And a movie post!

Ha ha! You thought I had forgotten about the movies, right? No way! Just wanted to give you a break! I watched a lot of movies but can't really remember them all or write about them, however, there were three that I'd like to mention.

The first one was of course the great fantasy novel from my childhood, turned into a movie, the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. I absolutely loved it. Although I can see why some people may not like it at all. You need to have lived with the dream of opening your wardrobe one day and find Narnia on the other side and get to play with Lucy and Edmund (cause Peter and Susan are obviously older and won't play with you anyway!)... I went and watched it on the same day I got back from Iran and considering the fact that I was jet-lagged and tired, the movie kept me watching pretty well ... except for occasional moments that I really really had to close my eyes... only for a couple of seconds though! Anyway, if you haven't read the book (and you can't start now because you need to be a kid to enjoy it!) wait till it's out on DVD.


The next one was the most controversial movie of 2005, the one and only Brokeback mountains. It tells the story of two young cowboys that spend a summer together in 1963 and fall in love. They keep an affair going on for almost twenty years and face major challenges along the way. I liked the movie and found the story very touching, but the Golden Globe for best picture!? Not really! And it could have been a lot shorter... But I have to admit that the actors were AMAZING! I mean, Gosh! just thinking that they were not gay in the real world made you wanna hand them the Oscar! It's worth watching for sure, but if you get offended by guys making out/making love (although the sleeping together part is not really that graphic) you should probably stay away from it.


And finally, I watched Frida again last night on DVD. I had watched it three years ago and last night it felt like I was watching it for the first time. This movie is absolutely amazing, the cinamtography, the acting, the music...Oh the music is extraordinary I think. Frida is the story of Frida Kahlo and his husband, two famous Mexican artists (painters). However, it somehow is more than just a biography... again, I absolutely recommend it for anyone above the age of 18!
