Diary of the Last Russian Emperor;
It's not the complete diary I'm reading, all I could find was this smallish book, December 1916 - June 1918. He was a fascinating character. Diary entries are very short and straight to the point.

He liked long walks and read a lot. Loved his family and his country.

His execution was an abominable crime. I don't bother myself with hating Communism & Bolshevik party, since it's just a stupid thing to do and is a huge waste of time and nerve cells; but this? The whole family! The children!

There you go. An Unforgivable for you.

Fullmetal Alchemist 01 - 04;
Well! I'm having a great deal of fun watching anime again. Besides that, I really find it amusing that there's a song with lyrics in Russian used in some scenes. That Brothers tune. Additionally, I love references to alchemy. Mmhhmm.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl;
I've watched it before, and I just keep falling in love over and over. Oh, dear Jack Sparrow (it's captain, captain Jack Sparrow >P), how I love you so.

So wonderful. I want to know it by heart. Ahhh!

NANA episodes 29 - 32;
OH MY GOD. JUST COMPLETE AND TOTAL OH MY GOD.

As it usually happens, I've been spoiled on the events of episode 31, so I suppose the impact is still smaller than it should've been. But actually, I'm glad I've been spoiled, because even this way it was like I've been kicked in the stomach repeatedly, I can only begin to imagine how it would've been if I came unprepared.

I love this so much. So, so much, like I've never loved another anime before, with an exception of KareKano perhaps, and it's still arguable.

Alexander;
This movie is FTW. Seriously. I loved it, and adored it, and marveled in its glory, because it's precious. It made me appreciate my name more, too. Beautiful.

Beyond Borders;
killed me a little, totally did. Movies shouldn't be like that, so approached to life, so like life. It's illegal, I'd say.

Tomb Raider: the Cradle of Life;
I love TR movies. Make me want to get off my ass and move, move, move!! AJ is hott.

Brokeback Mountain;
I don't know. I wept a little. Seriously. It's just so... endearing/ heart-wrenching.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow;
Anticipated this one greatly, but didn't like it as much as I should've, given the anticipation. Enjoyable, though.
