You have no idea


It just stays there.  It sets up camp, lights a fire, and slowly burn out, but when it’s about to, petrol is added and it’s aflame again.

Not that it’s on purpose.  Or maybe it is?  It’s not surprising if we only remember the bad parts of it.

And words stick like paint to the wall.  And we try to undo it really, we try our best to forget, and but then that’s it.  Words are said — and most of the time, they are ugly words — but they’re just out there.  In the air.  The same one you breathe in and out everyday.

And yes, I believe it’s the same thing the other way around too.

REVIEW: The Descendants (2011)

The first thing that I found I had in common with Tita Maggie, is George Clooney.  I remember that day well.  We were in the kitchen and I was telling her why Grey’s Anatomy is a must see for her.  She then started crooning about ER and I said one person made that show great.  We simultaneously cooed, “George Clooney.”

That’s exactly what happened last Friday night.  After discovering I have completely lost my voice to fatigue, I made myself comfortable and started playing The Descendants.  Mr. Clooney played his part so well that my heart repeatedly broke.  And Hawaii never looked better.

The movie starts with a narration of Honolulu-based lawyer Matt King (Clooney).  He is the sole trustee of a prized piece of land on the island of Kaua’i.  His wife was in a motorboat accident that rendered her comatose.  Now, this “back up” parent has to learn to manage all the balls in the air:  his two daughters who are growing increasingly more difficult to deal with, his family who urges him to sell the Kaua’i property, and the citizens watching his every move.

A Good Question

 

I have not dared to even answer this question, mainly because a million different ideas came to mind.  Seriously, a million different ideas of varying proportions and fluctuating priorities.  But then it’s a pretty good one.  This should be the kind of questioning you can ask at a pageant to actually get intriguing results.  At least, for me.

So when I get my answer, I’ll let you know.  What’s yours?

REVIEW: Like Crazy (2011)

Do you remember my post a few weeks back when I was still so energized to constantly update as I am now feeling quite disheartened with my lack of specialized writing skills when I posted all about the gory bits?  That came from 2011’s Before Sunrise/Before Sunset film, Like Crazy.

Like Crazy stars Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones as Jacob and Anna, who fell in love in college.  Anna, staying in the US on a student visa, impulsively decided to spend the summer with this hot new passionate exciting love and only went back to the UK for a family event.
