Proiectie "One World"

Miercuri, 2 decembrie 2009, de la orele 13.00, va avea loc proiecția filmului Transit în Amfiteatrul Colegiului Național “Costache Negruzzi” din Iași. Invitată la dezbatere este Daniela Caltea, specialist în lucrul cu persoane bolnave de HIV/SIDA.

“Transit este o productie MTV International, realizata in cadrul initiativei Staying Alive, beneficiind de participarea UNFPA. Filmul integreaza istorii particulare din tari si continente diferite. Personajele filmului sunt oameni diferiti, fac parte din diferite categorii sociale, provin din familii si societati diferite, dar in fata expunerii la infectia HIV/SIDA, sansele lor devin egale.”

Cu ajutorul UNFPA, filmul este disponibil tuturor cluburilor de film One World România.

Va asteptam cu drag!

"This may hurt just a little. "

Last night I went to see New Moon because I read the books, I am a big fan of the two male leads (guilty!) and I was morbidly curious. So if you haven't read the books, you might have a different view of the matter.

I have to say that it's so much better than Twilight. The first movie was more "indie" and this one is a lot better. Of course it's not perfect, but there are major improvements.
The special effects are way better, the shots are great, and the script is a much better mirror of the book than the first one(even if, some things are...different. )


Best :
The music. Awesome. The soundtrack is amazing and it fits the story so well, that I wish I had it on my Ipod when I was reading the book. Trust me.
(here's a taste:)

Taylor Lautner as Jacob- just perfect.


Not so great:
There is no on-screen chemistry between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson .When you see the movies, you're like "There's no way they're so in love that they'd die for the one another". It sort-of seems as if he might be loving her, but she is so...stiff.

Some scenes needed music and there was none.

Some actors did not really...improve their acting.

Chick flicks in 2010

As far as I can tell, 2010 is going to be full of chick-flicks. Oh yes. Cheesy, tear-jerking, silly movies with beautiful actors who match perfectly in couples to die for and cry over. Fantasies about people changing, about doing the right thing, about two people being miles and miles apart. I generally enjoy them.
Here are our next-year movies to see:

1. Dear John..
..is based on the book written by the same guy who wrote "The Notebook" and it has just about the same structure and level of drama.

(thnx Leah)

2.Valentine's Day
What could this be about if not...Valentine's day? I want to see it because of the amazing cast, and because it seems to be..fun.


3.Remember me

Robert Pattinson for Vanity Fair

I adore this pictorial. I've been told I'm all about "mysterious, pained artists". Oh, I love this.

I really do believe the rainbow

Now I'm on a diet but there is one ting I can't refuse: Skittles!
Oh, I adore them, ever since a friend brought me a huge bag from the US six years ago. When I found out this summer that I could get them from here too, I was more than happy( I ate 4 boxes in 15 minutes).
I like the red and the purple ones most. Which one is your fav one?

"Just because she's likes the same bizzaro crap you do doesn't mean she's your soul mate. "

"5oo days of summer" is a pretty good movie. It's very light, fun and sweet. It's not a love story, even if it seems to be so. It's the classical thing of "boy meets girl, girl meets boy, boy falls in love, girl doesn't". But still, it's not very dramatic, neither dark, angry, depressing or anything like that. It's very simple and enjoyable. A bit like "Nick and Norah's infinite playlist". I loved the music and the way it was shot. Also, the director of photography was great because some shots are amazing.
I really enjoyed it. It's a movie to watch on a Sunday morning.

And it is true that some things cannot be explained. They just happen to you.

"You will be haunted by three spirits. "

I am a big Christmas fan. Really. It's my favorite time of the year decorating the tree, drinking wine next to the fire in grandma's house, seeing the expression on the people's faces when they open their presents, the carols, the smell. Oh, I can't wait for it to come.
So even if there is more than a month until Christmas, I went last night to see "A Christmas Carol" in 3D with my best friend. Lets just say we came out singing carols.
The movie is good, maybe not great, but t definitely puts you in the mood. Maybe if it was not in 3D I wouldn't have liked it so much but the pictures and the effects are really great.



Should I start thinking about presents...?

Three Fall Favorites

When it comes to clothes and to fashion, in general, I'm not all about trends. I wear what I like and when I do so, I feel a more confident and comfortable. These are three items I like and wear this fall (all the way up into winter). Photos courtesy of forever21.

1. Thigh high boots
(or over the knee) I always loved really long boots and how my legs look in them. Thankfully, my mother likes them too, so I have two pairs-one black, one gray. They're completely flat, no heels because I wanted to wear them almost every day.

2. Pendants
Long pendant necklaces are simple and very beautiful. Depending on the pendant itself, you can add your own personal "flavor" to every day.


3.Caps, hats and everything in between

It's cold outside and your head needs some protection. I have a similar cap with this one in the picture and I adore it.

Domnul Dinica

Nu, nu va fi uitat. Da, l-am vazut...Da, era genial. Da, s-a dus...dar nu de tot. Gheorghe Dinica.

Is she a monster?

A book that does not take you easy, that tells you everything about Hell's lifestyle. All of her thoughts, her feelings, her actions are written down raw, almost un-edited, using a lot of vulgar words to describe vulgar circumstances. Still, the author does not fear to offend or to be too explicit. It's so raw and cruel that it's sweet and I enjoyed it a lot. If you can see past everything, it will alter a piece of you or at least it will make you remember it. I loved it.

Midnight songs...

...for the times when you can't sleep. Smooth songs for late hours, to keep you company.


1."Falling slowly",
from the movie "Once", performed by Kris Allen. There is an original version, but I like this one a lot more.




2. "With or without you", by U2.

3."La vie en rose", by Edith Piaf.

4."Time after time"
By Eva Cassidy, again, not the original but still...

Beauty

With or without the magic of Photoshop, we cannot say that Monica Bellucci is not stunning. I found these incredible pictures which perfectly illustrate how much of a woman she is.

On a cloudy day

This is not about love because it's cruel, this is not about instincts because they're primal. It's about two people. Call them "us".

Norah Jones- Come away with me

You, stranger, what if...we'd runaway?
Just for a day or so and hide from all of world's lies. Just us.
The mountain top's just beyond the third street. Lets walk in the rain. No, lets smile. Lets laugh as we never did in our life because we need nothing more.
I'll breathe you in as you are, no dyes, no lies, just truth for you, truth for me. It's a kids game, a joke as old as time.
I can't promise eternity, all I have is now. Don't tell me nothing, I don't want to hear a word about me. All I want is to "wake up with the rain falling of a tin roof while I'm safe there, in your arms."
Talk to me with your eyes and I'll need no translation.
I'm thirsty. Lets swim.
