First of all I hope everyone had a great Mother’s day yesterday. Now as for the avengers, the movie was really good. I mean really action-packed with comedy. I have to say that I think this movie succeed because of the like of The X-men movies and Transformers. The balance between the superheroes, giving them screen time reminded me of the X-Men movies. Everyone had their moment in the movie (I was especially surprised by the Hawkeye and black widower. I thought they would be more behind the scene characters). The Hulk didn’t disappoint as he brought the action like no other. I hope they make another hulk movie with Mark Ruffalo. It’s sad that the hulk movie isn’t up there with IRON MAN or the Spiderman movies.   The ending battle between the aliens kind of reminded me of the transformers movie but overall it was great. I love the jokes in this movie; there were many funny moments especially with Tony Stark (Iron Man played by Robert Downey, Jr.). All and All excellent movie but I can’t say if this was the movie of the summer. But boy does The Dark Knight Rises have a huge number to beat.  It seems difficult for the dark knight to conquer such number but you never know, right? It just might happen. 

Although I liked the avengers, I still think that Prometheus might be my favorite movie of summer 2012. I don’t think it would be as successful as The Avengers (since it’s Rated R) but I think it might be number one for more than one weekend.  I can’t wait to see it. Anyway Great Movie The Avengers was. The sequel is on its way. I just hope that they have something clever the next time around and not the same recycling action from part one. They should take note from Transformer 2 and not make the same mistakes. Okay, thanks for reading, if you check out The Avengers then you already know how awesome it was. If you haven’t then you should because you will laugh, gasp and laugh again. Have a great week and take care as always. Bye

Summer is approaching and the movie theater is releasing load of summer blockbuster-like movies again. So many title to chose from and yet a few i'm interested in seeing. So here is my count down of movies that i'm interested.  The number one movie on the list would be the one that i'm most looking forward to.

8. The Avengers:- superhero unite to fight evil, i'm there:)  this will obviously going to be a great movie. I hope it does so well that a sequel would be planned. The Hulk is my fav followby The Hulk :) too bad The Hulk standalone movies weren't as successful :)

7. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter:- this is based on a book and it looks different and a very unique take on history. It seems origin and since it's based on a novel i would most likely check it out. Don't know yet whether to read the book first or just watch the movie and then see if i would read the book.

6. Snow White and The Huntsman:-  The action in this movie looks promising. It reminds me of 2010's Alice in Wonderland. And Ms. Theron looks captivating and beautiful despite being an evil queen in this movie. 

5. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days:- the two previous movies from this book were hilarious. It just captured the life of a middle-schooler and i bet everyone could identify with those characters. It's based on a book for kids of course ( that's why it's such a success of course:)

4. Sparkle:- although it looks like Dream Girl i just want to see it because of Whitney Houston . Very sad to lose such a great talent. 

3. The Amazing Spiderman:- i wasn't really interested in this movie at first but the latest trailer got me hook. And Emma Stone is quite the Stacy:) I hope it does well because something happens to Stacy and i would love to see how the movie would capture this moment. ( i don't think this would occur in the first movie, maybe the third movie).

2. The Dark Knight Rises: -  this was my number one movie for a long time and the trailer is great but i'm a bit worried that it would suffer "the third movie sucks" syndrome like Spiderman 3 or the Godfather 3 or the third Matrix movie. Hopefully it would be like Toy Story 3 ( Michael Arndth is such a talented writer might i add:). And here is the movie that beat The Dark Knight Rises and the trailer really took me by surprise and i really hope it lives up to the hype and more........

1.  Prometheus: - my goodness the trailer is GENIUS. why? because it's very mysterious( well the teaser trailer). I wanted to know what this movie was about and when they revealed what it was about in the other trailer i was sold:) the soundtrack to the trailer is just wonderful and very suspenseful. I already feel for these characters in the movie and i haven't met them yet. Something about being in space and facing an unknown terror is just creepy and make my skin crawl. i truly cannot wait to see this movie.  The movie looks real good, Mr. Riley Scott, it looks really good:)

I'll end my post by saying: "May the 4th be with you"----get it?, May the fourth (which sounds like force) be with you:)  and today's date (well in the United States  it's still the 4th while some of my blog readers/friends from abroad the day is already the 5th of May). Have a great weekend and take care!!!!

Hey guys!!! it's that time again. It is time to write what the fourth clue is for  The Christmas Series. I still haven't reveal the title of book one yet but i will sometime in the future.  On each month(Jan, Feb, and Mar) i have posted a clue for what the book is about. Please check out my blog to see each of the clues if you are interested. So here is the fourth clue to the book one of the christmas series which is coming out in December 2012.......... it'a  picture of Oatmeal Scotties. Yummy:) who doesn't like to eat cookies. A lovely treat for the christmas season.... i wonder who would eat such a treat hmmmmmm???  All you can do is guess for now but all will be revealed in December 2012 when you are able to get the story. Have a lovely weekday and i hope April 2012 was a blast. I can't believe summer is so close..... oh summer we love thee:)

Before i discuss about the new J.K. Rowling book,  I just wanted to say that i saw The Hunger Game last week and thought it was great (although the ending wasn't as powerful as the book). I know i was late in watching it but i'm glad i caught it in theater.  The movie is doing great at the box office and i'm so glad for this because i love to see movies based on books succeed. It makes the audience to read the books while the readers experience another medium of what they read. So i'm all for The Hunger Games beating the newcomers:) Okay enough about that l'm here to speak--or rather type what i thought about the new title of J.K. Rowling's first adult book but first here is the synosis:

When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock.

Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war.

Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…Pagford is not what it first seems.

And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations?

Blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults.

Okay the first time i saw this online i was like YES we finally have a title and then i read the title  and thought.......okay? that is a very unusual title for a book. I guess it reminded me of when she titled the seventh book: Deathly Hallow. No one had a clue about how this title linked up with the story. It was a strange title to end the series until i read it. The casual vacancy, i guess, is the same here. I think I have to read the book first before i would warm up to it. I'm not saying the title is terrible, rather it's okay but honestly it isn't something that would get my attention if i saw it in a library but with a name like J.K. Rowling even if she titled the book  The Right Right Mr. Right, people will be still interested and be excited about it.  So all in all the title wasn't an attention grabber but it wasn't out of left field like the deathly hallow was(well to me in my opinion).

I couldn't believe (again when i read the news online) that the title announcement came with a synosis so i quickly read it. And i read it again making sure i read it right the first time. My thought on this was...... it sounds good and  not a potterish  in any sense. I like that she isn't really giving much on the synosis and that there is drama in this little town. I have all the confident that this would be an entertaining story however i have a good feeling that it wouldn't be as captivating as book one of harry potter. And the other feeling is that the book might have a hint of personality from the Harry Potter Series seep into it. It wouldn't be a surprise if i read the book and a certain character almost sounded or behaved like Luna Lovegood or another character sounded or behaved like Bellatrix or this character is the dumbledore of the town.  This wouldn't shock me in the least bit but overall i think the  plot would be fresh and entertaining. I trust J.K. Rowling wouldn't disappoint( and she probably have great editiors to aid her.)

To my surprise, yet again, the release date was announced too. I was stunned they did this all in one news. When i read that it would come  out this year i was more than happy about this. It has been too long since J.K. Rowling wrote another book. I think waiting a year or so wouldn't be that surprising of a news but at the same time i wouldn't be that excited about her new venture into Adult Literature. It was an excellent decision to release it this year.  Now everyone is hyped about it because they don't have to wait too long to read it. So great decision to release it this year:)

Now the world is waiting for the book cover and i hope that comes out real soon too. I hope it wouldn't be lame(e.g. like showing a picture of a town with dots as people within it  or something along those line). It should really grab the reader attention.  So, like any other reader out there, is  curious to how the book would turn out. I wonder if this book would require her to write a sequel or it's a stand alone. It just another excitment that has come across the literature world in a while (well except  The Hunger Games doing well in the box office and book sells).

As alway thanks for reading my thoughts/opinions. I know you all are curious about the book (even if you might not be a book reader). I wonder if a movie version is already been planned at this moment. I bet a movie would be made( i mean The Host by Stephenie Meyer is being made despite the fact she is a popular YA author more so than an adult writer). So I wouldn't be surprise if they announced that Warner Brother has optioned or greenlight it. Okay take care and keep dropping by here when you can. Peace.

First of all i want to congraulate the winners of the giveaway of House Trap. These are the winners if you guys were curious: 1.  @cubicleblindness 2. @Abria Mattina 3.  Daryl Bittner 4. Desiree Oliver 5. Chapterxchapter. Again congrats!! to the winner and i hope that they're enjoying it.

The excerpt of Fiery Trap is now available at the Fiery Trap section of the blog.  I also posted the month that Fiery Trap would be available for publish.  The original date was sometime early 2012 ( between Jan-Mar period) but several things interrupted that date. First i wrote the story and it needed editing. (i've learned my lesson for prematurely publishing something that wasn't edited first by an editor) and second the story needed to be polished abit. The editor that i hired wouldn't be able to edit my story till around August time so this is why it will be ready by then. Also I remember telling you guys that this is a novel and not a novella so it took me a while to write it and do my daily task in life. I know that the end result would be great and i hope you are patiently waiting for it. For now you can read the excerpt and tell me what you think about it.

Thank you for your time and have a blessed week, chao:)

just wanted to wish you all a happy april fool's day and i just wanted an excuse to post this fun clip from Youtube. It's quite cool and i thought you might wanna check it out.  I also did a mini prank of course ( asking someone to pick up an imaginary coin from the ground, a classic april fool pranks) and as usual it worked. The classic pranks alway works:)  And the best thing about this day is that you don't have to send  your money to get anything for anyone.

Today is the release of Mirror Mirror, a retelling of the fairy tale Snow White. On June 1 Snow White and the Huntsman would be release in theater.  These movie gave me the inspiration to write my own take of the story. So this is the first of a few announcements i would post in the near future. The first being that i would be writing a modern take of Snow White. These movie coming out gave me that idea. And the title of my novella is......Whitney Snow. This story is part of a new series called A Fairy Modern Tale.

Here is the different between Mirror, Mirror, Snow White and the Huntsman &  Whitney Snow

Mirror, Mirror is based on comedy and adventure ( in a fantasy setting)
Snow White and the Hunts man is based on Action and Drama ( in a fantasy setting)
Whitney Snow is based on YA drama ( in a realistic setting/ our time period)

So far Whitney Snow has been fun to write and i hope to release it before the second movie is out in theaters. For now here is a book cover of Whitney Snow and underneath it is the battle between two evil queen: Queen Ravenna(Charlize Theron) and Queen Clementianna (Julia Roberts). I wonder who would win the box-office battle. For me, personally, since Snow White and the Huntsman have action and a war scene, i would chose that movie to win over Mirror, Mirror (Not to say that Mirror, Mirror isn't a good movie). I just prefer the action-packed delivery that Snow White and the Huntsman brings. Either way I love you check out my take of Snow White in today's setting. It's really intriguing to say the least.  

In the close future i would post another announcement concerning Fiery Trap. So as always thanks for reading my posting and sharing it with others. Hope you'all having a great weekend watching Mirror, Mirror or what ever movie you are watching. And I hope the Hunger Game rule the box-office this week though (since it's based on a book but Mirror, Mirror is based on a book too so it doesn't matter after all) sorry for that unnecessary ranting. Peace:)

Hey guys!!! i've been hearing great things about the hunger games but i haven't checked out the movie yet. I was a bit disappointed to hear that the movie also had shaky camera moments but at least it was good overall. Okay back to what i'm posting about. Like i did on January and February, I'm going to post a clue on March that has to do with book one of the christmas series. You can search through my posting for the first two clues. This book is coming out on December 2012 and i truly believe it's an original christmas story that every one would love. So here is the third clue........ M&M. Now why would this be a clue? Look at it carefully and the name might hint to something or something else that isn't edible:) That's all i'm going to say for now. This is the third clue for March 2012. The fourth clue would be posted on April so until then see ya and i hope you keep checking out my blog because i have an announcement to make in the near future. It's both a good news and a bad news. I will also update you on a writing project that i've newly started. So see you then:)

It's coming soon and the excitement keeps building up. Advance tickets are through the roof, the review are very good so far and now, on friday, it's up to us, viewers, to decide whether it lives up to the book or not. (I know some, if not most, would already say  the book is better than the movie, however i'm not one of those people. I love to see the movie first before i make that judgment: Ex. I love the 3rd Harry Potter Movie(POA) even if it didn't follow the book but  i digress).  I think the movie would be a success whether it's well-made or not. The sequel is already a go (that shows how confident they are with the first one. Those are good signs). I will definitely check it out and might post my review on what i thought of the movie.  Like i've stated in my early postings i love movies that are based on books. I like to see the movie sometime first or read the book first before i see the movie. In this case i've already read the book first (All three of them). It wasn't like that with the Harry Potter Series. I read the first book in the midst of the mayhem about the movie opening. i finally watched that movie on DVD and thought that they did a great  job capturing the book. I believe this movie would do the same ( and it's a comfort relief to know that the author was also the co-screenwriter of the movie.) So i hope every book reader is supporting this movie. Have a great time experiencing the process in movie-form. And while you're at it grab someone that haven't read the books so that when he or she sees this movie he or she would be interested in reading the books( perhaps it might be their first leisure read in a long time and what better way to start reading than to read about a future period where kids kill each other for a reality show:) Anyhoo I have post two youtube clip for you to check out. First is a review from IGN of the movie and second is teen react to Hunger Games. As always thanks for reading my posting and share my thoughts with others that might like to read it. don't be shy to like or tweet too:) Bye for now. 

P.S. I have a good and bad news to post on my blog in the near future. I hope you'll be there to read it.
