A man marries his landlady so he can take advantage of her daughter.
My thoughts: Watch out! here comes LOLA! Dolores such child is so out of control!very precocious! to be honest I have no idea what's it all about at first all I know is that there's a book that I haven't read but people throughout the years have been raving about.This story so screwed up! ABOMINABLE! I tell ya hahaha I like how this story brings some awareness about familial relations,what's right and wrong and mental issues. I think the term would be as they call it dysfunctional family...The guy didn't actually move on and was scarred early on with his first young love at an early age of 14. As for Dolores well she didn't grew up with a father with only her mom by her side who couldn't control her they're always yelling or arguing but there are some times they're okay and civil with each other. Now in real life if children like these do the same they would get spanked and punished a lot I imagined (especially if you have strict parents or coming from southeast asia) haha!
Spoiler alert! She got pregnant with some guy and she's smoking!? srsly while pregnant? OMG!she's so messed up! I don't know if anybody told her the consequences of smoking during pregrancy that poor child!
Sad ending really -_- Overall 3 out of 5 stars I think they all need some counseling and psyche consult!

After the death of his parents during World War II, young Hannibal Lecter moves in with his beautiful aunt and begins plotting revenge on the barbarians responsible for his sister's death.
My thoughts:
REVENGE! AVENGE! JUSTICE?!
Great job showing off how Hannibal's past, how he survived and why he became such a person. I can somewhat understand why but I truly hope he would just stop after that and not go on the wrong path. Overall I gave this movie 5 out of 5 stars superb acting performance!heartfelt storytelling and great character development! those bastards got what they deserved! #goteamlecter #shameshame
Living in exile, Hannibal Lecter tries to reconnect with now disgraced FBI agent Clarice Starling and finds himself a target for revenge from a powerful victim.
My thoughts:
Revenge better served cold then it turns sour as the tables turn and quickly bite you in the arse or in this case face!
I didn't really watch this movie series in order of release date or storyline or whatever I just watched them the moment I found them and so happens that I'm available at the time. I've been meaning to watch this film anyway since I started watching Hannibal (tv series 2013-2015). For some reason way back in the day I shy away or really don't want to watch it due to cannibalism involved even the movie cannibal.
anywho the story telling was quite boring to begin with, a bit action pack in some parts though there are other parts that simply failed to capture my attention. I like the last 20 minutes of the film as it truly put the pieces together I appreciated that especially that last meal OMG! truly disturbing!.
As far as the victim who plotted it all and tries to buy almost everyone who said yes to his plans are simply mad! good thing for hannibal being hannibal.
Julia Moore is simply ageless I can't believe she still look like this now wow! well as Clarice Starling I think she did a fine job quick kickass you go girl! Although I hope she'd go after hannibal herself overseas. The other characters are pretty much predictable and got what they deserve. Overall I gave this movie 3 out of 5 stars not quite as disturbing as I thought it would/should be. Dunno why I still like the tv series modern day take of this better.
It is often and almost always a common belief in some countries/places/people that children always tells the truth due to their pureness or that they are naive.
I don't think I believe in such a thing.For children of course are human as well although we think they won't gain anything from it or whatever it's most likely of fear especially if they do know of such fear that they/he/she would be punish for such wrong doings.
This story makes me mad a lot I guess this is to brought upon awareness to society as it does happens sometimes. I cried,sniffled a lot and that ending and the people ugh
Mads Mikkelsen, portrayed the character well I super empathized with him!
SPOILER ALERT!
I didn't really get a sense of justice in it.I thought Lucas would get his revenge or like leave town screw them as they screwed him but he's so nice! herd mentality blows man! some bffs pfft!you know at first I thought it was Marcus Godfather I mean looks like he got a basement ain't it? and isn't that the basement where they drink?
Although I applaud this film for bringing out some of the emotions I got in stored haha! the storyline's basic, normal,so-so that makes it quite realistic and simple.Some of the characters I find irritating and I despise while there are still a few that somewhat restored my faith in humanity in this film. Overall I gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars for the movie itself but 5 out of 5 stars for Mads Mikkelsen, acting truly well done man!
A retired FBI agent with psychological gifts is assigned to help track down "The Tooth Fairy", a mysterious serial killer; aiding him is imprisoned criminal genius Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter.
My thoughts:
Comparing Edward Norton to Hugh Dancy definitely hands down to Hugh I don't really like Edward's acting as Will. I think Hugh a great match for Will he's much more disturbed looking when he tries to imagine the crime scenes.
I still like the modern take of Hannibal (tv series 2013-2015) when the show try to capture/reimagine the crime scenes as for this film though Edward(will) only says in the tape recorder what he thought happened. Ralph Fiennes as the tooth fairy did a convincing job being mad and his voice having a cleft palate repair what I find quite disturbing yet funny was his scene with Freddie Lounds which is a male journalist played by Philip Seymour Hoffman that scene where the tooth fairy showoff his tattooed back and Freddie screamed in horror I found that display really hilarious and highly entertaining!
Hannibal was pretty much chill most of the time in this movie which I find a bit weird well just being him I guess just teasing and trying to manipulate some people and train of thought that last scene though gives me the creeps.
Overall I rate this film 2.5 out of 5 stars not much character development and I guess I expected something more although the last showdown between Will and the tooth fairy was quite well done I just really hope they'd be able to capture the culprit sooner.
I bought an early release date night on the town screening. I found out about it after watching John Green's (vlogbrother video) wonderful announcement!
Anyway, I totally forgot about it I had a lot of things to do that premiere day that I'm not able to attend I also fell asleep and woke up the next day it's all over haha who does that? :)) later on the day I managed to redeem my ticket,poster and heart necklace that comes along the package deal so that was nice.
As for the movie there's not a lot of people on the 24th probably we're around 20 people or so mix of teens and middle age group.
SPOILER ALERT!
The teens squealed when they saw Ansel Elgot (Augustus Waters,Tfios) cameo role and some older adults don't really get it haha! and I like the santa send off parting gifts haha
I'm glad and thankful that day as well I was seated in the middle the whole row of seats by myself solo OMG! feels so good I wonder if that's what directors feel like? xD
Overall the movie was alright, it was good although the story kinda drags and makes me want to fall asleep at times or maybe I'm just tired that day. The actors did some pretty good normal teenage acting Q kinda reminds me of John Loyd Cruz (Filipino Actor) in some ways the way he acts with his sad puppy eyes or something. Quite a different Nat and Cara pulled off her american accent well she's such a rebel. The ending was different from what I expected but oh well nice story. Q's friends they all went to a roadtrip of a lifetime they won't forget he seems almost crazy at first and near the end but all things end well so yeah...3 out of 5 stars. I think I like John Green's movies better than the books haha I like the visuals and character lines very modern/now. Although there are some bad actor angles they don't look as good you know and I find it weird because in their roadtrip not once did I see they changed drivers? really?seriously? all that driving men that's crazy! it was funny though.
In 1874, in the Imperial Russia, the aristocratic Anna Karenina travels from Saint Petersburg to Moscow to save the marriage of her brother Prince Oblonsky, who had had a love affair with his housemaid. Anna Karenina has a cold marriage with her husband, Count Alexei Karenin, and they have a son. Anna meets the cavalry officer Count Vronsky at the train station and they feel attracted by each other. Soon she learns that Vronsky will propose Kitty, who is the younger sister of her sister-in-law Dolly. Anna satisfactorily resolves the infidelity case of her brother and Kitty invites her to stay for the ball. However, Anna Karenina and Vronsky dance in the ball, calling the attention of the conservative society. Soon they have a love affair that will lead Anna Karenina to a tragic fate. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
My thoughts:
There was a time I got a little bit obsessed with this movie I watched it so many times and played the original soundtrack so many times as well I love it!
I love how this movie was created it's like an evolving theater very unique and impressive! The casting and characters performance was definitely phenomenal and spot on! the story reflects the society way back in the day but you can still see some those cultural aspect present in modern day in different countries in so many ways. What I like about this story is that the characters persevere in order to pursue their love and happiness plus the never ending question of morality. The costume designs by Jacqueline Durran so beautiful! wonderfully made!
My favorite character is none other than Count Alexei Karenin I was actually surprised by Jude Law's acting performance he did really well. I like how he's so righteous despite what happened. He respect and love Anna in his own way even til the very end. He's just so serious and uptight the exact opposite of Anna. What I like about Anna's character the way Keira Knightley portrayed it she's so cheerful and vibrant! very spontaneous! youthful I guess compare to her husband I think they're a lovely couple to begin with yin and yang.
At first I liked Count Vronsky but I think he's still young and stupid. I don't like what he did to Kitty he left her hanging in the air, continue to flirt to other ladies I don't think he's that exclusive when in comes to girls and dating in general I'd like to think he is with Anna and that his love for her is genuine enough although he can't really measure up to Karenin's standard.He needs to man up! and take responsibility for his actions like Karenin
There are multiple love triangles OMG! I think the love aspect of this film/story transcends over time I think we could all relate and learn from it one way or another. And of course young love like Kitty and Levin these two makes my heart flutter the ways the tables turned for them so sad yet sweet at the same time they're actually a good match it's just that Kitty of course at first think the grass is always greener on the other side with Vronsky and her dream being like Anna but Levin and her actually they both bring the good out of each other.
That ending though....holy moly! I'm not really expecting it can't really say I saw that coming even though I watched it so many time by jove! It's so sad and painful to die that way. Overall, I'd rate this movie 5 out of 5 stars so heartwarming and brilliant! I highly recommend it!
At first I'm scared watching it all alone just the like the previous films I watched it solo haha
afterwards I'm more of surprised really this prequel is not as good as the other ones but it's a nice thing to get to know how all the crew got together. I like how spooked I was with the classic BOOM! in your face scare tactic haha! I screamed by the window scene and at the very end that was fun ;))
The dad was trying to get it together but he seems so messed up the kids well will always be kids. The youngest is almost always acting up drutted kid but he somewhat redeemed himself telling his dad how to solve the problem,acting all brave and all near the end although he's not always present in the movie. The girl's a typical teenager she needs some guidance and decided to contact her dead mother like why? seriously why? like why not just pray? ugh or like think of her being in a better place stay strong and act like what oldest sister do oh girl you're in so much trouble! I think the lack of her dad's presence in her life affects her so much #teenageproblems then again just like J.K Rowling once said there's an expiration date in blaming your parents moving on ( I know it's just a film haha!) I always thought it's bad to break the circle like when you hold hands and stuff for contact or whatever but this film proved me wrong (or is it? especially in real life) OMG!
Some of things that's good to be reminded of:
Never contact anything from the other side- once you made that connection something almost always comes along with it that's not really what you're expecting (mostly bad stuff)
The further is a scary place good thing there's a lamp in there and not a candle OMG imagine that!
Ghost business is nothing like show business it's hella scary most of the time
Face your fears!
Don't talk to strangers!
Make sure you almost always have somebody with you especially when sick.
Make sure your neighbor crush is home before you start knocking at their wall haha!
When alone and someone attack you grab anything hit them with all you got! self defense 101 kick their ass!
and so much more! etc.
Overall this movie 2.5 out of 5 stars it's alright so-so if you wanna instantaneously spook yourself go ahead! I like this series and I think this is also Leigh Whannell directorial debut Congrats!
22 years after the original Jurassic Park failed, the new park (also known as Jurassic World) is open for business. After years of studying genetics the scientists on the park genetically engineer a new breed of dinosaur. When everything goes horribly wrong, will our heroes make it off the island?
My thoughts:
Jurassic Park (1993) will always have a very special place in my heart what I love about this Jurassic World (2015) version besides the fact that it's much more technologically advance Owen (Chris Pratt) made a connection between man and beast. I love how Owen bridge that gap how much he cared for his raptors, relate and relay to others how these animal feels, the way he trained he trained them with love and care.Also how he took control of different scary and risky situations in order to save someone who needs help.He's so kick ass!
I like how interactive this park is you can do so many things,ride amazing rides,you can canoe,ride a train/truck or this hamster ball thing.
I'm really amazed by this one...totally made a big splash! amazing!
I still can't believe Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) ran in those heels OMG! seriously? all throughout the entire film that's just bonkers! the kids did alright they're acting's accurate how kids are these days they showed different kinds of emotions and did some crazy things.
SPOILER ALERT!
I think they're family will hold up just fine after this park experience.
So Claire and Owen? I think they're a great couple after what happened I think they'd be inseperable haha!
I like how the park managed to hold up after what happened a lot of people managed to take cover in that volcano like city center which I find a bit weird I think that's the only untouched building? I dunno but of course there are still a lot of carnage.
Oh and that near the end moment when Claire unleashed a new raptor? which was a bit calmer than that psychopathic raptor one that was so cool! insta solution! well I'm just glad they got that one on reserve or else yikes! and that very last epic raptor battle whoa! that was amazing!
I think they did a very good job on this one! very modern and the dinosaurs looks a lot more natural looking, the graphics and cinematography's nice. Overall I'd rate it 4 out of 5 stars! I still think the 1993 version's a lot more scarier than this one haha! still a very family kid friendly film. ^_^v

OMG! I love this movie so much and I'm so glad I watched it after I finished the book.So many wonderful moments that made me laugh,cry,tears of joy T_T I appreciated it more because I've read the book mayhaps.
One of my favorite characters in this film is Captain Shakespeare,Robert De Niro did a phenomenal job he made me laugh so hard!
and he's so nice,very nurturing in a fatherly way.
I also love Ian McKellen's voice over as the narrator.The Guard at the wall was so kick ass even though he's old I thought he would be out smarted the second time around he did such a great job that scene was so cool! The wicked witches sisters they're quite scary but they definitely got me going with the story as well as the stormborn brothers their legacy and quest they're brilliant!Yvaine and Tristan they're so perfect actually their character grew in to me over time along with the story.Although there's quite a bit of variations from the book I think it's still so awesome! especially about the babylon candle wh:OA! and the ending :D
Overall I gave it all the stars in the world! heck the entire universe! XD

Story:
The Imperial Coin cast that used to mint coins was stolen.Department Six and the Divine Constabulary(secret investigatory department sanctioned by the royal prince) is working on the case.Even though the cast was recovered.Zhuge Zhengwo[(Right picture)guy in the middle with a beard] the leader of the Divine Constabulary told his group the stolen cast case is not yet over.
Meet the Characters:
Zhuge Zhengwo (Anthony Wong), Leader of the Divine Constabulary,He also got amazing & lethal martial art skills.There are some parts of the story in which he might know something else much more than what it's intended than others.He's a really great guy that holds the group together, tries to unite & hire the best of the best.
Yayu, [(Emotionless)Crystal Liu Yi Fei,] she's a cripple mind reader also known for hidden secret weapons.She might not have a lot of dialogues but whenever she spoke oh man! definitely full of wisdom & meaning! she spoke of the truth of course and because of her powers she knows & use animals such as birds as a spy.Definitely a humble kickass female character her fight scenes are awesome! Especially near the end it was EPIC! her martial art skills is quite flawless inspite of her condition. I'll ship her & Leng Lingqi XD
Leng Lingqi (Deng Chao),suspended from his constable due to breach of duty,secretly works for Lord Liu.Leng was then hired and works under the Divine Constabulary.He has a lot of character conflicts,developments and tried to hide some of his wolf like instincts. He like Yayu but can't say it but he knows she knows it due to her powers.
Yaohua (Jiang Yiyan), Leader of a warrior girl group assigned to the fourth constable.She secretly works for Lord An Shigeng & love Leng Lingqi.Her trust and loyalty is somewhat unstable in some instances but was revealed in the end.
Lord An Shigeng (Wu Xiubo), the bastard that has a lot of hidden agendas (I don't wanna state it here for it will spoil a lot of stuff for you). I hate this guy which makes him a really good antagonist.
There's definitely lots of amazing characters in this story!
Cui Lueshang [(Left)Ronald Cheng],a professional debt collector,he knows the underground market well & loves his wine he said he stayed at the Divine Constabulary & continue to work there because of it plus other perks.
Tie Youxia [(Right)Collin Chou],
one of the great martial artist.I also call him Iron man/man with an Iron fist haha! look at his cool tattoos :O
Now that you finally know some tid bits about the characters and the story let me tell you my overall reaction and movie experience...OMG! it was amazingly awesome! (you might saw it coming though haha) well it was somewhat traditionally executed but I love it the very beginning,the opening scenes with the chinese flute like music background and the bird flying around it was smooth and what I'm totally expecting for a chinese film.
The fight scenes are gorgeous! I have no idea what this whole movie is about til I watched it and I love every second of it.There's high and low points between characters,lots of hidden plots and agendas being covered and uncovered.Quite a classic & a mood changer for me.One of the best chinese films I ever saw! They say it was based on a book,classic novel I'm definitely looking forward to read it.

My thoughts,rating and overall movie experience:
Many thanks to Aunt Susan who treated us for this wonderful Christmas movie it's been quite part of the tradition in our family to watch and go to the movies every year well except for last year. But anyway, I got some ideas about the movie I managed to get a glimpse of some parts from the trailer and advertisements etc. it's been a couple of years since I actually watched the other versions so yeah truly looking forward watching them all unfold.
The Child Cosette is so adorable and absolutely perfect for the role then Amanda Seyfried is the perfect grown up match Cosette and Eddie Redmayne (Marius) he's so french they are the perfect couple in this movie ever! Their love triangle in which I feel so sorry for Samantha Barks (Éponine)
The moment I saw that they cut off Anne's hair I know for sure that she's gonna win an award!
and she did a wonderful job! she sang her heart out,portrayed a vulnerable character,flexible in many ways.
Éponine, took number one with her ON MY OWN song (timeless piece ever!)
OMG! look at Samantha Barks's tiny waist :O I wish and would like mine's like that haha! I think that's the first one I noticed and the next would have to be is that she's quite a look a like of the one playing Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) in Once upon a time
I haven't heard or know Samantha until I googled her apparently she's been through a lot of broadway shows or so yeah! amazing voice and lovely too.
The last scene in the movie actually is truly a tear jerker I thought I'm the only one but then I heard quite a number of sniffles here and there so I'm relieved I'm not alone! haha! I'll give this movie a 5 out of 5 stars it made me cry especially towards the end I wouldn't even thought of it but the way the musical goes and spoke to my heart w:Ow I actually got a heart! haha! I would most definitely buy this in Blu-ray!

My thoughts,rating and overall movie experience:
5 out of 5 stars! CLASSIC!
This scene made me want to watch the movie in the first place and I do admit I cried a lot watching this film and no matter how many times I watched this.OMG! it's very faithful to the book. Anne Hathaway & Jim Sturgess their very existence is the perfect embodiment of Emma and Dex.
They're like my favorite fictional couple of all time! XD
I dunno what else to say about this I think I already said everything in my book review it's just so Perfect! because usually whenever they make a book to movie adaptation they change or revise some things even though the playwrite is the author but this movie oh no they totally made this truly a great match for every events.I like how they laid it out plain and simple with the dates so that people who haven't read the book would still know and of course for all of us to be reminded of oh so that was this year then that was last year etc.
I've been looking forward to this movie for a very long time and it was worth it!Good job and hands down to everyone who made this film possible.I would definitely recommend this to everyone and buy it in Blu-ray!^^,

My thoughts,reaction,gifs (from tumblr),overall movie experience XD
I'm so looking forward to this movie
Yup, imagine me doing that cheer while walking...heading towards the movie theater lol well..in my head at least. Ok so we watched the movie September 30,2012 (Sunday) coz we didn't know it's only playing on selected cinemas our journey began 7:10 pm we are planning to watch it on 8:05 pm. (the original time being 7:05 pm but that was ok ;))
Before we head there of course I'm looking for other alternative routes like the back roads you name it but still the same time traffic jam the latest and the less one I took which is yes that's right 27 minutes worth of traffic for like (5.3 unbelievable miles) well at least it's the moving kind not the stuck up one...it was ok better than what I expected it to be.
Inside the car Me,Geraldine (19) and Gemma (14) [2 niece(s?)] talked about you know the usual stuff about school,Russia,essays,reminiscing,playing with the radio stations,laughing and scenarios that could possibly happen at the theater.Of course either there's :
1) lots of people and it's tough to find a good seat,standing,over crowded,get a different time slot.
2) just the three of us inside the auditorium.
3) Sold out tickets.
while playing those scenario games though it could go in so many ways.We finally arrived at the venue hooray! and easily found a parking spot right around the corner yey! and since it's sunday we don't have to pay for that particular spot ha! talk about lucky! gahd I love this day ;))
Geraldine exchanged our vouchers so we're situated at Auditorium 3.I went on ahead to go to the restroom while they purchased some food in the center of it all (just basically before the entrance inside the theater).Then I went back to look for them then off inside...it's quite like a ghost town just us in the corridor but yey! finally some people (more likely on a movie date or something).Some of them are so dull,no reaction at all but we're quite like the life of it all actually we laughed a lot,cried at some parts and so on. Just so heart warming and touching it's just so...can't really explain it that much you just gotta watch it for yourself experience such emotional joy ride.
I felt every bit of Charlie's emotion.He's so adorable,sensitive, captured and showed such awkwardness especially the during their dance( Him,Sam & Patrick) cuteness overload! there are times that just simply cracks me up about him.
I just felt so alive....and infinite!
I think Emma Watson did an amazing job as Sam
this scene feels a little bit titanic-ky ;)
and Patrick, OMG! he's so gay (happy you name it) and fantastic in doing so! I absolutely love him! (yes I know right talk about the excessive use of !) I saw some of myself in him (like...I was like that when I was in college so fun,jolly,makes everyone so comfortable and at ease or so at least make them all feel welcome.Befriend anyone,talk to them even though we're not on the same class or if we did or whatever coz everyone is just so nice to talk to XD I'm like one of my best self that time pwahaha! )
The Rocky Horror Film is better than what I imagined I'm awe and amazed :O
Overall, everybody did a phenomenal job though there are some scenes that made me think back and forth about the book.The book is always better but these actors/actresses made everything come to life! Mr. Stephen Chbosky is truly spectacular directing the movie and everything.I applaud every part of the crew!
I'm gonna give this a rating of 4 out of 5 stars
and I'm definitely gonna buy it in BLU-RAY!
Heading back home was also one of the most awesome part we hit the green light combo,sang and shared what we liked or don't like about the movie we laughed and screamed talked about infinity.Looked for some infinity songs playing in the radio it was a great night!We're really glad we watched this movie! we can't even stopped talking about this at home we also started recommending it to some people that we know (that might like it or just basically whatever) We got a movie hangover (can't move on) coz it's so good took us awhile to calm down lol XD
so have you seen the movie yet? are you planning to?what do you think?
here's the trailer in case you wanna watch it again (and again like me lol perhaps refresh your memory ;))
Gil Pender (Owen Wilson) successful Hollywood screen writer and an aspiring author is on vacation with his Fiance Lnez (Rachel McAdams) in Paris along with her Parents. He's in love with Paris to a point he's even considering living there and leave everything behind in California in order to write his novel but Lnez she's not feeling it.Gil always liked the 1920's and so one time he got very drunk after wine tasting with Lnez and her family instead of going dancing with his fiance and her friends he decided to go back to the hotel and walked.He was lost,tired and drunk he sat over at a flight of stairs waiting for a cab then clock strikes twelve an old school vehicle pulled over some people inside started to call for him invited him for a party before he knew it he's drinking again,talking to strangers parisians,americans etc. eventually it got into him that the people he's talking to are the real deal famous people! like Scott Fitzgerald,Zelda Fitzgerald,Picaso all his idols.He also met a very lovely lady who also accompanies him during his strolls from that point on his life changed! late night strolls became a habit,he met a lot of interesting people who helped in his writing,lots of big decisions to be made.Oh boy!
OMG! this movie is fantastic! absolutely brilliant,wonderful and amazing! why didn't I see this any sooner?! I love the cast and how they played their characters really well.The costumes,music and scenery absolutely breath taking.
(Spoiler Alert) though there are some points in which Gil should have reason out with his fiance's parents tell them about the deceit and lies Lnez holiday fling fiasco than just leaving the hotel room with a mere goodbye.I like the part where Gil told Paul (one of lnez's college crush and Friend) about the part he got wrong about history and Picaso's painting haha!. A Part where Gil thought he would score that night but didn't tsk tsk..also the part where he finally met a girl in the end who likes to walk in the rain alongside with him aww...(though she's a bit young-er than/for him but hey they're in Paris! it's nice to have some company and sight see plus of course walk in the rain ;)))
This movie made me feel and urge me to go to Paris even more along with my Cousins,Family and Friends and perhaps secretly waiting til the clock hits twelve midnight.Ah what a beautiful and romantic rendezvous awaits haha!
I'll give this five out of five stars (and if possible I'll give it an infinite value!) seriously this is so awesome well thought and made! mere words can't suffice how I love and adore this movie hands down! If you like the 1920's, jazz,Scott Fitzgerald,classic and old school you should definitely watch this movie! I'll definitely buy this in Blu-ray ^_^
This movie was about an hour and a half long.The leading protagonist Melinda Sordino played by Kristen Stewart is about to begin a new school year .Because of what happened last summer party nobody wants to be her friend anymore well except this new girl from Ohio (Heather Billings), her previous group of friends despise her entire existence,whispers behind her back without even knowing the truth well except nearly the end of the movie where the big reveal was kind of a big shocker for everyone.(Isn't always?)
I think that it's very faithful to the book.Kristen Stewart's awkward and silent acting skills (well I don't know if that would even count because most of her roles are quite like that just saying) but it works for this kind of flicks. The way she conveyed her emotions through her eyes, little actions and scripts delivered it pretty much ok I like how she just burst out her feelings and told Heather how much of a user/social climber she is and just stood up,speak for herself!ha!.I've decided to watched this because I was kinda intrigue how would it be portrayed in the big screen and hey! I can't say no just because of the people portraying it plus the Q&A author portion talk at the back of the book surely was interesting.
I like how Michael Angarano portrayed Dave Petrakis he's one of my favorite characters he's bright and got the guts to stand up for himself and defends others a true friend! the second one was Mr. Freeman (Steve Zahn) you'll always have that weird teacher that would let you do almost anything in class :D
I don't want to give any spoilers and if I did (Oops ;)))

I would give this movie 3 stars it was ok I sorta like it but I won't buy it in bluray it's a good reference whether you've read or not check it out and tell me what you think about it ^_^
