John Carter - should you watch it?

 

It’s been several days since “John Carter” is in theaters and the verdict is out!

Currently ranked as a solid #2 after “Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax”, “John Carter” has yet to bring big on it’s first couple of days return compared to it’s opponent. It is yet too soon to tell, but “Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax” has marked the top grossing movie of the year by making $122 million domestically in 10 days.

Personally, I was looking forward to “John Carter” for the obvious reasons. One; a hero worthy of Jake Sully from “Avatar”, two; different planet(Mars) equals extreme imagination with diverse creatures, three; expected it to be the best 3D movie of the year.

What can I say, you can immediately tell that a lot of money was spent making this film and just for that it might be worth watching the movie in 3D, which I did. But not highly recommended, of course. I try not to spoil anything for those out there who has not yet watched the movie so I will make this short.

I did not expect ‘smirk-worthy’ humor and heart warming qualities from this movie but it did and thankfully it was the kind that made me like the movie even more for it. Many a times I was thinking that John Carter was too pale compared to Martians but Americans in that time probably didn’t get a spray-tan regularly. The movie does not lack action and battle scenes with wicked creatures and scary weapons. But somehow seemed uncoordinated with more than two hours to show for it. (Actually made me want to read the book myself, this can’t have all been in ONE book!)

All in all, it was a fairly decent movie. Although it did not live up to my expectations, I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves an epic fantasy. Plus, it is always good to see the pages from the book come to life. ♥

 

 

 

Happy New Year! Happy New Blog!

!!Happy New Year! Happy New Blog!!

Kathryn and I had the most AMAZING New Year =) She flew over from Korea to be part of my wedding (we hadn’t seen each other in 2 years, so that made it all that more special!). We were reunited with many of our friends that we’d lived with in France, and the fact that it was at Disney World made it such a magical occasion! We had planned on having this news and the blog all up and running by the beginning of January, but when you live in our world, the beginning of a New Year can happen a couple of months late =) Anyway, we’ve been talking about New Years’ resolutions and decided it would be prevalent to make one together for our Blog. This year we are promising each other to have two entries each per month (and hopefully even more but we didn’t want to over shoot haha). Our other goal is to have 300 followers by next year! We’re working hard to make this a special place for others to visit and a sanctuary, of sorts, for ourselves.

As for us personally, we’ve got a lot going on, this beginning of 2012. I started the year as a newlywed, which accompanied moving to D.C (a new place for both me and my husband) because Will started school here at George Washington. I am still job hunting, and crossing my fingers that I’ll find one soon- not only for financial reasons, but mostly because I’m going crazy with a lack of friends! That’s always the kicker about moving somewhere new- it’s so fun and exciting to explore a new place (especially one like D.C that has something hidden in every nook and cranny) but friends don’t come with the package. You’ve gotta go out there and find some lol, I just don’t know where to look. Kathryn, on the other hand, has also been all sorts of busy- first flying back to Korea after a few weeks’ vacation here with us in the U.S, and since has been applying like crazy for Master programs and studying for the dreaded GRE. She hopes to be back over on this side of the world by the end of the summer (at the latest). We’ve both been going through the pains of transition, from these big ones, to even small ones like getting a face-lift on our blog design and waiting waiting waiting for it to be ready. But we both share the same belief that no good change, no fun adventure, comes without a little discomfort. It’s worth it in the long run =) We hope that all of your New Years’ are panning out to have begun in positive directions! And maybe, just maybe, you’ll find some encouragement in the fact that we’re just now getting around to making our own resolutions- so it’s not too late for you to start (or re-start lol) yours! Everyday can be a first day in our world, and we’re inviting you to join =) So again, HAPPY NEW YEAR, AND HAPPY BLOGGING!

*What did you do for your New Year? And have you made/kept any resolutions? What were they?

Love Tiff and Kat
