2013 movies

On the Road by Jack Kerouac

by Athena // July 1, 2013 // 2 Comments
This is one of those novels that seemed almost like nonfiction. It is based on Kerouac’s actual journeys across America so a lot of it was probably real. The inconsistency and wildness seemed too strange to be fiction at times.... Continue reading →

Monthly Movies – May 2013

by Athena // June 3, 2013 // 6 Comments
For the last couple of months, I’ve been watching mostly TV and rewatching movies and shows. I don’t think I watched a new movie for almost two months until War Horse. War Horse (18 05 2013) – Review Here. Kinky... Continue reading →

War Horse by Michael Morpurgo

by Athena // May 20, 2013 // 2 Comments
I was apprehensive of this children’s book mostly because I get very sad with animal stories. I remember watching Black Beauty (1994) as a kid, and being crying. I rarely cried during movies when I was younger, and even now,... Continue reading →

Monthly Movies – March 2013

Monthly Movies – February 2013

A review of Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin and the first season (2011) of the HBO show. Continue reading →

Monthly Movies – January 2013

by Athena // February 5, 2013 // No Comments
Batman: The Dark Knight Rises (03 01 2013) – This was long. I think I got a headache from watching it. Batman (DCAU) is part of my childhood, but Nolan’s Batman will never be my Batman. I can’t imagine Batman... Continue reading →

Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell

by Athena // February 2, 2013 // 5 Comments
This was a clever and well written book. It was ambitious and unique. It took me awhile to read this book. It was on my Kindle so I often forgot I had it and it didn’t give me incentive to... Continue reading →
