One bottle in not enough ( : 2007-01-29 03:46:17 Have you ever eat Donuts – sitting on a bench, in the middle of the night, when the wind is quite strong and chilly? I did that Sunday night – well two girls, a bottle
of vodka, techno vibes and a friend are involved in the story as well.
And by the way – girls shouldn’t be shy – or at least not all the time, trough what I know – since I just met them – I guess it is quite normal. Most of the time I am shy myself I guess.
Reflecting skin 2007-01-29 01:02:46 The movie did not impress me with its story. The nature scenes and the acting of the young Jeremy Cooper was what did impress me. Actually from what I saw I was almost convinced that all characters in the movie except the three boys the movie starts with are crazy or something. As one other reviewer wrote “In The Reflecting
Skin, nobody behaves like a normal person would, and the viewer is left as a patron at a freak show.”
The sheriff for example – I felt the desire to kick his …..you know what for the way he spoke to people, including Seth ( the leading character) .
It was an entertaining movie nevertheless – especially the first scene with the exploding frog. There are some disturbing scenes – like a father who commits a suicide in front of his nine years old son – or an English Lady who is acting as weird as it can dreaming of her dead husband.
As I mentioned the brilliant cinematography was probably the best asset of this movie. I watched it at home, but am s
Lessons at the End of Spring 2007-01-24 13:35:53 Not an easy film to watch – “Lessons
at the end of the spring” tells the story of a boy who is arrested by mistake and is locked in prison. Everything is happening in Russia – but you know every day people who are empowered do that to innocent victims from in many other countries – my own is not an exception.
The movie lifts the curtain of the horrible scenes behind bars – and does a good job of portraying the horrors of the life behind the bars, and the loss of innocence of an eight grader (Danya Tolkachev). His life is changed forever.
This movie reminded of My Name is Ivan, which is another masterpiece of the Russian cinema. I got angry while watching it – angry that some dorks who are in position of power can be so brutal to people.
There is no justice – and this movie shows this reality so clearly – may be you won’t be able to feel that, but I doubt it. As they say “If someone say that your sister is pregnant, go prove that do you do not have a sister “.

Saint Ralph 2007-01-21 08:51:58 I really liked “SaintRalph
“. It is great movie full with inspiration. Ralph is a fourteen years old teenager who choose to chases his own miracle – winning the Boston’s marathon. He believes that since people say that such achievement will be a miracle – his mother will wake up from the coma. It is a drama movie and as such there are quite a few scenes which can evoke emotions in its viewers.
The movie starts with a fun scene in which Ralph is having something to confess – what – well he is a teen and have teen “ sins “ . I like the attitude of Ralph – the way he handles girls for example, or accusations …etc. He is a cute kid as well – and probably one of the reasons for me liking this movie is that I somehow relate to him.After all I have been in the Cross Country Team while studding in the States and when I was his age I took part in many running competitions. You should have seen me watching this movie, as another reviewer (samurai2347) wrote “I was chee

from which you can customize different images and use them in your blog , web site , forum …etc.
Barnens O 2007-01-10 01:24:18 I did not quite get Barnens O – it is one of the weirdest ones I have watched. The soundtrack was quite unusual as well – written and performed by Jean Michel Jarre - it makes the movie weirder than it was. I have to admit that I was almost going to change it and watch another one instead –at times the movie seemed plain dumb to me, or boring – or confusing. There are quite a few sexual references in that movie – trough they too are kind of messed up .
Probably the only phrase that I will remember out of it is going to be “When you are alone, you can control things “– and “I will show them “- or something like that .The boy in that movie was obsessed with the idea of not growing up – “the last summer as a child “he thought once – and he sure lived it to the max. So if you have few hours to spare you can watch this movie – but you won`t miss much if you don`t.
Sapore Del Grano - The Flavor Of Corn (1986) 2007-01-09 00:57:51 My guess is that this movie is going to evoke different feelings in different people. I felt disappointed- not of the movie – I like it a lot, but of the way the leading character (a first year teachers) choose to follow – I almost screamed “ how dare you “ – even trough I know that some people would say that he did the right thing.
The scenes were filmed very professionally – the river, the barn, the fields – you just have to see it for yourself. There is one thing that I find strange – the open minded people that live in the rural Italy in the 80s – this is almost unbelievable - for its time I am sure that this movie was considered very controversial – I won`t be surprised if it is considered controversial even today . Feeling such as friendship and love are portrayed very good and there is a lot of romance – even trough sometimes it gets between all that clusters of the routine live.
Trough I enjoyed the movie – it made me sad – it did not surprised me muc Read more:Flavor

My 2007 resolution 2007-01-02 15:27:36 This is my first post for 2007 and I guess I should write something nice and positive - it is just that I don`t feel that way. Why- because I was watching the news the other day and they showed people leaving for UK or Spain and I wondered how long am I supposed to wait before I can do that same thing. So if there is one new year resolution for me it will be to move and start living in Spain or Germany untill the end of this year - so please wish me good luck on that .

Statistic of a post 2006-12-17 15:05:25
Looking at the statistic of ” Thank you - The new album from Declan -Review ” I wonder what is wrong with my blog. As you can see from the screen shot on the left - this post was seen by 338 people and yet there are 8 comments on it - I am thankful for them, but couldn`t help wondering why most people do not share their views - does my policy of moderating comments before they appear to be blamed , and if not what is it - I have no idea.

WinSnap - makes screenshots better 2006-12-15 14:40:01 I have used quite a few applications to take screenshots for my blog or for other purposes. One of them is the popular Snag It , but recently I found another small, free and useful tool- the name is WinSnap - the screenshots taken with it look pretty sleek and you can see this from the example below :

Just came back from the Arcades 2006-12-09 13:27:48 I think I mentioned that there is an arcade place near the place I live at now. Since I do not know many people in town - or at lest not many in the neighborhood , I developed a habit of going there almost every evening about 9 pm by myself. Like today I spent to much time playing on the pinball - and then when I went upstairs there were people already playing on the Dance Dance revolution - two kids actually , and two girls were waiting to get going - well for some reason they let me go first - not that I asked or anything - one of them was really cute - I played a lot especially on the Butterfly vibe - and when I finished ( took me about 30 min) the girls went on - damn they were dancing so good -I stayed and watched - the blond girl looked like a girlfriend of me from the States - damn I will go playing tomorrow again ( :
One foggy afternoon – a friend will come 2006-12-08 09:18:45 Few hours ago I met a friend
of mine. It has been 2 years since we last saw each other. We talked and talked …about us, our lives now, what happened – and what may or may not happen. At the end we exchanged our phone numbers – and may meet again – in a year, two or later – or may be next week – as happens…
That meeting made my both happy and sad – I have come to realize that something like love can be blessing and a curse at the same time. Not that I did not know this before – but somehow this view grows stronger in me. And I wonder even trough I get lonely sometimes – if this isn’t for the best …or probably it is not – it is just me afraid from being hurt …
For one thing I felt how I deeply miss someone with whom I can share just about everything , and how good it would be if I could wave my hand – and make everything more simple for me – to meet whoever I want , do whatever I want – but it ain`t that easy – it never is .
And still it is good that I
AI ( Private Virtual Personality) 2006-11-30 13:00:12 Do you remember - AI ?
Such a great movie with incredible story line , gread director and HJO starring can not be easily forgot. Few months ago everyone was able to chat with artificial intelligence chat robot called A.L.I.C.E right from the movie website . Back then I trough that A.L.I.C.E is pretty cool and then just today I discovered new and much more developed pattern-matching chatbot Alan - and while he is cool the “child machine” named Hal is even cooler . Trough it you can even chat with David Swinton (the mecha child from the film A.I. David lives in the A.I. universe and was the creation of Dr.Allen Hobby at Cybertronics New Jersey.) - just type ”Speak to DAVIDSWINTON” when you talk to Alan.
The greatest feature of the website on which you can chat with Alan and Hal is the possibility to create your own Private
Virtual Personality
. And then ou can teach your own virtual pal - by talking with him I mean. It is quite an interesting thing to do . By the way
