Train to Trieste by Domnica Radulescu
This was perhaps one of the most touching stories that I had ever read. The sensorial language and the artistry in which the words are woven to tell the tale of Mona, connected me greatly with the character. I felt her love, passion, and anguish throughout the story. I have to say that for a debutante writer, Dominica Radulescu, created a magnificent story. I felt a great connection to her, as if she was speaking to me, almost in a luring way. Enchanting and beautiful, but at the same time chaotic and strong, Mona was a girl that I could envision and almost touch as if she were real. Fantastic in every way, I just simply loved it.

Breaking Dawn
I have been a true fan since the book came out in 2005, and followed Bella's story as if she were a part of me; I also have fallen for Edward over and over again. The last book in Stephenie Meyer's #1 Bestselling saga about a normal girl falling in love with the beautiful and utterly perfect Edward-who happens to be a vampire-has captivated the hearts of millions of women and men. I personally awaited for the release of this book since last year and have been glued to hisgoldeneyes.com for a long time. Needless to say that when I got my book on August 2, I was as happy as a little kid in Disney Land and consequently read the book in two days.
Now the interesting part comes, to my surprise unlike the last books in the series such as New Moon and Eclipse, this book was not as easily liked by some people more perhaps than when New Moon came out. Why is it that you my dear reader may ask? Because of the rather strange twists that Stephenie wrote. To my disbelief of my extensive knowledge of vampires ( Yes, I was into the whole vampire thing for a while and read everything there is about them including the many books out there dedicated to the mythical creatures of the night), I didn't know that they could reproduce...........comes the shocking secret that Bella has a baby with Edward. WOW, now that blew me away! The next thing was the whole imprinting on the baby-Renesme- by Jacob. Two major things that I so did not expect, and the whole stand against the Volturi fight (not really). Overall, the book brought a happy ending, too much of a happy ending for some, but it was a resolution for the story that we all love. I actually enjoyed the book for the most part, but I recommend rereading it again. Major Kudos from me!

The Secret Life of Bees
The book finally came to life!!!! Since I read the book The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, I fell in love with a story about trying to find love in a world that is still divided by boundaries of every kind. The story perhaps is so compelling because it is told through the eyes of Lily, a young girl who wants to find more about the life of her diseased mother. This is a touching story about acceptance of every kind. I can't wait to see it!
Sypnosis:"The Secret Life of Bees," based on the New York Times best selling novel and set in South Carolina in 1964, is the moving tale of Lily Owens (Fanning) a 14 year-old girl who is haunted by the memory of her late mother (Burton). To escape her lonely life and troubled relationship with her father (Bettany), Lily flees with Rosaleen (Hudson), her caregiver and only friend, to a South Carolina town that holds the secret to her mother's past. Taken in by the intelligent and independent Boatwright sisters (Latifah, Okonedo and Keys), Lily finds solace in their mesmerizing world of beekeeping.

Watchmen trailer
I have to say this only once....WOW. I didn't realise that there was a Watchmen comic to begin with so I was astounded when I first watched this trailer a while ago. It is apparently the only award comic book EVER. This is probably because its plot and characters are well layered with so much depth that it could pass as a book but it has the advantage of having artwork attached to itself. The cast seems fantastic and just fit well with the description given in the comic book, but also this isn't just another Marvel superhero for the heroes in the comic book, and soon to be movie, are so FLAWED that they seem human. A must watch for March 2009. PRAISE FOR WATCHMEN

Knowing trailer
So what do you guys think? I hope the thriller is worth it because to me it has been a long time since I have watched a trailer about the end of the world in number sequence. Still I like Nicolas Cage's movies

How To Be
Sypnosis:"A wry comedy about ART, a frustrated musician, who is undergoing what he sees as a quarter life crisis. This is not helped when his girlfriend dumps him and he has to move back in with his middle class parents — who are far from thrilled with the idea.
Art’s only friend, agoraphobic RONNY, has his own problems. Holed up in a London flat in a daze of nitrous oxide and electro music, Ronny wants to start a band with Art and happy-go-lucky friend NIKKI, but only if it involves going no further afield than the flat’s roof garden. Art discovers self-help guru, DR LEVI ELLINGTON, author of It’s Not Your Fault. Using inheritance money, Art pays for Dr Ellington to move in with him and his parents, becoming Art’s full-time life coach and shadowing him wherever he goes.
Art’s painfully funny journey to define his existence brings to the fore the dysfunctional relationship he has with his parents and the importance in his life of his oddball friends. Rich in detail and dark yet affectionate humour, How To Be is a timely look at the increasingly common phenomena of grown-up children living at home, frustrated creativity and self-help" How to Be movie.com.

Terminator Salvation
OMG..........that's my beginning impression on the new teaser trailer of the new movie Terminator Salvation starring CHRISTIAN BALE!!!! (I love him) So yeah, I think he can pull off a last Terminator movie without our governator *cough* Arnold Schwarzenegger. WHAT DO YOU THINK?? Is it worth it going to watch this? Or a waste of time?
