ILLUMINATI ACTION

I am very much looking forward to Angels and demons as Tom Hanks (one of my favourite actors) is back as Dr. Robert Langdon and this time he is solving a mystery at the Vatican.

I am very happy to see Tom Hanks once again in the sequel of The Da Vinci Code. When I first saw the movie trailer for TDVC something told me there is something special with the content.
Actually it was a masterpiece!

“Stunning, thrilling and absolutely breathtaking! It's intelligent, stylish, remarkable and unforgettable. Director, Ron Howard has crafted a beautifully constructed, anticipated and mind-blowing mystery and Tom Hanks has never been better. I really loved the music and any of the flash back sequences in The Da Vinci Code. A lot of the ideas are neat, and yes I love historical fantasy like that.

Now, I very much looking forward to Angels and Demons and I’m sure the movie will be a big hit just like Da Vinci Code. I am more than aware that it’s a huge film with huge content which will requires my full attention to absorb the quality of the plot so I am pretty sure that I will see this movie more than twice.

PS. I would prefer to see Monica Bellucci as the Italian scientist coz she's a real sexy Italian mouse!

To be or not to be

Ευτυχώς τελικά που το cinema εξακολουθεί να είναι μία εικονική ύπαρξη στην ζωή μας και να μας ταξιδεύει στα μαγικά του εφέ. Η κάθε ταινία με το μοναδικό της στοιχείο μας πέρνει μέσα απο ανατροπές, συνειρμούς και εξωσωματικές εμπειρίες (α αυτό είναι ένα άλλο μεγάλο θέμα που θα σας μιλήσω άλλη φορά).

Είναι απίστευτο το οτι μπορούμε μέσα σε αυτές τις 2 περίπου ώρες που διαρκεί ένα έργο να αλλάζουμε τόσες πολές φορές συναισθήματα και απο λύπη να νιώθουμε χαρά και απο τρόμο και αγωνία να μεταφερόμαστε στην ηρεμία. Να νίωθεις συμπάθεια προς ένα ηθοποιό που είναι στην ταινία αλλά αργότερα την επιθυμία να μπείς μέσα στην οθόνη και να του σπάσεις τον λαιμό (λέμε τώρα).

Δυστυχώς σήμερα ήταν η πρώτη φορά που ανακάλυψα την πραγματική αξία των ταινιών και η πρώτη φορά που αφέθεικα στην μαγεία του cinema όταν αντίκρισα την υπερδύναμη που ονομάζεται μεγάλη οθόνη.
Μπορεί να είμαι λίγο υπερβολική και να ακούγονται όλα επιστημονικά αλλά τι θέλετε να κάνω? αυτή είναι η ζωή μου ΄΄περίπλοκη’.

Περνώντας σχεδόν όλη μου την μέρα μέσα στο σπίτι και καθώντας δίπλα στο παράθυρο μου παρακαλώντας να σταματήσει η βροχή, ήταν ένα αποτελειωτικό σημείο για την ψυχική μου αποκατάσταση. Πιο συγκεκριμένα πρός το απόγευμα τα παράτησα όλα, έκλεισα τις κουρτίνες και το πήρα απόφαση.

Εκείνη την στιγμή είμουνα έτοιμη να δράσω σαν Hamlet λέγοντας τα διάσημα του λόγια και να ενσωματωθώ σ’ένα απο τους πιο δραματικούς ρόλους του William Shakespeare, όταν σαν Ophelia εφανίστηκε μπροστά μου το booklet του cinema.
Aυτό ήταν, άφησα τα πάντα πίσω μου νεκρά και παίρνοντας την τσάντα μου έβαλα μπρός χωρίς δεύτερη σκέψη για την επόμενη μου περιπέτεια.

Aure Entuluva

The Hobbit: After three Lord of the Rings movies, two Hobbit movies will follow in 2011 and 2012.

Plot:
Local Shire Hobbit Bilbo Baggins, Uncle of Frodo Baggins, is living a quiet, peaceful life until Gandalf the Grey knocks on his door. A band of wandering dwarves shows up one or two at a time, the goal, to hire poor Bilbo for a quest that entails defeating a dragon and recovering (burgling) a treasure.

Along the way there are adventures with Trolls and elves, a battle with Goblins, the naming of Bilbo's sword as Sting after, a battle with some spiders and a barrel ride in a river.

There is a great battle The Battle of Five Armies which includes men, dwarfs, elves, goblins, and more. Most importantly of all, part of this story leads Bilbo into Riddles in the Dark where he meets Gollum and in the process acquires a peculiar ring that has had and will have a great impact on the future of their world.

PS. James McAvoy is under consideration to play Bilbo in the Hobbit. I would like to see again Ian Holme as a Bilbo as he did an incredible job but obviously he's a little old to play a young Bilbo

Coco Avant Chanel

The young Gabrielle Chanel is the illegitimate daughter of a travelling salesman who learns to sew in a Catholic orphanage. She earns the nickname 'Coco' at a cabaret club where she is following her singing ambitions and it is also where she catches the eye of several high society gentlemen who would ignite her passion and become instrumental in the development of her remarkable career.

After months of hype, the trailer of the biopic about Coco Chanel's early years, Coco Avant Chanel, has finally arrived. The preview is all in French with no subtitles since the film opens in France on April 22, before its U.S. debut, but that is no reason not to watch.

We've retained, well, practically none of the French we learned at school, but from this trailer we can deduce that the film includes love, sex, wild parties, fighting, spectacular cinematography, and lovely costumes which Karl Lagerfeld oversaw.

Dont miss it

My departure to “Dream of Reality”

20th of March: I woke up very early again, at 5:45am and as I was reading Muse (the fashion magazine) and eating chocolate croissants I had the perfect idea.

“To travel to Sheffield where Meadowhall is and spend my whole day in a shopping centre”.

It’s about 1:45 hours trip and I had to change trains in Doncaster. There were lots of people on the train something that I didn’t like.
I hate it when I am stuck in a room with lots of people and because a train is like a room and you can’t get out of it when it’s moving I felt kind of scared. So I sat next to an old lady and I didn’t move.

But then, something magical happened. There was an announcement from the train driver:

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I do apologise for the delay to your service. I know you're all dying to get home, unless, of course, you happen to be married to my ex-wife, in which case you'll want to cross over to Doncaster and go in the opposite direction".

I am just joking...Well he said “This train's final destination is Manchester airport”

Aaaaaaa I couldn’t believe it. My thoughts now became more active and I formed in my imagination a thousand pictures of my family and Cyprus. I had the chance to stop in Manchester airport and go back to Cyprus.

As I was dreaming the train doors opened. Unfortunately we had arrived in Doncaster. No no no I wanted to stay in the train, I wanted to go in Manchester airport and then straight to Cyprus, straight to my lovely island. Everything has happened very quickly, I couldn’t decide if I wanted to leave the train or stay in.

Thanks to the beeping noise which was coming from the doors brought me back to reality. Luckily I exited the train before the doors closed.

“Fashion is made to become unfashionable”

My rest trip was more into reality.

Well, I was staring at people (especially women) to critique their clothes.

It’s so amazing because the way we dress has an impact on how we are viewed upon or categorized in society. Whether we are at work, school, the mall, we are judged just because of our clothing.
The fact of the matter is clothing plays a key role in how we live our lives in many ways and in how we will be portrayed or even treated. Everything we put on sends a message.

I was very surprised to see that the best dressed women were sitting in first class. They were mid 40’s and older than 50 years old. Most of them looked very similar with black mid heels, black handbag and black skirt. For goodness sake! Black is an essential colour but don’t over-do it.

There are also thousand women out there who try to follow the catwalk trends or become Kate Moss and Victoria Beckman. The harder you try the harder it gets. We need to relax, go out to shops and have fun.

For example if wearing a big jacket because it’s a fashion trend and makes one feel uncomfortable and insecure, the personality becomes just as bad as the jacket. Just by what you wear and how you carry yourself, it's amazing how people make their assumptions on how a person is feeling.

Coco Chanel once said “Fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening”

I believe that a woman is not sexy because she follows the fashion. She is sexy because of how she feels about her femininity and because she knows how to draw others’ focus to what is beautiful about herself.


Before I left the train I have come to the frightening conclusion that:
1. Lots of people don't care how they look like
2. Don't own mirrors and
3. It’s a nation of slobs



As for the rest of my day was fashionably insane and thanks to Mother’s day there were plenty of sales.
