How to Live Your Life

I'm super excited about this post.

Last night, a cute cute friend invited me and another friend over for a dinner + movie night. After having a healthy meal, we sat on her cozy couch to watch a french movie. I love international movies, but last night, I just did not feel like reading all these subtitles! But let me tell you, it was worth 100 times. 

" Intouchables"

It is already in my top 10 favorites. I felt so many emotions while watching it, its ridiculous. Of course I loved it because it was also based on a true story, and as I mentioned before, I have a thing for those kind of films.

It is about a black man from the ghettos of Paris applying for a job just to get welfare payments. The job he applies is for care-taking of a neck-to-toe paralyzed man. The movie starts when he gets hired and how he changes both their life by not pitying Phillipe ( paralyzed man) and helping him to live his life.

It's a comedy- drama, just how I like it. I laughed so much watching it, I cried. And of course I also cried because how touching it was ( hahaha like always!).

I don't care what you have to do, but find a way to watch it! It is still in the theaters in some countries. If not, download it, buy it, rent it or do something else, but WATCH IT. It is beautiful.

And here is a picture of the real people that the movie is based on! 

Abdel Sellou & Philippe Pozzo di Borgo 

Enjoy and let me know how you like it!

Anything for Music

Don't hate me! I have an excuse for my long absence.

I had my finals and of course I was stuck at home with my Redbull's and trashy food. But since I am done, I am BACK! Hurray!

I have a great movie suggestion for y'all, and I'm pretty sure you have not heard about it.

"For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story"

I have seen this a while ago on T.V in Turkey. I don't think you have seen it, because, it was a TV movie. It never aired in the theaters! Such a bummer because I really enjoyed watching it. I have a passion for movies that are based on true stories. I really get into it and get influenced by it. 

Arturo Sandoval is a trumpet player from Cuba. It shows his great love for jazz and his family. The movie is up until they defect to the U.S. Given the fact that Andy Garcia is also from Cuba, makes it all more real. I think that is a great reason he really fitted in the role.

Arturo Sandoval himself & Andy Garcia

Just a pre-warning, the trailer seems very cheesy. What did you expect? Its a HBO film, they like to make it look like that. But I hope by now I got your trust in my taste, and you will like it.

Hope you will enjoy it!

How far would you go?

Past 2 days were literally crazy. 

Two very important games; Barca vs. Chelsea on tuesday and R. Madrid vs. Bayern Munich on wednesday!

I never mentioned you my love towards Barca.. I am LOCA about it! Since I moved to Spain, I became a huge fan, and a hooligan in some occasions.

"Green Street Hooligans"

Perfect timing to suggest a great movie. On tuesday, I actually went to Camp Nou ( Barca's stadium for those who don't know) to watch the game. When I was on my way there, I saw the Chelsea fans loading their bodies with beer. British people are the pro's of being a hooligan. And this movie is exactly about that.

While watching it, I laughed, cried ( yes, I cried, AGAIN), got super nervous, excited. Experienced all emotions!

It begins with a Harvard student getting expelled and moving to England to live with his sister. That's when he discovers "football" and the great supporters.

It's not a happy movie when the teams always win and the fans are only cheering. But it's about how far they go. You'll see that football is not just a sport you watch to enjoy, but a community that collides people together and creates a rather odd brotherhood.

in my heart, he'll always be FRODO
Let's see if you're a hooligan or not! You'll know after you watch it.

VISCA BARCA

NOT just another Prison Movie

I know I've been very bad with the posts. Since I am back in Barcelona, I had so much things going on; work,work and work ( don't be surprise, I do study!).

I am a girl that enjoys very girly stuffs. Getting a manicure, dress shopping, make-up, colourful things AND crime movies. I don't know if this applies to everyone but for me,  LOVE IT!  I can actually watch one I love couple times a week when I discover it. And this movie is one of them.

"Felon"

The movie starts with a man murdering a intruder that entered his house. But what law says, you can only kill if the man is in your house, and UNfortunately he kills the man in the front lawn. Thats how the movie starts. He goes to jail and tries to not get in trouble so he can get out of there ASAP. But, once you're in, you gotta survive.

Whose side are you on?

Don't forget to check out the trailer!!

Hope you'll like it as much as I did. And please tell me some movies for me to review!
