Julie & Julia: The Right Movie at the Right Time (c:

Saving the best for last really, actually my reviews were actually in the order of viewing.  Unfortunately the plane had to land 20 minutes before the movie's completion but what I saw only made me literally "hungry" for more.
Meryl Streep and Amy Adams had played their roles fabulously and appropriately.  It was as if the two main characters where living in parallel universes or rather parallel times.  The food was yummy, yes I can tell, eyes eat before the mouth!
The best thing about this movie is that it had really hit a spot, and watching it at that timing was considered by me as another strong signal that I made the right choice, abandoning my established career for starting my very own business!  Putting it in Meyo's words "مناسب جداً للمرحلة" :D
Well it further stresses on the idea of "if you are not happy with whatever you are doing, change it for something you actually like to do, life is too short not to enjoy!"
I plan to watch the movie again the first chance I get in order to watch it complete, and with no interruptions from the cabin crew, urrrrggghhh!!!
That's it for the after-vacation spill, bed is calling, I hope you'll find the reviews helpful and enjoy the three movies, if you ever get to watch them, as much as I did.
Ta Ta...

The Hangover

Now the second movie: this is a pure comedy movie, three guys dealing with the aftermath of a stag night where they lost the groom-to-be!!!
The combination of the loser, the geek, and the know-it-all-hot-dude along with a hooker, a baby, a tiger, a "queen" and Mike Tyson is explosive.
The movie was following those three dudes through their detective-like approach to find their lost friend, retracing the steps based on evidence they find out about the night they had the most fun in their lives where unfortunately they had all memories of it all wiped out!
The movie is great fun if you're looking for laughs leaving the brain to rest a little after a hard day at work, or after two days of intensive shopping :$
I find it a little funny that this movie was out in cinemas when I was in the UK in the summer, and on my following visit I watch it on the plane!
Enjoy it if you get to watch it, I recommend it for a movie night with friends, the company will positively add to the watching experience.

Ice Age 3: Can't Get Enough of Their Brilliance

On the plane I got the chance to watch three great movies, therefore bear with me since I'm jotting down all three at the same time.
I first started with Ice Age 3, to start up with I'm a big fan of the franchise, though I'm not really a big fan of trilogies in general, they usually tend to decline in quality of the story and plot by the third part.  Well in my opinion, this definitely hasn't happened to Ice Age 3.
It was absolutely hilarious, with multiple witty remarks-my absolute favorite was: Buck the weasel,as he sees a huge butterfly, "I knew that guy when he was a caterpillar! You know, before he came out."- as well as the all-time favorite characters keeping to their true selves and entertaining as ever.
The new comers to the story were very good and funny too, namely buck and the three baby dinos.  Sloth was slow, dumb and as usual the herd's class clown;  Scratt was so cute and so "sahlool" as well falling in love with Scratte, though his heart could only have room for his one big love!
I recommend this one for cartoon lovers, and those who would appreciate a good laugh.
P.S. I'm still holding a huge grin on my face and it's about 10 days already since I watched it :D

Watch "Cat"

So the vegetables lady went somewhere, God knows where, and the cat looked like she was watching out for the "farsha" until the lady comes back to her portable shop.  Pretty neat, watchcat (c;

Being on One Kid's Good Side

So I finally got on A's good side, earning myself a shower of kisses and a big welcoming hug on arrival and upon leaving too, as well as a "I Love You" Painting.  H thinks her daughter finally made friends with me because of a humongous lollipop three weeks ago, but I say it's keeping a promise even if it is a one year old promise.
Kiddo, you just made my day (c:

Couples Retreat

I don't really know how to categorize this one, it was not really a chick flick, nor romantic, not all the way that funny either.  The movie didn't offer much in the eye treats department either, Vince Vaughn was alright though.
I don't know why do I feel this movie was such a disappointment, even though I was not expecting really much out of it, except maybe a few more laughs probably.
Anyway I find a warning is due here, since the movie will pour all the characters' problems and deficiencies all over the audience throughout the entire movie, and miraculously everything will be sorted out in the last 10 minutes.  Too Arabic or Indian movie for my taste to be honest!!!
The only thing I was sure of though, is that Bora Bora is "THE" place when coming to think of a honeymoon, if I bump into "THE" one to take with that is, since I already burnt the Hawaii card for myself (c:

What Caught My Eyes Today...

A few things caught my attention today:

• They changed the flow in Al-Thawra street in Mohandessin making it one way flowing from Shooting Club off to Batal Ahmed Abdel Aziz.  Back in the day when the flow was two ways, people used to go wrong just for the fun of cutting in line to the car right in front of them.  Today, when it is only one way, people are lining up in one lane even when the other lane is practically empty!!! Do people love to break the law or did they use the other lane previously out of spite of the people rightfully using it as well as the car they are trying to get in front?!?!  Beats me!  Actually I still think people here act like a cattle herd, they don't like to venture into taking the less traveled path!
• Have you seen the movie trailer for some Egyptian movie called "Feelings" or "أحاسيس"?  Well this is simply something I noted not that I'm surprised, not have we become so explicit in our movies, but also we are getting explicit and rude in the titles, and the way we write them on the posters in order to accentuate a partial word to complete the insinuation of what the movie promises its viewers.
• When Algerians allegedly attacked Egyptians in Sudan, all the 80 million ,spare a few, literally made a big fuss about how valuable the Egyptian dignity is and that won't pass lightly.  Well it didn't only pass lightly, but we didn't see a similar reaction when our boarders where attacked a couple of days ago, I rather found an unexplained sympathy with the attackers!  I really prefer not to elaborate or comment on this anymore, it's enough that people who know me pretty well know what I REALLY want to say!
• Today I realized I have met masses of people, made stacks of friends, lost plenty of them, and only a few stay my little self-made wealth who keep enriching my life everyday, for that I'm thankful, and I pray every night that you stay in my life forever.  I also noted that I don't thank you enough for the support you give me every step of the way, for remembering me at moments when I feel forgotten, for lifting me up when I reach rock bottom, and for always being my solace! I love you for that and much more...

I'm out, good night!

Still Too Angry..

I wish we could learn how to protect our boarders more like cartoon characters do!!!

The Universe Conspires to Keep Me Awake!

Today was just one of those days, it seems nature wanted to keep me up for some weird reason, that I still haven't found out about yet!

• 05:20-Peacefully sleeping and I hear the Fajr azan, so I feel too guilty not to wake up and pray
• 05:27-I prayed but my eyes are wide open now and unable to get back to sleep
• 07:30-Precious sleep finally comes back
• 08:00-My Golf alarm goes off, and I snooze for 15 minutes, I fall asleep right after
• 08:15-Alarm goes off again, I call coach to tell I won't be coming today, he doesn't pick up, I fall right back to sleep
• 08:20-Coach calls, tells me I'm lazy and better go back to sleep :(  Sleep has left the building (wwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaa333)
• 08:45-Sleep finally decided to come back after desperate pleading from my side
• 09:00-The mother opens my room door and wakes me up, oh you're not Golfing today, breakfast time it is; I say I didn't sleep well, so she leaves me in peace
• 09:20-Someone called insisting it is some Zeinab's number, and finally is convinced he dialed the wrong number!  That's when I finally get the hint and get up

Now it's is late afternoon, and I don't know how on Earth will I carry on with my day when I'm in such a miserable state of lacking my 8-hour beauty sleep!  It's a conspiracy I insist!!!!
