Weekend at the movies #8

It's Friday, wiiii!

Title: Cloudy with a chance of meatballs
Directors: Phil Lord and Christopher Miller
Gender: animation 
Year: 2009

This is simply hilarious. It's one of my favourite animation movies of 2010. I'm obviously in love with Steve and the jello palace <3 and I just found out that it's based on an American children's book by Judy Barret.
..all my favourite movies are based on books, is that a coincidence??

Weekend at the movies #7

Yay for this Friday!

Title: August rush
Director: Kirsten Sheridan
Gender: drama
Year: 2007



Not so new but very good.. and super touching, even if you pretend that you don't care you won't fool anyone! It has everything: a brief but intense love story of two lovers who are pulled apart and a child without parents who tries to found them with the music.. I liked it sooo much!

Awesome OST too!!!Jonathan Rhys Meyers' voice is not bad!
And this is how I found out about Kaki King (you can listen to her HERE).

Weekend at the movies #5

Gnah, bad Friday D: but! great movie!!

Title: The intouchables (original: Intouchables)
Director: Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano
Gender: comedy-drama
Year: 2011



Loved it. This movie treats a very sensitive topic in a pretty irreverent way, it may seem disrespectful in some part but it's all explained by Philippe himself: it's about not being treating pitifully.
Beautiful location, very funny with few bitter tips and great soundtrack. A must see.

Weekend at the movies #4

And another week is over! YES!

Today's movie is a must for every blogger, especially if cooking is one of their hobbies.
Ok, it's may not be a very committed one, but it's very well made and funny, honestly. Meryl Streep is terrific, as usual and the story is really inspiring. I think every crafter of cook around here will see a bit of themselves in Julia.

Title: Julie & Julia
Director: Norah Ephron
Gender: comedy-drama
Year: 2009

Weekend at the movies #3

Finally! It's never too soon for Friday..

Studio Ghibli movie this week. I've not seen it yet but I'm a fan of the Miyazakis' movies so this is a must.
All I know is that the story take place in Yokomana in 1963 and has something to do with Japan reconstruction after the II world war. Yes, I don't like reading too much about plots before watching the movies.. SPOILER!!

Title: From up on poppy hill (original: コクリコ坂から - Kokuriko-zaka Kara)

Weekend at the movies #2

It's Friday!

Honestly I didn't know "Total recall" was a remake of the movie with Schwarzenegger made in 1990.

The plot may not be the most original but it's a pretty good movie, I liked it. I absolutely recommend it if you're a fan of spy series and movies such as "Alias" and the Born movies' series.
I found out that it was inspired by the short story  "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" by Philip K. Dic.. it's worth a read, don't you think?

Title: Total recall
Director: Len Wiseman
Gender: Action - Sci.fi.
Year: 2012

Weekend at the movies #1

Here I'm, ready to start a new series. As you may have noticed I'm trying to concentrate all the things I love in these little weekly appointments to share everything I enjoy. I really hope this'll be useful for you, to discover new favourites :)
Now! since it's Friday, let's talk about movies!

Months ago Max made me watch "[Rec]2". I won't comment on that one (the only words that pop in my mind when I think about it are: creepy, GROSS, ghoulish and believe me, after the end, you won't kiss anyone for days! UGH!) but I love horror movies and, despite this one is from the same director, when I red about it I got curious so I decided to give it a shot. I've not watched it yet, I'll do it this w/e so I can't guarantee anything..

Title: Sleep tight  (original: Mientras duermes)
Director: Jaume Balaguerò
Gender: Horror
Year: 2011

Movies and cosplay

I saw this movie yesterday, called "The women of the 6th floor". A very cute commedy that actually hid important themes..

I'm happy to say I managed to watch several new movies lately and I liked most of them = say hi to my new cinema related board :D

There is still a lot to pin, but little by little I'll fill this one too!

Oh and I forgot that last saturday we went to a comic convention in Mantova. It was nice, even if little, there were few cool cosplays too, like this one from "Howl's moving castle":

Love, love!! Max and I managed to take a photo with them, yay! :D You can see more cosplay photos here and here).

Hum I completed a new project today so stay tuned for a new tutorial and the first episode of the new "DIY from head to toe" serie!!
Good night everyone :3

The help

Great movie. One of those that actually makes you think and leaves you touched without being cheesy or rhetorical.
The trailer doesn't really do it justice, but "The help" is totally worth every minutes.
Now I'd like to read the homonymous book by Kathryn Stockett.
