I can't believe this year is coming to an end, I really have high hopes for 2014 but for now I want to make a small list about the best of this year!! · Best Sci Fi Movie: Star Trek Into Darkness · Best Superhero Movie: Iron Man 3 · Best Animated Movie: Frozen · Best Song of the Year: "Let it Go" by Idina Menzel (Frozen) · Best Special Effects: Star Trek Into Darkness · Best CGI Character: Tie between Elsa (Frozen) and Smaug (The Hobbit 2) · Best Cameo: Chris Evans in "Thor: The Dark World" · Best Movie: This is a difficult one, as you all know, I did a list from all movies I've watched with their scores, so here it is: 1. Star Trek Into Darkness (9.5) 2. The Day of the Doctor (9.5) 3. Frozen (9.4) 4. The Desolation of Smaug (9.0) 5. Iron Man 3 (8.7) 6. Thor: The Dark World (8.5) 7. Oblivion (8.0) 8.

The 12th Doctor is here!

Image
Matt Smith has officialy ended being the Doctor...he was great and funny and I'll miss him and while his last episode "The Time of the Doctor" was a little weird but many subplots were solved here (like gaining a reset of his re-generations so he can regenerate thirteen times again) and the second appearance and official first one of Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor!! He appeared very fast at the end showing the fastest and shortest regeneration ever (believe me, it was like just one second), it was intriguing to hear his first words "Kidneys, I've got new kidneys!" but it was even more mysterious and can't-wait-for-next-episode to ask Clara for help because he doesn't know how to fly the Tardis...he looks amazing and I'm looking forward to see more of him but we'll have to wait until autumn of 2014 as they will release the new season that late...so, let's wait... Here's the ending of that short regeneration, obviously, spoilers:

Sherlock's coming soon

Image
Sherlock will be back the first day of the year 2014 after two years of knowing nothing about him...to celebrate this great "return", they released today a mini-episode showing a little bit of the two main protagonist plus more of the police chief Lestrade. I have to wait until the 7th of January as it will be broadcast that date where I'm living, I really hope it's an amazing episode! Here's the mini-episode called "Many Happy Returns":

Merry Christmas!

To anyone who's reading this... I wish you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Let's wish this 2014 is the greatest year ever and the light shines stronger than ever and the darkness in the planet disappears forever and ever!

The Desolation of Smaug - Review

Image
I'm going to be honest here, I didn't like the Lord of the Rings movies that much...yes, I've watched all of them more than twice but I think it had too many fighting scenes and most of them looked too similar, the only thing I liked of them was the story and different plots of them. The it came the Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey where it's a more quiet film with more adventures than killing but it was a little deception (unless the scene of riddles between Bilbo and Gollum!) and then it came the second part of The Hobbit called greatly "The Desolation of Smaug" and I have to say I really enjoyed it even more than the original Ring's Trilogy! It's true that it doesn't have that amazing story or so many secondary characters with their own stories or those high-scale action scenes with thousands of orcs but I personally like these new trilogy even more for the Tauriel has been a nice surprise as she always looks good in every scene she appears. d

Sherlock is back!

Image
After two years of waiting Sherlock is coming back from the death (literally) this January with the first episode called "The Empty Hearse" where we'll finally know how he faked his own death. The episode will air the 1st of January and then the other two will be released the 5th and the 12th, they will be called "The Sign of Three" and "His Last Vow"...I hope it has an amazing ending! I will post my review of each one of them as the last time of course.

My Opinion about Elsa and Frozen

Image
I just want to share my personal opinion, got it? Don't get me wrong, I've watched almost every Disney movie since I was a little kid and I loved most of them and still have them in my collection but their new film, Frozen, has touched me differently...I feel strongly connected with Elsa and besides that I think her "triumph" song is amazingly well done, I really wish they win an Academy Award for Best Song and even for Best Animated Film...they deserves those two at least! They just put the entire scene of the movie where Elsa sings this song, it's beautifully made from the song itself to the entire sequence and animation, the best scene of the film without doubt...here it is! Plus a little and very short scene I just found which is quite funny and cute!

Let it Go - Elsa

Image
You all know I've watched "Frozen" and I loved it, I want to share with you the song I liked most and has to win an academy award yes or yes. The song is called "Let it Go" and is sung by Elsa (played by Indina Menzel) after she shows her powers to the people and runs away from everything scared. At the end there's a clip with the song itself! The snow glows white on the mountain tonight Not a footprint to be seen A kingdom of isolation And it looks like I'm the queen The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried Don't let them in, don't let them see Be the good girl you always have to be Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know Well, now they know Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn away and slam the door I don't care what they're going to say Let the storm rage on The cold never bothered me anyway It's funny how some dist

Frozen - Review

Disney's magic is back after 20 years, this film is by far (without counting the Pixar ones) the greatest one they have released, I never had so many different emotions while watching a film, it will make you laugh and cry multiple times. Mild Spoilers! - The main plot centers about Elsa, a princess going to be queen who has the power to control and create ice and snow but after an accident in which almost kills her young sister, Anna, she has to stop making magic and no one can ever see her doing that stuff. Everything goes bad for Elsa, as she has stronger powers everyday but her parents forgive her to use them and try everything to control them until all gets even worse when the king and queen die from an accident, she becomes alone with no one knowing her secret until the coronation day where she gets angry about her sister and uses her powers accidentally. She goes far away from the city unknowing she started a never ending winter. Her sister, Anna, will go to find her a
