Book Review #32: Unsaid Things by McFly

-
Sorry this wasn't up yesterday, I've been really sick for the past few days!

 
I completely love McFly, seriously. I have always been into BoyBands and they are no exception. I don't know what it is about them that attracted me to them in the first place, but I think it has to do with the fact that they play their own instruments and are such genuinely nice people. I was a fan of them before reading this book for the first time, but reading this confirmed my love for them.
 
As you can probably tell from the cover, this is an autobiography. It begins with each of the boys talking a bit about their childhoods, which I found really interesting because, as a fan, I never really knew about their childhoods, or their lives before 'McFly', before reading this book. It then goes into how they got together and what they did as a band. As in how they wrote songs and who had what role in the band. It explains how they got into relationships with Giovanna, Izzy, Georgia and Lara. I loved this part because, now, Giovanna and Tom, Izzy and Harry and Danny and Georgia are married, so it shows the way that the relationships developed. And as a lover of romance, this really made me happy! They then got into the subject of depression, which Tom and Dougie both went through in different ways, and how they are now overcoming this. Moving on to Strictly Come Dancing, Popstar to Operastar and 'I'm a Celebrity...' you can really see how they have grown up!
 
What was good?
I think the thing that I enjoyed the most about the book was that you can really see that they are genuinely great friends, which is why they have managed to stay together for 11 years! I just, from a fan's point of view, loved getting a new perspective on their lives and finding out so much more about them. Nothing is off limits with the book and I respect the fact that they are willing to share all of their darkest secrets with their fans, which I loved to read!
 
What was bad?
There was nothing that I didn't love about this book. However, if you're not a fan of McFly, then there really is no point in buying and reading this book, because it will mean nothing to you. But I guess the point of this book was for the fans only!
 
Overall
If you're a fan of McFly and haven't read this book, where have you been? This is the ultimate must-read for any and all McFly and McBusted fans, so really buy this if you haven't, you will not regret it!
 
Thank you for reading
Sorry it was short. As I said, I'm not feeling too well xx

Road House (2024) | Film Review

-
Image
When ex-UFC fighter Dalton (Jake Gyllenhaal) takes a job as a bouncer at a roadhouse, he soon finds that his past is quickly catching up to him. I've never seen the original Road House, and when I put this one on I wasn't really planning to review it, but I found myself really getting into it. I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Both the characters and the story were a lot more engaging and compelling than I thought they would be. The story sucked me in right from the beginning and I was interested the whole way through. The cast is great, but Jake Gyllenhaal completely carries the film and plays the character of Dalton really well. Again, I can't compare his performance to the original, but I really like the character. The fight scenes, which are pretty much what the film is about, are done really well. They're entertaining, but they also do a good job of moving the story forward. I think the reason I liked the film so much was because I didn't take it

Wonka | Film Review

-
Image
Young Willy Wonka (Timothée Chalamet) tries to follow his dreams to become a respected chocolatier, despite opposition at every turn . This film was never particularly high on my 'to-watch' list, but it was always on my radar, so I'm glad I've finally seen it. I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would, but I still definitely had problems with it! For a start, while I love the fact that it was a musical, I didn't actually like any of the actual songs. None of them really stood out (except the one that's already known) and having only seen the film yesterday, I can't remember any of them. In fact, while the songs didn't hurt the film, I also don't feel like they were completely necessary. I would have liked the film the same amount if it hadn't been a musical. Wonka is a really charming character, and Chalamet plays him really well. In fact, the entire cast is great - definitely the best thing about the film by a mile. The relationship b

Scarface (1983) | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up for the Bucket List was another first-time watch! I'd seen the original 1932 film years ago and really liked it, but I never got around to watching this (undoubtedly more popular) version, so I'm glad it was on the list. I really really liked this movie. I'm not sure if I like it more than, or the same as the original, but I definitely had a great time with it. One thing about finally seeing all these classic movies is seeing how much impact they've had on pop culture, and this film is definitely no exception. It's so quotable, there are so many iconic images, and it's one that everyone should watch if they haven't seen it before. The most talked-about aspect of this film is probably the violence, and that's so interesting to see. Not only the way it's spoken about, but also the difference between violence in older films like this and newer releases. I personally thought the violence was done well, and while probably not all of it was strictl

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

-

Hey Guys x Today's post might come out as more of a rant, which I'm OK with because I haven't ranted about something in a while! Last year, I started watching the show '8 Simple Rules' when it started playing on Comedy Central. It originally came on between 2002 and 2005 but I didn't watch it when it was first on. Anyway, I really got into it. There were only three seasons, so it was over before I wanted it to be. And I loved this show, and I still love it. Comedy Central doesn't play it anymore but if it did I would dive right back into it because I love a good sitcom. However, I have a major gripe with a plotline of the show, that got more prominent in season 2/3. Let me just explain the characters a bit, so you know who I'm taking about in case you never watched it. The show revolves around a family, Paul and Cate Hennessy, and their children Bridget, Kerry and Rory. In the second season, the father in the show died (due

The Matrix | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up for the Bucket List was a first-time watch. This is one that I had obviously heard of but knew next to nothing about. I found that it took a long time for me to connect with the story, and even then, while the film was interesting to watch, I never felt particularly invested in it. There were a lot of recognisable, iconic moments that I appreciated, and I get how much of an impact it had on sci-fi (and probably movies in general), but I don't know if it was for me. I somewhat enjoyed it, I understood everything that happened, but never felt connected, and didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. It could just be that I need to re-watch it, and I probably will, but for a first watch, I didn't take to it as much as I wanted to. But that being said, I'm glad I finally watched it!
