Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

My mom and I visited a musical yesterday: Mary Poppins. I LOVED IT! Such a great musical. Noortje Herlaar played Mary, she was the winner in a contest and I wasn't a fan of her when I was watching the show. But when I saw her there on stage, I realized how good she was. William Spaaij played Bert. I saw him before, in the Dutch version of Grease. I liked hem then and I liked him now. The décor was amazing. It looked like a dollhouse unfolding everytime the set changed. I can't describe it, you really have to see it for yourself. The songs were all familiar, but now in Dutch. They sounded good and catchy, just like in the movie. This musical was worth every penny and me and my mom had a great day. Here are some pictures:

The theatre in Scheveningen:



Mary & Bert (alias Noortje Herlaar & Williams Spaaij) signing after the show. They signed my photobook as well:



The first thing we said to each other after the show: What's the next musical!?!?

Best Movie Remakes

Throughout the years they made a lot of movie remakes. Especially recently filmmakers decide to remake every single movie. Even if they don't need it. Like "Halloween" and " ANightmare on Elm Street". Movies that didn't need a remake. But sometimes directors do the right thing. I made a list of remakes that were actually good and maybe even better than the original. Here they are:

[The Ring] A strong horror movie that always gives me the creeps. Naomi Watts has a beautiful mother role in it and she does everything to unravel the mystery behind that weird videotape.

[Cape Fear] A very good thriller. Robert De Niro plays his rol as th obsessive Max Cady very convincing.

[The Departed] I love this movie. Perfect casting, an intriging story and a strong ending.

[King Kong} This is one of those movies that needed a remake. Peter Jackson made a masterpiece, with again Naomi Watts in it (she's in a lot of remakes). Great action, beautiful scenes between Kong and Ann and a heartripping ending.

[Scarface] A couple of years ago I didn't even know it was a remake. Brian De Palma did a great job and Al Pacino created an iconic character with even so iconic lines ("Say hello to my little friend")

[Pride & Prejudice] The best story Jane Austen has written and this is also it's best movie. Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennett, awesome! She even got an Oscar nod for it.

[True Lies] Not to be taken very seriously, but that's what makes this movie so good. It has great humor and Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzenegger make a suprisingly fantastic duo.

Why do we love Dean Winchester?

A while ago I gave you a couple of reasons why I love the CW show "Supernatural". Well, it's a great show, but my favorite thing about the show is Dean. When I started to think things over, I came to think of a lot of reason why I love Dean Winchester so much (love him in a non- creepy way). I came up with 12 reasons. Here they are:

... because he has a good sense of humor
... because of his Impala. He could take me for a ride any time
... because he does everything to save the people he loves
... because he breaks my heart everytime he cries. I just want to cry with him
... because of his smile
... because he's a family man and an awesome big brother
... because of his ass ;)
... because of his leather jacket which looks very good on him (he also looks ridiculously good in a suit by the way)
... because he's great with kids
... because he know how to handle a gun
... because he loves rock music and when he sings along, it actually sounds good
... because he so freakin' irresistible

Next time I will make the same list, but then about my other favorite TV character: "CSI's" Nick Stokes. So, coming soon....

The first four

I started working on my Disneyland, Paris scrapbook. I have to make like 15 pages!!! I already made 4 of them, so I wanted to share them with you.

Here's the first page, where we enter the park. It's me and Irene, Evelien took the picture.



The first Disney character we walked in on, was Eeyore.



When we saw the first giftshop, we acted a little silly. But that's what Disneyland does to you. You feel like a kid again!



And then we met Rafiki, from "The Lion King". He really was into character.



So soon I will show you my other layouts. It'll be a little while, because I just ordered scrapbook paper. When they arrive, I will start working on my album again.

Clouseau Concert

Yesterday me and my mom went to see Clouseau. No, not inspector Clouseau, but the Belgium band. They had a song in the 80's and as a little kid I was a fan of that song. And I was totally in love with leadsinger Koen Wauters. Over the years they've had a lot of hits, but I never got the chance to see them live. Yesterday I finally did. And the last song was that famous hit from the 80's!!!! Here are some pictures:







And I have to say, Koen still looks good, and the concert was amazing!!!

Disneyland was great!!!

Yesterday evening I came back from Disneyland, Paris. I went three days with my friends Irene and Evelien. We had a blast!. The first two days we visited the park and the studios. The third day we made a tour trough Paris. We took a lot of pictures and here are some of mine:

Me with Eeyore:

I bought some souvenirs for my family. My mom got a keychain with Minnie Mouse, my dad a bandana with Jack Skellington and I bought my brother a Mr. Potato head. For myself I got a mug and bowl with Mike on it, from "Monster's Inc."

Soon I will post some more picture that my friend Evelien made. She made over 400 photos!!! She photographs everything!!!!
