Paradise???

This is simply another painful horror story that makes you actually wish you were one of the victims. One of those movies where you would actually prefer to die the horrible death the antagonist has in store for the characters, rather than sit through it.

Set in Brazil, a group of young travellers narrowly escape a bus crash and find a bar on a beach, with cheap booze and beds. After the first night of partying, the group wake up to find they have been robbed and left with nothing. Then paradise turns into hell when a perceived friend leads them to a seemingly deserted house in the middle of nowhere.
people movers!!

The antagonist of the film, an evil doctor, plans to harvest their organs. Luckily for a few the plan doesn’t go so smoothly, and the movie as you can guess surrounds the escape.

I’m sorry if I have ruined it for you but anyone could guess the plot of this style of movie, lots of young good looking half naked people, being set upon by a twisted mind of some sort, who narrowly escape with their lives, but not their sanity.

Of course you could always just guess which ones get the chop (mind the pun) and which ones survive. That would probably have been the only interesting aspect to this waste of my last two hours.

Marie Antoinette

September 23rd 2008 08:36
2006
Starring: Kirsten Dunst, Rose Byrne, Jason Schwartzman, Rip Torn.
Directed by: Sophia Coppola

oh....its so hard to be a Queen

This extravagantly presented story of the infamous last Queen of France is an interesting yet incoherent adaptation. The story’s intrigue and the seamless set designs are unbelievably let down by the poor acting and the contemporary score Coppola chose. This movie is portrayed in a way which reduces the impact of the story, making it just another coming of age movie about a young woman, diminishing the importance of Marie Antoinette’s role in history.
so busy!!!


The movie is worth watching though, simply for the intricate detail of the sets, the sprawling perfectly manicured gardens of Versailles and the accurate representation of Marie Antoinette’s historic relevance. Although don’t expect much; the score mostly sourced from 80s New Wave music greatly diminishes from the serious concepts of the story and the script at numerous points is cringe worthy.

Spanning over two hours, the film includes all the important aspects of Marie Antoinette’s story and the intricate detailing and over the top aspects of the sets do represent her legacy; but the eccentric way this movie is executed detracts exponentially from its significance.
In the gardens of Versailles


As much as I found the movie draining, it did make me want to dress in couture, live in unbounded luxury, drink French Champagne, and eat cream pastries all day.

There is no doubting the chick flickiness of this movie!!

another art form

September 19th 2008 07:16
Hello fellow art lovers!!

As much as we all wish to believe that music is simply just a part of our lives it is hard to dispute the fact that it manipulates our moods and emotions in certain and particular ways which are out of our control, making it an undisputed art form.

This blog will simply be about music I have been listening to lately....not the latest music!!!

As we all can conceed that we only live a certain part of the human beings existence and there are many more other parts, which have created just as, if not greater music this blog is about experiencing them.

If you love all music, not just your genre, and are maybe looking for something else that will tickle those little hairs in your ears....or what you have left of them....stay tuned....I always get bored with similarity and love exploring new stuff.

I look forward to inspiring you to listen to something NEW (to you anyway).
