Movie Review - The Forgotten**1/2

The Forgotten - 2004
Directed by: Joseph Ruben
Writing credits: Gerald Di Pego
Genre: Thriller / Sci-Fi / Drama / Mystery
Main Cast:
Julianne Moore ..…… Telly Paretta
Gary Sinise…………. Dr. Jack Munce
Dominic West .…….. Ash Correll

I have been criticized to be too lenient on this movie. The reason I say this is because I don't believe this movie sucked. I know I usually do enjoy many movies, more than I should. However, I have low expectation for all alien movies anyway. Most of them are usually goofy and completely unbelievable.

That being said, this was the first time I was pleased with the plausibility of an alien movie. I don't want to give any of the storyline away but the way the story unfolded, if you give in to the idea that aliens can control our thoughts the movie makes sense. Granted that is a HUGE if, but nonetheless not as weak as other hilarious theories attempted in other movies. What makes sense is the strength between a mother and child. The movie did drag on just a bit longer than it should. Overall This movie would be a recent retal, wait until it comes out on DVD. If you rent it you won't hate it.

Celebrity News - Cynthia Nixon

This one came as a shocker, after reading this my jaw dropped.

The actress, who just won an Emmy for her role as Miranda Hobbes in the hit HBO comedy, is in a relationship with another woman, a source who works with Nixon told The Associated Press on Friday. source| MSN Entertainment

Hey all I can say as long as she's happy all else is good! She has her kids now. Not that that's all that men are good for, but why bare to live with a man she's not attracted too?

Creative Branding

I was clearing out my inbox and found a forward from last month. I still laughed at the site of the picture so I deemed it worthy to post. Enjoy:

Canté El Dia De Ayer

La creatividad en español me viene mas facil. ¿Me pregunto por qué sera? Me recuerdo de un novio que tenía cuando era muy joven. Él y yo cantabamos versos que venian a nuestra mente del nada. Era mu lindo, pero confieso que algunas veces me sentía ridicula mientras cantaba. Bien dicen que uno no sabe lo que tiene hasta que lo pierde. Que no daria hoy, en tener ese joven muchacho romantico de nuevo a mi lado trayendo un poco de felicidad con la creatividad.

Te extraño querido.

Flash Movie - Your Colour Profile

Choose your color and determine what your color profile is.
What they told me:

You make sure that your financial decisions are safe and secure. You are wary of taking risks and are overly cautious that tends to let golden opportunities slip from your grasp!

Preferring a more casual appearance, you are more comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt than in a suit. You don't like over dressing for any occasion, although you never look scruffy.

You are aggressive in business, but tend to take the backseat when it comes to your personal life. You are more comfortable talking about work than relationships.

You are a very practical person. It's more important to you that the things you own are useful, rather than nice to look at.

A good listener. You are comfortable allowing others to take the spotlight and share their adventures. You are protective about your friendship and ensure the best for your friends.

You are very strong-willed, even bordering on stubborn. You like to take care of yourself before helping others, although you will never let people down.

Movie Review - Shaun of the Dead***

Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Directed by: Edgar Wright
Writing credits: Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright
Genre: Action / Comedy / Horror /
Main Cast:
Simon Pegg .... Shaun
Kate Ashfield .... Liz
Nick Frost .... Ed
Lucy Davis .... Dianne
Dylan Moran .... David
Nicola Cunningham .... Mary
Peter Serafinowicz .... Pete

I had a good time watching this movie. Shaun of the dead was a great spoof of the zombie movies and in turn resulted in being a good zombie movie itself. The first half of the movie concentrated on the comical side of the characters. Whether you’re a fan of British humor or not I will find it hard to believe that a person will not laugh out loud at least once! I enjoyed the gradual change from the comedy to action horror, which I'll confess was much less horror than it was more gory. Look out for a very gory and graphic scene. I seldom look away from horror flicks, but in this one I had no choice. It was unexpected and disgusting, but understandably a must if one is too truly spoof a zombie film.

un dia

"Escribeme, escribeme manana" grito Jorge mientras Mayla le soplaba un beso desde el porton azul de la calle. Acabaron de discutir las posibilidades que probablemente vengan por la decision que Mayla tuvo. Nada tiene que cambiar, es lo que pensaba inocentemente ella. Si el amor que sienten uno al otro es verdadero, porque tiene que cambiar simplemente por la distancia entre ellos por solo unos meses.

Mayla nunca fue una muchacha de impulsiones rapidas y menos de esas que alteraban la vida de ella y sus queridos tan drasticamente. Pero por esa misma razon, es por cual Mayla decidio viajar hoy. Ella savia muy bien que si se quedaba unos dias mas, ella misma se hubiera convencido en quedarse. Toda su vida ponia las necesidades y sentimientos de todos por delante de los suyos. Ella misma se enganaba de que los deseos de los demas eran en realidad los de ella. Nunca resentia la vida que vivia por complacer a su familia, novio, amigos, incluso unas quantas gentes estranas.

Pero eso se acabo. Hoy empieza una nueva etapa de su vida y una nueva manara de pensar y vivir. "Mayla soy yo, y Yo estoy primero en mi vida!" - asi exclamo la bella y aparentemente fragil muchacha ya una mujer decisiva.

Movie Review - Resident Evil **

Disappointing Evil

This sequel was a different type of movie than the first. At no time was I ever scared of the walking dead. I did like s few effects, which is the only reason one might opt to see this movie at the theater. Other than I don't recommend spending those $9. The story was very predictable and worse had many cheesy lines. Of course that is to be expected in an action film, which is what the movie ended up being. I suppose it more closely relates to it's game originator, but if that's what we wanted we are better off playing the actual game.

Headache

Wow I have a bad headache right now. My class is ending i about 5 minutes I can't wait to go back home and go to sleep. They were good today, I just suffered because of the pain in my head :(
It's funny how different things can cause headaches. The one I have now I know is due to lack of sleep. As usual I stayed up last night watching a movie. Last night "Duplex", I'll add rental reviews in the Movie section soon. Quick note it was just blah ;P

Well for quick reference here are headache causes:

Lack of sleep
hangover (consuption of too much liquor)
Stress
Too Much Crying
Head Injury (Duh)
Hormone imbalance (Don't freak out t his can be common)
Tumor (Don't freak out can be benign)


Will write more, going home now :)

QT Movie - Bush On OBGYN Love

Helpful Hint - Women

WORDS WOMEN USE WHAT THEY TRULY MEAN

FINE:
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

FIVE MINUTES:
If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

NOTHING:
This is the calm before the storm. This means "something," and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in "Fine"

GO AHEAD:
This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.

LOUD SIGH:
This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing"

THAT'S OKAY:
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

THANKS:
A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say you're welcome.

How Long? How Long?

I've heard you shouldn't question fate.
If it's meant to be it'll truly be.

I ask how long must I wait for the day to come
and be what was destined to be?

Yes I do believe I pushed away some chances.
Yes I know i've had luck in other aspects.

I regret most that long time love who loved me
but I was too immature to see.

I'm more than grown now, and reflect back often.
I always wonder till this day where is he?

He wasn't a perfect thing,
but I can now see he was my exact being.
A perfect match for me.

Around Town News - Russia

There has been so many events that I haven't had the time to write about. The topics that this blog focus on seem (correction ARE) so aloof in comparison to many devastating world events. I am deeply saddened to the horrid killings occuring in Russia. How can anyone overbear and seek to make a point by harming children? The innocence and well being of children should never be threatened. These kids are defenseless innocent beings that should have no part in these ridiculous terrorist acts. I always try to put myself in the other persons' point of view. I can understand that people want to be heard and taken seriously. However there is a line with trying to prove a point and sheer madness and cruelty. The massacre at the Russian school has no reasonable explanation.

What urks me more is the fact that our president makes no mention of these events and continues on his normal planned activities of self promotion. This goes for all politicians. I have always been a bit ticked off at the fact that an elected official doesn't continue with his job responsibilities, that he was elected to perform and instead travels around running for office. ALL of them do this, they decide they want a higher post and try to gain exposure by raising a campaign and STOP WORKING. George Bush campaigned for re-election, and makes no mention of the Russian Events.

What can he do anyway? Awareness alone is something. Sadly many Americans don't watch the news, but some do go out to these campaign rallies. Some do catch his speeches on TV. Let me know you are doing your job and what is going on in the world that affects us and humanity for that matter.

Helpful Hint - Medicine

Whenever possible, stand up to swallow medicine. Pills taken lying down can lodge in the throat and dissolve there, producing inflammation or injury.

Helpful Hint - Contacts

If you wear contact lenses, clean your case often. A dirty lens case can be the culprit behind a corneal ulcer, a painful and potentially dangerous eye condition.

Auto Fanatic

OK here's another tidbit info about me, some of my friends already know. I Love Cars - I love Fast cars!! I love tricked out, pimped up, blazin power, juiced up vehicles! Got the point?

I watched a couple of shows that do this (trick out the ride)! Now I am all pumped up. I wish I could afford to add more bling bling to my luvbug, that's what I call my little truck by the way. Anyway, here are my suggestions to wow you and give you some suggestions if you also dream the ghetto fabulous dream. You must check out MTV's 'Pimp My Ride'. Sometimes the pimpin' s taken to more ghetto level than my taste desires, but they add major wow to the cool factor.

Catch TLC's 'Overhauled'. I just watched th show and I am abit ashamed to admit, I teared up to a bit. This kid was tricked while his car got tricked out. His parents set him up for a fake tow of his car, and stalled him while the car gets juiced. The kid was so excited when he sees it once more but with the new look he is left speechless and choked up.
