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...

In Between Seasons

Soo Hyun and Yong Joon, the lead characters that are extremely precious Short summary of the movie: Two guys (Soo Hyun and Yong Joon) develop a bond together until it becomes stronger. Soo Hyun gets into a car accident and Yong Joon has to endure the hardship of their loved one in a coma - with a really unpleasant mother.   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. Watching this movie taught me a lot of values; Patience being one of them. I think the movie was beautiful in it own way with both characters performing extremely well. It was immersive and yet, quite sad in my opinion. It's realistic and you'll develop a bond with the characters. They definitely make you feel like you're a part of them and that you're going through their journey.  Precious little beans, Yong Joon backhugging Soo Hyun The ending is open to in...

Strange Weather in Tokyo - Hiromi Kawakami

Short summary of the book: A 40 year old woman acquaints herself with a 70 year old man, alcohol forms their relationship and they - awkwardly and formally - fall in love with each other. 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 - in my opinion - is a book for everyone, but majorly directed at middle-aged women who are hopeless romantics or still seeking love.  I'd like to elaborate more on the summary I have given. Awkward; because the air around them usually made me feel uncomfortable. They only built their relationship over alcohol. Tons and tons of alcohol. It didn't seem sincere enough regardless of the efforts put in to attempt sincerity. They also communicated formally with each other, had abrupt and aimless qualms in which the woman, Tsukiko , became irate and so had I. The age gap was nothing, seemed like nothing fo...
