The Haunting in Connecticut: A (Real) Film Review

***Spoiler Alert***

The Haunting in Connecticut

The other day I received an interesting email. As I read it, I thought very little of it. “Why tittle your posts ‘Film Review’ if they are not real and professional?”Well, for one, this is not a professional’s website. It is just my very own blog about my opinions on certain topics. I have just been watching a lot of movies, so the majority of the posts so far are about movies. If you want to read “…real film critic reviews…” I suggest you go to their professional sites. To answer one more question “Can you EVEN write real reviews? Do you EVEN know how?” I do. I took a Media class before and a big part of it was writing reviews for television shows, plays, and movies. This will probably be the ONLY professional review on my site. I turned this in during my class and got an “A” for it and was told it was very good. You wanted a “real” review so here it is.

Living & Learning

It’s summer. It doesn’t feel like it. The seasons are no more. Life stands still. Hanging by a thread. Emotions run deep. Scars widening. Tears drowning. Smiles closing down. Who is going to save me when you’re gone? Who will watch over me when you’re gone?

Little Ashes: A Film Review

***Spoiler Alert***

A compelling story about Salvador Dali and Federico Garcia Lorca

The other day I was looking for something new to watch when I came across a “featured” movie called Little Ashes. Since I had nothing better to do that day, I decided to watch the movie and give it a try after realizing that the movie was a sort of documentary/biography of the life of painter Salvador Dali and poet Federico Garcia Lorca. I am a big fan of Spanish Literature and had already learned enough about the works of Dali and Lorca during High School. What I witnessed in the movie was unlike anything else. Besides getting a look into the private life of young Dali and Lorca, the audience is also able to get a look into Spain’s society in the early 1900s. “Three rebels willing to take on the world. Two lovers risking it all. One story, untold until now.”

Random Ranting: SYTYCD Season 5

I cannot believe So You Think You Can Dance? has finally reached its 100th episode after five seasons. That is fantastic, congratulations to everyone who has made the show such a hit! As Cat Deeley said, “To the next one hundred!” I intend to see, and look forward to, those next one hundred episodes. Once again, congratulations.

Now, on a not so happy tone.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince : A Film Review

***Spoiler Alert***

Blogger with a Slytherin Shirt. HP Pride since 2001.

So, I have been a bit busy for the past week, but I am finally writing my review for the new Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I watched the movie the day it debuted in all movie theatres, July 15, 2009. I came into the mall that day very excited, eagerly awaiting the hour to start making line. After I picked up my tickets (I had already pre-ordered them online) I went to Hot Topic to buy a Slytherin T-Shirt. A true fan I tell you. I wondered around the mall with my sister for a while and then finally went to make line for the film. To my disappointment, it wasn’t very big and I was the only one wearing Harry Pottergear. I’m sure back in Los Angeles there would have been much more excitement, but it seems that here where I am everything is pretty slow and quiet. Anyways, then the movie started, and I was in for a thrill! NOTE: Serious spoiler content. If you have not watched the movie or read the book, please do not read ahead unless you don’t mind reading about the contents of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

So You Think You Can Dance? Favorites

So You Think You Can Dance? is among my favorite television shows. It makes me get the chills all over my body every now and then. It makes me think of my dreams and how hard I fight to complete them. It makes me visualize passion and every time I watch the show I become more passionate about what I do. Watching the show even makes me want to pull off a performance like them! (I’m sure it’d take me years to be like them!) I’ve watched every single season, and I just think it is an amazing show. Props to FOX. My favorites for this Season?

My top five, and why:

Expectations: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

***Spoiler Alert***

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince out July 15,2009

I have been watching and reading the Harry Potter Series since I was ten years old. As I grow up, so do the characters, the novels, and the films. The plots keep getting darker, stronger, and more entertaining. Although my journey with the Harry Potter Series books ended a while ago, the journey with the movies has not. In less than two weeks, in July 15, 2009, the sixth film in the Harry Potter Serieswill make its debut in the big screen: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I have many expectations from the movie, and I am sure I will not be disappointed, given the trailers. (Be aware this blog is labeled Spoiler Alert)

The Most Rewarding Thing

“A stranger is only a friend you haven’t met yet.”

Nowadays we see many things surrounding our world. Prejudice. Racism. Wars. Violence. Problems. Many people do not know what else there is. Many people do not stop in front of a flower to smell its scent nor to admire its beauty. People pass by the many flowers around them, preoccupied about the many issues that infiltrate their lives, the many issues that depress them, the many issues that stress them, and the many issues over which they are trying to find a solution. Is that really what life is all about? Is all we see damage? Is there more to life?
