Movie Review: While You Were Sleeping

For me the 90s is the best time for Romance movies! It is the time of Sandra Bullock, Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts and their amazing classic Romantic stories. I grew up watching their movies, so I have a special bond to them and I also believe that the 90s was the prime of movie Romance. Today we rarely see any GOOD romantic movies (other than the romantic comedies with Katherine Heigl). It’s so rare that I don’t even bother going to a romance movie in theaters these days.

So, this movie! I love! I adore! It’s so cute and so so special to me! It’s actually why I started collecting snow globes (when you watch the movie, you’ll understand :p) So, the story is this: Lucy (Sandra), a simple girl works at the ticket collecting booth at the metro station and fantasies everyday about a man (Peter Gallagher) who passes by her booth. One day, as she worked the Christmas holiday, two thieves mug that man and throw him into the railway. Wanting to save his life, Lucy jumps after him and saves him. In the hospital, they take him into the ICU and don’t allow her to enter. As she stare at the door, the nurse hear her says “But I was going to marry him” and that starts one amazing romantic story!

As I said, I love this era. It’s when the simplicity of the plot and setting made the movie richer! The moment the DVD played and I heard the opening soundtrack and the not so clear cinematography, I felt like home! This movie has a special air and its so freaking romantic!

Sandra was brilliant in it! She really played Lucy’s shy cute personality. The way she delivers the character’s emotions is so beautiful. As we see her now winning Oscars and making us laugh in blockbuster Comedies, it’s nice to see how brilliant and genuine she was back then and how much she grew ever since.

This is such an enchanting story! It is a complete classic. I need to watch more of those movies! 90s was when love was pure and just simply cute!

Movie Review: Mirror Mirror

“Mirror Mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all”

The story of Snow White and the wicked Queen is a story we memorize by heart from our childhood; we know how it starts and we know how it ends, but we can never have enough of. It just tickles hearts by the prospect of a great love story and a happy ending. That’s why it’s a timeless story.

That’s why whenever I hear a classic fairytale is being remake as a film, I feel skeptical. What if it got ruined?? I can tell you one thing, readers, NOT in this film!!! Mirror Mirror is just sooo AMAZING!!! I was dying to see it when I first saw the trailer. The movie was hilarious, adventurous and full with LOVE.

Two elements helped this movie to be an awesome blockbuster: the enchanted setting and Julia Roberts!! Let’s talk first about the setting: It was so beautiful. It was as magical as the fairytale itself. It was a master piece. Second, the talented, amazing, funny and beautiful, Julia Roberts; she was hilarious!!!! She took the evil creepy Queen image and turned it to this snarky, sarcastic, coco loony character. Her performance is perfect!!!

I’m really enjoying how movies are recreating the classic fairytales we’re used to see. From “Red Riding Hood” to the coming “Beauty and the Beast”, a new generation of fairytales is introduced to us. This movie has a fun teenager mood to it, but we will see the dramatic mood of “Red Riding Hood” in “Snow White and The Huntsmen” (if you don’t know it, see the Trailer). The other Snow White story which will be released in June. The Queen is Charlize Theron and the Huntsmen is Chris Hemsworth, oh, my god!!! The only bad vibe I get from this movie is from Kristen Stewart, let’s hope her performance in this movie is better than Twilight, eh!

Bottom line, the movie is AWESOME!! Go see it!!!

Movies are so so so so fun these days!! Long Live Creative Imagination!!!
