Guardians of the Galaxy, non-spoiler review!


Hello darlings and today I'll just let you know how much I enjoyed the new marvel movie, Guardians of the Galaxy starring Chris Pratt, Zoƫ Saldana, Dave Batista, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel. The most anticipated movie of the summer exceeded my expectations, and to be quite honest, it IS THE summer movie favorite. Loved each character of the amazing outlaws, and the actors have a fantastic chemistry that you can't stop smiling about and laughing of course during the whole movie. The plot is of course saving the galaxy, but the way they did it is the thing that will have you hooked. Please do yourself a favor and watch this A+ movie. NOW. Until the next post lovelies!

July's favorites! (TV, comic con & music).

Hello, darlings, so here's to things I've been loving this month, so it will be a long-ish post including different areas of entertainment, so prepare yourselves. Since this past weekend, I cannot take this specific song out of my head, so let's start with music, because I'm also anxious to let you know of different band/singers I've fallen in love and/or I can't stop listening to.
First of all, Sam Smith, but I truly fell in love with Latch, the song he's featured with the DJ's called Disclosure. I cannot take that song out my head, so I've been truly addicted to it, no joke. I had to buy the song and all.

 
I've also been listening to Bastille a lot, maybe because their new music video "Oblivion" starring Game of Thrones' Sophia Turner got out recently online and the song is one of my favorites of their recent album. All This Blood is a great album and Bastille is truly talented so check them out!
 

 
Vancouver Sleep Clinic is another band I haven't stopped listening to their album. (I get addicted to music guys, it's my weakness to be honest). Their album Winter EP is so great, that the band also knows how great I think they are. They tweeted me recently, because they favorited a tweet that mentioned them because I was listening to their album on Spotify, and I asked them if that was their twitter account so they replied with:
 
 
To hear more of them, since they practically are a new group whom I recognized from the TV show Teen Wolf, they need a huge fandom, because come on, they are amazing, so here is my favorite song.
 

 
NOW TO TELEVISION.... as you might know, this past weekend was the annual San Diego Comic Con, and that event, the panels, everything destroyed me (in a good way) and I didn't even attend. Many of my favorite shows had panels and celebrities who I love had their shining moments and I truly loved watching videos and pictures, etc. of everything. To not make this post longer that it should; here are my favorite panels, that you should truly watch, please do! & favorite tv trailers for upcoming tv seasons and/or new shows/movies + interviews. (click on the links to watch the videos).

Jane Austen & Other Period Adaptations: Movies & TV.

Hello to all of you, lovely readers and I've been planning to write this post dedicated to Jane Austen movies and period movies & series I've watched like a marathon since last weekend. I've been a fan of Jane Austen since I was in high school and I can truly say that even if she was from the 19th century, she knew what romance and love meant. Her novels are an inspiration to me.
My favorite books from Jane Austen are Emma and Pride & Prejudice, world wide known stories that have been adapted many times on TV and on the big screen. Here's a list of adaptations I've seen this week and I've absolutely fell in love! Others I've seen before and I'll let you know through the list.



Emma (2009): a mini-series adaptation of the novel Emma with four episodes; first time watching it, beautiful and the cast is amazing. If you watch British TV, you could recognize Jonny Miller as Mr. Knightley, Blake Ritson as Mr. Elton (which also starred in Mansfield Park as Edmund Bertram) and Rimola Garai as Emma Woodhouse. Emma is about this rich and beautiful girl called Emma Woodhouse who loves to be a matchmaker and befriends a girl named Harriet whom she wants to set up with Mr. Elton and we get to see the consequences about this adventure. Mr. Knightley is her brother in law who is also a very dear friend to her and how their growing care for each other transforms into something deep and more beautiful.

 
Emma (1996): the only difference is the cast and since it's a movie adaptation from the big screen and some details aren't shown on the movie like the BBC adaptation, but a really good performance by Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeremy Northam as our Mr. Knightley and Emma Woodhouse. I've watched it three times and I'm in love with it, one of my favorite movies.


Northanger Abbey (2007): TV movie adaptation of Austen's Northanger Abbey, which I haven't read... yet. Starring JJ Feild (one of my current British actor crushes) and Felicity Jones (love her face she's pretty! from Like Crazy) as Catherine Morlan & Henry Tinsley. Catherine is a big fan of books, specially mystery ones, and she lives in her imagination so when she meets Tinsley, she's intrigued about his late mother's true story behind her death and obviously the story of true love.

 
Sense & Sensibility (1995): Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman star in this masterpiece and I truly will let the trailer speak for itself, because I have no words for how magnificent this adaptation of these sisters and their lives and how love has affected them in ways we can relate to.
 

 
Until next post lovelies, there will be a second part for this post SOON!

Summer hobby: Movie watching! Films recs!

Hello to all of you! I'm here to write to you the latest films I've watched and basically they all are my new favorite films except one who didn't quite cut it, but I shall write here what I think of each of these 4 films, and why do you have to love them too, or at least consider to watch them anytime soon.

The Grand Budapest Hotel: beautiful, majestic, tragic and wonderful piece by my favorite film director Wes Anderson. He did it again. I can't start by what I loved of this film, because the actors, and the filmography or photography always are the ones who literally make me fall in love with his films. This time it was literally the story, the plot, the scenography, the actors, every little detail of this movie. Old fashioned and beautiful, just do yourself a favor and watch this fantastic movie.

 
Leon: The Professional: It has been on my film list forever, and I finally had the guts to sit and watch it. I'm not a huge fan of those films where violence is the main plot in a movie, but this one is such a huge breakthrough for me. Never in my entire life I would ever prefer to love this movie so much, more than movies I've said I'd love before. This movie stars Jean Reno and Natalie Portman, and this relationship stars after Mathilda's family has been killed by a gang of corrupt officers led by Gary Oldman's character, which is a really terrifying villain, so later, Leon and Matilda have this unique relationship and you just literally can't get enough of. Prepare yourselves for encountering every emotion you have because this movie will forever be fantastic in its way.
 
 
Scoop: a movie by Woody Allen, starring himself, Scarlett Johansson and Hugh Jackman. I thought to myself, okay well let's give it a try since those actors and that director are a top A team. I was slightly wrong about it. I didn't love it that much because in reality the movie wasn't good, it had plot holes or script holes, sometimes the plot was really not quite good as half as the movie was going. Not really an intelligent movie from Woody Allen, so I didn't enjoy it as I thought I would, but here's the trailer and if you ever get to watch, leave your comments below about it.
 
 
Funny Face: AUDREY HEPBURN IN PARIS, A FASHION ICON AND HER ICONIC DANCE IN THE FRENCH CLUB, FRED ASTAIRE AND THEY ARE A COUPLE AND IT'S A MUSICAL, AND PARIS OKAY. Enough said. I'm in love with this movie, and you should forever watch it. New on Netflix and I hope it stays forever there.
 
 
Until next time, lovelies! Enjoy the films!
