Ramses IV

I was really excited, I mean, noone travels to Egypt at this time of world economic crisis. I was luckily invited by a friend who has a lot of money because of the company she has.
I've always wanted to study Egyptology, since I was a little child I dramed with Horus, Osiris and Tutankamon Pharaoh who has mystic leyends and curses.
When we arrived, the turistic guide was waiting for us in those pretty touristic buses, but the Egipcian people weren't very friendly in there andt the heating was awful, but bearable. Afterwards, we arrived near to the famous pyramids. While the man was talking, we managed to slip away into the crowd... I had never seen anything more amazing! the inside was great. We had only been walking in there for some 20 minutes when we heard a noise inside a tumb, we were so scared that we ran out, but a man stopped us and told us the story of that old Pharao Ramses IV who was a tyrant with his people and just wanted to get out of his toumb to take revenge of his dead.
As soon as we heard that, we went to look for the tour guide (who was really hard to find) and asked if the story was true, when he confirm it, we were really scared.
We didn't give a step closer from that thing, because the fright was intense.
We of course enjoy and travel arround all the wonders of Egypt, but we didn't get to close to that pyramid again...

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind



The movie is called "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and the plot it's quite dificult to undestand, even when you see it. It's a romatic comedy.

It's about Joel, a lonely man who impulsively decides to begin a train trip to a unknown station. There, he meets Clementine, an impulsive woman.
But everything that this film presents as obvious, it really has an unexpected undercurrent and you can realize every second that they know each other in another time.
Actually, after a long relationship and so many differences, Clementine had decided to broke up with him and visit a Doctor to erase her memory and memories about Joel.
When he finds out that Clementine doesn't recognize him, he decides to give himself in to a brain wash too.
During that process, Joel regrets of his decision and decides to escape with Clementine inside their youngest memories so he can not forget her.
In the cast there are Jim Carrey as Joel and Kate Winslet as Clementine, as main Characters.

This movie has especial effects but as an ilusion more than make a big creation.
It's soundrack (the main song) is from Beck and it's call "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometimes"
It's really mixed up and maybe you will have to see it twice... but it's really worth it. I think that the best of this movie is esch person can learn something from differents points of view, from life, from love, from human relationships, etc.
