The Oscar Night Awards is approaching and this year, nine movies have been nominated for Best Picture. I hope to have the time (and the mood, as a matter of fact) to review them all here. When I started this blog, I thought at old, indie, artie, not box office. That was true until The Hunger Games. After talking my mind a little, I continued with all kind of movies. I said in previous post that I haven't seen Argo, yet. I've seen the Best Picture nominees and more. There are some movies I'm not … [Read more...]
Rome – The Series
The series created by HBO, primarily chronicles the lives and deeds of two common men: Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo, two Roman soldiers mentioned historically in Caesar's De Bello Gallico. The fictionalized Vorenus and Pullo manage to witness and often influence many of the historical events presented, of which not all are accurate. Only two seasons were made, the first season depicts Julius Caesar's civil war of 49 BC against the traditionalist conservative faction in the Roman Senate, his … [Read more...]
The Columnist
I was waiting for a certain guest post on this category I so affected proclaimed that I hate :). Oh, but it's plenty to fill the page on this. I could have put this in Life or even in Art, but I'm not digesting the book written so witty by Belén Fernández, The Imperial Messenger: Thomas Friedman at Work. I want to talk about this Friedman character, Pulitzer Prize winner, author, journalist and columnist. The Imperial Messenger: Thomas Friedman at Work is a take-down of the three-time … [Read more...]
Pinterest Profile
They say Pinterest is drawing more traffic to a site than Facebook! Since I don't have a Facebook account, I don't know what to say. Not important at this stage, because Pinterest is not about self promotion, in my opinion. It's not like reddit, of course, where if some retard wants to troll you, you don't stand a chance, and again, if you're already famous somehow, you may post everything and people visit your submitted link even out of curiosity. I recently read an article written in August … [Read more...]
And the Winner is…
The list announcements unfortunately starts with the best and most expected prize ending with the "less important". The last on this list, Maggie Smith, is not the less important. We appreciate her in "Downton Abbey", and we appraised her in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. The results are taken from imdb.com and I know I'm not the only one borrowing them. I would comment on the votes, when I shall have more data in my possession. As you'll see, my hopes on The Best Film in a Foreign Language … [Read more...]
Scamworld
I was a little bit aggressive in my previous post, especially after I found out I was right all the way in my earlier presumptions. Starting my annoyance, was a link (in fact two) I had on a prestigious blog. The link has been removed, in the hope I wouldn't notice. I took it personal. After that I checked a little bit more, and I found a few more who tagged or re-tagged (whatever) their comment links with "nofollow". Utterly disappointed and angrier by the moment, I wrote. I was so angry that I … [Read more...]
