Let's Chat Movies!
I'm in the romantic period drama mood this week as I've been listening to the beautiful scores for Pride & Prejudice, Belle (one of my top 10 scores of 2014)... and this one. Though I wasn't as enamored as I would have with Far From The Madding Crowd (due to the Tom Sturridge miscasting as Troy), I actually want to …

I have to admit the first time I heard about this novel was a few years ago when Richard Armitage's character in the Christmas edition of Vicars of Dibley mentioned this Thomas Hardy's novel as his favorite.

The Happy and Glorious 2012 Olympics have come to a rocking end earlier today with a celebration of British pop-culture. Just because the Olympics is over though, doesn't mean the London appreciation has to. The UK capital is one of my favorite city I have been blessed to visit. Now for Part II, I decided …

One of my new year resolutions this year is to read more. Currently I'm still trying to finish up Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, which is quite challenging, but I'm determined to get through the whole thing. The next one I'll be tackling on is The Great Gatsby. I don't know why but ever since I …
Hi all, can I just say for the record that I LOVE Twitter!! I get most of my news from there and it keeps me informed even when I'm out and about on holiday... and in turn I can also inform folks of what's going on right at that very second something is happening (i.e. …
