Further On


I was literally hidden and invisible as I seem to some of you. I know no words serve as a reason of my lack of posts. Still, I am in firm certainty finding my blog as an outlet of creativity, yet at some point, I was dissuading with ideas and fostered into idleness. My indolence is atrocious.
I feel I owe you a lot and the following photos are just behind the sneak peek during my absence.
Let's get started.

When I was in high school I was glued to Elle Magazine. In college I always bought a copy of Glamour or Vogue. But if you are living in a world that is only restricted to few things, you have no option but confine yourself to what is available.
I spend a large amount of time watching movies. They fascinated me and I watched some of them on repeat. They are my entry world to things that I wish some of the situations would put me into existence. They catapulted me into devouring sensational scenes.

I love these words by Andy Warhol:
“What’s great about this country is that the riches consumers buys essentially the same things as the poorest. A coke is a coke and no amount of money can get you a better coke than the one on the bum on the corner is drinking. All the cokes are the same and all the cokes are good”
Above all, I cannot withstand the very important notion that I made friends with many interesting bloggers. And I feel that this blog has a way of pushing me into positive direction.
 Many thanks to Claudia for leaving a sincere and genuine message on my last post. You aspire me and gave me back my confidence.
I have to finish by thanking all those who continuously visited and sent comments on my blog. It is truly humbling and amazingly touching. I'll get in touch with you soon.

greetings,
aileen

Movie Review - Flipped (2010)

Today, I had time to visit DVD room located in our accommodation where we borrow DVDs for free. Cinema theater is prohibited in the Kingdom, and we are glad that our company provided us this free advantage to enjoy. I was reckoning for the new movies but they were mostly action-packed and heavy drama. After a very stressful day, I needed a story line that is a funny, romantic and light film, eliminating plots that are too complicated and mind-boggling. My short trip from rack to rack of DVDs brought me back to a 2010 movie that captivates my sight.

Flipped (2010)
Cast : Madeline Carroll, Callan McAullife, Rebecca De Mornay, Anthony Edwards, John Mahoney
Genre : Comedy, Drama, Romance
Directed by : Rob Reiner
Writer : Rob Reiner

My rundown:
Bryce Loski have always been annoyed by Juli Baker since the day of their acquaintance, unlike Juli who developed admiration to him instantly, is hoping that he will be her first kiss. Set on late 50's and early 60's, it remains a beautiful scenarios in a funny exploration of innocence, infatuation, braveness, friendship and misinterpretation of youth feelings, and the important lesson of a family bond despite differences.

My verdict:
This movie takes me to a warm and laid back moment during my early teens. The plot story is pleasantly light but the element of lines and strong performances are so striking and pretty nostalgic. I heartily consider this as my favorite film, simply marvelous and a must-see again and again and again!


My favorite quotes:
Grandfather : You know, Bryce... once's character is set at an early age. I'd hate to see you swim out so far you can't swim back.
Bryce : Sir?
Grandfather : It's about honesty, son. Sometimes a little discomfort in the beginning... can save a whole lot of pain down the road.


Juli : I guess it's something about his eyes or maybe his smile. 
Father : And what about him? 
Juli : What? 
Father : You have to look at the whole landscape. 
Juli : What does that mean? 
Father : A painting is more then the sum of it's parts. A cow by itself is just A cow. A 
meadow by itself is just grass, flowers. And the sun picking through the trees, is just a beam of light. But you put them all together and it can be magic.

Grandfather : Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss; but every once in a while, you find someone who's iridescent, and once you do, nothing will ever compare

And, I had a crispy chicken meal served as my early dinner while watching the heartwarming film. my crispilicious goodness!
French fries where art thou? oops.. I need my calorific fries to dwell on my post, lame excuse :D

Well, I told you a lot. I hope you'll watch this film and I will be glad with your input.

Movie Review - Rango (2011)

Rango (2011)
Cast: Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher, Abigail Breslin, Alfred Molina
Genre: Animation


My rundown :
Rango the chameleon, a domesticated household pet with identity crisis. When stranded and ends up in Dirt town, he instantly faces west adventures and tries to blend in in a funny way. The Mariachi Owls instantly gets comical every time they sing.


My verdict :
Kids will surely enjoy it, but I believe this film is built for moviegoers of any age with a spirit of having a good laugh.
