Moonrise Kingdom


What’s it about?

“It’s a romance between a 12-year-old boy and girl set in 1965 on an island off the coast of new England,” says Anderson. “The inspiration was my memory of what it’s like to fall in love when you’re that age (or at least what you think is love at the time), and how overwhelming it is. It just sort of blindsides you. When you read a book when you’re that age you can get so invested in that that the book can become your whole world. That relates to the movie also. The movie is partly about how children at that age have this overpowering need for fantasy.”

Movie Review: Restless

This past Saturday was a very rainy day in Houston and I always say those 
days are perfect for taking naps and watching movies, so I went down to
the nearest REDBOX and finally picked up Restless with Mia Wasikowska
who I think is very adorable and a great young actress.
The movie is about a girl who has been diagnosed with cancer that finds
out that she only has one month to live. She meets a boy, they fall in love which
changes everything for the both of them.

Fashionista At Any Age

Loving this trailer for Advanced Style.
The documentary is based off the Advanced Style Blog, which I find 
just fascinating and very inspiring. The blog is a must to check out, because 
there are loads of interviews and photographs of fashionistas.

If you are a fan of Lord of the Rings like I am, you've probably heard about the Hobbit story being made into a movie so here is a the first trailer for the film if you have not got around to watching it yet.

Turkey Bits

Happy Sunday Folks!!
I hope all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, I know I did! 
With my family Thanksgiving is an
all day event, starts at 12:00 pm and ends at the wee 
hours of the night. This year the younger girls and I went for
a nice walk around the neighborhood to make room for dessert.
We all decided that taking a nap after our first helping of food
was not such a good idea. 

Also finally had the chance to go watch Breaking Dawn Part I.
I wished I waited to see it with my sister though :(
but I don't mind seeing it again when she gets back 
from her honeymoon, I am pretty sure I missed a few bits.

DeLorean up close!
For those have not seen any

Harry Potter

All sorts of craziness.
Started feeling like I was coming down
with the flu once again.
Just in time to ruin Britney & Potter,
but it never took my excitement!
Thinking 9 pm was early.
I was wrong, apparently 9pm is late.
There were tons of people, lines formed every which way.
{Monica & Beto}
 Luckily the theatre we were in was open for seating
& we didn't have to seat out on the floor like the rest.
This yummy tub of popcorn 
& watching Troopers on Will's iPad
helped the 2 hours pass by fast.
If you are a Potter Fan go watch it it was an awesome movie
& if you are not a Potter Fan still go watch it!

Thank Baby Jesus Its Friday (TBJIF)

Last night I had the chance to go see, "Season of the Witch" for free courtesy of TheSet. I had seen the trailer for the movie beforehand and was not sure if I was going to like it but it turned out being a really good movie, it made me jump a few times(huge scary cat) so I give it two thumbs up, so if you're looking for a good movie to watch tonight or this weekend, this one is a good one.

Last Post of 2010

Hi Everyone! I hope all had a wonderful Christmas and is going to have an awesome night tonight to celebrate the New Year tomorrow. I really can not believe how fast this year has passed by. I have a few things to catch up on, haven't posted anything for a little over a week. So hear it goes:

Movies
I am a huge movie addict,  this month my movie buddy(brother) & I have seen Tron, Chronicles of Narnia; The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Little Fockers, & Tourist (Click titles to see Trailers). I give a two thumbs up for all the movies, except for Tourist (maybe because I not a Angelina Jolie fan, but that is just me).

Music
Continuing on to MUSIC for this month, which not a playlist but more of whole albums. This months addictions are the following: Foals: Total Life Forever, Jr.: One, Jesse McCartney: Departure & Mumford & Sons: Sigh No More (Click tiles to give them a listen).

Christmas!
For Christmas this year I think the whole family cheated. In my family we celebrate Christmas Eve & Day. On Christmas Eve we all have dinner together and play games/talk while we wait till midnight to open gifts, but will ended up some how opening them way before 12. I got these awesome earring from my sister & future brother-in-law(The Future Holtkamp's). 

My brother got me "I am Number Four (Lorien Legacies)" book by: Pittacus Lore, which I got before Christmas & I read 4 days. Oh and Despicable Me (the cutest movie of 2010 I have to say).
My parents who I love dearly bought me the new iPhone 32GB got part of my birthday & part Christmas because it was a bit pricey. I also got to keep Todd as the rest of the half of my Christmas, which I was a happy camper. Then they got me this cute sock monkey so I could have something to open at midnight. I love my parents.

New Years Resolution

I've been thinking about this for a while now and I have come up blank. Why is it so difficult??  What are some your New Years Resolutions?

I am Number Four

Can't wait till this movie comes out February of next year.
I think the book is going to be my Christmas Break read.
Yahoo! says that this is the next Twilight.
I'll be the judge of that.
