Music and Movies | That's my type
Archive for the category “Music and Movies”
Since I am working a lot more than usually, I have yet again become addicted to the drug of the masses. It is normal to crave certain types of music on particular days. Today I was blown away by the more serious deep and powerful songs on my playlist. You know, those songs that make you stare into the distance and just zone out, until you snap out of it and just continue working. I just wanted to say thanks to these songs, for making me dream.
1. Yeah yeah yeahs- Runaway
2. The Young Heretics- Lost loves
4. Blue Foundation- Eyes on fire

I heard about the hype around this movie. To be honest, I didn’t expect much. I thought it would be perfect in structural and historical sense. Little did I know…
That this movie would drive me to laughter and tears and complete satisfaction. I have a weakness for the elderly, they don’t even need to be that old, but if older people are struggling with things it really hits me.
This movie was worth every minute because of the following reasons.
Colin Firth’s acting is brilliant. This Movie looks behind the curtains of the royal lifestyle. The time and setting of this movie made me fear a clichéd war theme But that is part of what made it so brilliant. The viewer gets to see what goes on behind the scenes. One has the chance to witness the vulnerability of leaders, as well as their determination, strength and guts.
The theme of equality through friendship within this movie is also presented in a fresh way. The cinematography is brilliant, you can almost feel the struggle within the characters.
This movie influenced me in a way that I want to ask everyone: What is your excuse?
We all have our issues and problems, but at least no one is expecting as to lead a country. We do, however have control of leading our lives and if we don’t achieve our dreams we cannot blame anyone other than ourselves.
This is a must see. Rating 9/10

Die oomblik wat ‘n mens uit die movie uitstap, is daar geen twyfel dat die movie uitstekend is nie.
Sonder dat jy bewus is daarvan versprei die movie en die simboliek daaragter soos ‘n virus deur jou liggaam, en as jy weer in die spieel kyk is jy siek, van binne en buite. Dalk oordryf ek ‘n bietjie- maar almal wat al gely het aan ‘n swak selfbeeld- sal presies verstaan wat ek bedoel.
Die play of verhoogstuk van die movie is deel van elkeen van ons se lewens. Elke mens het ‘n swart en wit swaan, en n mens voel tog ‘n mens het ‘n keuse oor watter een blootgestel word aan die wereld. MAAR NOU wys die movie vir ons dat albei kante met oortuiging oorgedra moet word, maar sodra die donker wakker word sal dit die lig in jou wen.
Alhoewel daar volgens die play vryheid deur die eventual selfmoord kom, is die boodskap nie juis positief nie. Dit laat ‘n mens dink oor die perfeksie van jou eie lewe. Ons almal is dalk nie so hard op onsself soos ballerinas nie, maar speel ons ooit die hoofrol in ons eie lewens?
Die swart swaan in my het vandag ‘n bietjie oorgeneem, die donker is tog meer flirty en aantreklik.

Some of the bands I HAVE to see live
Ek het seker nou een of ander band uitgelos wat ek gewoonlik claim een van my favourites is, maar hierdie bands is wat ek nou voor in die mood is. So as enige iemand ooit vir my ‘n festival wil reel, dan sal ek dit waardeer as dit die line up is. hehehehe

Ek en Niel het Saterdagaand die movie gaan check. Vir ‘n verandering het ons nie eers op Imdb gegaan om te check wat die ratings is nie, maar net gehoop dat dit ‘n goeie movie gaan wees. Ekt op ‘n interview op E! gehoor dat Anne Hathaway baie gewig verloor het omdat sy redelik insecure was oor haar lyf omdat daar baie nudity is in die movie. Wel ek moet se- ek kani help om te fokus op daardie deel nie- sys super baie naked. Hehe, dis seker kewl vir die ouens, maar ek moet se- die movie was nie vir my so goed nie.
Wat wel vir my uitgestaan het, is dat die karakters en storielyn vir ‘n slag redelik oorspronklik was. Vir ‘n slag was daar bietjie gepraat oor ander tipes siektes as die gewone depressie of memory loss- wat movies mos so sad maak. hehe
Gyllenhaal se karakter raak op ‘n besigheidsvlak dalk net bietjie te lucky, en seks vat dalk meer die fokus as ‘n drug, as wat liefde doen. Die movie het sy funny en goeie tye, maar oor die algemeen kan ‘n mens dit maar eerder op Dvd check terwyl jy besig is om iets anders te doen. Ek gee dit 6.5. Hier is ‘n interview met Jake en Anne.
