Movie Monday: Happy Valentine’s Day!
My previous Movie Monday with an action theme didn’t really get a lot of feedback compared to my first one which dealt with first love. I’m going to assume that this post will get more feedbacks because of one thing: it’s all about ROMANCE!
Love really does make the world go round as proven by these five films which had romance as its central theme. Some were a hit and miss while some were definitely not to be missed.

My favorites in one film? Pinch me!
Comparing Taiwan’s Most Successful Films: “You are the Apple of My Eye” vs. “Our Times”
Hello 2016! Hello readers! I’m here today to give you a comparative analysis on Taiwan’s all-time smash-hit films from 2011 and last year. Having rewatched both films recently, I decided to write a post about these successful films in detail and also my theories on why they turned out to be everyone’s favorites.
As much as I love having a lot of readers, I do recommend that you read this only when you have seen both films. If not, then I hope this post will make you want to watch them (or at least one) and enjoy as much as I did.

Movie Monday: A Whole Lot of Firsts
I was supposed to create a year-end post of all the Asian movies that I watched this year but I realized that it might actually be already 2016 and I still won’t be able to finish this post haha! (I have watched 46 this year alone and counting).
Most people are into Asian dramas more than their films but there are times that I prefer the latter because it does not take so much time compared to the former. It would also be a waste if I just keep watching them and not write reviews about it. Thus, the birth of this segment!
In this first #MovieMonday, I’ll be reviewing five movies (3 Taiwanese and 2 Chinese) which deals with the theme: “Firsts”. Go read more to find out!
[Breaking] Chen Xiao and Michelle Chen are dating
So many celeb couples outing these days! Not a fan of either of them but I’m glad they found each other and here’s to hoping they would work out and be happy together 🙂
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo! Ok, let me be really sad. This is sad for two reasons: 1) It means the end of my Zhao Liying+Chen Xiao ship, and 2) This means that they are bringing to real life the whole nightmare that was Return of the Condor Heroes 2015. Ok, am I being too mean? 😥
