Sendero

Sendero it took me ages to remember the name of this film. I remember it as Serado for some reason. Anyway I watched it since it was in Spanish and it was a sunny afternoon, ideal time for horror films and I fell asleep (yet again, it happened during Saw II) while watching Saw III. I decided to watch a horror film in Spanish so I can see how much I understand. Firstly Chilean Spanish is a little bit different but I understood more than I did a month a go. I wish Almodovar films are in Netflix or Blutv, now those would be great practises.

This is the second film from Chile that I watched (knowingly that is) and I like this one too. The budget obviously was very low and they have problems with the editing (now that I'm writing it maybe those were intentional, I hope so) but I liked it very much. It was gory and verbose. 

Django Unchained

Django Unchained yes, of all the films I have not yet seen (The Lion, Silence...) I returned to this old favorite. Partly because I love watching Leonardo Di Caprio as a villain (and he is georgeous even with dirty teeth) and party because it is a fun watch in its entirety. The villains are served justly and the visuals, the script, the acting all are in harmony. This is one of my favorite Tarantino films. 

Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them

Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them is a film I was not really interested in. I have a strange aversion to spin offs. And although he is a very good actor, I can't seem to summon the energy to join in the universal adoration of Mr. Eddie Redmayne. Anyway I ended up liking this film a lot more than I thought I would. 

I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry

I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry there is no logical reason for me to like Adam Sandler films but I do. Life's mysteries.

Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone (The Film)

Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone is probably the only Harry Potter film I didn't watch twice. So I remedied that error. The screen cap looks like Harry's having fun but this one has a sad beginning and teen years in life (sad is the understement of the century maybe) well it was not as bad as I remembered it to be. 

Veronika Ölmek İstiyor

Veronika Ölmek İstiyor  Bu romanı bana bir iş arkadaşım önerdi ver okumam için ödünç verdi. Paulo Coelho'nun hiç bir romanını okumadım. Nedense hiç merak edip okumak istemedim, böyle bazı durumlarda dizlerimi döverim (mesela Happy Potter'a neden hemen başlamadım diye) ama bu durumda doğru karar vermişim galiba zira bu roman bana hiç hitap etmedi. Ne bileyim bir kişisel gelişim kitabına roman elbisesi giydirmişler gibiydi. 

The Rosie Project

The Rosie Project I have come across at the departures at Phuket airport, this novel is very well liked by all rom com lovers so I was on the look out for it. I got it right away and started reading not long after. However for some reason, this didn't appeal to me at all. I finished it (very easy read) but didn't really enjoy it.
