect of the big, majestic scenes. Ah well. Second, my only gripe within the styled-retelling of the story was that the Greek pantheon was terribly minimized and trivialized. Not cool.



Overall, if you’re looking for a DVD worth watching for an entertaining and engrossing “epic” experience, then TROY is it!

Well, that’s my $1.01, for what it’s worth –
Thx & Hugs,
Sabrina )O(

CRIMSON AMBROSIA - An Excerpt
A M/M Dark Erotic Vampire Tale
By Sabrina Luna
CLICK HERE To Purchase

Silas watched the faces flickering in the glow of the golden flames of the campfire. He and Viktor would dine after all were asleep. Two or maybe three, but no more than that would be a good meal. He observed watching the clan as they interacted among themselves. Then, he saw him across the amber flames.

The slender young man stood beside Roth, the gypsy leader, sharing a mutual jest. Slowly, the youth’s gaze went to the fire, then over to where Silas was seated on a fallen log.

The lad’s dark, handsome features glowed in the firelight as he smiled over the blaze at Silas. Silas’ heart pounded in his chest as his manhood stirred with wanton lust. How many miles did he travel without the carnal bedcompany of a young man? Silas lost count. It was too long ago to even remember. His smile gleamed at Silas over the serpent-like hiss of the fire and his eyes reflected the red embers of the hot coals. Tonight, Silas promised himself, this handsome lad would be his!

Since Today's MY Birthday ...



10 Rules For A Long & Peaceful Life ...

1. Don't worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities.

2. Don't be fearful, for most of the things we fear never come to pass.

3. Face each problem as it comes. You can handle only one at a time.

4. Don't cross bridges before you get to them, for no one yet has succeeded in acommplishing this.

5. Don't take your problems to bed with you, for they make very poor bedfellows.

6. Don't borrow other people's problems. They can take better care of them than you can.

7. Be a good listener, for only when you listen do you hear ideas different from your own. It's very hard to learn something new when you're talking.

8. Don't try to relive yesterday for good or ill --it is gone. Concentrate on what is happening in your life today.

9. Don't become bogged down by frustration, for 50 percent of it is rooted in self-pity and will only interfere with prositive actions.

10. Count your blessings, never overlooking the small onles--a lot of small blessings add up to one BIG one.

Thanks to Everyone for the Bday Wishes --
Hugs,
Sabrina )O(

EXCERPT FROM CRIMSON HEART
A Dark Erotic Vampire Tale
By Sabrina Luna
CLICK HERE to order!

Alexander stood motionless for a moment by the bedside. He gazed down at her lovingly, mesmerized by his paramour’s beauty. The sensuous curves of her breasts rose and fell with every breath. Natasha’s creamy complexion glowed in the candle light, which accented her face’s angelic features. Her wheat-colored mane fanned out over the pillow like a golden halo. Natasha smiled up at him with her heart-shaped lips.

“Come to bed.” She gently coaxed. The sweetness of her invitation tugged at his heart. Carnal desire also burned through Xander’s body. In wicked response, his thickened cock strained with desperation. He quickly discarded the remainder of his clothing and slid into the bed beside her.

Scooping her into his arms, the heat of her body pressed against his cool skin. She was as warm as the candle’s flame and he, like a moth, was drawn to her with burning desire. Their lips came together in a passionate kiss. The taste of her mouth was like honey and as intoxicating as wine to his vampiric senses.

His tongue flickered over her neck, tracing over the thin, delicate lines of her pulse. Tension tightened in his soul. Not now. He silently cautioned himself as he struggled to remain in control. He kissed his way down over her breasts. Natasha let out a low moan.

“Oh yes!” She uttered, her voice low and raspy.

Alexander flicked his tongue over a nipple. He drew its firm tip between his lips and slowly, sensually suckled.

“Oh, you’re torturing me now.” Natasha squirmed in his embrace. Xander let go of her nipple with a gentle pop. He gazed into her eyes. Her blue eyes glimmered with arousal, mirroring his deeply seated emotions.

“You’re so luscious.” He smiled.

Natasha’s body shivered beneath him. Her seductive scent filled his senses. Sliding a hand down between his legs, she brushed his cock. “So are you, my prince.” She curled her fingers around the circumference of his erection. “And I want every inch of you.”

Seconds later, Steve’s patrol car whipped in behind the Mustang with its blue lights still flashing. Cassie drew a deep breath. She swung open the car door and stepped out of the Mustang to face the inevitable.

Steve leapt out of his patrol cruiser and stomped towards her. His jaw was squared, his eyes burning as he fumed, “Just what the hell do you think you’re doing, Cassie? You were flying like a bat out of hell!”

Oh shit! He’s really mad. She winced. Perhaps I went too far, she thought with a pang of regret. However, it was too late now. It was time to face the music.

“I was just trying to get air out of the fuel line,” she hastily explained, but her voice quivered under the weight of his stern glare.

“I should haul your ass to jail,” Steve snapped with an air of authority. He firmly placed his hands on his hips.

She swallowed hard. “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize…” Her voice trailed off as her gaze flickered from the officer’s hot stare to the silver handcuffs dangling from his belt. “You wouldn’t, would you, Steve?”

“Don’t tempt me, Sunflower.” The low growl of his voice tugged at something primal deep inside her being. Slowly, she drew her eyes up to meet his gaze. Her eyes widened as her teeth sank into her bottom lip. The heaviness of his authority only added fuel to her inner fire, kindling a wicked flame between her thighs.

Cassie blushed. “I’m sorry, Steve. Really. I only thought—“

“Thought?” He retorted with a smirk. “What you did was very foolish! You could have lost control of that Mustang, as fast as you were going!”

The hair bristled on her neck as she felt a spark of defiance shoot through her. “What do you mean, lose control? I happen to be a damn fine driver, Steve Tanner, and you know it! Or have you forgotten what it’s like to have a little fun?”

She saw him take a deep breath as he took a step back from her. He seemed stunned by her outburst. Cassie, however, couldn’t read his mood. She only felt the burning of her own anger mixed with adrenaline that still pumped through her veins.

“Okay.” Steve exhaled with a nod. “Turn around with your hands on the hood where I can see them. Legs spread.” Steve touched his belt where the silver cuffs glimmered in the afternoon sunlight.

“You’re not serious,” she hissed in disbelief. Her voice, however, was a mere whisper.

“Do it now, Cassie,” he commanded.

Cassie slowly turned, her face flushing crimson as she laid her palms on the heated hood of the Mustang. This is crazy! He’s nuts! Her mind raced while her heart pounded wildly in her chest.

“Spread your legs wider.” His voice was even and firm. Any hint of emotion seemed to be now well contained, once again replaced by a cool, confident demeanor. She let out a heavy sigh. “Oh, all right. I’ll cooperate.” She felt Steve step behind her. Cassie gradually attempted to look over her shoulder.

“Keep your eyes forward,” Steve firmly reprimanded her. She quickly snapped her eyes back ahead. She licked her lips nervously. Dad and Sam are sure gonna be pissed about this, she thought. Her stomach churned with tension. What was her mother going to say? She knew she’d never hear the end of it.

She felt the warmth of his big hands as he began at her ankles. With slow, fluid movements he moved up her calves. A twinge of arousal panged in her sex as his hands brushed her thighs. Cassie gasped. This was not a standard frisk!

TGIF - Pirates!

Oh yes, the boys of summer are back –Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 3: AT WORLD’S END! No, I’m not going to spoil the movie for you. I will say that if you’ve been following the (mis)adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow, then (if you haven’t already), you must see its conclusion.
After the darker toned themes of last year’s movie, POC 3 is definitely dark too –in other words, I don’t recommend it for small kids. IMHO, the plot ‘zigged’ when I thought it would ‘zag’ making the ending satisfactory, yet somewhat surprising!
OH! Don’t forget to stay wayyy after the credits for a small epilogue, which, in my opinion, is well-worth the long wait.

On my 1-10 movie scale, I give POC 3 an *8* –and it will be added to my keeper shelf when it comes to DVD.

Have a Great Weekend,
Sabrina )O(
