Julie & Julia (8/10)

Julie & Julia (8/10)

It’s always an amazing experience for the audience when an actor can become so thorough in their portrayal, and Meryl Streep is definitely one of the best out there today. Her performance of course stole the show and it’s because of her brilliance that the audience really felt for her as we watch her from

Grown Ups (6/10)

Surprise, surprise. I actually enjoyed myself. It’s not the cleverest thing Adam Sandler has done. It seemed like a good idea on paper to gather these comedians to star in the movie. But the writing was weak. The “real” acting was just enough. So what saved the movie? The gags. The movie was filled with

Very interesting for a foreign film. Unfortunately I only managed to find a dubbed version. Watching the lips moving differently to what I was hearing was such a distraction. Not only that, it took out the immersion of the movie experience and ultimately that led to the failure of really understanding the storyline. The director

The Descriptions Of Jason Reeves

By Delrondu | Music

I love how Jason Reeves can describe love and heartache using such simple words but yet can mean so much deeper than its face value. This is taken from antimusic.com where Reeves was giving us the inside story of his new song Helium Hearts: This song is a fairytale set on fire. It is a

It’s already August. Time flew by once again and soon this year will end. Have we slowed down and tasted our fears, smelled our success and bathed in the glory of life? Or did we fumble through silly mistakes without the awareness? Did we turn and take flight away from challenges that came our way?
