Having a break from school leaves a lot of room for...well, everything else! That plus the fact that I didn't have wifi for last week's Weeklies means I have a lot lined up for this one. Shall we begin? Food: Chinese takeout. So convenient for lazy days, and it will literally last you days. Film: As … Continue reading (#15) Weeklies
Fresh Off The Boat
It is that time of semester again. All my assignments except for one are due within the next two weeks. My past three days have been completely packed. I've been busy and I will be busy for a little while longer. That's why I've been blogging less. Hopefully things will go back to normal around … Continue reading Fresh Off The Boat

Today wasn't bad. Woke up at 9:07 for a 9am tutorial which the tutor didn't show up for, felt horrible for an hour and a half, cancelled on a friend, then I went back to sleep and slept until 3-something. And I had spaghetti for dinner. Yup. That was pretty much my whole day. Sleep … Continue reading (#13) Weeklies

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
It was great! Five stars! Hilarious action-comedy! Oh, wait—it's not supposed to be a comedy? But what about the uber-long closeups of people staring dramatically? One. After. Another. The so-cheesy-it-can-only-be-on-purpose final deathbed speeches? The lack of a decent plot line...? Oh. Okay. Nevermind then. I can't believe after sitting through hours of Peter Jackson movies, I … Continue reading The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

I feel like I should apologize for my "review" of Big Hero 6. A whole year of Film Studies and all I could come up with is "it's awesome". But it really was. In comparison, I saw the latest Hobbit movie last night (yes, Christmas Night) and...well, you'll get to read about that when I … Continue reading (#3) Weeklies!
Big Hero 6
Awesome movie. Awesome, awesome, awesome movie. If you plan to watch it, DO NOT LEAVE THE THEATRE UNTIL THE CREDITS HAVE ENDED! There's a scene at the end and my brother, dad, two other audience members, and I were the only ones to see it. And it's really good. I knew before seeing it that … Continue reading Big Hero 6

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1
Wednesdays I will write about things like TV shows, films, books, websites, YouTube channels, or anything else I happen to be into on any given week. I happened to see The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 in theatres today. It’s difficult to make a film based on a book with such a large … Continue reading The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1
