Since it’s already past midnight, I have to say that I watched 127 Hours yesterday and it’s probably one of the few films that I’ve seen that made me believe about the power to change ones destiny, and the first movie to show that life do offer us a choice sometimes…the choice to live or [...]

There are some things in life that you just don’t regret doing or experiencing. I was asked before and if I am asked again, I would always suggest with enthusiasm that the best way to see America is by land – to drive miles and miles on smooth paved highways and the unsurpassed way to [...]

Now imagine those cowboy movies you’ve watched. This place is probably the best true to life example of a Wild West town located in the valley of the American Rockies where everything cowboy comes to life.
