“Tannoura Maxi”: MY review
Category Archives: Movies
Hypocrisy much?
It’s day 3 of my 3rd week without my laptop. I’m ok with it so far, in fact I’m feeling better. The laptop repair is done but I’m just waiting for my friend to give it back to me. I hope I don’t get back to my old head-glued-to-the-laptop-till-after-midnight routine. I’ll have to work on this.

For legions of people, The Hunger Games is the most anticipated movie release of the year. And for a movie released so early in 2012, that's saying something.

The movie is a must watch whether you read the book or not. And despite that it takes place in a very weird place, you don't feel distant from the incidents and characters.

Where Do We Go Now? The Review
I promise I’m not going to spoil the movie for you so you could enjoy watching it like I did. Yes, I enjoyed the movie. Nadine Labaki got me once again. I only watched Caramel (her previous movie) last year. Back at 2007 I wasn’t much of a movies person and especially Lebanese and Arabic production. But after watching the movie, I fell in love it that I memorized it and always set the soundtrack on repeat.
