Grum (A Children’s Book): From a Commoner’s View

As I have promised author Robyn Hill (sorry it took me so long), here is my complete review of her pre-teen book entitled “Grum”.  First, I have to say that reading this book has sadly made me realize that despite my conviction not to lose the child in me, I somehow have “grown up”. So reading this cute children’s tale had also been a journey for the child in me to come out once again and appreciate the little things that truly matters.  The silliness that make us giggle and laugh out loud, even if it’s just nonsense blabber.

On that note, I‘ll have the adult in me to go first in rating this story and its technical aspects (For better understanding, please read my previous blogs: SheBlogger as a Reviewer II and SheBlogger as aReviewer ‘I’).  

CarloMen – A Light that Makes the Stars Shine Brighter

No, this is not about nebulas, nuclear fusions, or astronomy.  This is about movies and actors and what makes them shine brighter.  

Whenever we see a movie and find it to our liking, we remember the actors. We remember the characters they play. And we even remember their lines. Sometimes we like a movie for the visual effects, the vibrance and brilliance of colors. But most of the time, we do not even realize this.  And even when we do, we don’t care to know who’s responsible for such spectacular feast for the eyes.  Yes, we sometimes credit it to the director and make a mental note of the name. But the director is but one among the other directors involved in making one film. Yes, he’s the captain of the ship but the ship won’t sail smoothly without the leadership of others in the different aspects of a movie.
