Midnight in Paris

I watched a lot of movies yesterday but this was by far my favourite. This is the first movie from Owen Wilson that I've liked and that is saying a lot!!! Whoever wrote this script has my respect! The movie mixes the magic of being in Paris with it's great history. And it's about how Owen Wilson travels to the past meeting all the artists and writers that he has always admired. All the references of great artists makes it even more amazing although you need to have some knowledge about many artists and writers to understand all the jokes, but I just laughed really hard. My favorite one was Dalí, it was really funny. You have to watch it!

 Here's Adrien Brody who played Salvador Dalí. haha

I also watched the movie Into the Wild. I finally know what it is about! because somehow I'm never able to pass the first chapter of the book. This is one of the few remakes where I prefer the movie. haha... But I also have to check out the movie On the Road from the book of Jack Kerouac that's coming out next year.

And for last, there is Captain America that somehow became the first marvel movie that I actually like! I really like this heroe and I'm looking forward to the movie Avengers that is coming out next year.

And apart from these, I also watched other movies yesterday but somehow they're not worthy of being spoken about, muahaha,I'm kind of evil... haha... well I'm just going to make a small mention of Diary of a Wimpy Kid that turned out better than I expected but I'm still not reading that book. ; )

Islands - The XX

Yesterday I was listening to a big playlist with the best indie songs sice 2000 and I randomely heard this song from The xx, and I think I had heard it before but I'm not sure, but what's amazing is that some hours after I finished hearing the playlist, I didn't even remember the song or who sang it, I just had the song stuck in my head. I was surprised because it's been a while since I've had a song stuck like that so I just wrote the lyrics that I knew in google and you could guess my surprise and pleasure when I found out that the song was from The xx and if you've read my posts before you should know that I absolutely love them!

The coolest part is that today I had been talking with a friend about the awesomeness of their songs so this has just make my day a very good day!!!

Btw, the video is just amazing!!!

Melancholia

In the weekend I watched the movie Melancholia by Lars von Trier who is danish. The movie ended up being very depressing but artistic, although it proved my patience at the beginning and I was really tired after celebrating Oktoberfest so I couldn't appreciate it fully. But I really liked the end!

I'm kind of bored right now and I can't wait for school to end. I'm alredy planning what I want to do but while doing it I kind of space out so I'm not fun to hang around this days. I want and at the same time don't want this year to be over. It's just because I'm to lazy to decide what I want to study at the university.... yawn.... I'm getting bored thinking about it... I'll better go to sleep! adios!!

Foki

I was just thinking that swedish blogger Foki resembles older Mikako from the mangas Gokinjo Monogatari and Nana written by Ai Yazawa.

But not so much in the physical way, but I think they are alike in how they change their hair color so much and how both love to design clothes and have become succesful with their designs. I think Foki is amazing because she's so young and she has achieved so much by doing what she loves! If you want to check out her blog, you can find it HERE!!!

Emma

I just saw the movie Emma released in 1996 based in the book by Jane Austen. Emma was played by Gwineth Paltrow and I liked it very much! After all Emma is my most favourite book by Jane Austen.

Petra Karlsson

I forgot to tell you that I'm following a new fashion blog written by a fourteen year old girl from Umeå, Sweden.

This girl has an amazing fashion sense even though she's so young and she's really beautiful. I love how she dresses in a simple way by matching everything together in a great way. When I look at her looks I can imagine myself looking like that so it's a great way to find inspiration.

This last look it's my favourite (I should get a cardigan like that... or thights like that... or shoes like that... haha) and her hairstyle is amazing, I'll try it out one of this days.... : D

You can find her blog HERE! although the blog is written in swedish you can translate it with google. But personally I prefer to read it in swedish but I guess not everybody knows swedish... you should learn it, it's such a beautiful language!!! And Petra is also very good at photography! so you can always look at beautiful pictures. I wish I lived in the countryside so I could take photos like that but sadly I'm only surrounded by a big and ugly city... : (

El Zorro

Zorro by Isabel Allende

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This books is surprisingly good!, even though you expect to read the exact same story as the movie with Antonio Banderas but you end up with something completely different but good. The storyline keeps you gripping the book with a fast narration that surprises you every time. And it traps you inside the world of California in the 1800's. You accompany the main character to Spain during the reign of Jose de Bonaparte (the brother of Napoleon Bonaparte) while many countries struggle for their independence after the french revolution.



Diego de la Vega is caught between two different views of the world and he ends up choosing justice for the unfurtunate. He is also in love with the unattainable Juliana. He faces many adventures along the way and makes you wish for him to have a happy ending. I ended up enjoying it a lot and it's even better if you read it in it's original language, spanish.



View all my reviews

This is my review of "El Zorro: La Leyenda Comienza" in goodreads. This week I also read the longer version of Pride and Prejudice.

Honestly, I hadn´t even realized that I had read a shorter version before, I realized because I decided to read the book again after watching the movie and I realized that there were parts that I hadn't read before, and it was kind of obvious because the version I just read had like 580 pages and the version I had read before had less than 200 pages. haha

Well, I'm glad that I'm finally able to update the blog after a VERY stressful week. I'm finishing this school year after all but all the teacher left a lot of stuff to do for the end and now they are piling everything together.... : (

Now I'll just read manga and listen to good music! yay!
