Tangled Ever After

Heya!

Did you see Tangled?
Did you enjoy it?
Hope you did because I did and a short film has been made with the marriage of Rapunzel with Flynn Ryder or if you prefer Eugene Fitzgerald.
If you went or (depending on where you live) are going to see the Beauty And The Beast in 3D, you'll see this short film before the actual film starts. I am a subscriber of Disney Movies on Youtube and there are two teasers.

The Vow

Hey!

I've said it before and I say it again I'm a romantic even though I try to be realistic as much as I can. Most of the time. But than are these films that makes it all much difficult.

I know it's based on a true story but let's be real. First: "based on" is not copy-paste Second: Channing Tatum and Rachel MacAdams, seriously? How sneaky. Third: the statistical probability to this story happen to someone on real life is what, 0.01 in 10.000?
Ok. I know. Here I am talking about probability when enjoyed watching it.

One good aspect about the film is that it's not that average romantic-drama film you watch on Sunday afternoon on tv. If you haven't watch it yet, prepare for some to-die-for-romantic-scenes, obviously, but has a swirl of drama without being too dramatic that makes it different.
The only bad aspect I found is the end. Seems rushed. When it comes to the end you feel like you're missing something.

I read a comment somewhere saying Channing Tatum has a special talent for playing these type of guys.

Well, I think I agree :)

Oscars 2012

Hello!

As promised this post I will talk about what I liked and did not like about the ceremony.

It would've been perfected if Midnight In Paris because I love the movie! I'm still happy, though, won one statue.
Moving on, the dresses and gowns.
Unlike some bloggers and people in general on the internet, I liked Sandra Bullock's Marchesa dress.

I think is simple, chic and the "tail" gives a dramatic look.

TV Show: Grimm

Hi!

Started watching this show today. I thought it was about the stories we all listen to when we're children and as usual I was wrong. It has a supernatural wave and is not like the fairy tailes.
Just watched a few episodes so far but I'm enjoying watching them mainly because Pan Am ended, The Vampire Diaries is on break as well as Supernatural... Basically I feel like I need to entertain myself for the time in between these return.

I didn't know much about Grimm, actually, I saw the poster on the street and thought about giving it a shot and well I'm not regretting.

If you're curious, click here for more information.

It's 5:11am right now. The Academy Awards just finished. I'll talk about that tomorrow.

My Top 10: Disney Songs

Heya!

Today I was searching around Youtube when I found a video with a top 10 Disney songs someone made. I honestly didn't agree with some of his/hers choices so I thought why not make my own list. 

Worst idea ever. It's so difficult!

When I was making my list I didn't remember any song... Not a good end result if you don't remember the most part of them, right?

Anyway I did this for fun and had fun doing it so here it is My Top 10 Disney Songs:

10. The Little Mermaid - Under The Sea

The Name Of The Star - Maureen Johnson

Hey!

Took me hours to complete the first book on the Shades Of London series - The Name Of The Star - written by Maureen Johnson.

I have this book since last November but just read it now. What I've been missing.

I learnt more about Jack The Ripper with this book than with any film I've ever seen. Ok, maybe that's a little exaggerated. But has some details that kept me thinking about how much I knew about this historic event.

Kung Fu Panda 2

Hi!

I wanted to see this for a while and today I did finally see Kung Fu Panda 2.

After almost 12 months of its release I saw it. Well done, I'm making progress.

Anyway, I'd seen the first and like anybody else I wanted to see the sequel. I saw it with my brother and he thought Poo still didn't know how to fight. Silly. Ok, he is no Tigress but he's the Dragon Warrior after all.

The end is clearly open for the third film which I really want to see because who doesn't want to know if Poo's father is some kind of a Kung Fu master?! I surely want.

Under Pressure

Hello!

With all my heart I can't understand how one can not love Queen. I get when someone doesn't like all their songs but not like at least one song is something that really makes me confuse, maybe because since I can remember my parents always listened to Queen. I can proudly say Queen was the first band I've listen to in my life.

When friends ask me which song is my favourite it's torture for me. I can't choose one. It's impossible to say just one. How do you make tea without water? Impossible, right? Same here.
Anyway, just a little intro to say that at this moment of my life this song is my obsession off all Queen songs.

Under Pressure - Queen & David Bowie

With my humble opinion I say the music would be perfect without David Bowie but I'm happy with him there.

The bass on this is absolutely incredible!

Sometimes I think is just a shame and sad that so soon we will not have another band with their quality. But then again, that's the thing about music the real artist never dies.

Pan Am Season Finale

Heya!

Last Sunday was the season finale of ABC's Pan Am.

I must say it was great! One of the best, actually. During the mid-season episodes it was less exciting but this end was so amazing!

I read somewhere this isn't going to get a second season but I hope from the bottom of my heart this is all a big rumor and nothing more. The end leaves so many questions to be answered that is just sad to think maybe they will never be.

Decided to post the preview in case you did not have the opportunity to see it.

Again, if it really was the final end I'm super sad... Might even cry...

Charles Martinet -> Super Mario

Hey!

I'm a Nintento fan. All the way.
NES?
Nintendo 64?
Game Cube?
Wii?
I have them all and are still available to play a whole afternoon. So basically Nintendo was a is a huge parte of my life.
Anyway, I was searching on Youtube for any kind of news about Wii U when I found this video of Charles Martinet speaking of these last 21 years of being Mario's voice.

Who doesn't love him? He's awesome!

Green Day - New Record?

Hi!

I am a subscriber of Green Day on Youtube which, again, is grreat to recceive up to date news. That's one thing I really like about Youtube.
Anyway, moving on, Green Day posted a video of them on some studio recording something. Obviously, for a fan and if you are you'll understand, this is huge news! I was automatically anxious.
Here's the 0:21 second video:

Is terrible just watch 21 seconds but I'm pretty happy with it, though.

As one comment was saying if it is a record, I hope it does not take them 15 months to do it like 21st Century Breakdown did.

The Lorien Legacies: The Power Of Six

After almost 1 year from the release I read the second book on the Lorien Legacies written by Piattacus Lore.
I have several emotions towards this book some good some bad but overall is a great sequel.

It's Valentine's Day!

Hello!

Today is February 14th which means is the most romantic day of year as some say. I hope you had a lovely one.

For me, though, it isn't that special. As I see it is just one day for you to spend money. Marketing, basically.
If you love someone you showed it everyday not on one single day when you're obliged. I think it is one day invented by brands for people to show who spend more money to see who loves more the other. It's kind of pathetic.

Anyway, despite everything I'm a 100% romantic and obviously this day do not pass by me without saying at least hello.
The Google Doodle was the most adorable thing ever! Was really sweet. I thought about publish it but I'm sure you already watched it so I put my head spinning for something I truly think is romantic and captured the real essence of romance. I ended up with this:

Heath Ledger singing Can't Take My Eyes Off You on 10 Thing I Hate About You

Happy Valentine's Day!

Fox: New Girl

Heya!

Started to see this tv show today.

With Zooey Deschanel. Who on earth doesn't love her? She has that vibe... that I-don't-care-what-you-think-as-long-as-I'm-having-fun vibe haha
It's sad that this is a 25 minute long show because is very funny and captivating. I read somewhere saying this is a vid-con for girls, honestly I don't know and don't care if it is or not. I enjoy it very much.
Here's the trailer just to plant the seed in you :)

The Raven Boys - Maggie Stiefvater

Hi!

There's a new book coming out written by Maggie Stiefvater who wrote the lovely Shiver trilogy and The Scorpio Races which I spoke about them all here.
I was searching for new books and found out this new one by one of the authors I read more from. Is schedule to be released on September 18th.
Here's the cover:

iPhone 4S "Rock God" Ad

Hello!

I need to say something before I talk about the ad; I used to be a completely apple-geek. I swear.
I used to search everyday about new concepts and watch more than once the presentations. I loved to see the evolution of every product be them iPods or Macs. Basically I lived for that stuff.
Nowadays it is not like that anymore. Not since Mr. Jobs died.
I hate me for not be able to watch an entire presentation. I don't why I just can't be concentrated and excited for two hours like before.
I'm still a user, a lover and a geek but just not like I was. On that extreme level.

Anyway, I felt I needed to say that. :S

Chanel J12

Heya!

Today I realized in basically 2 months it's my birthday, and an after thought to that is obviously presents for much selfish as it sounds, it's true.
Ok then, I want a Chanel watch. A Chanel J12 H097 Automatic to be more precise.

Beekeeper's Daughter - Music Video

Hey!

A few days ago I posted the little performance The All-American Rejects did on 90210 with their new song. Now here's the music video:

I think this is on Panic! At The Disco vibe, don't know why but during these 3 minutes and 43 seconds I remembered severeal times Panic's videos. Maybe it was the dance-theatrical thing.

Either way, I like the song, probably not my favourite but is fun ;)

Happy Birthday, Charles Dickens!

Hi!

Thanks to Google, everybody on this world who turned its computer on, did not forgot today Charles Dickens would be 200 years old.
As huge fan of classic literature as I am, of course I'm a lover of his work, consequently today is not just another day. Today is that special day when you read every book of him and kind of celebrate it that way. With him.
Without turning this post on something too "cheesy", here's a quote:

Pretty Girl Rock

Hello!

By accident I found this cover Parachute did of Pretty Girl Rock by Keri Hilson.
To be honest, I've never heard the song before until the little preview that it's at the end of the video. Parachute's cover is stuck in my head and doesn't want to go away and frankly I don't mind a bit.

I say Will did an amazing job! You know I love him. He is cute, has beautiful blue eyes and can sing. Really sing. So what is there not to love?!
Oh, how I love this band!

The Replacement - Brenna Yovanoff

Today I finished The Replacement written by Brenna Yovanoff.

I wanted to read this book for quite some time. Months, actually but something always kept in the way, (other sequels that I was really anxious about) and due to that it stayed all this time behind. Two days ago I decided I wanted to change that.

Jane By Design

Heya!

Yesterday I saw the five episodes of Jane By Design.
One after the other.

I saw one of the previews around October or November and thought "well, yeah, quite fun" but the thought stayed at the back of my head because it was just going to premiere in January and I kind of wasn't that much into it by watching the video.
Nevertheless, I watched every episode and...
Confession time: yes, I'm obsessed.

Heather Dixon - Entwined

Hey!

Last night I finished Entwined by Heather Dixon.

Azalea is trapped. Just when she should feel that everything is before her.. beautiful gowns, dashing suitors, balls filled with dancing... it's taken away. All of it.

The Keeper understands. He's trapped, too, held for centuries within the walls of the palace. And so he extends an invitation.

Every night, Azalea and her eleven sisters may step through the enchanted passage in their room to dance in his silver forest.

But there is a cost.

The keeper liked to keep things.

Azalea may not realize how tangled she is in his web until it is too late.

That's the hard-cover preview.
To be completely honest I picked this book by its cover. I hate when people do that and I did it. It's just terrible. But then I read this little preview and was intrigued by what was so wrong about this Keeper guy.
Now that I ended it I say the preview made me think about a different storyline. I thought it was different and did not cross my mind it'd featured so many dancing ways and even someone could dance them all perfectly like Azalea does. I think the author makes the reader really see the action and imagine Azalea dance as gracefully as is described.

Despite being a little different from what I usually read, I did enjoy it.

TAAR - Beekeeper's Daughter

Hi!

I know I did not write yesterday but now that all my exams are over I've been tired and not spending as much time on the computer as before.

The All-American Rejects are releasing their fourth album this year, the first single - Beekeeper's Daughter - was first listened on 90210 along with the band's performance. Currently I'm not watching 90210 but CWtv posted on Youtube a little preview of this part.

I cannot say I love the song because I didn't ear the complete track but I'm super anxious about their new album - Kids In The Street. 

Honestly, who doesn't love these guys?! I surely do.
