I remember a friend saying that if we are to become true lovers of books, we should keep our minds open to all subjects.
And much like what I said in my book review before that the only problem with the Hunger Games book is that I can’t stop reading it, I can say the same thing with its movie adaptation: I can’t stop watching it and I want to watch it again.
Oh finally. I finaly found some time to do some reading. And though it was not my intention (or possibly it’s just plain coincidence), the first book I read for this year is from the same author of the first book I read last year: Bob Ong. What are the odds? And oh what a [ Read More ]

After all, Peter Jackson and team plans to make this a 2 part movie. Which is interesting considering that this is not [ Read More ]
Then let us be rid of it! Once and for all! Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can’t carry it for you… but I can carry you! – Samwise Among other things, this is my most favorite part of this last installment of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. When Samwise carried Frodo all the way [ Read More ]

Gandalf is believed to be dead. Boromir is confirmed to be dead. Frodo and Sam has to take the accursed Ring of Power to the [ Read More ]
Some people have to be heroes and others have to be asked. I can’t believe I’m quoting Sarah Walker while writing this. Sorry, I just really miss Chuck and I still have more or less 5 weeks before I’d get to see him again. Anyhow, I’ve seen all three movies before I read the trilogy. [ Read More ]
