movie

Those words.

Now that I have fully expressed my dismay for the loss of my wallet (sigh), I am ready to be wooed.

Don’t get me wrong; it’s not like a lack romance in my life.  After all these years, Dylan has managed to surprise me and it still puzzles me how he manages to do it when there’s so much more to do.

And though he’s not really the most eloquent of writers, he knows how to blow me away.

I think he took this to heart:

A 1989 movie quote is still acceptable today.

So guys, man up.  Laziness will not do.

 

REVIEW: The Descendants (2011)

/ iamsupercarla / Leave a comment

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.

I am looking forward to be Perk’d.

I read this book early this year and it has rekindled my love for young adult stories.  I know I seem to old for it, but I don’t really give a flying F.

Marga repeatedly told me that it was depressing, but for some reason, I found it comforting.  Maybe because it’s a good indication that I’m just among the many troubled minds out there, and just like them, I too seek clarity.

Here’s the official trailer of The Perks of Being a Wallflower:


And this being an Emma Watson post-Potter flick is just a plus.


Tell me you’re excited too! :)

REVIEW: The Avengers

I don’t know why I delayed watching The Avengers so much.  I guess it’s mostly because I didn’t really get to become an ultimate fanatic when we were watching the cartoons and reading the comic books when we were kids younger.  When Dylan invited me to watch the movie, I said yes, and lemme just say, he was excited from start to finish.

I don’t know if there’s someone out there who hasn’t seen it, so let me put my review/reaction under the cut.

Day 19: iTunes First

/ iamsupercarla / Leave a comment

Day 19 is the first song alphabetically in my iPod/iTunes.

Since the iPod is far more accessible for me right now, here it is.  (I like that this day is quite a no brainer.)

First on my playlist is Counting Crows.

Who doesn’t love that song?

I remember hearing this song while I was still in Convergys.  I really like this song and then Dylan just started singing it out loud, and I realized that he has all the lyrics down.  Hahahaha.

Good times. :)
