Review: Somewhere in Time

First of all, let me apologize for my severe lack of posting as of late. Summer started out a bit busy (not what I expected) and to top it all off, I have had some computer troubles as of late (don't worry, I've got it up and running, but I'm going to need to work on it little by little to get to where it once was). So, in short, I'm still here: I've  just been quiet as of late.

Poster of Somewhere in Time

But anyways: onto Somewhere in Time.

My mom actually owns this movie on DVD, but when I actually watched it I ended up watching it on TV (and again lately rewatching it on Netflix to review it). My mom has always liked this movie (she even owns a replica picture of the character Elise McKenna that is featured in this movie), but for some reason, I didn't watch it until recently. So now that I have, here is my review of it.

Synopsis
Playwright Richard Collier becomes obsessed with a picture of an early 20th century actress named Elise McKenna while staying at the Grand Hotel. After doing research on Elise, Richard falls in love with her and takes it upon himself to travel back to 1912 to meet Elise and for her to fall in love with him.

Review: Titanic (2012)

No, I don't mean the 1997 movie that was recently re-released in 3D starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. The Titanic I'm referring to is the 2012 miniseries written by Julian Fellowes, known for creating Downton Abbey. I found out about this miniseries some time ago before it was released in America. I was interested in it since Julian Fellowes wrote the screenplay. I didn't know all that much about the Titanic (other than it sank after it struck an iceberg) and I had heard that the 1997 movie Titanic was not as accurate as it could have been. But I had heard that Julian Fellowes pays close attention to period correctness (though, we must allow, that some artistic license must have been taken), so I thought I would give this miniseries a try after finding it on Netflix.

Synopsis
Told in a nonlinear format, this miniseries follows the finishing touches that were put on the Titanic towards the end of it's construction, the boarding of its passengers (some wanting to take a trip to America, others searching for a better life), and the fateful night that it struck an iceberg and sunk. Multiple subplots are followed including the voyage of Lord and Lady Manton and their daughter Georgiana Grex, the Batleys (a middle class couple) and the Maloneys (an Irish family seeking a better life in America).

Saturday: Favorite Post Edwardian Outfit (What's Your's?) -...

Well, as I have stated before, I haven't really seen many period dramas from the Post Edwardian Era (1910s), so Downton Abbey is the main period drama that I watch from the era. So, my favorite costume is from Downton Abbey.

I love this dress that Lady Mary wears in the first series of Downton Abbey! I just love the cut of it and the embroidery!

Saturday: Character Costume Highlight: Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham

Today's Character Costume Highlight is Cora, Countess of Grantham from Downton Abbey.

A Little About Cora

Cora is the American wife of Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham. Due to Downton Abbey being entailed away from her three daughters, Cora works to get her daughters married to respectable gentlemen. She is constantly at odds with her mother-in-law, Lady Violet, and harbors a secret of Lady Mary's that could create scandal if word every got out.

Cora's Evening Dress

Just to clarify, Cora is the one going through the door.
