Music Tuesday #15

So today is April 10th, also the 100th anniversary of when the RMS Titanic started its Maiden Voyage.  What no one knew at the time, was that not only would that day go down in history but it was also many of those peoples last days.

I have been fascinated with the story of the Titanic since I first saw the movie with Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio in 1998.  I was too young at the time it was released into theaters (only 6 in 1997), so I didn't get to see it until 1998 when it had been released on video (yes, video...not DVD). 

Since then, I've bought the DVD and watch it every couple of years, and each time I cry my eyes out. 

Last Thursday I went and saw it in 3-D in theaters.  It's something I've always wanted to do, because at the time of the original release my mom wouldn't stop talking about how much she loved seeing it on the big screen.

(on a side note, Titanic, it's original release in 1997, was also the last time my dad went into a movie theater! haha)

So this past Thursday I FINALLY got to see Titanic not only on the big screen but also in 3-D! It was an amazing experience, and even though 3-D didn't make that much of a difference, it was still not only amazing seeing the Titanic actually HUGE, but only getting to see Leonardo on the big screen when he was still cute! :)

So in honor of today, the song I have chosen (I'm sure you can guess what it is...), is...

And btw according THIS article, Kate Winslet can't stand hearing this song anymore...but then again, can you blame her??


Happy Tuesday everyone! :)

    I LOVE this song! It's such a great song, I think, for the Titanic and Celine Dion has such a strong voice.. It's funny, because I want to be a singer when I grow up, so I do song reviews on Tuesday, too, as well as Thursdays. When I do them on Tuesday, they're called Tuney Tuesday. :) Great minds think alike, right? ;)

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

Hey Everyone! I finished another book!  I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks.  Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it.  Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York.  But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnect...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

I saw the movie Hugo (directed by Martin Scorsese) right before the New Year.  Let me back track, and let you know that usually I am NOT a fan of Oscar movies.  If I'm being honest, I find them to be boring.  However, this year has seemed to bring quite a few more exceptions than normal.  Among those are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , The Help , and Hugo.   I fell in love with Hugo .  I thought it so beautifully done.  The music, the characters, the story.  I found myself crying even at points that wouldn't necessarily make you cry.  I honestly, didn't know the movie was based on a book; but when I found out at the end, I knew I had to read it. The winner of the Children's Caldecott Award, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is nothing like anything I've ever read.  Normally, when I read I imagine the story that I am reading  unfolding in my head like a movie; but with The Invention of Hugo ...

The Hunger Games Should be BANNED!!

Image
Okay, let me begin by saying, you may find my title misleading...but guess what? It got you to read this post! :) PLEASE CONTINUE READING!! I really think something needs to be known!  The Hunger Games should NOT be allowed in elementary schools!!  In fact, I don't even think it should be allowed in middle school either! This is the whole point to this post! I read the series last year, and enjoyed them.  I thought the story was definitely very original.  I am going to be making a few lists in this post, and here is my first... Pros about The Hunger Games : -original story -great characters -details were great...sometimes a bit too much actually -metaphorically speaking, the message I got out of this book is people are selfish and that they would do anything to survive, and while this isn't a great message, I think it is true about people (at least quite a bit around the world...NOT all!! but quite a few) Cons about The Hunger Games : -I think my #1 c...
