Mamma Mia!
Sunday, August 31st, 2008 | Book, Film
I can’t believe I haven’t yet posted about Mamma Mia! Over a week ago now I’ve finally found the time to go see it in the cinema. Wow! I felt just like after having seen the musical, simply amazed. I have never laughed so much during a movie while watching it in the cinema nor can I remember the last time a movie lifted my spirits as much! Will definitely be buying the DVD when it comes out!!!
Been reading quite a number of novels recently. Guess I should update the 100 books page… Nothing too spectacular. Most recently, I’ve read the circle trilogy by Nora Roberts. What can I say? The more serious my real life gets, like the more I actually am doing all that I plan to do, the more I need to have some “cheap” entertainment haha. Anyway, the 3rd book is definitely my favourite. Just quickly, the books are about a circle of 6 people who have to fight evil to keep all existing worlds from going under. The sorcerer who needs to find “the witch, the warrior, the scholar, the one of many forms, and the one you’ve lost” - against vampires. Not surprisingly, each book tells the story of a beginning romance - so that in the end the 6 people from the circle are also 3 couples very much in love. Ah, back to the 3rd book. I just love when “dark” men fall in love with “innocent” women. Especially if it’s told in the right way, which it was IMO in this instance. And I liked how Moira wasn’t that innocent after all. Blah, blah, blah. I can just hear my mom saying how unhealthy it is to read romance novels now. And I guess she’s right. But at least once again I had a really good time reading them.
Apparently, ages ago I had put The Thorn Birds on my rental queue. The first DVD with parts 1&2 has arrived now. However, after having watched part 1 I can’t say I’m exactly looking forward to watching the rest. There’s so much I kind of dislike about some of the story elements and the way the series was filmed. I’m just so not a fan of period dramas filmed in the 80s. Anyone seen the whole piece?
