During the fifteen year that I have lived, I had never cried in a movie. Never, ever, ever, ever. EVER. I've seen movies where everybody cries, but I never did. Until today. I didn't cried my ass off, but I shed tears.
The story, by itself, is pretty sad. Kate (played by the bald Sofia Vassilieva) is diagnosed with leukemia still as a child. As her brother (Evan Ellingson) didn't match her, Kate's parents decided to have an in vitro child that matched perfectly with Kate. After lots of medical procedures, Anna (Kate's in vitro sister, played by Abigail Breslin) decide that she should be the one who's taking care of her own body. That's were the biggest problem (as if they didn't had enough) begins. If Kate doesn't get a kidney, she'll die. And Anna is the only one who can donate it. The story develops after that, with a lot of flashbacks telling the whole story of the family.
Every single part of it is sad. I could hear everybody crying during the movie. I mean, everybody. I just cried after Anna asks Kate where will she go after her death. It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO heartbreaking T.T
I like dramas, but not this kind. It's too sad.
If you wanna know the end, go watch it. I'm not gonna tell. All I can say is: Abigail Breslin has a brilliant future in the movie industry ;)

The Ugly Truth
For brazilian readers: A Verdade Nua e Crua.
Honestly, romantic comedy isn't really my favorite kind of movie. Usually, they're all full of cliches: cute couple that don't like each other, stupid jokes.... But in this one, the story caught my eye. There was no perfect man. That's a good thing. It mean that the romantic comedies are evolving. Finally.
Well, even with the cliches, it's entertaining, it's fun, it's romantic comedy.
I like Katherine Heigl (I think it's because of Grey's Anatomy), so I liked her character. Gerard Butler is kinda nice too, and they make a great couple.
During the first half hour, nearly no cliches. After that, things like the fighting between the main couple happened. I hate those fights. Why can't they just get along? Well, if they did, there would be no movie.
So, if you like romantic comedies, where the guy gets the girl and they live happily ever after, go watch it. If you don't like it, give it a chance. Watch the trailer first. If you like it, watch the movie. It's cool =)

House M.D. - 6th season
I've been waiting for the sixth season every since the fifth ended.
I love House. Not just the show, but also the character. Hugh Laurie is the best British guy playing an American guy.
The first episode, which was a 2 hour episode, is pretty different.
First of all, there's no case. There's no patient. House is the patient.
Second: there's no Princeton Plaisboro in the whole episode. No Cuddy, no Cameron, no Chase, no Foreman, no team. That was weird. Very weird. The hospital and the other doctors are a main part of the show, at least to me! I freaked out when he fired all the team in the end of the 3rd season. Imagine me right now!
Anyway, this didn't seemed like another episode. It was more a House movie than a a long episode. I don't know if that was their intention, but that was how it felt to me.
In the psychiatric hospital, he meets lots of cool people: an anorexic guy, a girl who hasn't talked in 10 years, a pretty talkative rapper, a guy who thinks he's a superhero, and many, many others.
As House is House, he goes against the rules, at first. Then he realizes he won't get anywhere with it (that's new o.O).
I wanna see House with Cuddy, so I was very sad to see that he was having an "affair" (I really don't know how to name that relationship, you gotta watch to understand) with a girl who visits a friend in the hospital. She's cute, but I prefer Cuddy ;)
Lot's of things happened, and in the end, he leaves the hospital with his licence to practice medicine. I got a feeling that he's going back to Princeton. It doesn't say anything really specific, so I'm not sure if he's going back.
I can't wait 'til next monday to the following episode!

Fight Club
This movie is simply wonderful.
The script is smart, the directing is brilliant, the actors are amazing...
David Fincher really know how to make a masterpiece.
I was impressed with the flying cameras on "Panic Room", but in his one.... WOW! There's a scene where the camera does a 360ยบ turn through Edward Norton's living room. That is certainly one of the best scene of the movie.
Also the make up. When Edward Noton (The Narrator) beat the crap out of Angel Face (played by Jared Leto), Leto's face gets unrecognizable. The make up did a wonderful job there. If you wannna see it, go to google images. I think there's a picture there.
If you know someone who has already seen the movie, don't ask to know the end. It won't ruin the whole movie(I already knew, my mom told me the end ¬¬), but it will be certainly a lot less fun.
I don't recommend Fight Club for people under 14. I doubt they will understand the end. It's pretty complicated.
One other thing: because of the big revelation in the end, you really need to see it twice. At least.
Enjoy

The first post
Wow, I have a blog now
I guess I should start by introducing myself.
Hello!
My name is Gabriela and I'm 15.
I love movies. In every way.
I wanna get the degree in filmmaking, 'cause it's what I'm passionate about.
I'm here to comment about the movies I see, but not only that. I'll comment on music and on TV shows as well.
As I haven't seen a movie in a while (a week, I think) I won't comment in anything today. Let's make this just the introducing.
If you have a suggestion of a good movie, let me know!
