The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Well, we all know who Robert Galbraith really is now and let’s not pretend that I didn’t buy this book because of the real writer behind the pseudonym – J.K. Rowling. I love this woman and admire her greatly and so I decided to pick up my first ever crime fiction book after a very long time.
Happy 2014! It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on this blog. I shall just admit my laziness and leave it at that.
Anywho, the first movie of 2014 that this girl who never sleeps (not really, I sleep, I do) watched is… The Legend of Hercules. Not much of a surprise or a suspense there since I had the poster up above before I even began the post.
It’s been a while that I actually posted anything on this blog and I’m so sorry for my unplanned hiatus. I do have a reason obviously. Market research industry at this time is pretty busy. But that’s not the point of this post. I am back with a review of a much anticipated sequel to a successful first movie of The Hunger Games franchise, Catching Fire.
I’m currently listening to the soundtrack of the movie just to bring back all the feels I felt while watching the movie. I am trying not to keyboard smash all over this entire review of mine. I am trying to keep myself sane and not fangirl but it is very very hard.
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I saw this book in the bookstore and I immediately picked it up because, if you’re a fangirl and you don’t pick up a book called “Fangirl”, you’d be an idiot. I would like to think I’m not and so I did just that. I picked up and read the first 10 pages of the book and immediately fell in love with it.
The Enchantress Returns by Chris Colfer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Judging from the book cover, “The Land of Stories: The Enchantress Returns” by Chris Colfer, it seems to be a children’s book and I guess it could be a children’s book, since it is about fairy tales. But the maturity in some of the dialogues would put it in the category of, at least, a young adult book. A six-year-old kid would not understand the meaning behind some of the dialogues in the book. I mean, they would because the words used are simple enough to understand but the meaning behind the words would not reach a young kid until they are old enough to get it.
The latest episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D is, in my opinion, the best yet so far. It was funny and witty with a touch of bad-assness. What’s not to like about it?
I spent the entire time watching the latest episode of S.H.I.E.L.D wondering the name of the guest star of the episode because he looked so familiar. Finally, after Googling (oh, Google, what would I do without you?), it’s Professor Quirrell! I can now have a peace of mind.
It’s time we said goodbye to one of the characters and the actors of the show, Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) and Glee did a brilliant job in honoring the character and the actor. It was beautifully and respectfully written, which made it easy for the cast, crew and the fans to say goodbye to a friend, a brother, a person you grew up watching for four years and an idol to many.
I don’t know how to write this review because all I did was cry from beginning till end. From the moment the former Glee clubbers came out on stage to join in the singing of “Seasons of Love”, tears just ran down my face and it didn’t stop. This is the cast and crew’s way to help us all deal with the sudden death of an actor who did nothing but be the best person he could be by bringing happiness and joy to others around him.
After the pretty awesome last episode of Glee, the show continues with its Beatles theme with a special guest appearance by Demi Lovato.
I missed my review for the pilot of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D but I certainly would not want to miss writing my thoughts on the second episode of this new Marvel TV show. But my briefest thought on the pilot was a bit “meh”. I wasn’t really impressed by the casting with the exception of Clark Gregg obviously reprising his role as Agent Coulson. But this latest episode is better than the pilot.
