Restaurant review

La Serena has many nice places to eat, some of them are very elegant, other with a nice atmosphere, but it all depends on your own preferences. The last place I went to was Livepool, at the beach, it is a nice sandwich place, where you can enjoy tasty and big hamburgers with a good quality and a convenient price. The atmosphere is very relaxed, in fact it has a terrace right in front of the beach.
What is your favorite place? Why do you like it?

Movie reviews

Movie reviews are quite useful when you are not sure about a movie, they can provide information and help you decide whether seeing or not seeing a movie. The last movie I saw was a romantic drama called Pride and prejudice, it was a very good movie, well filmed and acted, but very slow. The plot is the usual story about a couple that starts their relation with some problems due to their families, society and time. A very good movie, but I don't really like, I wouldn't see it again......
