Hipsy's View: Merry Christmas 2010

Hey everyone, just dropping a line to wish you all a Merry, MERRY Christmas and a Happy New Year. Coming to the end of another year, and just beginning a new year in my life (I just recently turned 21), I realized how many things I have seen in such little time. I know I've started this blog to be a somewhat freelance, unemployed critic, but I'd like now to share with you some of the things I have seen.

I'm young, and I still have more to learn about, but I have seen so much all ready; you, my readers, may even shared these experiences (even more than me).

A year after I was born, the Berlin Wall came down. When I was seven, the world was shocked by JonBonet Ramsey's death. After I was ten, I saw that world didn't change into a "Jetsons" episode with flying cars and maid robots in 2000. But three months before my 12th birthday, it did feel for moment as though the world was coming to an end as I watched along with my classmates the Twin Towers fall during 9/11. As I got into high school, I changed from the tomboy to the quiet loner-with-friends. And now, I am 21-year-old Hispanic/Caucasian girl who almost has an AA, and who has yet still to see the real world. 

This past year has been difficult for my family and I, but as we come to the end of another year, I have a feeling this next year holds something better for us. I pray your future in the next year will be just as grand. Again, Merry Christmas, everyone. May your holidays be as wonderful as mine have been so far.

Hipsy's View: John Malkovich

This is my first view on an actor, and is more than likely not the last. John Malkovich, in my opinion, is one of the greatest actors known in today's entertainment society. Every character he brings to life is unique in its own way. One of my favorite characters Malkovich help bring to the movie screen was a character named Lenny. Lenny is a character from a book by John Steinbeck called Of Mice and Men . Lenny is mentally disabled, due to kick in the head by a horse when he was young. He's a big man who is more like child in his own way. In 1992, Malkovich starred in the the movie Of Mice and Men , along side with Gary Sinise (who also directed the movie). Just look at the video clip from the movie (the link after this paragraph) to see Malkovich's performance; those that have read the book may agree with me that his performance was great. http://movieclips.com/watch/of-mice-and-men-1992/lennies-dead-mouse/ One the thing I love about Malkovich's performances and ...

Hipsy's View: Matched

Well, today's the day I give you my very first review on a book I have read during my leisure time. I couldn't put it down, and though I had to begin classes today, I finished reading it within four days (which is like a record for me). So all of those of you that enjoyed Stephenie Meyer's The Host , I would certainly recommend that you read Ally Condie's Matched . Condie plans to write two more sequels to this novel, completing a trilogy by the end on 2012 (the second is rumored to be released November 2011, and the third on November 2012). As an avid reader myself, I must tell you, this book was GREAT!!!!!!!!  Growing up, I was always told two things about books:  One, never judge a book by it's cover, and two, never read the ending of book because you'll ruin the story and not be interested in it. Well, this may come as no surprise, but I usually break those two rules. It's habit for someone to judge a book by it's cover, plus I find it helpful to do...
