Halloween Special

Is it that time of the year again?

Of course I love THIS time of the year! And yes, I'm excited about all the candies I'll eat. Better make appointment for the dentist.

"Paranormal Activity"

I am too much of a coward to be able to sit through a horror movie. It doesn't only scare me while I'm watching it, but I am not capable of sleeping with the lights off for a LONG time. When this movie came out, I was in Vancouver for the senior year of my high school. I went to watch with a couple of my friends thinking it was a great idea... Oh god. I was SO SCARED, I feel bad for my roommate that time, that also had to sleep with the lights on for a month. (Thanks to you Andrea for her patience! )

I am recommending you to watch this. Very much. Because it is probably one of the few horror movies that you see almost no blood, and yet scares you until your bones are shaking. The movie was "filmed" with a hand-cam. Which makes it waaaaay more realistic. It's about a woman who thinks she has been cursed by a not-so-nice ghost. And starting to film everything happening in the house where she lives with her boyfriend.

It gives me shivers just thinking about it again! And one last suggestion; DO NOT SEE IT ALONE.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN to you all! Share your costume pictures with me! I'll be very scary this year, and will share the picture on the facebook page! facebook.com/TheAwkwardMonster

Enjoy!

Every Creature Deserves Love

Welcome back to ME.

I've been a bad bad girl by not updating. But I think it's a good way to prove that I'm not a sit-at-home nerd. My break was AHmazing, and now I'm back in Barcelona for my university. 

"Born to be Wild"

The flight from Istanbul to Barcelona is around 3 to 3.20 hours. Its a good amount of time to watch movies, eat and sleep. With my personel screen to choose from, I managed to pick which ever I wanted to see.

I've been in love with animal since I was a baby girl. All of them. When I saw the animal documentary on the selection from the plane, I had to go for it. 

The documentary is 40 minutes long. Short and sweet. It sets in two different locations; Malaysia and Kenya. 2 different stories that has so much things in common; care for animals. The movie starts with an elephant orphanage in Kenya. While I was watching it, it seemed so familiar. Maybe because I HAVE BEEN THERE! I have visited that orphanage when I was volunteer working in Kenya (2009)! And of course I cried when I realized that. The second location in Malaysia is an orphanage for orangutans. Beautiful, clever and funny animals. And I haven't even told you the best part, it is narrated by Morgan Freeman.

Both organizations are run by women. Strong women. DR. Mary Galdikas for orangutan.org
&
Daphne Sheldrick for sheldrickwildlifetrust.org

I know how you guys are. No photo, didn't happen. So here is a picture of me in the elephant orphanage, posing with a baby rhino!

Hope you'll be as touched as I was! It's a documentary that is NOT boring at all. So give it a chance to surprise you.

Gotham City Shall Survive!

Hello, Hello!!

What a great day to finally update my blog. I'm back in Turkey and enjoying every bit of it, though it is way too hot. The best thing to do on a hot day is to either stay home and turn the A/C on or go to the movie's which they turn the A/C to the maximum level. And thats exactly what I did.

"The Dark Knight Rises"

I have been waiting for this movie for a while now. I do enjoy Hero movies, maybe because I always wanted a superpower or to save the world or something. Even though Batman has no superpowers, his good looks cover that up for him.

In Turkey, there are only 2 IMAX theaters and only one is in Istanbul. When my mom started to check for tickets I made her buy the one from there. If I'm going to see it, I prefer doing it the correct way.

I think this was such a great final for the Dark Knight Trilogy. It wrapped up perfectly, covering everything from the original story and expressing it in a very realistic way. Christopher Nolan is THE god of the cinema. He directed it, produced it and wrote it (alongside other writers). He has hand full of movies, but all of them succeeded the top of the charts. 

I don't think I have to tell you what the movie is about, you should be able to guess since its a Batman movie. 

The Cast was incredible; Morgan Freeman, Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Michael Caine, Anne Hathaway, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon- Levitt and more. I suggest you to wach it even though you may not be an super-hero fan. Just go see the actors acting in their full capability.

ENJOY

Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for the losses from the Aurora Shooting. Peace, prayers and blessings.

Kings of the TV

My first review on Television Shows!

Hurray!!

A little update on my busy life; I finished my internship! I had a great one that lasted for a month, and now its time to chillax. Next week I'll be attending a wedding in Madrid, and who knows, maybe I'll even upload a picture of me and my friends for the first time on my blog!

Television Shows. Unfortunately, in our time, it is VERY difficult to find a good one worth spending your time on. You should be happy you found out about this blog, because I have an amazing one that I discovered this year. I hope most of you are already a fan.

"Game of Thrones"

A T.V. series that is based on a book. How grateful I an that they didn't make a movie out of it, but a series. Why? Because this way it lasts longer and I can enjoy it more and more each time! 

It takes place in the Medieval times.How fabulous. Kingdoms, lords, ladies, swords, wine, warriors and their suspiciously good looking hairs. It is a British production so everyone is obviously British. Which makes it even better, because the British accent just makes everything seem more realistic. According to me, the series' about noblety. Families fighting for the throne!

he is so big!

If you haven't heard about it, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING? And if did, but haven't seen it, now it is your chance! Each episode is like a movie, around 50 minutes. But I assure you, you'd wish them to be even longer.

ENJOY

The Glorious 60's

Sometimes I ask myself; how would it be if I lived in the 60's?

Probably nothing crazy would happen. BUT, if i was in UK... I would not be responsable for my acts.

"Pirate Radio"

a.k.a.

"The Boat That Rocked"

If I had to describe this movie in one sentence, that would be; Great acting meets great music. In my opinion, 60's changed the revolution of music. Added a whole new dimension to it! 

Rock n roll, for me, evolved in the UK. I know it was found in The States, but still! The Beatles, Teddy Boy, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, Freddie and the Dreamers, The Who and many many more amazing bands are from United Kingdom.

So why am I talking about music in a movie blog? Because this movie is all about it! It's about a pirate radio station in the middle of the sea, on a boat, forecasting rock n roll music. In those days, it was considered as bad influence on people, so they banned it. Can you believe it? Niether can I. We see only one American here, Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Everyone else is British, since its a movie from Britain. I'm positive you'll know the actors once you see them, but if I tell you their names now, you probably won't recognize.

Reminds you of a famous album cover? I hope so! 

Your laughter is guaranteed. And also singing along. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did. Let me know what you thought about it and which song was your favorite!

ENJOY
