Cinema

Sunday, February 4th, 2007

I went to the movies a few on Friday so see "Pulse",

and i must say "what a deception". I truly expected more from it due to the good publicity they gave to it. If you'd like to go to the movies here, there's a possibility. The "Yelmo Cineplex" cinema at the "Atlantico Shopping Center" in Vecindario(Santa Lucia) offers movies shown in it's original language (normally english). So you might want to go, chek out the movies playing now:

From February 2nd to 8th:

12:30 pm
4:00 pm
6:20 pm

From February 2nd to 8th:

9:00 pm
0:05 pm
 

Personally i've just seen "The Departed" and it's very good, but i've been told that "A Good Year" is also worth seing.

12 grapes

Sunday, December 31st, 2006
You were probably saying: what?? 12 grapes?? No, i'm not crazy. As a, not only canarian but, entirely spanish tradition we celebrate the countdown to the new year in a very particular way. The last 12 gongs, from normally a tower-clock, of the year when it gets 0:00 are ment to be accompained with a sigle grape with every gong. It normally broadcasted live on TV from the "Puerta del Sol" in Madrid, but since we have it one hour later, it's normally done from a local church with tower-clock. It has its origin 1909 from wine growers who celebrated a good years harvest and is now one of the most deeply rooted habits. You'd be probably tired of hearing this today and i don't want to be the one to miss this chance to get on your nerves too. :D A big hug for everybody, and have a !!! HAPPY NEW YEAR ...

Shaken, Not Stirred

Friday, November 24th, 2006
Casino Royale, thats the title of the new James Bond movie, based on the charecter created by novelist Ian Fleming. The 22nd movie, the 21st official one, about this british super spy, starring Daniel Craig (James Bond) and Eva Green (Bond Girl: Vesper Lynd), had its world premiere in London on November 14th and its Spain premiere is today. "The new Bond" has recieved very good critics from everyone and is said to be the most realistic Bond in a long time. "Simply brilliant" by the BBC is the expression that fits almost every critic, beside the fact that Daniel Craig has managed to be compared with Sean Connery, bringing back the charm and magnetism to this saga. I have seen some scenes of it in trailers and tv-spots and i can't wait to see it. If its really true what they say about him being ...
