My Blueberry Nights (2007)
I remember seeing the cover for this movie years ago, when I worked at a gas station, where you could rent movies. When I saw the cover, I decided that I had to see this movie someday. It took four years before that happened, so maybe I've built up some crazy expectations, I don't know. At first it disappointed me, but now, a few days later, my view upon it is more positive. The story isn't great, but I really like the mood in this film - the soundtrack is perfect for this atmosphere (or maybe the atmosphere is as it is because of the music?).
Furthermore it's a beautiful movie visually, it's full of rich colours, which also adds to the atmosphere. And last, but not least, Jude Law is in it and that's always a plus, haha. I love his accent.
My favourite song from the soundtrack: Cat Power - The Greatest
The Painted Veil (2006)
One of the best things about this movie is the incredibly beautiful Chinese scenery. If I return to China one day I definitely have to go more inland to the countryside instead of staying in the big cities.
The story is good as well, just a little bit too long-drawn-out. Especially in the beginning I was a little bored.

Last weekend I made Bounty bars! It was the first time I tried, but definetely not the last as they are very delicious and taste just like real Bountys (or maybe even better). They didn't turn out as pretty as intended, but luckily there's no one else but me who have to see them. And if I am going to make them for others to see I'll probably make an effort to get a better looking result.
