Favorite Weddings

In honor of Valentine's Day on Sunday, I decided to post the wedding scenes from some of my favorite movies : )

~ ~ ~

1). The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982)

Wedding of Sir Percival Blakeney and Marguerite St. Just 

One of the most romantic movies of all times surely holds the title for one of the most beautiful wedding scenes ever filmed!  

2). The Sound of Music

Wedding of Captain Georg von Trapp and Maria

Just all around memorable and stunning! From Maria's wedding gown, to how handsome Georg looked in his uniform...ahhhh I love it!

3.) A Walk To Remember

Wedding of Landon Carter and Jamie Sullivan

I remember seeing this movie when I was 10 or 11 and just being captivated by such a simple, but strong love story that can happen to anyone. Everything about this wedding completely captured who Landon and Jamie were.

The Crown (NetFlix 2016)

Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth II and Matt Smith as Prince Philip

I have been waiting so long for a film about young Queen Elizabeth II and about her life with Philip and early years as the queen.

This looks amazing!!!

X-Men: Apocalypse

OMG!!!!

Alex is back!

Where's Logan?

 Moira is back!

Where's Logan??

Peter is back!!!

Where's Logan!?!?

Sansa Stark has an American accent!!

Still wondering where Logan is!?!?

We finally get to see how Charles lost his hair!
(Weeps silently for the loss of Jame's McAvoy's beautiful hair)

I don't want this story be all about Jennifer Lawrence

However, I wouldn't care as long as...

Logan shows up!!!

He Is No Fool

This great video celebrates the lives of the five missionaries Jim Elliot, Pete Fleming, Ed McCulley, Roger Youdarian & Nate Saint who were massacred in Ecuador by the Auca Indians on January 8, 1956 and of the noble Olympic runner Eric Liddell who made headlines at the 1924 Olympics in Paris, France when he refused to run on a Sunday.

Video clips from: Through Gates of Splendor (2005), Chariots of Fire (1981) and At The End of The Spear (2005)

Another video that celebrates great missionaries.

The Canadian Tenors - Hallelujah

So, so, so beautiful!!!!!

"Hallelujah"

by Jeff Buckley 

Well I heard there was a secret chord

That David played and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do you?

Well it goes like this:

The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah...

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya

She tied you to her kitchen chair

She broke your throne and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah...

Baby I've been here before

I've seen this room and I've walked this floor (you know)

I used to live alone before I knew ya

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch

And love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah...

There was a time when you let me know

What's really going on below

But now you never show that to me, do ya?

But remember when I moved in you

And the holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah...

Maybe there's a God above

But all I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya

And it's not a cry that you hear at night

It's not somebody who's seen the light

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Suffragette Trailers

Trailer 1

Trailer 2

OMG!!!!

I am so excited for this film! 

Si Volvieras A Mi (If You Would Come Back To Me)

     I love Josh Groban! I've been listeing to him since I was about 9 or 10 years old and it's impossible to choose a favorite song, but this Spanish love song would definitely be a top favorite.

Here's the English translation:

How to survive

How to calm my thirst

How can I continue without you

How can I jump without a net [to catch me]

With that farewell so savage and cruel

You took away all I had

Time came to a halt

And my heart is now a desert

Oh if you came back to me

The sun would raise 1000 spring times

If you but came back to me

Every kiss you gave me would be miraculous

But today you're gone

And there is no turning back

What is there after you?

More than these tears

Like the rain in a garden

Playing endless music,

Cold and tragic.

Now on bended knee I plead to God

That for the good of us both

Something might break inside you when you listen

To this idiot dying of love

Oh if you came back to me

The sun would raise 1000 spring times

If you but came back to me

Every sight of me would be miraculous.

But today you are gone

And there is no return for us

You let loose a hurricane,

The fire and fury of a volcano

That I don't know how to stem

Being the fool that I was

A slave to you

I just can't do that anymore.

Oh if you would just come back to my life,

if you come back

If you returned me,

I would be happy once again

But today you are gone

And there is no turning back.

Deleted Scenes from Captain America

Captain America: The First Avenger vintage poster

     Yet another video post : ) 

I was scrolling around on Pinterest when I came across some gifs that were from deleted scenes from Captain America: The First Avenger. There's only three, but two of them were great and really should have been left in the movie.

While Steve tours the U.S.A. as Captain America, Sergeant Barnes (Bucky) and the 107th (and soon-to-be Howlin' Commandos) are captured by HYDRA

Colonel Philips chews Steve's ass (sort of) for not receiving his medal of honor and Howard Stark tries to identify HYDRA's weapon. (I loved this scene!!)

The Scorch Trials Trailer!

YAHHH! I can tell that the movie is going to be different from the book, but I think I might enjoy that because the book was really complex and very disjointed at certain points. So hopefully there will be a stronger and steadier story flow. As long as they keep the primary storyline of Thomas' mental and psychological progression. 

Cooking Fast and Fresh With West!

Misha Collins (Supernatural) and his son, West, have this adorable YouTube cooking show that is basically a dad having a good time with his son.

 It's absolutely hysterical and West is sooo adorable!

Episode 1

Episode 2

Episode 3 - Thanksgiving Feast

Dear God, Please let my future husband be like this!!!

Loki on SNL...with kids

Superheros 2014

X-Men: Days of Future Past

Captain America: Winter Soldier

     Both of these look absolutely amazing! To be honest, I'm mostly excited for X-Men, seeing as that was the first comic book fandom I got into then followed by Batman. Captain America looks like it's going to take an interesting look into S.H.I.E.L.D and see what it's really becoming and that is going to be great to watch, maybe becoming more political than just superheros in action.

Eloi - from "The Time Machine (2002)"

Eloi

from "The Time Machine" (2002)

Lyrics:

Em mar'jen'wel el tor'kan.

Tan dern'em tan'som tor'cal.

Em orn'bren fur tas'mor.

Mar nos den bren'tas col.

Em mar'jen'wel em'tas tan'col,

Tan dern'em tor'mar em quin'tan.

En orn'bren tan'el lon el,

Mar nos den nove'tan'quin.

Translation:

I dream of days without an end

And long for sleep without the fear.

I hope to walk through the night

And know this will come true.

I dream of life lived long and full,

And long to see my children grow.

I hope for better days to come,

And know they will come soon.

I love this song! 

Even though the song itself is completely different from the actual context of the Eloi people from the book, it still has a beautiful message. I'm not sure what the traditional language is, some people say it's an archaic language of sorts, but either way it made for a beautiful song.

~ ~ ~

In H.G. Wells novel "The Time Machine" Eloi, in its most basic term, is a people group that has become lazy and narcissistic, caring nothing for anyone or anything but themselves. In the movie, which is very different from the book, the Eloi are a hardworking tribal people who are trying to hold onto a sense of civilization, especially when under constant threat of the morlocks. 

Oh yeah, and the movie is really good too! I haven't seen it in a while, but it's great action/sci-fi watch.!

Cookie Monster Learns a Lesson from Tom Hiddleston

I have never laughed so hard!

Loki In HQ

  Remember that video I posted last month of Tom Hiddleston dressed up as Loki for Comic Con 2013? Well, I managed to find a better high quality video that has the entire performance!

Tom talking about the fan's reactions to his cosplay character : )

(Can you tell I'm a big fan...)

Thor: The Dark World - Official Trailer (trailer 2)

Looks amazing!!!

"Start of Time" by Gabrielle Aplin

Words cannot describe how beautiful I find this song!

Start of Time

by Gabrielle Aplin

Oh today I'm just a drop of water 
And I'm running down a mountainside 
Come tomorrow I'll be in the ocean 
I'll be rising with the morning tide 

There's a ghost upon the moor tonight 
Now it's in our house 
When you walked into the room just then 
It's like the sun came out 

I'm an atom in a sea of nothing 
Looking for another to combine 
Maybe we could be the start of something 
Be together at the start of time 

There's a ghost upon the moor tonight 
Now it's in our house 
When you walked into the room just then 
It's like the sun came out 
It's like the sun came out 

And the day is clear 
My voice is just a whisper 
Louder than the screams you hear 
It's like the sun came out 
It's like the sun came out 
It's like the sun came out 
It's like the sun came out..

"I have an army..."

Tom Hiddleston in his typical amazing glory arrived at Comic-Con 2013 in San Diego, California, dressed up as Loki to introduce new footage for "Thor 2: The Dark World."

This is hilarious!!! 

Vide Cor Meum

   

     One of my favorite pieces of music!

I first heard it during the death/funeral scene of of King Baldwin IV in "Kingdom of Heaven," and have loved it ever since.

Here's another version done by one of my favorite musical artists, Sarah Brightman. I have loved her and her voice since I was a child. She's incredible.

"Come What May" by Jackie Evancho and The Tenors

Jackie Evancho and The Canadian Tenors 

perform "Come What May" from Moulin Rouge

~ ~ ~

Come What May

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more

Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings?
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather, 
And stars may collide
But I love you (I love you)
Until the end of time(until the end of time)

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, Oh I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

~ ~ ~

I am seriously obsessed with this song right now! 

And this rendition in nothing short of breathtaking!
