Ghostbusters Revamped?

1989 Poster  

With the new Ghostbusters movie's filming having come to an end, I am still uncertain of what to truly feel about this new movie. I don't want to know the plot nor do I want to know how it's gotten all twisted, but the characters Venkman, Stantz, Spengler, and Winston are what makes the Ghostbusters what it is. If you twist it all up, it's not the Ghostbusters anymore. It becomes something different.

Perhaps, they could have called it something different or they could have created something out of the Ghostbusters franchise. No disrespect to Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig. They are very talented actresses, but even so, it just doesn't feel right to change up the Ghostbusters so much.

Un Gallo Con Muchos Huevos

I was hesitant to watch this because it's a Spanish-speaking movie.

It's not often that I leave the theater with a smile these days, but with this movie, I did. It's simple, direct to the point, and very enjoyable. And, most of all, fun which is what is lacking even in many movies for kids these days.

The thing that I liked about the movie is that it depicts the hero's journey really well. Everything revolves around the main character including the actions of the supporting characters. Needless to say, it's all about ToTo.

Disney's The Jungle Book

This is one remake that I'm actually looking forward to. The problem I had with the 1994 live action version was that the main character was portrayed as a grown man. As far as I've always known "The Jungle Book" has always portrayed him as a boy. So, it's nice to see a more traditional portrayal of the main character. I'm glad that Disney has finally come to their senses. Bravo!

I will sure add this to my must watch movie list.

Suddenly, I feel Inspired

This song gives me goosebumps.

To Write or Not to Write

I have been feeling kind of unhappy on how I have ignored my writing. I've been so busy doing other things that suddenly I felt that longing to write a good story, perhaps to finish a novel.  I still haven't published a novel in years. And, no matter how hard I delve into Anne Tyler's quote, it has yet to truly sink in. Or perhaps, I'm just plain lazy.

Letter to my readers:

I have put off the publishing of new novels. I have been very busy lately and I don't think I can put all effort in promoting another book right now. I am having second thoughts about publishing another book. Perhaps, things are just going to be put on hold right now.

By the way, Baseball season is about to begin.

Right now, it's relaxing time with some music I don't understand.

Later.....

Humbly,
