I remember watching Before Sunrise and Before Sunset with two of my closest friends, Axelle and Tom, way back during my college days. Since we are suckers for love stories, and artsy kind of movies, we loved these two films. they are love stories - a tale of two people who fell in love, they found each other and quickly decided to spend more time together. It's interesting how they clicked and quickly delve into conversation about each other's lives. 

They first meet on a train in Before Sunrise. Jesse (Ethan Hawk) whisks Celine (Julie Delpy) with him to Vienna. They whole movie they talk about their lives, just about anything under the sun. Then they part. They meet after nine years in Before Sunset, when Jesse heads to Paris on the last leg of his book tour (his book is about his encounter with Celine) and is surprised to see Celine in the bookstore. They talk and catch up and eventually end up in Celine's apartment. The viewers are left hanging whether or not Jesse catches his flight back.

I've just currently re-watched Before Sunset and was so happy to find out that they have a third movie!!! Before Midnight shows in all cinemas on July 3! :)

For those who haven't seen the first two movies, I've read reviews that you must see those first. The third movie has references to the first two. :)

I am definitely going to watch before Midnight! I am so curious and want to find out what happens next. :)

Can't wait! :)

It is my ultimate dream to travel the world and see all the great architectural monuments/structures up close. We studied the great cathedrals and the greatest modern structures of our time in Architecture school, thus my dream architectural tour/trip around the world. 

My dream destination is Europe. Rome, Milan (shopping! haha), Spain, Greece, Amsterdam, Paris. I definitely want to visit Paris. I hope I get to do that in my lifetime (maybe on my honeymoon when I get married sometime soon? hahah). I just think it's such a romantic city, with all of its charm, exquisite style and great architecture and culture. Its a dream destination for all hopeless romantics. :)

I loved Before Sunset. The movie starred Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke, and was also set in Paris. The movie was just about the two main characters who met in Paris, and their conversations during the time they were together. Some people would say it was boring (the main characters were just talking the whole time), but I loved it. And I also loved Julie Delpy's jacket - perfect for an afternoon in Paris. :)

This year, I'm watching out for another movie : Midnight In Paris. The movie stars Rachel McAdams and Owen Wilson, and is a romantic comedy set in Paris about a young couple, and a young man's love for the city. I've seen the trailer, and it looks promising. :) i'm itching to watch it. hehe. 




The movie poster looks artsy fartsy, the kind of movie I like - a romantic comedy set in Paris. 
And its written and directed by Woody Allen. :)

Will definitely watch out for this. :)
