Today is day 2 of the Shadowhunters discussion, and we are going to talk about the movie that showed during 2013.  Yesterday, I discussed the book and if you want to see that before diving into this, you can click here. For this post, I will not go on and on about how it was not loyal to the source material (a.k.a. book), because it is just a movie adaptation. These kinds of things do not necessarily have to be extremely accurate to the original story. The movie is based on the book, and it is not the book. In my opinion, movie adaptations are all right just as long as they can still make a good story. Yes, I am looking at you Percy Jackson movies. Anyway, I just watched the film again last night and I have a lot to say about it.

When I heard that this movie was going to happen, I had my reservations. Then the casting news came, and all I could do was nod. And then the production designs were teased, my eyes gleamed for a moment. Finally, the trailer and pictures came, and I became even more excited. The movie looked aesthetically good so I couldn’t wait to see it in theaters. And guess what? I did, and did I like it? Well…

New Yolk Times: Thoughts on SHADOWHUNTERS

Hello! I am here with another New Yolk Times post for you and today I am going to discuss the series that I've been waiting for, Shadowhunters. As some of you know, The Mortal Instruments series has been rebooted as a TV series on ABC Fami--- I mean, Freeform. So the plot is basically the same as the one you read in the book or seen in the movie. 

To be honest, I was not looking forward to this. Yes, I got excited until I learned ABC Fa--- I mean, Freeform has decided to adopt the show. The promos to me were not too flattering but I was ok with the casting choices. And when I saw the pilot episode I gotta say... I was surprisingly okay with it.
