Valkyrie

By Delrondu | Cinema

Good movie but only thing is, it didn’t grip me emotionally (as compared to Lust, Caution). Still a good thriller though with great acting and great direction.

“The Famous 25 Things Tag” from Delichiaz

By Delrondu | Confession

I’m doing this only because it’s you, Carmen, since you “tagged” me. And also because it is in the spirit of The New Cycle (post below), I’m not going to ignore or say “no”. Who knows it could be fun and I may find new awareness and discover myself more?

The New Cycle

By Delrondu | Confession

Before my next post, I feel compelled to make this one first.
One of my new year resolutions (not sure how many I’ve consciously made but the other one off the top of my head now is not to ask “Whose fault?” as a reflex action) is not to say “no” immediately. If I can do

By Delrondu | Cinema

It took the movie one hour to get to the main point. Before that it was just trudging along on another one point and it got old really fast.

Group Round

By Delrondu | Rambles

A little late for this rant but I’ve been wanting to do it since last week. However, it wasn’t important enough to garner my time so only now am I ranting about it.
American Idol, after 8 seasons, they still have the ridiculous Group Round during Hollywood week. Really, what’s the point? OK, I can see

Bride Wars

By Delrondu | Cinema

It started interesting but then once the backstabbing started, that’s when it all went downhill. What a really boring middle act.

Inkheart

By Delrondu | Cinema

Too many loopholes that were too obvious. The fantasy elements were strong but the story bordered on absurdity. Not enjoyable at all, unfortunately.
