Wednesday: I've seen Speed Racer. The only thing I gave thumbs up was the faithfulness to the anime characters' looks.


Thursday: Finished my last final exam and Prince Caspian premiered early so I saw it with . I loved it. The 4 kids were now more accustomed to their characters. Caspian himself was amazingly gorgeous! The intrigues inside the Telmarine kingdom, especially with Miraz reminded me of Hamlet and recent Tudor era flicks I've seen!!

The animals: Aslan is such a beautiful lion!

Reepicheep the mouse(voiced by comedian Eddie Izzard)was amusing!(Lol he doesn't like to be called "cute" Beware he's a good swordsman!

Even though the movie had some things that the book didn't have, it was enjoyable.



Friday: The Spanish play "Penas de Amor Prohibido" premiered. We did such a good job on it. It was a total Naturalistic play combined with comedy that parodies our social corruptions, experimenting the most deep crudeness of reality. Representing the everyday idiocrasy are the aestetic morbid but rarely confy life created by "Reggaeton music"(No lie, even though it has a catchy rhythm, it mainly degrades women) and the modern soap operas(telenovelas) that give a bad influence.(For example: "IF YOU LEAVE ME, I'LL KILL(YOU OR MYSELF)""). Even though people in the audience laughed during the play, they should know that this play is really scandalous and cruel(with all the shootings that were done), and we yet laugh about it! That is why we do theater: to think, to open our eyes to what's going on as told by our director.

Our run ends in June 1st.
