Titanic 3D an Experience You Do Not Want To Miss: Titanic 3D Review

If you know me personally, then you know how obsessed I am over Titanic. Not just the movie, but the Titanic itself. I’ve watched every movie about the Titanic, I know so much about the ship, and you’d think I work as a historian for Titanic. The reasoning for the attachment is---my great grandmother held a third class ticket on Titanic. Fortunately, she missed the boat when it left Ireland. Every time I watch any version pertaining to Titanic, I always think to myself what would have happened  had she made that trip. Would she have survived?

            Out of all the movies that have covered Titanic, my most favorite is---well obviously James Cameron’s version. Cameron paid deep attention to every detail from the era, and casted each and every role with an exact look a likes to people they were portraying.  Furthermore, he had portrayed the sinking as it were really happened, from the time it struck the iceberg, to when the band stop playing, and when Titanic finally went down to her ice watery grave. Even according to some of Titanic’s few remaining survivors who were still alive in 1997 had said that Cameron’s version was closes to the exact thing that happened on April 14^th 1912. The 100 year anniversary of Titanic’s sinking is upon, and along with the recent uprising in 3D. Titanic is being re-released on the big screen---Titanic in 3D.

            Titanic in 3D, you experience the movie on a whole other level. The story virtually comes to life right in front of you, and you feel as if you are walking along Titanic’s decks, or taking a walk down her elegant grand staircase. Titanic in 3D becomes most spellbinding when it’s in the moments of the sinking---the 3D puts you in it. Myself, along with several other audience members said they were overwhelmed with great emotion. Everything you know about Titanic---the personal passenger stories of their hopes and dreams---the excitement and anticipation about Titanic---and all the loss---you feel 10 times more. 

If you loved Titanic when it was first releases in 1997, you will fall in love with it again in 3D.  Out of any movie I had seen in 3D prior to Titanic was just merely preparing me for this one. Take the journey and experience The Ship of Dreams one more time on the big screen. You can revisit Titanic April 6^th.

Remembering the Legendary Whitney Houston

Like everyone else, I was in complete shock of hearing about the passing of iconic singer Whitney Houston. I found out of her untimely passing via twitter, I had just got out from seeing The Vow. I started my car, while it was warming up; I was flipping through my tweets. Honestly, I thought it was just another one of those twitter death hoaxes that seemed to emerge on the site way too many times, but sadly this time it was not a hoax. Whitney’s death is such a tragic lost to the musical word, to her family and friends, as well as to her fans.                                      

I grew up listening to her music; my mom was a huge fan of hers. I always used to sing along to “All at Once,” dancing idiotically around my bedroom to “How Will I Know,” and “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” and even “So emotional.” However my greatest memory of Whitney’s music come from when I was in high school, I got to perform in a solo performance in choir her 1986 hit “Greatest Love of All”. That particular song has such a powerful meaning in itself.    

Houston also starred in a couple of movies, “The Body Guard,” and my favorite, “Waiting to Exhale.” With the news of her death still streaming the web, everyone is still trying to process it. To us fans it still seems unreal, and I cannot to begin to fathom what her family and friends are going through right not. In this time of sorrow, I offer my most sympathetic thoughts to Whitney’s family and friends, the world has truly lost a legend.

The Woman in Black: Review

When I first saw the trailer for The Woman in Black, I instantly wanted to see it. It caught my attention solely because it was starring Daniel Radcliffe whom we all recognize from the Harry Potter franchise. Since this movie is post Harry Potter, I figured it would be an interesting twist to see how this young actor switched from child star to adult. Nevertheless Radcliffe successfully shredded himself from his child star image in this suspense horror film.

            The Woman in Black script is written by Jane Goldman, who leaves a lot of the movies material up to the audience’s imagination, which I was very skeptical of this approach at first. However, Radcliffe proved his acting skills despite the fact he’s never studied acting before his Harry Potter days. Some people are just born with it, and Daniel Radcliffe proved he has the natural talent of acting. His body language and actions help speak about the story of a man who is being tormented by a vengeful spirit.

            Daniel Radcliffe stars as the young attorney Arthur Kipps. Kipps is summoned to Crythin Gifford, a small market town on the east coast of the United Kingdom to go over paper work that requires legal action. He is given the case and is told that he must use this case to prove his worth to the agency.  The house he must go to is on Nine Lives Causeway and at high tide is completely cut off from the mainland with only the surrounding marshes and sea frets for company. On his first day there, he sees that the town folks are less than welcoming, some of them seem even a bit fearful of Kipss arrival. It is not long until he discovers why.

            His first trip to the house, he hears strange noises, however he doesn’t make much of it. When he looks out the window, he sees a woman in black standing in the yard. When he goes back to town for the night, while talking to a constable, a child comes in and dies in his arms. The area town folks learn of this news, and order Kipps to leave, but he refuses. On his second day, he learns of the myth of a woman in black is seen and a child dies.

            I very much liked this movie, despite the predictable scenes that make the viewer’s jump. The Woman in Black is an adaptation Susan Hill's 1983 novel, it is rated PG-13 for thematic material and violence, disturbing images, the running time: 95 minutes. In his first starring role after Harry Potter, Radcliffe has officially marketed himself as a very versatile actor. I give this four out of five stars.
