Another Update..

Just a quick update on life: We ended up moving to Texas at the beginning of October, which means I quit my awful job in California where I did nothing all day long except blog about movies I've seen. Not like I do much else here in Texas since I don't currently have a job yet, but I'd rather sleep and watch TV than blog. But the husband is at work today, so I might as well catch up.Blue Streak (PG-13)- Martin LawrenceFirst of all, I really hate...

230 Forest Avenue

Last weekend, my husband's aunt, uncle, and cousin came into town to visit. Actually, they were on their way to San Diego to drop off the cousin at college, but stopped to visit with family for awhile. Everyone decided to take them down to Laguna Beach to show them around and just have a relaxed day by the beach and boardwalk. Although it was super hot, it was a nice and enjoyable day. They like to takes lots of pictures. Unfortunately, I don't have...

Breaking Bad- Season Four

Ok, let's see. I'll just do a basic recap first. So the season starts where season three left off: Jesse killed Gale, and now Jesse and Walt are stuck with Mike in the lab, waiting for Gus to get there. Gus ends up slicing another guys throat with a box cutter, and that terrifies Walt, thinking that he will soon be next to die. After killing Gale, Jesse doesn't really care about his life; his house becomes a crack house and his money gets stolen,...

Ted (R) - Mark Wahlberg

All I got to say is that it wasn't as funny as I thought it was going to be. I was a bit disappointed. But isn't that how all rated R comedies are? I'll give you three guesses what it was about, but you'll only need one: Getting drunk, high, and sex. Well, sexual innuendos, not really anything involving people doing it. All I know is that if I were his girlfriend, I would have left him a long time ago for him being so lazy. I know I'm dissing on...

Breaking Bad- Season Three

Omg. I think this has been my favorite season so far, and I've just started season five. Even though it started out kind of slow and boring, it got soo much better. Almost each episode kept me in suspense or brought out some kind of emotion in me. So it basically starts out with Walt being kicked out of the house and Skylar trying to keep him away from the family, because she knows that he's some kind of drug dealer. She has a big dilemma. She doesn't...

Homeland- Season One

Gah, it is so much harder to write about TV shows than it is movies. There is just so much I have to put in, and I have to make sense of it all, especially for those who haven't seen the shows I'm talking about. There is so much to say about this show. I love the intensity of it, I love the suspense, I love the twists, I love the frustration. All of it. When my husband first introduced it to me, I did not have any interest because I hate everything...

Breaking Bad- Season Two

*Spoilers* This is the season where Skylar starts to really irritate me. All throughout the first season she cries and complains about not knowing where Walt is and what he is doing, and then when he finally stays home to be with them, she does the exact same thing to him. She decides to leave and not tell Walt where she is going. It just doesn't make sense to me. Yeah, I know she's pissed, but for me, if I finally get what I want, I'm not going...

Groundhog Day (PG)- Bill Murray

I heard about this movie a lot over the years. Apparently it's a classic. My husband really likes it too and was surprised when I said I had never seen it before. So we set a day to watch it. Well, I think the movie was very predictable. Murray's character is a real butt and wakes up to the same day over and over again, and we all know what he has to do to stop being trapped- he has to be a nicer person, have a change of heart. Although it was predictable,...

Mad Men- Season 1

I have been hearing such good things about Mad Men for awhile. I listen to Carson Daly in the mornings on my way to work, and one morning he went on a rant about how good this show was. My husband even heard good things about it from twitter and the articles he reads, so he got it for us to start watching. I didn't know anything about Mad Men, so I really didn't know what to expect. I was hoping for something that kept me at the edge of my seat and...

Red Brick Pizza

My husband and I decided one weekend to walk around Downtown Brea and try something new. It's a pretty short street, but there are quite a few restaurants to choose from. We didn't want to spend too much money or else I would have wanted to go to Tacos & Tequila. They had a live band in there and it looked really fun. Anyways, our choice was between Red Brick Pizza and Fresca's Mexican Grill. We couldn't decide what we wanted to we did that...

Breaking Bad- Season One

I haven't written about TV shows on here before, but seeing as I was requested to write about Breaking Bad, I thought, why not? I have tons of shows I like to watch. So here goes...(Oh, by the way, this entire post will probably have spoilers. I don't think I can write much about it without giving some stuff away for those who haven't seen it yet.) When I first started watching this show, I thought it was going to kind of be like CSI where there...

Die Hard (R) - Bruce Willis

When I was younger, I think I remember my mom saying that she hated Bruce Willis, and ever since then for some reason or another, I've never been a Bruce Willis fan. I wasn't too excited to watch this movie for two reasons: 1) It's an old movie; 1988. The fashion is old and ugly, and I just don't like it. And 2) There's Bruce Willis.  My husband and I had been watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. and we came across the episode where Ross, Joey, and Chandler...

Woodland Cafe

There really is no picture for this restaurant since it's a rinky-dink hole-in-the-wall. I guess I could walk the two minutes from my work to take a picture since it's right down the street, but that's just too much of a hassle. And speaking of rinky-dink hole-in-the-wall places, and knowing my love for them, you can imagine how excited I was when I got to eat there with my husband for lunch. This place has a variety of food: Burgers & fries, salads, Philly cheese steaks, and even a Teriyaki plate, and it is all pretty cheap too. I usually...

True Romance (R) - Christian Slater

I am actually embarrassed to write about this movie. My husband and I have decided to watch "Sunday Stinkers" which means that we pick a movie that we haven't really heard much about, or we pick one that we kind of want to see even though we've heard bad things about it. Well, a couple of Sunday's ago, we watched this one, and first of all, I felt super bad because I didn't know it was rated R, and I know I shouldn't watch them anyways, but watching...

The Dark Knight Rises (PG-13)- Christian Bale, Tom Hardy

One of the many things I absolutely love about my husband is his love for movies. Although sometimes I have to admit, his movie choices suck, but when it comes to seeing the new super hero movies as soon as they come out, he's eager to do it. I don't think I have ever seen so many movies opening weekend as I have since we've been together. We don't necessarily go opening night at midnight, but he doesn't like to wait until the next week either.So...

What To Expect When You're Expecting (PG-13)

At my church right now, there are at least five pregnant women, and about three who just had babies. It's crazy. And because there are a lot of women with children, usually once a month we plan a girls night out so that they can get away from their house for awhile. This month it was my turn to pick the activity along with my friend Meagan. We chose to go out to Yogurtland and then watch this movie together since many could relate (and it was in...

Fa Sai

Of course, being that my husband is Asian, I have to try all kinds of different foods, usually foods that I find disgusting; well, not disgusting, but let's just say I'd much rather spend my money on a Big Mac from McDonalds. He used to work in a Thai restaurant when we both lived in Provo while we were dating, so I ate there a lot and it wasn't that bad. I only chose from two different dishes and the spring rolls, but the spring rolls were the best...

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (R) - Gary Oldman

Let's just say, my husband wasn't too happy with me after this movie was over. First of all, they talk in these heavy British accents. Second of all, it involves war. And third of all, it does cut scenes where it goes back in time. Anyone who knows me knows that these are probably the things that confuse me the most in any movie, and this one had all three!! I was not happy.Basically, a guy is fired from this spy-place, and then he is talked to...

Away We Go (R)- John Krasinski & Maya Rudolph

Seeing this cover, my first impression would be, "Oh no, this is going to be another stupid movie like 'Juno' or any of the other weird movies Michael Cera is in like 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist' or worst of all 'Scott Pilgrim.'" So luckily I didn't see this cover or else I would have put up a fight to not watch it. However, I do love the two main characters. Of course I love Krasinski from 'The Office', and I love Rudolph from 'Bridesmaids'...

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (PG-13)

Robert Downey, Jr. always talks so fast in his movies, it's hard to understand him. He says things that usually go right over my head because when he goes on for such a long time, I just end up losing focus, then I wait until he's finished talking, and then I turn to my husband and say, "Ok, so what happened?" My husband doesn't like that too much. There were a few parts in this movie where I had to ask my husband some questions. Talking scenes are...

Wicked Appetite- Janet Evanovich

Yup, you guessed it. Another Evanovich book. I think this is the last one I'll read for awhile since I don't think there are anymore of hers left to read. This one is kind of like the "between-the-numbers" books, except this one doesn't have Stephanie Plum. Diesel is the main character, and it's all about the "Unmentionable" abilities they have. I think I like this one better than the "between-the-numbers" ones because Evanovich doesn't use Stephanie...

Emma Stone Spiderman

The Amazing Spider-Man does a decent job of retelling the same story we've seen before in previous film versions, but it doesn't bother to reinvent anything. It isn't any more serious than Sam Raimi's vision and no less silly either. The action, adventure, and drama are all there, but so are the contrivances, the overabundance of computer animation, and the abysmal villain's ridiculous plan to rule the world. The origins story is rushed at times,...
