Harry Potter – a history
My journey in this magical world started in 2002….back then, being at the Uni I focused more on watching a lot of movies, instead of studying – we had the exam period for that, don’t you throw your rocks oh yee who studied during the semester…and that’s when I saw the first Harry Potter movie [...]

At the movies
Yes, I love movies…big deal. I spent many hours watching great, not so great, awful movies, some more than once, and all this lead to my not-so-extensive-like-Nana’s-movie-knowledge, but still nothing to sneeze at movie culture. Whenever I get together with Nana it leads to watching/talking about movies. *Soft music playing in the background to accompany [...]

Lots of music and green in London
As mentioned in the previous post, last weekend was spent in the vicinity of the Queen. That’s right, a glorious weekend in London. All was prepared – plane ticket (bought a month in advance to avoid the sky high prices), money – strange thing about London, you need LOTS of it, even for food…weird! and [...]

Sandra and Liz Gilbert
Well, there….I’ve done it. I caved in…peer pressure be damned Usually I’m not one to read/watch what other people tell me – I have Nana to thank for this “oh, you must watch this movie, it’s great”…so I watch it…”oh for crying out loud, I spent 2 hours of my life to watch THIS?”…heck, it [...]

My top 5 favorite travel blogs
I know that most people don’t know this about me, but I love to read In today’s society this comes as an oddity (at least in my country – you should see the stares I get on the bus if I read something) but frankly, I don’t give a damn. The things I like to [...]

Hungarian adventure – the end
Well, like all good things, my adventure has reached its end. Do I feel sad? A little. But I don’t know if I could have stayed any longer, it seems I’ve reached a certain limit. I’m glad to go home, to see Mom and Dad, to eat amazing food cooked by Mom, and me sometimes, [...]

I need the drama
Yes. I need the drama. There. I said it. Why on Earth would I need drama? Well you see, I have the ability (let’s name it a superpower for a moment) to get bored easily. I mean it takes a couple of minutes, tops. So I need drama to keep me moving. OK, not all [...]

No more vampires and royal weddings
Lately there have been 2 themes that annoyed me to no end: vampires and the upcoming royal wedding. The only common denominator is that both themes have immense media coverage. It appears that vampires (bless their undying hearts, when not stabbed with a wooden stake) get more than their share of TV time. It started [...]

Simon Beckett series
I love books! I know. Shocking. In a world overrun by technology, where books are replaced by TV and computers. I’ve dedicated some blog entries to books, this time it won’t be any different. I came in contact with the work of Simon Beckett while I was in Germany. Whenever I travel abroad, I buy [...]

Entertainment week with the parents
Wow, another week has passed. I am falling behind with my writing, but I have legitimate reasons (don’t I always )…After the Oscars passed and I did my little celebration dance, I was off to work, ready for the 12 hour “labor” that was thrown my way. All was fine until around 5 pm when [...]

And the Oscar goes to…
As any normal human being, when you feel tired, you sleep, right? Right? Well, normalcy is highly overrated So here we are, it’s 3 am, and I’m in front of the TV and computer, ready to share with the world who are the lucky winners today. The focus is on the Kodak Theatre in LA, [...]

Oscar double feature – The King’s speech and Toy Story 3
Since it’s almost a week (just) until the Oscars, todays post features 2 movies. The Kings Speech left me…speechless. It was one of those movies that got me hooked from the first scene. The idea was simple – the Duke of York (Colin Firth) has a speech impediment that has deep roots (We find later [...]

Nina’s swan song
I got to finally see Black Swan, to see what all the commotion was about, as part of my promise to see all Oscar-nominated movies. First of all I like Natalie Portman, and besides thinking that she’s a great actress, I also think she’s freaking HOT (hear that Keira Knightley fans? this is gorgeous – [...]

Inception – what’s real and what’s not
One candidate for the Best Motion Picture category at the Annual Academy Awards is Inception, it was also my first choice in the plan to keep my promise . Before I set out to watch it, I’ve heard shared opinions about it, but they fell into 2 categories: those who loved it and those who [...]

Oscars (83) and a promise
The countdown has started. No, it’s not a missile launch, or rather not a NASA type missile anyway. The time has come, and the world is buzzing with excitement – the nominations for the 83rd edition of the Annual Academy Awards (or the Oscars to us non educated in the field of movie production, except [...]

The Nutcracker
I must admit I’ve heard about The Nutcracker many times but have no idea what it’s about. I knew that it was a ballet show by Tchaikovsky but that was the extend of my knowledge. That is until I saw the trailer for the new movie The Nutcracker in 3D, which I have a feeling [...]

Compared media – book vs movie
I’ve been toying with this idea for a long time now, but never got around to do it (lame excuse, but what can I do). So I’ve decided to tackle this project once and for all – I will watch a movie, read the book and compare. I know that the general rule is books [...]

The perfect wedding entrance
Now, I’m not a big fan of wedding (except of my own I guess, but I will not hold my breath)…all the commotion, the bride is the center of everything (the groom is there so there’s a pair in the picture ), all the guests, the complaints and so on. And while I try to [...]

Celebration of life in Budapest
A while ago, when I found out that Cirque du Soleil would perform their show “Saltimbanco” in Budapest, I vowed that I’ll be there to see them live. So last Tuesday found me at the airport, after my class with the fine students from the English section, eagerly waiting for my flight to my second [...]
