[MOVIE REVIEW] Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (2014)


poster of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day 2014
5 stars rating

NO SPOILERS

Today I will be reviewing a super fun comedy movie based on Judith Viorst's children's book of the same name: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
Yep.

Here's the trailer :


The movie is about a 11-year-old boy, Alexander Cooper (Ed Oxenbould), who always seems to have horrible days while the rest of his family are succeeding at their lives.

In the morning of his twelfth birthday, while everyone is asleep, he makes himself a little birthday cupcake and thinks how he would like if the rest of his family were to have a terrible day, so they'd understand what his everyday felt like. And his wish comes true turning that day into a complete disaster.

I had so much fun watching this movie. It's just that innocent fun type of movie, totally safe to watch it with your family.

The actors were just perfect for this, which is something very important to me. It has the participation of Jennifer Garner (Alias) as Alexander's mother, Steve Carell (The 40-year-old Virgin) as his father, Dylan Minnette (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.; Scandal) as his older brother and Kerris Dorsey as the older sister.

They just don't make movies like this so frequently anymore, so I definitely, definitely recommend it!

[MOVIE REVIEW] Two Night Stand (2014)


poster of Two Night Stand 2014
MODERATE SPOILERS


Today I was feeling like watching a romantic comedy and came across the movie Two Night Stand, with Miles Teller (The Spectacular Now; Divergent; Project X) and Analeigh Tipton (Cycle 11 of America's Next Top Model; Warm Bodies) and I was like: yes!

So this is the movie I'll be reviewing this time! - If it wasn't clear already.

 5 stars rating
Now is it me or trailers these days just tells you everything about a movie? I'm telling you, I NEVER watch an entire trailer before watching a movie because it spoils the whole experience of being surprised by it!

But if you're one of those people who likes watching them, then here's it is :


So the movie is about an unemployed single girl called Megan (Analeigh Tipton), who lives with her not-so-happy-about-it-friend, Faiza (Jessica Szohr), and decides to try online dating.

After trying to get into a club with Faiza and her boyfriend and not being able to because she misplaced her ID, she ran into her ex-fiance and his new girl, and now she sees herself at the rock bottom.

That night she decides to have, for the first time, a one night stand with someone from the dating site, who turns out to be a guy named Alec (Miles Teller).

Unfortunately in the next morning as she tries to leave his place, she realizes she can 't because of a huge blizzard, turning the one night stand into two.

This movie was really fun. I believe the scenario they're in, relationship wise, is very relatable to a lot of people, which is something nice in a romantic comedy.

They were perfect for the role of young people who are just starting their lives, still figuring it out.

Is it just me or Miles Teller looks a lot younger than his actual age, which is 27? Well, congratulations to him.

For me there just wasn't a downside to this movie and it didn't leave anything to be desired, so yes I do recommend it!

Go check it out!

NO SPOILERS



Today I'm reviewing a sitcom executive produced by Ashley Tisdale and starring the beautiful ex-Disney star Emily Osment: Young & Hungry.

The show was renewed for a second season, which is coming up this spring.Yay!

    5 stars rating
The series follows the life of a feisty girl named Gabi (Emily Osment) who gets hired as a personal chef by Josh (Jonathan Sadowski) and has to prove herself not only to him, but also to his personal assistant in order to keep the job.

The show also counts with the participation of Jesse McCartney as Cooper, a computer hacker who comes to work for Josh.

I found the series to be super easy and fun to watch, the characters are very bright and they all have a distinct personality which makes everything even better.

Because it is so simple and easy to like, I give this show 5 stars for sure :)

So go ahead and check it out!

[BOOK REVIEW] Never Give Up Your Dreams - Augusto Cury


cover of Nunca Desista de Seus Sonhos by Augusto Cury



I just finished reading the first self-help book that has actually helped me: Never Give Up Your Dreams, by the amazing  brazilian psychiatrist, psychotherapist and writer, Augusto Cury.

I read the portuguese version and I know there is a spanish version, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find an english one.

5 stars rating
So if you understand portuguese or spanish make sure to check it out, if not, I recommend you still read other books by Augusto Cury that has been translated to english because it WILL be worth it!

In this book he tells the story of a few of the greatest dreamers, such as Abraham Lincoln , Martin Luther King and Jesus Christ, doing a psychological review on their minds and actions, and explaining why having dreams is so vital.

It is just amazing, I read a little bit every morning and it would just put me in a better mood to face my daily routine.

So I recommend this book 100%, if you decide on reading it, you won't regret it!

[BOOK REVIEW] Crossed - Ally Condie

Cover of the book Crossed by Ally Condie

MODERATE SPOILERS


Today I will be reviewing a book that I just finished reading: Crossed, the second book of the Matched trilogy by Ally Condie. Click here to check my review on the first book, Matched.

Now, this one blew me away. I mean, the first book was already amazing, but this one is wordless.

 5 stars rating
This time the novel is told by both Cassia and Ky's alternating point of view. Cassia is trying to get to Ky, who's been sent to the Outer Provinces to, basically, die, and Ky is trying to get back to the Society to find Cassia. So this book makes you anxious to see what is going to happen, and you keep wishing for them to just meet each other, but then something happens and they get further apart, making you want to read the book non stop. That goes on into about half of the book, when they finally find each other.

In Crossed a lot of juicy secrets are revealed, from all of them, including the Society's, and new characters, that are just as captivating and misterious as the main ones, appears. It's interesting to see how they change and grow throughout this book, in comparison to the first one, as they find and see things they never expected to or knew it existed.

I don't want to say much more so I don't spoil the book for you, but it's basically the journey of Cassia and Ky to finding freedom from the Society and for themselves.

If you read Matched, I recommend you to read this one because it is even better and you are going to love it!

[BOOK REVIEW] Matched - Ally Condie

Cover of the book Matched by Ally Condie
MINOR SPOILERS



I'm here today to review an amazing romantic dystopian book, called Matched, by Ally Condie. This is the first book of the Matched trilogy, and let me tell you right up front: it is worth reading.

       
The story is told by Cassia Reyes's, the main character, point of view, and it is about an utopic society where the government controls everything you do claiming it is for humanity's  own good. So the world is free of deseases, the people has their job chosen for  them based on their capability, they all wear the same clothing and they all die at the age of 80. But Cassia slowly realises, as she gets played by the Society, that the system in which she believed her entire life, isn't that perfect.



Now, when you start this book you think you can predict what is going to happen, and at first you are right: there's the forbidden love and the desire of freedom. But then as you read more and more, small details, that where previously there, but untold, are added to the plot, which changes everything.


The author has a really good writing style, so the book is really easy to read. If you haven't read a dystopian book yet, I recommend this to be the first one you do, because you are gonna love it if you don't, don't blame it on me though. And if you have read others, like Divergent and Delirium (and loved them), you're gonna like this one for sure.

---

So this is it for the review. I'm trying to tell you guys what the book is about, and what to expect of it, without boring you with an endless text and giving you too much spoilers, so I don't ruin the good parts of the story, but if you want me to give more details please let me know.

If there's a book you guys would like me to review, leave it in the comments.
If you've already read this one and I wrote something incorrect about it, let me know as well.


See you in the next review, xo
