Movie Round-up 2012

Listening to: The Dreamer - The Tallest Man in the World.

Haven't really had time to watch all the fabulous movies this year, and I'm scraping up to get all the oscar-nominated ones which, truthfully, are usually the only ones I watch. The exceptions are a few blockbusters. I won't really give details on the movies here. I'm just giving my highly opinionated "good's" and "bad's" along with a few lines. Anyway, the movies I watched, and my opinions of them, are:

The Hunger Games SUCKS

 

I advise you not to watch.

Young Adult AWESOME!

Please watch. Hella funny.

 My Week With Marylin NICE

Very Good Movie

Shame NICE

Very erotic, daring, and ambitious. Should watch

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo VERY NICE

This is it, so far -_-v

Say hello to... The completion of the series.

Listening to: Just a Kiss by Lady Antebellum

My fascination towards all things magical and ethereal has led me to this series.
The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Series. Love.

I am so proud to have found these lovely books without suggestion or influence from anybody.

I was doing my usual book-browsing when I saw the fist book. I hadn't even seen the title yet but

instinct beyond instinct told me that this one was going to be juicy. I looked over and saw "Nicholas Flamel"
which I first heard from the Harry Potter Series.

You see, the Flamels were a vital part of Harry Potter 1. Legends always have a factual basis. Remember that. So I thought it interesting to read about him. He's a fascinating person. So when  a series

was dedicated about him, the obligatory must-read gene kicked in. I had to have this.

First few pages of reading and I was hooked. The series is fascinating. I even dared to compare it to the Harry Potter Series which was, until my finishing the 3rd book (The Sorceress), my favorite set. Michael Scott, the author, is a genius. What he did was try to combine all the legends and myths of the world into his series. As far as I know, this is something unprecedented. Save a very, very few, almost all the characters in the books are historical figures and can be looked over in the internet. That's what's interesting, and his versions are, needless to say, very inspiring. I really do hope they make a movie out of this. There are already rumors swirling in the net of this, but there are no truthful claims as of yet.

Now, the Enchantress, the last installment, was released only a few days ago. I've waited a year for this. I'm happy and proud to say that I was one of the first in line to procure it :) It's the last book to a beautiful story. I can actually read this overnight, but I'm resisting the temptation and reading it slowly.

I love this series, I love this series, I love this series. It even made me want to read Machiavelli's (also a character in the Scott books) book, The Prince. A very good book too :)

Favorite characters:  

Hekate, the Goddess with the 3 faces. 

Marethyu.

Niccolo Machiavelli

The Witch of Endor

Niten, Miyamoto Musashi
Billy the Kid
Abraham the Mage

Osiris and Isis

Book Review haha

Listening to: Broken Wings by Flyleaf

I just finished another book and it's been a while since a read a novel that I really liked. I'm really into fantasy novels, particularly about magic. (Harry Potter, Witch of Portobello, The Alchemyst, things like that). It's actually hard finding something you really like. I usually like my novels to have more than 700 pages, better to be exhausted with happiness than be unsatisfied. So anyway, I won't really deal into specifics, I'm just saying this book is divine.

Here it is:

And don't expect me to give you a detailed analysis. I'll just give you an idea of what to expect. Well, author Susanna Clarke here wrote a very interesting book that suggests that magic played a very crucial role in winning the war against France and Britain. So nice huh? And it's got other things to leave the reader pondering as well but that's all I'm gonna say. Well maybe two more: it's got something about  fairies, the bad asses in the story, and The Raven King.

Favorite Characters: The Raven King, Jonathan Strange, Childermass

5 stars everybody. Must read =}
