There are a handful of moments in books and movies that strike my heart, mind, and sympathies unflinchingly. Generally these are moments characterized by some sort of passionate overflow of emotion or thought. One such scene happens to be in my favorite movie, The Last of the Mohicans, a story about a dying era and... Continue Reading →
Inception is one of those movies that's either met with a groan or a grin - or both. The groan because - wow - multi layered dreams are confusing, or a grin because - wow - multi layered dreams are confusing. Yes, I know I gave the same reason for both. Really, the grin or... Continue Reading →
Summer always comes with relief, but this June seems much more relaxing than any other has been. I've done lots of reading (surprise, surprise), crossed a couple movie off my never ending to-be-watched list, caught up on Gilmore Girls, done some writing, and laid around doing absolutely nothing.

Summer in all its chlorine scented, air conditioned, peach hued, iced coffee glory is finally here. Finally. I almost don't believe it. This was my first afternoon without obligations and I kept thinking to myself, 'don't I have algebra homework?'

Ah, Guernsey. This is one of those books/movies that feels like a warm hug from someone wearing a large and soft knit sweater. Something about it is just so cozy and nice. I'd forgotten about Guernsey, but then something (I don't remember what... probably pinterest) brought it to my attention and I rewatched this delightful little... Continue Reading →
*sighs heavily* This movie makes me sad. Not because it was a sad story (which it was) but because I had such high hopes (like Mount Everest high) and they were all dashed to pieces. When I first saw the trailer for Cold War, I was floored. That trailer was, and still is, one of... Continue Reading →
April is here? Already? Months used to drag on endlessly when I was little and now I blink and the month is already gone. It seems the older you get the faster time moves. Movies The Notebook This actually was my first time seeing this (I know, I know, what a shameful teenage girl I... Continue Reading →
