I love Jane Austen and her works (and the adaptations that come out of her work) so when I read that girl crush Camilla Belle is going to be part of a modern day adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, I flipped. Prada To Nada puts a Latina twist to the story when Camilla and her co-star Alex Vega trying to make it in East LA after their dad dies leaving them with no money. Fingers crossed for a good adaptation. [Total Film] ( » )

Let the Games Begin?	[Goodreads]

My four month vacation gave me the luxury of reading books all day and everyday. Unfortunately, employment does take away a good 8+ hours of my day and thus don't have as much time to read actual books (with fic dominating my life).

But when poetrytoprose (and everyone else on my twitter feed) raving about the first two books of The Hunger Games Trilogy, I thought it wouldn't hurt to give these books a try. I'm usually a chick-lit kind of girl, (sci-fi ain't really my thing) and I wasn't so hot about more vampires or werewolves or supernatural whatever.

So when I was informed that it was purely human, set in a post-apocalyptic North America (known as Panem), I figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. And boy am I glad I took a chance. I breezed through book 1 in ONE day and finished the 2nd book in 3 despite being at work. These book own me. ( » )

Meet Cute	[R-McAdams.com ]

I saw that the posters for The Time Traveler's Wife were in the 'coming soon' section at Trinoma. Could this be a sign that I might actually get to see the movie on opening day? Because after seeing some sneak peeks and behind the scenes footage of it yesterday, I don't know if I could wait any longer.

How adorable can Rachel McAdams get?! I was so happy to see her in Comic Con and now that she's doing press for The Time Traveler's Wife with always handsome, Eric Bana, I swear I wish I could have gone to a Barnes and Noble signing like meesters! Some girls have all the luck! So jealous!!!( Read more... )

Dark Secrets Revealed	[All Movie Photos]

I guess I have to start this by saying I'm not the biggest Harry Potter fan there is. I loved reading the books and I enjoy watching the movies, so I guess that makes me the bottom feeder of fans. I can't quote stuff and remember details, but I certainly enjoy the movies, so this entire entry will practically be coming from someone who's sort of forgotten the details of the book (and is easy to please -- when have I not been?)

Nevertheless, despite my being a supposed not-quite-fan, I actually woke up early (for me) to watch the first screening at Trinoma, which was full, despite it being a working/school day. We were lucky enough to still score tickets 5 minutes to showing time.

Before I forget: It's surpassed The Dark Knight with midnight screening ticket sales earning $22.2 million. Also, I really like all their posters, cause I'm shallow like that. i forgot to bring the scarf I crocheted AGAIN. ( Read more... )

Here and Now	[Goodreads]

I can't really form coherent thoughts right now because after finishing the book, I was still in tears. Starting the book already got me all choked up, so imagine how I was when I actually went to the more heart-wrenching parts of it.

It's funny cause this book has been lying around jamypye's bookshelf for ages. She read it a long time ago and that in itself is a feat as Pamy barely reads/finishes books (nowadays). Meaning this book must have been brilliant for Pamy to finish it in a decent amount of time.

Still, if it wasn't for the movie with Rachel McAdams coming out, I don't think I would have the final push to actually read the book. I guess I needed my love for McAdams to get me to read it. And no regrets. It was beautiful. _lexizzle walked in on me crying over it and needless to say he was kinda shocked to see his sister in tears at 2 in the morning over a book. I'm a softy, bring on the tissues. ( Read more... )
