Tarzan Review

July 22, 2016October 24, 2016Leave a comment

My dad is a huge fan of Tarzan so inevitably he wanted to see the movie. I’ve never been a huge fan and to be honest when I saw the trailer it was more than a little disappointing. My first reason being that the whole trailer looked like it was computer animated. Furthermore I’ve seen pictures of Alexander Skarsgard and although he is said to have trained really hard and gained a lot of muscle mass some clips in the movie didn’t look authentic especially this one below, as he jumps down into the trees the shape of his back looks too animated.

Spoiler alert: Some spoilers to follow

Upon watching the movie I was pleasantly surprised. I sort of expected to see the original Tarzan movie plot, but instead the movie starts off 8 years after Tarzan was found in the jungle and brought to Britain. Tarzan is invited by the Belgium King to visit the Congo to see all the new schools he has build for the local tribes. After first rejecting he eventually goes. and that is where the adventure begins.

The story was interesting although I have to admit there was a kind of a lul in the middle of the movie where it felt like nothing was happening. The fight scenes were done really well and Tarzan fought like an ape, more with his arms than with his fists.

In addition the last half of the movie we get to see Alexander Skarsgard bare chested which is always a plus for us warmblooded ladies. He looks really great and he did really well as Tarzan.

My father was very impressed toovand he said the movie kept very close to the books except for the fact that in the books NO APE could beat Tarzan in a fight. I do however think the fact that he couldn’t beat his brother might be to show that Tarzan has been out of the jungle for too long…

I would recommend this movie as it is entertaining and a little bit different than what we are used to. These days I feel as if all the movies are the same thing over and over again, but maybe I’m too sensitised to blockbuster movies.

My husband on the other hand found the movie boring and he even fell asleep once or twice.

Halloween costumes.

This year I’m planning on doing 2 Halloween costumes. The first will be a little less scary for the Friday before Halloween. We’ve noticed that it helps to psych the kids up before Halloween. It increases their participation on the day of our Halloween event.

This is the inspiration for my costume.

Wind-Me-Up Dolly Creepy Doll Costume from Leg Avenue inset 2:

I’ve decided to do the outfit with the purple because I’ve always wanted to wear purple hair.

I’ve managed to get all my costume requirements from Amazon except for the makeup kit, which I bought from Gmarket in Korea because it was cheaper but I will link everything below. I also had to take a dress that is slightly different because the dress in the picture do not deliver my size to South Korea.

On our recent trip to Busan I decided to wear a dress instead of the usual shorts and t-shirt but let me tell you… don’t wear a dress when it is windy

When that dress blew up I felt like this naked mermaid… 20160507_154638

Jamie Eason Live fit Trainer

Two weeks ago I started doing the Jamie Eason Live Fit Trainer. It is a free online program with diet suggestions and weight training moves on bodybuilders.com.

A lot of people have had brilliant results with this trainer as did I a few years ago when it came out. If you follow it to the T you’ll lose weight, build muscles and be able to maintain your weight as long as you follow the eating guidelines. Jamie Eason doesn’t believe in cutting out an entire food group. She is also one of the only fitness models that stays fit all through the year while other fitness models let themselves go throughout the year and only work hard toward their fitness and health goals during competition season, which isn’t healthy at all.

I’ve been out of the gym for quite a while so starting with phase 1 of this trainer was ideal for me. It gets you back in the gym without killing you in the first 2 weeks. It is a great base builders and teaches you healthy habits to follow.

This is what the schedule for the first 2 weeks look like
