Showing posts with the label movies

"Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who is fairest of them all."

June is almost coming to an end, and I haven't been diligent in writing on my blog. The reason is, that I have lacked things to write about. I am just now able to sit down and think of words that have any meaning to me, which is a great feeling. My first blog post back from obscurity will be doing a review on a movie I recently saw at the movies, so here goes. "Snow White and the Huntsman" As most people know, Kristen Stewart of Twilight fame is in this movie. I have to admit, I came prepared to hate her guts when I decided to go see this movie. Yet, I found her very entertaining and she conveyed with great ease, the feelings of Snow White. So no, I actually did not end up hating her performance. Apart from some accent slip ups, she did incredibly well in this role. When that girl smiles, her whole face changes to that of a woman with an incredibly angelic face. I can not explain it, but she seems like her  when she smiles. The moronic pout she sports in Twilight is...

Day 20 - Almost there.

I've had a great day today. Visited my friend Kristine and we just ate great food, talked and watched great movies and some not so great. I love my friends more than anything. Especially the ones you can just be yourself with, without question. Those are the best. I don't know much else to say, than this experiment has taught me that I have amazing people in my life. In far away places and near to me. I think that's one of the meanings of life. Having friends that will be there for you when you need them. Friends who love you. I am blessed in that way, yet sometimes I forget it. Not on purpose, but I'm going to try to be better at that. Tip of the day: Whatever you do, don't watch "The Woman". The most horrendous and screwed up movie I've ever seen. Coming from someone that's watched "Human Centipede". Love + Blessings

Day 16 - Doing a countdown now, 5 days to go...

As I'm now in the home stretch I am getting very antsy about getting back onto the grid if I may... In some way I'm having withdrawal from Facebook because all I've heard in commercials today is "facebook this and facebook that". You don't really realize how much Facebook is integrated into everything. Newspapers, tv commercials, it's all over the place... It's getting kind of frustrating to me. Even my brother is starting to notice how much Facebook gets mentioned in both news and commercials. It's quite ridiculous actually. On another note, I just received my "Millennium" box set from Amazon, and I love that tv show. It is seriously one of the best crime/paranormal drama's in the realm of tv. Plus, Lance Henriksen is just one badass dude in this show. All episodes are an hour, so it takes a while to get through 3 seasons of it, but I am more than looking forward to spending an hour or two in his company. He's a very compassion...

Day 7 - Keeping busy and structured.

I started today, finally getting back on track with my sleeping cycle. I woke up at a much better hour today than the last 5 days, which is really healthy. Also, my youngest brother and I made home made deep pan pizza and cocoa buns. It was really great to be in the kitchen and make something from scratch, plus it's incredibly rewarding to eat something you've made without anything that's premade. Hopefully tomorrow we'll go back into the kitchen and make some great stuff. I want to make something great for tomorrow night and dinner. I'm thinking something with either chicken or pork chops. And I reall want to make some salad to accompany dinner. It feels great to have something lighter with the rest of the meal. Anyway, I can't believe I've reached forty hours on Skyward Sword. I've been playing through some side quests today and even though it's not been the most interesting things I've done (finding baby rattles and giving stamina potions to...

NYCC and True Blood

I'm a big nerd, and I love all things comics and movies. I must say one of my biggest reasons for wanting to go to NYCC (New York Comic Con) is to meet the one and only Kevin Smith. Ever since I saw Clerks I fell in love with that man and how he had a way with dialogue. Ever since Clerks, I've enjoyed all of his movies. Well, except Jersey Girl, that was not a great film. My favorites would be Chasing Amy. For some reason that movie just grabbed a hold of me and I was hooked. Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Mallrats were awesome too, but I'm sure that the new "Red State" will have me hooked as well. That man really found a way to make me ponder about life and faith. Especially in Dogma. Whether he intended to or not (haven't researched it) but I found myself having a newfound respect for my own faith after watching this movie. How he could continually question faith and why we as a people want to believe in it was amazing to me. My favorite is st...
