Today I saw, for the first time, Me before you. I had not watched it before because it seemed like it would be one of those movies which you fall in love with the character and then something tragic happens, but another writer recommended it to me for help with my book. I was looking for … Continue reading Be positive and don’t lose hope

I want to start by saying that I might have some nightmares of bombs exploding tonight after seeing Dunkirk, in the front row, on IMAX. I should have expected there were going to be a lot of explosions during a war movie where they rescue 300,000 men from a war zone, because that's what the … Continue reading Dunkirk

When I said I wanted to be a writer many people told me "you're gonna be broke", you wont find a job", "te vas a morir de hambre" (you're gonna go hungry).

Just in case, if you have seen the new Beauty and the Beast but have seen the original, 1991 animated version, don't worry, there are no spoilers here. If you haven't seen the 1991 or 2017 version I must insist that you go watch both movies, 1991 first, then 2017. With that said, I am … Continue reading Tale as old as Time
I can't wait for March 16! Why? Because on March 16, the remake of Beauty and the Beast comes to theaters in Puerto Rico. Yay! Yes, this is the child in me speaking, not María but full on Kiki (my nickname and a some times I feel like it's kind of the child in me, … Continue reading Looking forward to “Beauty and the Beast”
I saw the trailer for a happy movie, a musical, a comedy, a romance, no violence, no killing, no war, the kind of movie that just gets you away from the real world, with Ryan Gosling. We have him in a musical, that is both comedy and romantic, do I need to say anything else? … Continue reading La La Land
Well, first of all I want to wish my older brother a very happy birthday. (You still haven't said anything about your gift. I'm waiting. Did you like it???)

This movie takes place right before the beginning of Episode One and we see some familiar characters. The crowd went wild every time … Continue reading Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
It was a weird feeling, being in a full movie theatre and hearing that opening music again. We went back into the Wizarding World for the ninth time, but this time we went back in time to 1926 in New York City. We were not going to Hogwarts and we weren't in England, it was … Continue reading Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them
A usual Friday, I spent the whole day thinking I would go to the gym after my parents came home from work, but as soon as my mom came home she said she wanted to go to the movies.
