Movie Night: Country Strong + Akunin



A couple of weeks ago I was able to watch these movies because I was pretty bored with my Sunday night. 

One of the things that I do to lessen the boredom is write or watch somethings. I was clearly not in the mood to write that Sunday night since tomorrow I will have to go to work and resume with my day job. Not that I'm complaining :D 

I was able to see two films that really gave me a glimpse of the life of a star and also a villain. These films are not your typical movies so expect to do a little research after watching these films :) 


The first movie that I saw was country strong which stars Tim McGraw, Gwyneth Paltrow, Leighton Meester and Garret Hedlund. This actually is about the life of a star that is having a hard time with her addiction and the pressure she feels.

This film not only talks about the star's life but also the people that surround her and what their actions affect each other.

I find this film very catchy since not a lot of us know how a star feels when they are under a lot of pressure. We can also relate to this because we can also feel pressured sometimes with our work or our lives. The ending was little more than I expected but it was a well made film.

The next film I saw is a Japanese film named Akunin or The Villain in English. I was initially interested with this film because of the male lead character. I know he looks cute. Too bad he is in his 30's but STILL he is cute haha!

The story of this film revolves around the man, Shimizu that turned bad because of an incident that happened in his life. The story has a lot of unexplored plot lines that I think will make you think more why a person turns bad. I actually felt bad for Shimizu since he became bad because he was provoked.

I generally liked these films because they had made a mark on my system to think out of the box or to step into someone's shoes to know how they feel.

That's it for today's post!

My addictions: My cute yet ferocious dog named John

Shocking isn't it? haha!  Let me introduce to you my dog named John. Believe it or not he had a brother named Lloyd... get it John and Lloyd. Blame my mom for their names LOL But besides from that he is one peculiar kind of dog. He has a mannerism to act adorable one minute but turn annoying after another.  He has been with us for like 5 years or longer. He is a mix of Labrador and Pitbull.  I took that photo a couple of days ago when I was in a trigger happy mode. I took pictures of my niece and my nephew, our newly renovated house and of course my pets. I was actually asking him to look at me and when he did he suddenly yawn. And that is how I had that shot.  He is actually a really nice dog, he is a bit territorial but most dogs are like that. He actually likes my Labrador Retriever named Georgia. I'll let you meet Georgia next time. ^_^ Much Love!  Alice

Product Review: iColor Hair Dye Shampoo

Image
Hello lovelies!  Since the start of the year I told myself I will change my looks more and test things since I am not getting any younger so experimenting would definitely be on top of my list.  With that I've actually started with my hair. I have already gone blonde although that was a little hard to maintain since I remember being told to go back after a number of weeks to have my roots done but never seem to do it because  1. The salon I got it done was quite far from my place.  2. Its still expensive 3. It would damage my hair tremendously I still have qualms about getting my hair colored again professionally so I asked my mom if its much better if I color it myself - she said yes but gave me the low down on the things I have to do...remembering all those information was a toughie but I was able to get a simpler solution with it - this hair dye shampoo~  My mom discovered this actually and asked me to try it on my hair since she knows I need to cove
