My Bookish Life

My most anticipated movie this month and I already loved the trailer so I was quite excited to see it on Valentines Day after Parasite. There one simple thing to say it: I absolutely loved it! I was quite happy to see the boys back in action, being all funny and sassy and having also a few ups and downs. Bad Boys, Bad Boys Watcha Gonna Do, Watcha Gonna Do When They Come For You We had the beloved Bad Boys Theme with a shot over Miami and the water and a car chase in the beginning. You can see Mike and Marcus driving in his Porsche through the city, followed by some cops with sirens following them. It's quite funny and so familiar when Marcus freaks out while Mike is driving and Mike is just all sassy. I loved it. The a big reveal, Marcus is a granddaddy now! Awww cuties. Mike, the Captain and all the others are celebrating in a bar and after, Marcus tells him he want's to retire for good. Mike challenges him to a race and the one who wins the run, decides what wi...

On Friday, yes Valentines Day, I decided to have a long movie night with two movies. First one was Parasite. I was curious what all this fuss was about and I had no clue what I would watch because I have never seen any trailer or heard anything about it before the Oscars. So I decided to give it a try and find out for myself what it was about and if it deserved an Oscar for Best Movie in my opinion. I can tell you one thing. I understand the fuss about it and it was a brilliant movie. Totally deserved an Oscar for sure. Like usual I'm trying to do this as spoiler free as possible. First of all, I was prepared to read subtitles for the next 132 minutes but it actually was dubbed in German. So it was quite nice to fully concentrate on the cinematography and the movie itself. It started with getting to know the family Kim who's poor and living in a basement flat. One night a friend of the young son shows up and asks him to teach a young girl from a rich family - the Parks -...

So last weekend I finally started to use my 30-day-cinema-ticket I got and started the upcoming movie-marathon with "Knives Out". A movie I wanted to watch since the trailer for some reasons. The cast, Chris Evans, the story, James Bond, Chris Evans. ^^ So here's my review of the movie and I'm trying to do this as spoiler-free as possible. It first of all is a crime movie and I'm really into these thb. Well the trailer looked interesting, also the cast is amazing. So I called a friend and we headed to a late night viewing. She later said "I would have never watched this movie without you dragging me into it, but I absolutely loved it." So I guess that's saying something. The movie started with a rich novelist - Harlan Thrombey - found dead in his rooms, cut throat and nothing suspects a murder. So the police just asks the family about what could make him do it on the night of his 85th birthday party. With the police arrives a private detect...

Hello guys! It's been a while since my last post. Sadly my laptop died and I just got it back yesterday. Edit: This was the beginning of the post when it died again!!! aaahhhh.... But now after a while it's back again and (for now) functioning. Well how are things? Good, definitely good... Finished my oral exam on the 5th July and are working as a fully trained freight forwarder since the 6th. I've lots of work and it does not get less. But that's a good thing in some ways, right? We had a few calm days lately but I'm already bored. *giggles* I can't stand when I've nothing to do. Won't have a big time off until October so I'm enjoying every weekend to the fullest or try to. Was at the Sting & Shaggy concert on Friday 13.07. and it was absolutely brilliant! There where so many wonderful classics from the both of them and some songs from their new album 44/876. If you wanna see a thread of pics and videos from this concert, click here ...

Sooo.... Another Wednesday at the cinema with a friend. Hihi no I'm not addicted, just a normal fan who wanted to see this movie. So pretty excited after all the hype on my Twitter TL I asked a friend to come with me and soon it was time for THE movie. I loved the beginning! It brilliantly made and the story of Wakanda is just beautiful. I'm just not quite sure who tells the story to the child. Is it T'Challa to his son or his father to him? I never get it... If you've an answer feel free to comment below. I wanna solve this mystery. Anyway.... Yeah the beginning and the soundtrack gave me goosebumps. African influence, combined with modern beats when we have the songs by Kendrick Lamar & Co. - awesome. The flashback to 1992 was good too. Interesting and not giving away too much for the rest of the story so it was still a shock for me to find out who the boy was, playing basketball. The timeline quite makes me a bit struggle. All this happend after "Ci...

“I want your world to begin and end with me.” ― E.L. James, Fifty Shades Freed Back with another movie review. This time Fifty Shades Freed . I know some of you don't like the books/movies at all and I understand that in some ways. Nonetheless I do like them. Very much in fact so I don't really care about all the haters right know. I mean it's everybody's choice what they like and don't like so it's all fine after all. Anyway, I was looking forward after all the trailer and critic on my Twitter TL and on my usual cinema Wednesday (I call it that because our local cinema at my hometown shows movies in English every WED) I headed there to see it with a friend. We just made it in time and when we entered the cinema hall there were just a bunch of girls so my friend was the only guy there, it was quite funny because I think they all thought we were a couple. First funny thing of this evening was, that the girl behind us asked if we were voluntarily g...
