Movie Review

Drag me to hell was one of the worst American horror films of 2009. I give 5 stars to the amazingly decieving trailer though. The movie wasnt scarey at all. It was rather more comidic. Rated PG-13 running for an hour and 39 min the film was subjected to the Mystery and Suspense, horror genre. I found myself laughing more than I was afraid. Possibly if the cast was more well known it would have been better. However the movie bring in 90.8 million dollars world wide, probably from its decieving trailer. Direceted by Sam Raimi, the film lost the true title of a horror film. Writters Ivan Raimi and Sam Raimi had a good story line.
Suprisingly Scary Movie 4 being a sequal and part of a series was a great film. It gave a fresh and modern twist to the previous films. It kept the same story line and main characters from the previous films, throwing in young popular actors. This movie brought back the suspense of a true scary movie. Rated R running for an hour and 50 min this film is accuratly placed in the Mystery and suspense, horrow genre. The movie made 38.1 million throughout the states. Director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson make a great team. Scream 4 was the best movie out of its series.

3 city travel

Starting my vacation off in the city that never sleeps, New York,New York, I stayed in the gorgeous Milford Paza. To my convience the hotel was located in the theater district, within 2 blocks of Times Square. With rates starting at $129, I was able to be a true tourist. I made sure to see Catch Me if You Can on broadway since im such a big fan of the movie. After that we jetted to make our 8:00 reservations at Nobu. I splurged $42 on a dinner plate called the King Krab Tempura. I love seafood and it was well worth the price. My friend Tiffany ordered the Chilean Sea Bass with Black Bean Sauce for $36. Of corse we swapped plates and raved over such delicious food. Ending a nice day off back in our hotel we got ready for our morning flight to Miami Florida.

After checking into the lovely four seasons hotel I realized that I didnt even need to leave the hotel. To start my day off I signed up for a signature treatment at their spa called the "Total Relaxation Programme" For $468 in 280 minute I was totally relaxed. The treatment began with a welcoming herbal tea, foot treatment and de-stress facial. i got a full-body scrub, inner journey massage, a rose body wrap and to top it all off a spa lunch. I was litterally glowing. Feeling great i decided to try something new. I called up the Miami Seaquarium and before I knew it I was swimming with the dolphins. The program was called Dolphin Odyssey. First I learned about magnificent marine mammals in an interactive classroom presentation. Then I was suited up in a wetsuit for my fun filled, deep water interaction with a dolphin. I have was able to kiss, hug, dance, rub and get up-close and personal with the dolphins. I even rode a dolphin across the pool. Returning to my hotel to prepare myself for Miami's night life with Tiffany. We went club hopping from club Space, to club Fame and Dream.

While I was in California, I stayed in the Ritz-Carlton hotel. It was beautiful and very 21st century. For my morning i did typical tourist things. I went on a TMZ tour bus ride passing ceberaty hot spots and homes. I even walked the holloywood walk of fame. Snooki from Jersey Shore was there! Around dusk I drifted to the Santa Monica Pier. It was so pretty. I stayed for a while then had dinner at Beso. Beso is this new resturant that Eva Longoria Parker and celeb chef Todd English opened up. Overall my three location travel trip was amazing. I think every year I will pick 3 different locations and do the samething.

Punto Rojo

Punto Rojo

Date of Review: May 24

This Colombian bakery and restaurant serves great food at an affordable price. They have an amazing entree called "Poor Dish". Despite the name, this native dish that includes so much for just $8.95. For that price you receive a grilled steak, two eggs, beans, rice with a ripe plantain. To top off that meal, I'd wash it down with "the Goddess Of Love". Banana, honey, milk and eggs make this delicious sweet mix.

The service is very family like and friendly just as the ambiance. You can find all types of people dinning from families, teenage groups of friends, and cooperate America settling down in a relaxing enviorment. Punto Rojo is highly recommended.

Judgement Day

May 21st has alot of people concerned. Some people believe that the end of the world and that God will come and make his decisions. I do believe that will happen one day, just not this week. In the bible it says no ONE will know. I just wonder what they'll come up with when its May 22nd and nothing happened. Since the date of judgement day isnt in the bible I dont know how they came up with it. The Mayan calander has nothing to do with christainity. And what happened to the world ending in 2012, its still 2011. SO in my eyes this is all a load of bull crap. People are just making up and changing the date of when the world will end when they should be celevrating and living life. Instead of worrying about things they don't know about or cant control.

Eyebrow threading

Yesterday for the first time ever I got my eyebrows threaded. Now if you dont know what that is, its when pure, thin, twisted cotton thread is rolled over untidy hairlines, like moustaches, eyebrows and other areas of unwanted hair, plucking the hair at the follicle level. It had to be the most painful experience of my life by far. I had never felt a pain like that. As a female im very picky about my eyebrows. I like the done a certain way and by a certain person. But yesterday was different. I made an exception to get them done at a local place near the school. I had heard they were really good and since the place I would orginally go to get them waxed would be closed by the time I got there, I decided to test them out. Not only did it hurt like a female dog, the service was awful. I was tight for the rest of the day. Never again will i try that .. . NEVER again.

The public eye is attracted to Amber for her unique looks and intresting stlye, shes very eye catching and the coupld was a great pair. Sources say the coulpe broke up because Kanye is focussing on music recording his come back record in Hawaii. That same sources also says tht the couple is always off and on when its convenient for them, they believe its not over.  But Perez Hilton recently spotted Amber with Kim Kardasians ex boyfriend Reggie Bush. Amber also recently signed a confidently agreement with Kanye. He's pretty much paying her seven figure just to keep her mouth closed about there relationsip and his personal life. Thats alot of money just to keep some secrets.
