My favorite movie


Greetings! Today I’m going to talk about my favorite movie.  It is a very important movie to me because it represents part of my twisted childhood, I first watched in 2005 I think, in my house. It is called “The Nightmare before Christmas”(1993) directed by Henry Selick and produced by the famous Tim Burton (He isn’t the director but people usually think he is). Also the music was made by Danny Elfman, a talented composer and singer. In fact, in the movie he provides the singing voice of the main character.

The Nightmare before Christmas is one of the first stop motion film (This means that the characters and the scenarios were made in real life with a lot of materials and manipulated objects, but they appear to move by they own thanks to a sequence of photography’s).

What is this movie about? The plots centers in a Halloween world and in Christmas world.  Cute citizens (vampires, monsters, creepy dolls, witches, etc.) work all the year to prepare the scariest holiday ever: Halloween. They have a leader, “The pumpkin king” who is the king of the town. His name is Jack Skellington and he is a living skeleton.  He is tired of the same routine every year and one day in the graveyard he gets into the wood and he finds a portal to the Christmas world. Fascinated with all the things that he saw in that new world, he returns to his world and tries to create his own Christmas usurping the role of Santa, provoking a real chaos in both worlds.

Why do I like the movie? I love the esthetic of the film, the cuteness and love in the characters and the entire plot.  This film taught to me a lot of beautiful things about fears, dreams and the true meaning of love. Exceptional soundtrack too!


I really recommended … hope you like it!

OMG THE BEST PICTURE EVA!

Greetings! Today I’m going to show you the best picture ever! It’s a “selfie” taken by me with a notebook two years ago. I think it was in vacations, I don’t remember well.  The best of this photograph is not the photo itself, the funny thing is what happened to this picture after being taken… But not that fast! I’m going to tell you in a minute everything you need to understand this magic moment…

What is this about?  You may ask. Well, my friends and I wanted to participate in the cast of the Hobbit (The new Peter Jackson movies), but we needed to send a picture of us characterizing the main character of The Lord of the Rings (A Dwarf called Gimli, an Elf called Legolas, a Human called Aragorn and a wizard called Gandalf) with all the costumes and stuffs. We didn’t have enough money for that, so we used our imagination to find a solution.

That’s right! The magic of MS paint (the virtual program) strikes again! We “photoshopped” the picture and we created the most beautiful art work, worthy of an Academy award (Best visual effect, make up, soundtrack (?) and motion picture of course). But our art was misunderstood and we were humiliated (with many memes). However, with our magical powers we took revenge and now we controlled all the industries of Hollywood and Photoshop… Actually not, we don’t care about the trolls and until today we expect Peter Jackson to respond.



(None of this is real, but please don’t tell to my fans)


So, this is the story of my favorite picture! Hope you like it! Enjoy

To Hogwarts! (Places I'd like to visit)

Hello wizards and witches! Today I’m going to talk about THE place I’d like to visit. Please take a sit and enjoy this magical journey to the best place in the world (or fictional world if you are a “mature”-boring- person). That’s right; we are going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a British school for magic students created by J.K Rowling for the Harry Potter’s books.

Where is Hogwarts located? Well… if you are a wizard/witch you can find this huge medieval castle somewhere in Scotland (but if you are just a muggle –non magical person-… sorry, you will never be able to see it)

Why do I want to go there? Is obviously. I am a witch and I want to learn new magical spells, create powerful potions, transform things, and defend myself against the dark arts…

Just kidding... Actually, it  is a beautiful place, with a loch called The Black Lake and a dangerous forest with magical creatures called The Forbidden forest. Also it has extensive grounds and other outbuildings, like Hagrid’s house. But the best of all is the full size Quidditch pitch! (Quidditch is the most important sport in this world).

I would like to go with my best friend Camila, because she is the best witch in the world! She has a powerful nordic dragon and a time turner. Indeed... we must go soon to Diagon Alley to buy our list of supplies: a lot of potions, a cauldron, spell books, a wand, and owl, our tunics, etc. before school starts (We were admitted in Hogwarts this year J)

We are going to travel in September 1st (that day the classes begin) but we need time to arrive early, because we have to take a plane from Santiago to London and then we have to board the Hogwarts express from platform 9 ¾ in King’s cross station. The train leaves at 11 o’clock so, we can’t be late! The train leaves us in a town near Hogwarts called Hogsmeade. If you are and old student, you have to take a carriage pulled by Thetrals (a magical invisible horse) but if you are in your first year, a key’s keeper will guide you to a boat and you will be able to cross the lake. Both ways will take you to the entrance of the castle. 

So this is it… I hope to see you there too! Maybe we will be classmates! I would like to be with you in the same house (Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff or Slytherin).

Goodbye! Finite Incantatem!
