REEL DEAL: The Descendants REVIEW

Its refreshing to see movies less the fast paced action, magic and sci-fi stories from Hollywood. Breaking back to reality of family and love makes great stories and can move people into tears. This is what The Descendants will share to movie goers.

In this film George Clooney plays a father for the first time in his career. Being a father to two daughters with different personalities and also a husband to his wife who he needs to take care after a horrible accident.

Also placed on placed on his shoulders is a responsibility of his family's inheritance that will make a big impact in the islands of Hawaii. One can also realize that living in a tropical state does not mean you live in paradise. Problems there are not less than others, and the pain and suffering is also not less than another place.

With an interesting array of characters and superb portrayal of emotions and 'language', I would also consider to read the novel from which the movie is based from. Interestingly the movie received awards including two Golden Globe Awards.

MUSIC LYF: Thank You Withney Houston

I just woke up with a bad  news that music icon Whitney Houston was found dead in a Beverly Hills Hotel. The source of her death is still unknown but definitely it shook the music world and her fans. I too was indeed sad on her passing as I loved her songs like I Will Always Love You, When You Believe, I Wanna Dance WIth Somebody, and my favorite When You Believe.


Indeed we were touched by her songs in one way or the other, this what makes a artists leave their permanence which we will greatly remember even if they do have issues on their own. Whitney has faced a downfall with her lifestyle and unfortunately with her return to the music scene has turned into a sad tragedy.
