It's a very difficult era in which to be a person

Posted by Carla Boyd on Tuesday, June 10, 2014, In : Movies 

I read a book recently called Gone Girl. Actually found out after I finished reading it that they're making it into a movie and I'm quite excited to watch it. It's a book about a man whose wife goes missing and he gets suspected of murdering her. The book comes in three parts, explaining different phases of before, during, and after. I won't go into more details because I feel that would ruin it and I'm pleased to see that the trailer avoids any spoilers as well. I find nothing worse than a m...

Every inch of me will perish. Every inch but one.

Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us, but within that inch, we are free. - V for Vendetta


 As it turns out, already the last in the series! I do hope that those who actually got around to read these blogs maybe got some ideas for films they haven't seen, or maybe just remembered some films they haven't seen in a while. I love movies. They give me hope, strength, happiness, inspiration, ideas,... I like the films that are thought provok...

The end is only the beginning

It has been said that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly's wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world. - The Butterfly Effect
 
 So I realised as I was getting the blogs out for today, that I didn't make a list of 100 but a list of 50 movies! Yes, I know, I'm a genius. XD This means, we're already nearing the end. Here is n to t (which more t's to follow). 

As always, comment away! =)

Not all who wander are aimless. Especially not those who seek truth beyond tradition, beyond definition, beyond the image - Mona Lisa Smile
 
While finding the pictures for today's list of 10 - namely i to n (although the next one starts with the last of the 'n's) - I realised that there are 3 Julia Roberts movies on the list. And people wonder why she's one of my favourite actresses. ^_^  

Anyway, as always comment, share views, add to the list, etc. =)

Blessed are the forgetful: for they get the better even of their blunders

Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy. Maybe it was the 60's. Or maybe I was just a girl... interrupted. - Girl, Interupted

Right, it's past midnight, I'm still up, so I figured I may as well post the next 10 films! Here's D to H on my list of top 100 movies of all time! Oh, and the quote in this blog's title is from Nietzsche. Not having anyone get ...

The movies that are to blame for all the lies

Posted by Carla Boyd on Thursday, October 18, 2012, In : Movies 
It’s these cards, and the movies and the pop songs, they’re to blame for all the lies and the heartache, everything. (...) People should be able to say how they feel, how they really feel, not, you know, some words that some stranger put in their mouth. Words like love, that don’t mean anything. - (500) Days of Summer

Well, I've been abandoning my blog for a while but I finally had an idea that will keep this site busy... at least for the next week and a half! I'm going to share with you...
