Demetri Martin

This guy is hillarious, I first saw his act on 'Just For Laughs Montreal' and I actually wanted to show that one, but sadly I couldn't find a video of it, but I found this one, which is pretty funny also, so enjoy.

Law Abiding Citizen

When I first saw the trailer for 'Law Abiding Citizen'I was so excited to watch this movie. I thought, damnnn hardcore thriller and action, maybe even something like se7en, and I absolutely loveeee that movie. Yet as I was watching Law abiding citizen, I felt more and more disappointed, because Geez this movie was so promising, it had some wonderful visual effects, it could have been really thrilling, to get me on the edge of my seat and it had one good scare tactic, with the judge getting killed by the phone was just gruesome. BUT that was it. There was no real clear timeline, first it seemed to be present, than it was ten years later and then suddenly the daughter of the new D.A. (Jamie Foxx) was 12, so suddenly there was a timejump of 2 years unannounced for no real reason, which made it real hard to really get a feeling of what the characters were thinking or feeling. Also, there some things that should have had more depth, such as the so-called-boyfriend or something Chester which came up with some really good info. However, more important, the people chosen for the characters just kind of felt off. You can agree or disagree with me, but Jamie Foxx... not such a good idea. I understand you need a really slick person for the kind role of Nick the attorney who makes deals with murderers, but Jamie Foxx just felt too slick. Too slick to see another expression on his face such as real worry or fear. And Gerald Butler, I personally love Gerald Butler, I think he knows how to really act, yet in this movie, he sort of came over as uncredible. When this movie was getting to its ending I just felt like this movie really wanted to be something like Se7en, with the quick, gruesome and intelligent killings, but to me as this movie proved this as well, you cannot just be like Se7en just because you have some of the ingredients. So all in all, I watched it, but I didn't watch with the same conviction and pleasure as I watched the trailer of this movie.

PS. I didn't notice this until now, but the posters kind offfff look alike, sort of Gerald butler being the new Brad Pitt and Jamie Foxx being the new Morgan Freeman??
(If this is the case, Jamie Foxx really needs some more practising.)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! -2010-

Going in the year with new socks...

Me and my boyfriend were having a friendly discussion about the fact that one should always start the year in new socks and new underwear, as well as new bedsheets. Accoring to him this is tradition, he, however, still couldn't give me a clear description or answer to what would happen if you didn't wear everything new or why you should. However it's not that I'm disagreeing with him about buying new things for new years eve, I just wanted to know why, but okay drifting off..
But I guess I'm also gonna keep up with the tradition, I now actually have a valid reason for buying new clothes (yay). And as I was looking for socks, I actually felt kind of proud when I bought it, because I never buy socks for some reason. Btw, I never knew socks could be so much fun to buy and that there are so many different kinds of socks, so also for the occassion a couple of pictures of my favourite socks and hoisiery (I see that as socks as well, yet cuter).

Cinderella shoes

I'm normally more of the boots and high heeled booties, but who can resist cinderella shoes and especially cinderella shoes that aren't made of glass but of comfortable rubber, and ones from Vivienne Westwood for Melissa.
I think I will buy these, but not entirely sure when to wear them with the bad weather that remains in the Netherlands.

Crazy hair...

When my hair grows long again and that is gonna take some time, considering my hair is way short, so probably in 2 years or so when I have the right length, I may consider shaving the side of my head, yet not as extreme as cassie, cause that was/is just too much. Or perhaps just shave streaks like the amazing Sofia Boutella.






Or for the less extreme, take an example from BoA:

Avatar

In all sincerity I can say that this movie completely surprised me, at first I thought it was going to be the lamest movie ever, a waste of a million dollar investment, but it is totally the opposite. I went to this movie with no expectations and it turned out I absolutely loved this film. Naturally I watched it in Imax 3D and it is totally worth the extra money.
Loved the symbolisms, metaphores and hidden messages and anyone who claims this movie is racist because a white man (yet in a darker body) is leading this whole show can bite me, because I understand that if you want to captivate your audience, you need to make them feel as if it is happening to them and give them that whole thrilling adventure.

Loved it.
