Today's Special: Austenland - Movie Review

Today I will be talking about the movie Austenland. I personally, am not a Jane Austen fanatic, but I do enjoy the Victorian era. The movie reminded me of a book I once loved called: Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler. Although they are completely different - they have a small similar aspect, which is having our modern world mixed with the Jane Austen era.

I give this movie a 3.5 / 5 rating for a Rom-com because it wasn't that bad - nor was it fantastic and here's why:
  • Austenland is about a woman named Jane Hayes whose a Jane Austen fanatic. Realizing that her life is going no where she takes a retreat to Austenland - a world where you can live like the characters of Jane Austen's novels. As she experiences this new world she realizes that living her fantasy may not be as fun as she expected. 
First of all, I had to watch this movie twice. The first time I watched it, I didn't really pay attention. It was just there as I was thinking about my own life. Although I recall this movie as being 'meh', as I was cleaning out my hard drive (and had nothing to do), I gave it one more try. In which I do not regret.
I'm not really good at

Today's Special: Love Sick / Love Phobia (戀愛恐慌症) Review

      If you've watched In Time with You and you just can't get over it yet... Love sick is here for you! (: Thank god the DVD stores had them out. It's wonderful. Funny and has a hint of romance in it. Most of all I get to see my most beloved couple from In Time With You ALL OVER AGAIN! (: Here is the poster: 
 From their expressions you can tell it's suppose to be funny. The story of this movie is really simple. I think a lot of us might live her way.

Today's Special: Drama and Movie Recommendations

      I haven't been blogging here at all and I'm sorry. As you can tell from my previous blog that I've joined Tumblr and my short entries are there. But my recaps are here. I haven't been watching Ouran High school Host Club Live action, but instead I'm watching Myeong Wol the Spy and Protect the boss. I won't be recapping those because they're of the Korean category and there are better recapping sites out there for Korean Dramas.
      If you follow me or just check out my Tumblr you can follow with what I do but I don't post any recaps there. What I have been currently doing that I haven't posted on Tumblr would be trying out Guitar and the violin. I can play the C scale on the violin (not that good though) and currently trying to play the Banmal song by Yonghwa and Seohyun from WGM (CN.Blue and SNSD)

Since I haven't been recapping I can at least tell you what's good to watch currently! As to dramas and movies here's a list:

Extended Special: Death Game Park - Recap?

I have a lot to say lately... LOL!
I just finished an old movie called Death Game Park. when I mean just finished. I mean I really JUST finished it. and I recommend it to people looking for a thriller. No blood what so ever so if you're into gore I'm sorry. There isn't much of it. Only like 3 scenes I think? But there's tons of hitting and dying - just you won't see the dying happening half the time. Here's a photo of the main of this movie:
There isn't much info about this movie around so if you're looking for a better summary / recap of this movie you'd better be looking hard! This movie was actually originated from a 24 episode thing. Each episode was like... 4 - 6 minutes since it was a phone viewed show. Never was it broadcasted on TV. The people in it aren't very known but still they're known. I actually came across this by wiki-ing the cast of Rebound and Asuko March! Aibu and Tori are in it so it was def watch for me. The rest of the dudes and girls... I don't know them. So here's the start of a very rough recap.
