The 10 Year Plan


I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It was extremely amusing seeing someone get rejected a million times. It brought some confidence to me in some way.

Short summary of the film: Two guys, cop and lawyer, make a truce to date each other if they cant find partners for themselves in 10 years time.

I'm not doing any sort of review that explains the whole premise and plot etc, I'm just voicing my opinions on the movie. For this, I might as well add that there might be spoilers.

I think we all knew from the get-go that they were going to be together. I mean, a sexy cop and a stern lawyer? It’s a juicy story. It was light-hearted and well-paced but the only downside to it was that it was utterly and completely predictable.


Look at this picture and tell me if you think anything else than all three of these guys having a sexual relation to one another. And you're not wrong. 

Was that what they wanted us to think? Throughout the entire movie I sat chanting “Just bloody date already!” but maybe it’s just me. For example:

There was a scene, where they held hands at the lawyer’s house (I couldn’t bother to look up their names right now) and the cop appreciated the living shit out of him.



 My heart yearned for them to just get a move on. I mean who else will appreciate a pushy, fast-moving, hopeless romantic lunatic than their own best friend that they might as well date in 10 years? * scoffs * predictable.

And to add to it, I think it was selfish of the cop to just sleep around while watching his friend make a muck of himself. But that is sole opinion on character development. Any normal person would ask their so-called best friend for improvement advice or to be a wing man of sorts than to leave him speed dating and dumped all the time.

but what do I know


Enough complaining. It was a great movie, the plot twist (where the cop bangs the lawyer’s “boyfriend”) and ending were predictable but it was what we wanted. Some drama and a great ending. I would recommend it to all hopeless romantics because it really makes you smile.

here's a lil' smooch that was pretty darn cute

Cry Me A Sad River (Movie)

Doesn't this look extremely dramatic? I absolutely love it. Short summary of the movie: A poor girl named Yi Yao is bullied to the extent where she cannot take it anymore.   I'm not doing any sort of review that explains the whole premise and plot etc, I'm just voicing my opinions. For this, I might as well add that  there might be spoilers. Yi Yao  This would definitely be on my top 10 list. I have rarely been on the edge of my seat for movies, but this movie did itself justice. It wasn't too depressing - there were moments of lightheartedness and warmth as well for a 'tragedy' genre  movie.  For the extremely soft-hearted it might be a tear-jerker but nothing came for me. What I will admit is that the movie made me experience many emotions and the beauty of it. You can feel and bond with the characters and what they endure. Bullying is a great way to show the seriousness of one's actions. Left to Right: Annoying bitch, even worse as...

Man's Search for Meaning - Viktor E. Frankl

Short summary of the book: Viktor E. Frankl describes his journey for the struggle of survival in an Auschwitz concentration camp during the Holocaust as well as finding hope and greater meaning in our lives. I'm not doing any sort of review that explains the whole premise and plot etc; I'm just voicing my opinions. For this, I might as well add that there might be spoilers. There are over 10 pages that I bookmarked with quotes that I can carry through my life. This book did not teach me the actual meaning of life in the sense to find it, but in knowing that it exists. Through his autobiographical journey we are taken into the holocaust and his experiences in it. He was in a concentration camp in Auschwitz as well as doctoring those who fell ill and were dying. Through his experience I could really empathize with his feelings. In such unbearably dark times he found strength in spirit. I think just saying ‘strength in spirit’ is a bit weak to suffice how ...

26 Years

From left to right: Joo-Ahn, head of private security firm; Mi-Jin, sports shooter; Jin-Bae, gangster and Gap-Sae, businessman. Short summary of the movie: A sports shooter, gangster, cop, head of a private security firm and a businessman gather together to assassinate the orchestrator of the 1980 Gwangju massacre. All have their own motives to kill him. I'm not doing any sort of review that explains the whole premise and plot etc, I'm just voicing my opinions. For this, I might as well add that there might be spoilers . This movie broke me. It tore my heart out of my chest and pulled all the strings to torture me further. It was beautiful, immersive and tragic. I loved every bit of it and it yanked at my tear ducts. I was really emotionally wounded after this movie. I just felt like I should sit there and let everything that happened sink in. In the beginning, they constructed an animation of the massacre and what these five people traumatically had to go ...
