Kdrama Review: My Love from the Star

We've finally returned with another kdrama review! (You can read our Boys Over Flowers review here and our Cheese in the Trap review here). Today's drama is another old favorite, as we actually watched it last summer and absolutely loved it. But alas, alas SOMEONE—not naming names—put off writing her part of the review for [...]
The Last of the Mohicans Classic Review

Ah, the conundrum of the classic novel. How is one to review a book that was written in a time they have no association with that carries deeply complex themes if they don’t have an English degree from Oxford? The answer is surprisingly simple; I don’t need a college degree to express my opinion, and [...]
Parasite’s almost-romance is everything missing from Hollywood

{spoiler warning} In the movie Parasite, there is a scene where Ki-woo takes Da-hye’s arm and feels her pulse. He is her new tutor; he is wonderfully cocky, even with Da-hye’s rich mother watching, and he looks at Da-hye like she is the only person in the world. “I only care about how you seize the flow,” [...]
Star Wars x LOTR? AKA Clara Has Cracked

Hello my lovlies. As a multi-fandom fan, a skill I have been forced to become adept at is making connections between totally unrelated elements in fandoms and analyzing them; sort of like late last night when I realized the lines from a certain elvish prophecy from Lord of the Rings corresponded pretty nicely with some [...]
Sharpay Evans: The flawed heroine HSM Needed

If you’re an American born any time before 2006, I’d bet a million dollars that you have seen or at least heard of High School Musical. This Disney channel extravaganza jumped into existence in the 2000’s and instantly became a bit of a phenomenon, but despite the movies’ somewhat positive message, catchy musical numbers, and [...]
Phantom 25 Really, Really Wants You to Ship Erik and Christine

Hermione: In getting (more) into The Phantom of the Opera recently, I’ve spent quite a bit of time watching bootlegs of the final liar. It is always interesting to see how the acting choices of the cast can influence the tone and the emotion of the scene; the way Erik responds to Christine’s kiss, for [...]
So Many Books, So Little Time: April

Greetings Peasants. One of the few positive effects of this incredibly inconvenient quarantine is that I have had basically unlimited time to read whatever I want. I’m currently trying to read the twentyish books I own that I’ve never read, and while a few of them are destined for Goodwill, I’ve found some gems hidden [...]
My Love For Ramin Never Dies

LOVE NEVER DIES, LOVE NEVER DIES! Welcome back friends! In our last life update post I mentioned that I’d been super into Love Never Dies, and while I wasn’t allowed to consume the post with my rant, Hermione is permitting me to waste a Friday on phangirling. Really, it’s a tale as old as time. [...]
Friends, Romans, Blogosphere April 2020: mmhmm yes Ramin Karimloo and that’s about it

Friends, Romans, Blogosphere, lend us your ears! It’s been THREE LONG YEARS, but we are BACK BABY! Yeah, so you know how I mentioned earlier that Hermione and I are ambitious brainstormers, but we don’t post half the stuff we draft? It came to my attention that we haven’t done a life-update post since 2017 [...]
