Love in the Time of Cholera, the Movie

                                                  
      While on leave yesterday, I had the chance to watch the screen adaptation of one of my favorite novel, Love in the Time of Cholera.  My husband chanced upon a dvd the other day and decided on impulse to buy it for me.  I guess he knew how much I love books-to-movies stuff.  Besides, Im [...]

harry potter & the half blood prince

                                                   
We got to watch the much awaited HP series, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince yesterday.  All I can say is that Im left wanting for more…  I did not expect the ending to be so “bitin“.  I believe a great deal has been omitted in the film.  Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the [...]

Home Movies

I relish moments like this.  A quiet house.  HUbby and the kids far deep in dreamland.  Having too much of my caffine fix, sleep evades me.  Good.  Now, I have the excuse of inviting my old friend in to keep me company–my trusty dvd player. 
I realize I have some really good movies on hand but [...]

Movie Date: Slumdog Millionaire

This is not our typical date movie.  Nor is this the type of film in my league.  In fact, it was only my unquenchable curiousity that led me to pester, even bribe Hubby in watching it with me. 
                                                   
So, was it worth it?  ABSOLUTELY.  Slumdog Millionaire  is probably one of the most riveting stories of real [...]

Movie Date: TWILIGHT

                                                                               
At last Hubby and I finally saw the movie.  We went last Friday night and I must say, the film version was very entertaining.  Though there were scenes in the book that were omitted (or overlooked) in the movie, it was pretty good.  For a while I feared that the actors would not lived up [...]

Breaking Dawn

I don’t know about you, folks but I think one of the perks of lying sick in bed (aside from cuddling with Hubby) is having the time to READ.  Picking a book was quite a challenge.  I had a hard time choosing btween Paulo Coellho, Dan Brown, Nicholas Sparks, and a host of other prevailing [...]

Movie Night

Its been quite a while since our last date.  Im glad Hubby took a much needed time to go to the movies with me.  What’s even more surprising, he let me choose what to watch.  So, by all means, I chose the mushy, over-the-hill, NIGHTS IN RODANTHE.
                                      
The film was based on Nicholas Sparks‘ heartbreaking [...]

For One More Day

Over the weekend, amidst all the cooking and “holloweening” I’ve done, I am glad to say that I have managed to squeeze in some reading.   The timing couldn’t be more perfect.  Mitch Albom’s “For One More Day” is a wonderful book for the occassion.

For One More Day  tells a story of a mother, a son, [...]
