Yes I Can!!

Last night, I was watching the "Pursuit of Happyness", and it was kind of the right time for me to watch it. I’ve been put lately into many challenges in life, and I was on the verge of giving up and thinking that I can’t do it.

I’ve seen Chris Gardner struggling to succeed, fighting the obstacles and working so hard. He never gave up, he moved on and pursued his dream.

He told his son:

"Don’t ever let someone tell you, you can’t do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they want to tell you you can’t do it. You want something, go get it. Period. All right?"

 

Now I’m never giving up, I can be anything I want to be, I have a dream and I will pursue it. No matter what people say, no matter what the obstacles are, I’ll do it….

Yes I Can!!

I have faith in myself, in my dream and – above all – in God who will lead me throughout my journey.

 

Lord don’t move that mountain
Give me the strength to climb it
Please don’t move that stumbling block
But lead me Lord around it

The way may not be easy
You didn’t say that it would be
But when my tribulations get too light
We turn to stay away from thee

Who cares we bring on too you
You told us that we could
But you have also tried and help them self
And I believe that we should

My name is Khan…..and I’m not a terrorist!

I’ve just seen "My name is Khan", I’ve been reluctant to watch it since I wasn’t ready for the drama.

Yet, I’m really surprised how the indian cinema is advancing with a rocket speed while our cinema is falling down with movies like "Bobboss" & "Kalemny shokran"!

I LOVED the movie, it’s a romantic, social, drama movie with a few laughs. I LOVED Khan too, he’s an amzing character that would capture your heart truely.

 

The movie defends Islam in a smooth way, and rejects terrorism. It’s a movie about love, anti-racism and harmony.

This quote from the movie says it all:

there’s no difference between people – only good people who do good deeds and bad people who do bad.

 

This is an invitation for love & tolerance, let’s love each other, accept each other no matter what skin color we have, what religion we hold to or where we live.

We are on this life for a purpose….so let’s help each other to achieve it, hand in hand with love and peace.

 

Let’s all be Khan…let’s all be one! We can do it, yes we can!!

 

My name is Nevine, and I’m an optimist 🙂

Alice is back to Wonderland…..

Alice is now 19, and she returns to the wonderland to save them again from the Red Queen, and to fight the Jabberwocky.

The movie takes you back to your early years of childhood, and although you can guess how the story would end,  yet there were some good laughs at the movie in addition to the nice colors and graphics in 3D.

Johnny Depp could never fail to amaze me as an actor, he revived the movie by playing the role of the Mad Hatter.

 

The movie is not a WOW, but it’s a nice one to see 🙂

 

 

The Mad Hatter: There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter.
[picks up his hat]
The Mad Hatter: Which luckily I am.

Kah Mun Rah?!

Here we go; a second part of "Night at the Museum" is on screens now!
“Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian” is a fun movie, yet not as original as the first part. A LOT of stuff has slipped from the writer and the director; however you’ll have a laugh at the movie.

This part introduced a hilarious villain character called "Kahmunrah", played by "Hank Azaria".
Kahmunrah is a lisping Egyptian Pharaoh, evil yet not smart. He’s funny in all ways to an extent that insulted me as an Egyptian.
While the movie went on, and approached the end, I started to feel disappointed from the movie insinuations that were materializing in front of my eyes:
Kahmunrah, the evil dumb Pharaoh, Larry Daley, the night guard, originally Ben Stiller "the Jew?"…hmmm…

In addition to all the American leaders that save the world! Even if one of them is a big failure?!

 

Well, and who will win the Battle of the Smithsonian at the end?!
It doesn’t need a wild guess 🙂

If he’s not marrying you…

Lady 1: I used to think, that I had never been dumped.
Lady 2: Yeah, and then we started comparing notes and then we realized—wait a second—we’ve both been dumped by every man we’ve ever been with.
Lady 1: Every. One.
Lady 2: Yeah!
Lady 1: They do it so skillfully.
Lady 2: Mmhm!
Lady 1: So sneaky. That you think that it was your idea.
Lady 2: Yeah yeah yeah. You know. You’re sitting back and you’re like “Oh oh oh yeah, this is my idea but then wait a second. Why am I alone?”
Lady 1: “Why am I unhappy? Why have I gained 20 pounds?”
Lady 2: Mmhm!
Lady 1: They genuinely mind trick you.
Lady 2: Yes, they do!
Lady 1: You know what I’m saying?
Lady 2: Yeah! And they got those lines that they like to tell you.
Lady 1: Yeah, like “Oh, I don’t want to stand in your way.”
Lady 2: Oh, or, “you’re perfect. It’s just I have to work on myself.”
Lady 1: Or, “I’m just thinking of YOUR happiness.”
Lady 2: “Oh, I don’t DESERVE you.” That’s my favorite.
Lady 1: You know what line that I don’t like?
Lady 2: Hm?
Lady 1: “I’m so jealous of the guy that gets to marry you.” Well, that could’ve been you.
Lady 2: Yeah!
Lady 1: That’s what I was leaning towards.
Lady 2: Yeah! And let me tell you something. The second that you hear that, you just run to the store, get yourself some rims and a tub of ice cream because YOU have been dumped.

Are you the exception? or are you the rule?

 

Finally,  I got the chance to watch "He’s just not that into you", and despite the fact that most of the guys didn’t like the movie because they thought it’s shallow or making them all jerks and all women insane, I still believe it’s a good one.

The movie shows how we "girls" over analyze things in relationships and create execuses to the guys we love just to relief ourselves, while guys are direct and obvious, when they do not call you, then they do not WANT to call you, why should we bother ourselves by creating excuses for them. They can speak for themselves!

Girls should be strong enough to let go and move on when someone gives up on her.

When a guy loves truly, he will do anything and everything for the one he loves. Just make sure he "loves" you!

 

The movie is based on the book with the same title "He’s just not that into you" that I’ve read years ago. At that time I thought the book is exaggerating, and is emphasizing on the idea that almost all guys are not into you!

Yet when I grew a bit older, looked back at my life, I realized there was no exaggeration. Bottom line…since he’s not with you now then he was never into you"!

 

I know that girls will like this movie, however I believe that guys should see it too, it gives a deeper insight about how girls think, feel and need in their lives.

If your guy cares, he will want to watch the movie and he will understand. Otherwise, he might not be just that into you 😛 (J/K)

 

 

Movie’s Favorite Quote:

 

Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up: if a boy punches you he likes you, never try to trim your own bangs, and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending, every movie we see, every story we’re told implores us to wait for it: the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule, but sometimes we’re so focused on finding our happy ending we don’t learn how to read the signs, how to tell the ones who want us from the ones who don’t, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave, and maybe a happy ending doesn’t include a guy, maybe it’s you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future, maybe the happy ending is just moving on, or maybe the happy ending is this: knowing after all the unreturned phone calls and broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment… you never gave up hope.

 

Other interesting Quotes:

Quote1:  All of my friends used to tell me these stories about how things might work out with these dipshits because they knew someone who knew someone who dated a dipshit just like mine and that girl ended up married and living happily ever after. But, that’s the exception, and we’re not the exception. We’re the rule.

Quote2: Guys invented the "spark" so that they could not call, and treat you kind of bad, and keep you guessing, and they convince you that that anxiety and that fear that they’re throwing at you is actually, just a "spark". And you guys all buy it. You eat it up. And you love it. You love it because you feed off that drama. You all love that drama.

Wolverine’s Origins Revealed

* This post doesn’t include details about the movie, or any quotations that would disclose parts of it. I’m not that mean J

 

Although I’m not being a very big fan of X-Men, Loula (my cutest & best friend) dragged me into seeing their latest movie. We were originally going to watch “He’s just not into you”, but it wasn’t playing on City Stars screens.

And since I generally love going to the movies, and I sometimes think that X-Men are cool especially the handsome "Wolverine", therefore I didn’t mind.

 

Wolverine’s origins were revealed in the movie “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” that was released on the 1st of May 2009.

Unlike many reviews that indicated that the movie was not up to the standards and not that good, I liked it, since I wasn’t seeking sophistication.

I believe it unveiled many mysterious aspects about Wolverine’s life that I’ve always wanted to know about. I enjoyed seeing the human part of his character, how he feels, cares and loves.

 

I didn’t also see it fair to compare it to “The Dark Knight” – like other people did – since it was one of the best movies I’ve seen in 2008.

Wolverine’s movie is of a different nature, and not as deep as “The Dark Knight” which was rated as the best movie after “The God Father”.

 

Afterall I enjoyed it, and it’s up to you to see it or not.

Yet, you girls should go see that handsome lol

 

 

Quote from the movie: 

Kayla: “There were two spirits, the Moon and Coacuatchoo, and they were in love. One day, a trickster spirit tricks Coacuatchoo into going to the mortal realm to bring back flowers for the Moon spirit, however, having left the spirit realm, Coacuatchoo can never go back, can never touch the moon, forever longing for his lost love.
Coacuatchoo is “Wolverine””
