Movie review: Feast of Love [Blogtober #2 2014]

Hello lovelies,

I watched this lovely film called Feast of Love. That is the original title, but here in Sweden it was called Cup of Love. Don't really know why they changed it!



Some information to start us of with;
Year: 2007
Genre: Drama/Romance
Director: Brad Silberling
Stars: Morgan Freeman, Greg Kinnear, Radha Mitchell, Toby Hemingway, Alexa Davalos and Jane Alexander
Synopsis: A rustic Oregon town is the backdrop for this tale of men and women touched by love's inescapable spell. From Bradley, the hopeless romantic who looks for love in all the wrong places; to Harry, a local professor with the wisdom and experience to guide those close to him; to young, beautiful Chloe, who defies fate in romancing the troubled Oscar. (From IMDB)


I actually bought this on DVD many months ago, because I liked the synopsis. Although I never got around to watching it.
I'm so glad I finally did!

Anything with Morgan Freeman is bound to be great, and this film was no exception. All these love stories that he gets to see and experience. Everything from young love, to mistakes, to old marriages and death.
It was absolutely beautiful and had me hooked from the get go. The actors did a stunning job and the storylines seemed well thought through and real. It was both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Just the thing to watch on a Sunday evening!

I can't really tell you anything about the plotline since I will spoil it for you - that's an issue with me, I don't know when to stop, so I just won't start!
I will tell you though that I squealed a little when Stana Katic, who plays detective Beckett in Castle, showed up on the screen. I love her and even though she was just in it for a little while it was spectacular!

I recommend this movie to be watched with people you love, or on your own to make you think about your life and the love around you.
All in all a great film, but not the best one I've seen! But still a great watch!

Final rating: 3.5 stars out of 5!
Verdict: Watch it if you feel like a good watch, but you won't be missing out on a masterpiece if you don't!

Blogtober Announcement [Blogtober #1 2014]

Hello my lovelies,
I thought I'd let you know that I'm going to be doing blogtober! I'm a little late to the party, but will spend the next few days catching up!
I have done vlogtober before, but have more or less failed miserably. I have decided that blogging might be easier - and it might get me into the rhythm of regular blogging!

So this is the announcement, and I'm also calling this Blogtober #1!

Am currently watching a film and blogtober #2 will be a movie review!
Blogtober posts will also be in the form of videos since I'm doing my best to get back into the swing of things now that all the stress has settled just a little.

And, on top of that, I've decided that I can't just work all the time, every day - all day, so doing this might get me to calm down and do things for myself instead!
And this is the way I've decided to do it!

Talk to you very soon

Life update

Hey guys,

So sorry for not updating you in forever! I'm back at work and everything is super hectic! I haven't filmed a proper video since June! And no, I'm not counting my ALS video as proper. 
I have a huge pile of book that need reviewing so I'm going to get to that as soon as I can! Also have lots of ideas for tags and stuff that I want to do! So, I need to start filming stuff! 
Have some work to do, but I'm going to try and blog a little later - have a few posts planned :)
