Arrow

Arrow is an American action-adventure television series based on the fictional character Green Arrow, a superhero who appears in comic books published by DC Comics. The series follows billionaire playboy Oliver Queen, portrayed by Stephen Amell, who returns home to fight crime and corruption as the vigilante "Arrow" after being stranded on a desert island for five years. Arrow will also feature appearances by other DC Comics characters.

After a shipwreck that claims the life of his father, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen is missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his mother Moira, his younger sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcome him home but sense Oliver has been changed by his ordeal on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about the man he has become, he tries to reconcile with his former girlfriend, Laurel, for cheating on her with her sister, who also died in the shipwreck. As Oliver reconnects with those closest to him, he secretly masquerades as a hooded vigilante archer by night, attempting to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory as his late father had entrusted him to do before his death. Oliver's first personal task is to take down corrupt millionaire Adam Hunt, who has scammed millions from various people in Starling City. Laurel's father, police detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante. Meanwhile, Oliver's mother is revealed to have an agenda against her son, having orchestrated a kidnapping to determine what his father told him after the shipwreck. 

Tudors

Henry VIII (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) was King of England from 21 April 1509 until his death. He was Lord, and later King, of Ireland, as well as continuing the nominal claim by the English monarchs to the Kingdom of France. Henry was the second monarch of the House of Tudor, succeeding his father, Henry VII.

Besides his six marriages, Henry VIII is known for his role in the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church. Henry's struggles with Rome led to the separation of the Church of England from papal authority, the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and establishing himself as the Supreme Head of the Church of England. Yet he remained a believer in core Catholic theological teachings, even after his excommunication from the Catholic Church.

Henry was considered an attractive, educated and accomplished king in his prime and has a reputation as one of the most charismatic rulers to sit on the English throne. Besides ruling with absolute power, he also engaged himself as an author and composer. His desire to provide England with a male heir—which stemmed partly from personal vanity and partly because he believed a daughter would be unable to consolidate the Tudor Dynasty and the fragile peace that existed following the Wars of the Roses—led to the two things for which Henry is remembered: His six marriages, and the English Reformation (making England a mostly Protestant nation). In later life, he became morbidly obese and his health suffered; his public image is frequently depicted as one of a lustful, egotistical, harsh, and insecure king.

What really had me interested in this part of history was the show Tudors. It was an amazing, and mostly historically accurate show, depicting Henry VIII's marriages and reign. I was addicted to that show, and have seen all five seasons of it. And I would love to watch it all over again, no doubt.

Anastasia, Lost Duchess of Russia

Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia (June 18 1901 – July 17, 1918) was the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, the last sovereign of Imperial Russia, and his wife Alexandra Fyodorovna.

Anastasia was a younger sister of Grand Duchess Olga, Grand Duchess Tatiana, and Grand Duchess Maria, and was an elder sister of Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia. She died in an extrajudicial killing by forces of the Bolshevik secret police, Cheka, with her family on July 17, 1918.

Persistent rumors of her possible escape have circulated since her death, fueled by the fact that the location of her burial was unknown during the decades of Communist rule. The mass grave near Ekaterinburg which held the remains of the Tsar, his wife, and three daughters was revealed in 1991, but the bodies of Alexei Nikolaevich and one of his sisters—either Anastasia or her older sister Maria—were not discovered there.

Her possible survival has been conclusively disproved.

James Bond's Skyfall

Skyfall is the upcoming twenty-third spy film in the Eon Productions James Bond series, produced for MGM, Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Entertainment. It features Daniel Craig's third performance as James Bond.

When an operation in Istanbul ends in disaster, James Bond is missing and presumed to be dead, and the identities of every active undercover MI6 agent are leaked onto the internet. In the aftermath, questions are raised over M's ability to run the Secret Service, and she becomes the subject of a government review over her handling of the situation. When the service itself is attacked, Bond's sudden reappearance gives M the pretext she needs to seek out Raoul Silva, a dangerous villain claiming a personal connection to both of them – but as he follows a trail from London to the South China Sea, Bond soon finds his loyalty to M challenged over secrets from her past

Food Cravings

You know that sudden feeling you get when you're just watching TV or reading a great book? Those pangs in your stomach as if something is trying to claw its way out. The deep rumbling and sudden shakes which make you lose your concentration and go raid the fridge for something to eat and graze on. This is happening to me RIGHT NOW. It is so distracting and I could not think about anything else at this moment to write about. Images of high definition quality are swimming in front of me of all the foods that I love. Desserts are prancing around my head in tiny concentric circles, and pizza slices are doing belly flops repeatedly in front of me. I'm trying to shove them aside but to no avail.
These random hunger pangs or cravings will not go away until I satisfy them. Raiding the fridge didn't turn up anything good, and my only option is to stuff my face with crisps infinitely.

Everything Is Not What It Seems

We always have impressions about people, whether good or bad. Sometimes, we have them unintentionally and when we question what they are, they are indefinable and indescribable. We think that someone has such a perfect life and everything comes so easy to them, or we sometimes think about some other person that they have to face such hardships and pity them endlessly. But really, everything is not what it seems.
The people of whom we think have it all, may not. We might think their life is gold, but the thing is we don't know what their life is really like. We can only do so if we step into their shoes for a day. Everybody has problems, even rich people. They might have different kind of problems; the kind which never even cross our mind. And the other kind of people, whom we pity are sometimes better off. They struggle and survive by working hard but in the end are very happy. Therefore, one can never tell anything about a person's life or what their problems may or may not be. I know its not easy to stop judging, but we should try and stop assuming things about other people and cutting people some slack.

Vampire Diaries

Who doesn't know about TVD? Or better known as the Vampire Diaries. I am a huge fan myself of this show series based on a book series by L. J. Smith. Usually, goth vampire and werewolf shows seem over rated to me, but this one is beyond amazing. It surely helps that the two vampire brothers are gorgeous and hunky. In less than an hour of a show, we are able to gorge on lots of helpings of luscious eye-candy.
The story revolves around the two vampire brothers and one girl, Elena Gilbert. These three are in a love triangle, with both brothers vying for the girl's love. But sadly, Elena chooses Stefan, the younger brother and breaks Damon's heart. Don't worry, Damon. You'll always have me (take a hint)!
Side story plots contain werewolves, vampire and werewolf romance, and evil villains who are undying vampire ancient lords who happen to be all super hot and dashing, of course.
Every Thursday is much awaited for all the ladies out there who are TVD fans, and some of the guys out there too! The battle between the brothers and who will have Elena at last is worth watching. Although the creators of the show have changed much of the story from the book, the viewers don't complain at all because they have turned it into something a lot better. The book was not that fabulous, trust me. Gotta go have my TVD fix now!
