My love for you is potato. Happy Birthday to Mr.! As it is his birthday today, I told him that he could pick the topic he wanted for today’s blog post. He picked potato and told me to interpret that however I feel. Swell. So today, we’re going to be discussing the last movie we watched…

2015 Movie Stubs
In 2015, I went to see seven movies in the cinema. Actually, there might have been more (lol, memories), but I only kept seven ticket stubs, so seven is our magic number! I prefer to go into movies sight unseen, meaning I actively avoid trailers. The only ones I seek out are teaser trailers at the cinema…
Delta Air Lines In-Flight Movie Reviews
If you’ve been following me on social media you’ll have seen many of the pictures I posted online about my amazing trip to Illinois. But before I got there, I had to travel and part of that travel were two very long plane journeys. -x- As much as I love sleep, I love movies, and…
Six Types of Bad Movies.
I love love love movies, I love watching them at home curled up under a blanket and I love going out with friends to see them on the big screen. The whole experience is everything to me, but no matter how much fun I have with the experience, the movie needs to be worth watching….
The last 5 memorable movies I watched.
As always, there be spoilers below! I’ve tried to pick trailers that don’t give away too much of the plot by having scenes in random order or just relevant clips, but you never know so be careful! Begin Again (2013) I honestly thought this was going to be a sappy, love conquers all movie. It…
Sex Tape (2014). The cloud bad. Youporn good.
As always, there are spoilers below. Yesterday, I watched the movie Sex Tape, and I didn’t hate it. 2014 has been lacking in great movies for me. As a result I’ve lowered the bar, waaaayyy down and decided to watch movies that I normally wouldn’t even consider. Which is a little amusing because I generally…
Edge Of Tomorrow (2014). Live, Die, Repeat.
As always, there are spoilers below. This is an easy movie to like. Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt plays a similar character to the one she played in The Devil Wears Prada and the rest of the cast are superbly written. The plot feels like a mash up of Independence Day and Groundhog Day,…
Frozen (2013). Do you want to build a snowman?
As always, there are spoilers below. This is a story about love, family and the power of fear. I haven’t included a trailer in this review because the trailer isn’t very good. I didn’t actually know anything about the movie before I’d watched it, only that it was sorta based on a fairy tale by Hans…
Monsters University (2013). Sometimes dreams change and that’s okay.
Dreams are special. They can be the fuel in our engine that keep us going in life, they allow us to utilise our imaginations and visualise our future. They are inspirational, they are important and they are subject to change. I often see inspirational messages that tell us to ‘shoot for the stars‘ or to…
The Great Gatsby (2013). Do you believe in the Green Light?
The Great Gatsby (2013) is a movie adaptation of a novel of the same name written by F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1925. It’s a story about nothing, everything, life, love, obsession and the human condition. We are thrown into a world of opulence, theatrics, beauty and the muchness of life in 1920s New York and we’re told…
The Internship (2013). Warm Fuzzy Googley feelings.
Spoiler Alert: Some, minor spoilers ahead. I know most of us use Google Services, but ask yourself this very important question. Do you love Google? The writers Vince Vaughn and Jared Stern really want you to. If Google was a cult, this would be part of the promotional materials used to convince new recruits to…
Welcome to The Dark World, Man.
I’ve talked about how excited I am with Marvel Cinematic Universe plans in a previous post and now that 2013’s part Phase 2 is over, I thought I’d revisit the subject. I have not been disappointed. Spoilers will abound, so read ahead at your peril! Iron Man 3 Despite, hating Iron Man as a kid I consider…
Ender’s Game (2013). The trouble with Thirds.
A while ago Boyfriend shocked that I hadn’t read the book lent me his old copy, and I promptly put it on the shelf for several months. It wasn’t till I saw the trailer for the movie that I actually got around to reading it, so I am coming at this from the point of…
Man of Steel (2013). Growing up is tough.
Here be spoilers, many of them. Continue at your peril if you haven’t watched the movie! A friend asked me to go see this movie when it first came out, I said no. I have never really been a DC fan, and I know that it is blasphemy, but I really did not enjoy the…
Moon (2009). Reality is fiction.
(to avoid spoilers, only watch the trailer to 1:00) There will be spoilers, so if you don’t want to encounter spoilers, then you probably shouldn’t read any of this. We are told that in this future we have exhausted our natural resources and the world as we knew it was dying. But the good news is that we have found a…
I Give It a Year (2013). Very English.
There will be spoilers, so if you don’t want to encounter spoilers, then you probably shouldn’t read any of this. If you don’t understand or appreciate British (English) Humour then you should probably stay clear of this movie. I have no idea why I thought this would be a suitable watch for my mother and I, it wasn’t. Nat and…
How Iron Man 3 Should Have Ended.
Obviously all kinds of spoilers. Oh man, Iron man 3, is basically The Incredibles. This just reminds me that I haven’t posted my Iron Man 3 review, I’ll get on that.
Welcome to Level 7.
Marvel is cashing in and cashing in fast! I should say that I love this new reboot of their film and TV franchise because it’s very rare that I can get my parents (who am I kidding, family) to watch and more importantly enjoy watching nerdy things with me. We all knew that they were…
Celeste and Jesse Forever (2012). It hurts.
There will be spoilers, so if you don’t want to encounter spoilers, then you probably shouldn’t read any of this. I can’t remember what I was watching or where I saw it, probably flicking through channels one day, but however it happened I came across a video clip for this movie. Rashida Jones…
Pitch Perfect (2012). Acca-scuse me? Acca-believe it!
A few months ago I was browsing Tumblr and I saw this hilarious gif set of Rebel Wilson on the set of her new movie Pitch Perfect and I couldn’t help but laugh. I watched the trailer and laughed some more, and from that I was pretty much sold. Tumblr is great for movie and…
Cosmoshit, or whatever.
When I first saw the trailer for Think Like a Man, I dismissed it as ‘Cosmoshit’. You know, bad advice masquerading as good advice, that promises women the opportunity to unlock the secrets of the male mind. I rolled my eyes at the premise of the whole thing, because see, I was enlightened. I bought…
Comic Books & The Avengers movie.
This movie is phenomenal. I’m always a little wary of calling myself a comic book fan because I’ll get tested and I’m pretty sure I’ll fail on the most basic cannon. I like comic books, I have a few of them laying around (none that are worth anything mind you). I wrote a dissertation paper…
George of the Jungle is the most romantic movie I know.
Watching it again yesterday before bed was just wonderful. I love how the characters have no major depth, its simplicity just makes it more believeable for me. Romantic movies always try too hard to show some major struggle because adversity is romantic right? George and Ursala were just a man and a woman who fell in love and…
