Back?

Hey!
It has been quite a while since I've been here hasn't it?
I have been watching dramas and movies, but I have neglected to post up any reviews about them.
Since I am currently on my summer break and am unable to find an internship or a job yet, I caught up on my TV shows and have finally started to watch dramas again.
I've gotten my friend addicted, and we went back and forth texting each other what we thought of the drama "The Moon Embracing the Sun" that we thought we would start a review blog. That seems like too much a commitment since both of us would probably not keep up with it. After all, we're still students. We hope you all will enjoy reading our reviews as much as we will probably have writing them! :)

Until next time,

Toy Story 3


What about this movie that caught my attention:
Watched the first and second one when I was younger. Loved them both. I'm heading into college this "Fall". I've grown up with toys...
Why I actually finished watching this movie: I was watching it in the theaters... plus it was really good o.0;
My favorite coupling: Buzz & Jessie I suppose
Other?: Love the accent of Mr. Pricklepants and loved the Spanish Buzz xP
Grown up Andy was cute ^-^;;
Quotes:
Andy: [opens box, and takes out Jessie] This is Jessie, the roughest, toughest cowgirl in the whole west. She loves critters, but none more than her best pal, Bullseye!
[pulls out Bullseye, and makes a whinnying sound]
Andy: Yee-haw!
[holds the two tows out to Bonnie]
Andy: Here.
Bonnie: [shyly walks over, and takes Jessie and Bullseyes, a smile on her face]
Andy: [pulls out Rex] This is Rex! The meanest, most terrifying dinosaur who ever lived! RAWR! RAWR!
Bonnie: [recoils a little, but the giggles, and takes Rex too]
Andy: [pulls out Mr and Mrs Potato Head] The Potato Heads: Mr and Mrs. You gotta keep them together because they're madly in love.
[Andy sets them down in front of Bonnie, before pulling out Slinky Dog]
Andy: Now Slinky here, is as loyal as any dog you could want.
[Andy then pulls out Hamm]
Andy: And Hamm, he'll keep your money safe, but he's also one of the most dastardly villains of all time: Evil Dr Porkchop!
[Andy then places the two with their friends, before pulling out the three aliens]
Andy: These little dudes are from a strange alien world: Pizza Planet!
[Andy then sets them down before reaching into his box again]
Andy: And this, is Buzz Lightyear, the coolest toy ever! Look! He can fly, oh, and shoot lasers!
[Andy pops open Buzz's wings, and fires his laser]
Andy: He's sworn to protect the galaxy from the Evil Emperor Zurg!
Bonnie: [Bonnie takes Buzz from Andy, and presses one of the buttons on his spacesuit]
Buzz Lightyear: To Infinity, and Beyond!
Andy: Now, you gotta promise to take good care of these guys. They, mean, alot to me.

Andy: Now Woody, he's been my pal for as long as I can remember. He's brave, like a cowboy should be. And kind, and smart. But the thing that makes Woody special, is he'll never give up on you... ever. He'll be there for you, no matter what.

Andy: [taking a last look at his toys before he heads off to College] Thanks, guys.
---------------------------------------------
Molly: [Andy is climbing up the ladder to the attic to put his toys away when Molly walks out of her room carrying a box] Uh!
[a small heavy ball falls out of the box]
Andy: You need a hand?
Molly: I got it!
Andy: Here.
[he puts the ball back and picks up the box]
Andy: So, you gonna miss me when I'm gone?
Molly: If I say no, do I still get your room?
Andy: [they walk down the stairs] Nope.
Molly: Then, yes, I'll miss you.

My rating out of 10: 9.5
Short and sweet note from Sw33tPandaZ:
Alright... I didn't expect it to hit THAT close to home. I mean the whole going off to college stuff...
the ending was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING o.0; I couldn't stop crying. What I've learned from this film:
1) I didn't play with my toys enough when I was younger.
2) I should NOT donate my toys to day care centers (I should donate it to kids I know wouldn't destroy them)
3) I'm going to miss my family dearly when I head off to college... D:

Alice in Wonderland


What about this movie that caught my attention: Trailer seemed amazing & it's in 3-D! What more can you ask for?!
Why I actually finished watching this movie: I don't feel like I should even answer this question.

Other?: Mad Hatter is amazing! Bwhaha
Quotes: n/a
My rating out of 10: 8
Short and sweet note from Sw33tPandaZ:
So different from the cartoon Alice in Wonderland.

The Spellmans Strike Again

>>>>Read my reviews on the 3 previous books HERE<<<<
What about this novel that caught my attention: I've wanted to read this novel ever since it came out (On March 16th, 2010)! So glad I was able to get a hold of a copy on Amazon. I wasn't able to find it at my local Borders :(
Why I actually finished reading this novel: I can't stop reading a Spellmans novel. I mean seriously. It's just that good. It felt like the time when I was obsessed with Harry Potter. I just CAN'T STOP READING!
My favorite coupling: Henry & Izzy (hands down), but David & Maggie, Fred & Rae were pretty cute as well... xP
Other: I have new found respect and love for Henry in this novel. He started to change (for the better of course). He learned the way of the Spellmans.
Quotes

I'll add some later... it's a long list, so I am trying to narrow it down.

9
Short and sweet note from Sw33tPandaZ: I can't believe it's over. OVER! :'( I am going to miss this series oh so much. I think it will take me some time to find another book that I'll like "/ the characters grew on me way too much.

Ghost Whisperer- Implosion

Episode Review

This was the 100th episode in the series. What did I have to say about it? The short little story that was mentioned in the beginning of the episode where if you die you don't really die, you live on in the memory of everyone you've ever met was pretty cute/ cliche, but cute. The story about the ghost's father dying in Afghanistan because he stepped on the mine, but he saved his whole platoon was good as well. Pretty good episode.

I do (but I don't)

What about this movie that caught my attention: I've read the book
Why I actually finished watching this movie: It wanted to see how different it was from the novel.
My favorite coupling: Nick Corona & Lauren Crandell
Other?: n/a
Quotes: n/a

Short and sweet note from Sw33tPandaZ:
I gotta say, like most movies made from books... this movie is different from the book. Hmm what can I say? I think that Jay looks better than Nick in the movie. Haha ^-^;

Autumn's Concerto (Next stop, happiness)


What about this drama that caught my attention: I really liked the title of the drama, but I decided not to watch it... until 1/1/10 because the day before this date my neighbor recommended it to me & I was like eh why not?
Why I actually finished watching this drama: It's actually really good. I couldn't stop watching this drama because I wanted to know what would happen next. The characters were well thought out and had depth. The little child is a very good actor.
My favorite coupling:
Other?:
I still think that Jacko (Figaro Ceng) is adorable.
Episode 5- was when Guang Xi saved Mu Cheng after her foot got caught in the fishing net & when Mu Cheng confessed that she loved him & he told her that he was being a jerk and rejected her was because of his tumor
Episode 6- Date before surgery (swing kiss & photography story)
Episode 7- First showing of the Xiao Le! D'aww
Episode 10- Santa Clause story, family time, totally adorable
Quotes:
Ren Guang Xi: Once upon a time, there was a princess who was kidnapped by the devil. The devil said to her, "You can continue screaming (till you" 'lose your voice', 'nobody' is coming to save you."
And the princess started screaming, 'lose your voice! lose your voice!'
Do you know who came?
Liang Mu Cheng: Who?
Ren Guang Xi: 'Nobody' came. There was a man called 'Nobody'. Because the princess shouted, 'lose your voice,' so just like what the devil said, 'Nobody' came. He came to save the princess.
Liang Mu Cheng: That's so lame.
Ren Guang Xi: I'm not just trying to make you laugh. What I want to say is, if you come across any danger in the future, you don't need to scream until you lose your voice. You just need to call out the name, Ren Guang Xi, and I will come to save you.
-----------
Xiao Le to Mu Cheng (episode 15 pt6):
You adults are the strangest animal in this whole wide world *pat Mu Cheng on the head*
--------
Mu Cheng: 6 years ago...I truly love you. This is what I had hidden from you for 6 years...an unspoken promise. If I told you, I love you, can you, for this reason, stay?
Guang Xi: I will leave...if you ever let go of my hand again.

My rating out of 10:
Short and sweet note from Sw33tPandaZ:
This drama reminds me of Prince Who Turns into a Frog (buying village, forgetting love), My Lucky Star (little kid, and 5/6 years later thing) & Fated to Love you (changing over time) all mixed into one drama. This drama has made me cry too much, but the tears were worth it. There were so many conflicts that arises in this drama, it didn't seem like all of it could be solved in the end. Xiao Le is adorable. He says he wisest thing ever and he has so many tricks up his sleeves.
Fantastic ending to an utterly amazing drama.
