One evening there came into his soul the desire to fashion an image of The Pleasure that abideth for a Moment. And he went forth into the world to look for bronze. For he could only think in bronze.
But all the bronze of the whole world had disappeared, nor anywhere in the whole world was there any bronze to be found, save only the bronze of the image of The Sorrow that endureth for Ever.
Now this image he had himself, and with his own hands, fashioned, and had set it on the tomb of the one thing he had loved in life. On the tomb of the dead thing he had most loved had he set this image of his own fashioning, that it might serve as a sign of the love of man that dieth not, and a symbol of the sorrow of man that endureth for ever. And in the whole world there was no other bronze save the bronze of this image. And he took the image he had fashioned, and set it in a great furnace, and gave it to the fire.
And out of the bronze of the image of The Sorrow that endureth for Ever he fashioned an image of The Pleasure that abideth for a Moment.
Challenge your imagination with Disney's newest blockbuster!
Ever wondered how the Wizard of Oz popularized by L. Frank Baum came to be? Join Oscar Diggs (James Franco) as he embarks on an unexpected adventure to greatness!
I can't even begin to describe my excitement. I love how the heroes in these stories are usually the unexpected ones, perceived as insignificant or weak in the world. And at the end of the day, they accomplished far greater than they could have ever imagined! Reminds me of biblical heroes.
Moreover, look at how gorgeous the scenes are! I'm am a huge fan of fantasy films and the costumes that come along with it. I can't wait to see oscar-nominated costume designer Gary Jones' works on the big screen. Each look is specially designed and crafted to suit each character's distinct personality!

Plot Summary:
Disney's fantastical adventure "Oz The Great and Powerful," directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot--fame and fortune are his for the taking--that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity--and even a bit of wizardry--Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.

Dark eye circles, fine lines and massive eye-bags have been haunting me for years. And recently I heard that other than surgery there really is no product good enough to get rid of them completely :/ Imagine the horror.
Since any form of eye surgery is not really an option for me now (pricey!), I can only try to slow down the aging process round my eyes with masks and creams. Honestly, most I've tried have not been working well for me.
I was quite excited to try the Shiseido Wrinklelift when I first received it, because I have lots of fine lines due to years of applying and removing heavy eye makeup. Its pure retinol in liquid form and promises immediate results! This eye mask, however, focuses mainly on reducing fine lines and wrinkles. So if you're looking to reduce dark eye circles or eyebags,
this is probably not for you.
I like that this mask is comfortable and covers a pretty wide area. After using this twice, my fine lines does seem to be a little less prominent and the area around my eyes brighter! I'd probably have to use this regularly if I want to see better results.
Overall I'd rate this 3.5/5
