This is my dream... just to be able to breath to "Eat.. Pray..Love"

I cant wait for this movie to come out. It had some great reviews and some bad ones. But do you think its unreal or people don't do this kind of thing just as it was critisized. Its not! I know many travel bloggers that have done this or still doing this.. take a year off to find what they really love in life and explore the world that we live in. Do I want to do this? Hell yah!!! Its exactly what I need...

The book was on the best seller list for many many weeks. Every body talked about it...
















If you want another great read about leaving everything behind and travel the world for a year then this is another great true story read about three girlfriends who took time away from it all and traveled the world. They had a great blog that I was following before the book came out.

Looking for a movie...watch "AVATAR" تبحث عن فيلم ... اءتفرج "على أفاتار

What to do on a weekend in Jeddah... hmmm..
Well, my family and I have a tradition. A movie night. Its a trend really since I was a teenager. We used to rent a movie every weekend, gather all together and watch. Remember the VHS. That trend continued even with marriges, kids and all. I, as you are probably aware by now is a movie fanatic. In montreal I didnt even care if I ever found someone to go with me to the movies or not. Most of the time I went alone on intended. I love movies so much I didnt want to be destracted, wispered to, or pay attention to anyone. I just wanted to watch the movie. Now any one who ever lived in Jeddah or is living in Jeddah have creative ways to get the new movies. Let me just say thank god for the internet or we would have been watching movies only if they came out on DVD or excuse me now I have to start saying Blue ray.. wich could mean months and months. I am sorry I just cant wait all that time.
This weekend the choosen movie was AVATARand it was such an exciting choice because everyone was waiting to see it. It had needed preperations.. the right dinner.. the right drinks.. and the right snacks... It was a great hit! cant wait for the original DVD.. opps Blue Ray to come out to add it to my collection of movies in my liberary.. yes its a keeper for sure...

The lonely film "UP IN THE AIR" George Clooney amazing! فيلم مؤثر عن حياة وحيدة فوق السحاب مع جورج كلوني وأداء مؤثر

I just finished watching this movie Up In The Air
and I have really enjoyed it. Anyone who is on the move sometimes we feel like we are actually living in airports and I used to say it "Riding the plane to me is like taking a bus at a bus stop" I don't see the lines anymore and the procedures and the lines seem so natural to go through. I am automatic.. heck most of the times my bag was unpacked because I am flying again soon. Is it a lonely life.. yes just like the film portrayed. Anyone who is looking for a new good story in a film. I think will get it by watching this movie. I thought that the pace of the film would be slow but it wasn't.
It really hit my interest when you listen to all the stories of the people that are being laid off... the stories are real the fears were real... the need of hope was real...
All in all a superb movie worth all the good reviews and nominations that it had received.

Fun Lilliy Selection: Thu Night at Home Movie Cinema " BEOWULF "

I had a habit when I was in Canada it was that every weekend unless I was on call I have to see a Movie at the Cinema (or on a DVD if there really wasnt anything to see in the cinema, I had a service for a monthly fee, they send you the DVDs to your mail box and you send it back to them by mail called Zip.ca ) it was nice when I went with my friends or loved one, but it was even nicer when I went alone.. I like going to the movies alone.. no disturbances.. no talking.. no commenting .. just me and the Movie with my Twizzlers Nibs Candy and a large coke no ice.. to me a movie is the best entertainment.. and it was always something to look forward to on the weekend since I was a teenager.. we had a ritual my sisters and I.. every Wed. ( that's when the weekend starts in Jeddah) with the help of our mother we make a big plate of fries and Balilah ( chick peas with cucumber and cumin vinegar its a Higgazy Jeddawi snack) and sit and watch a video movie even if its something we saw before.. it was always a lot of fun.. so now that I am back we restarted our tradition but now with the extended family members who luckily have the same passion we get together on Thu night usually for pizza or take out and watch a movie.. this week I bought the Movie here in Jeddah for the first time from Jarrir bookstore.. I actually bought three, one for the next 2 weeks as well.. so we saw "BEOWULF" it was really captivating and very entertaining.. we all enjoyed it.. so I highly recommend..
Check out The Official Movie Web Site they have entertaing features with podcasts and games.. worth visiting..
the other two movies I bought are:
National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets
Elizabeth The Golden Age

The Movie " The Kite Runner" .. much awaited movie..

I haven't seen The Movie yet... but I am really waiting for it to be available, it will be in theaters this coming Dec 14th 2007.. The trailers seem that they have done a good job making Khaled Hosseini`s book novel " The Kite Runner" if you haven't read the book yet I highly recommend that you do (even with the disturbing part in the book).. its still would be nice to read it as the Author had written it with his own words before you see the movie
This is an interview with him :

here is the trailer for the movie on YouTube:

These are the official movie websites:
" The Kite Runner" Official Site
Apple Trailers " The Kite Runner" you can see it in HD on this Apple Site.. which is my personal favorite because may be I am just an Apple fan..
also in the news there is a buzz on the actors in the movie that needed to be moved from Afghanistan to the UAE because there is a possible danger on them for acting in this film which was filmed in China.. here is the link to The New York Times Article:
‘Kite Runner’ Boys Are Sent to United Arab Emirates

By DAVID M. HALBFINGER
Published: December 3, 2007
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2 — The “Kite Runner” boys are safely out of Kabul. After months of worrying and diplomatic wrangling from half a world away, the movie studio that is releasing the tale of childhood betrayal, ethnic tension and sexual predation in Afghanistan has whisked to safety four young actors. They were feared to be vulnerable to reprisal because of the film’s depiction of a culturally inflammatory rape scene.
The boys, each accompanied by a relative, arrived in the United Arab Emirates on Friday just after 3 a.m. Eastern time, said officials working with the studio, Paramount Pictures. The movie’s release had been delayed by six weeks to allow time for them to be relocated. It will open on Dec. 14 in 30 markets.

I dont understand though why they had to use actors that are young boys from the same country as the one in the novel and put them in possible danger like that.. but as in the article the production company says that they will help them.. so I just hope they stick to helping them..
Added: Have you read the book? if you didn't read it do you think you will , just wait for the movie, or you wont do either?

Added: Dec 18th, 2007

The premier of the film was in Dubai, UAE on the last day of The 4th Dubai International Film Festival which was on Dec 16th, 2007 just two days ago.. there were many interviews done by the author who came to the premier and director Marc Forster who said

"I felt the story in the book will shine a light on Afghanistan, and it felt like there was a new beginning, so it never crossed my mind that any of these children would be in danger," he said.
