Rocky Balboa

I think the Rocky series is one of the best series of movies that has ever been created; maybe it seconds only to star wars. When I heard they made a forth movie I thought "Nah! it ain't gonna be near any of the other ones" and I gladly say I WAS WRONG. It's one of the best that I have seen recently, maybe cuz I just needed that kind of movies or maybe cuz it's really amazing. It moves a lot of feelings inside you and shows you the way to be the champ of your life and to live it the way it should be lived, YOUR OWN WAY.
I thought I should mention this quote as it really moved me: "The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!"

Ibrahim Labyad: A bad idea, a bad movie

Ibrahim Labyad Sucks, here is the full story:
Well, I have finished my exams and as I am used to for as long as I can remember It's time to hit the cinema and watch the best movie out there to officially start the summer and so we did. We have not always been luck with movies, some good ones and some really bad ones, but always me and kareem (a friend of mine got to choose them). Tonight it was Ibrahim Labyad.
I am a big fan of Ahmad Al Saqa, there has been always something to his movies that made it really special, a great story, a great script, a great picture and of course as always his great performance; I only got to see his good performance, he wasn't even as good as the last one. No story at all, just the life of a street man (baltagy) with no point at all of choosing him to be the center of anything.
Some of my friends told me that the movie represented reality and what a bad representation it was. The girl who has never been to school read the newspaper better than I did when I was in high school, his friend pronounced cafeteria as if he has been out of his BMW and all the characters were so polite although they were all mad murderers.
The ending gave no closure, no expression, no nothing. My opinion if you're thinking about seeing it DON'T.

A Dying Hope

This is a quote from my favourite movie when Noah (the stroy hero and the story teller too) decided to move on without never really moving on. This is the last letter of the 365 letters he sent to Allie
"My Dearest Allie. I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you. Noah"
