DVD Cabinet Tour | C

-


Hey Guys x

I guess, because I've done two of these already, this post is kind of self explanatory, but in case you haven't read the first two posts (here and here) I'll explain what I'm doing.

Basically, I and my family kind of collect DVDs, so we have this huge cabinet filled with movies throughout the years. Because there's so much history there, I thought that it would be interesting to show you guys the DVDs that we have.

I also thought that, for the movies that I've seen, I'll do a mini-review, so you can see if you'd like to watch them too!

Anyway, let me get on with it!

The Cabin At Sorrow Creek

This is probably one of the only horror movies in the cabinet that I haven't seen yet, so I can't tell you whether it's good or bad. It's about a group of friends (2 sisters, one sister's boyfriend and the boyfriend's best friend) travel away from their busy lives in New York. However, a fishing accident leads them to find one of the most haunted places in America! I think it sounds great, but as I said, I haven't seen it yet!

Camp Rock

This film was one of the main films of my childhood, and if you grew up watching Disney Channel, it was probably one of yours too! It's about a group of talented teenage musicians who go to stay at Camp Rock to practice their talent. Mitchie is a girl working in the kitchen with her mother, who actually has an amazing voice! When teen idol Shane Gray hears her voice, he makes it his mission to discover who the voice belongs to... at all costs! I haven't seen it in ages but it was a great film!

Celebrity Juice - Too Juicy For TV

Celebrity Juice is a TV series in the UK. It's a panel show where the hosts make their celebrity guests do really weird, silly things. It's really funny and they always have really great guests! This DVD is some of their best bits and deleted scenes. But be warned, there's a lot of sexual content, among other things, that makes this not suitable for under 15s!

Changing Lanes

I don't know what this is about, however, it stars Ben Affleck and Samuel L Jackson so it can't be a bad film surely?

Changeling
 
I also haven't seen this, but I know quite a lot about it. It's a true story about a woman who's son goes missing, and it's set in 1928. Eventually, the police bring home a boy thought to be her son, but the woman knows that this stranger is not her son, and she fights as hard as she can to get him back to her. It's such a sad story, but so poignant and amazing!
 
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory


This is not the classic film, but rather the Johnny Depp version, a remake of the Roald Dahl book of the same name. It's about a boy called Charlie who gets the chance to visit Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. Personally, I like the original film better than this one, but this one is great all the same!

Charlie's Angels


I haven't seen this, and I don't really know what it's about, but Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu are amazing actresses, and having them all together in a film must be incredible!

The Color Purple

It's really weird to spell colour as color! This is an amazing film, completely amazing. It's about a girl called Celie who, when we first see her, is 14 and pregnant with her father's baby. We see Celie's life through 40 years and experience the abuse that she faces as she faces it, as well as looking at the racial segregation in America. Honestly, one of the most important films I've ever seen!

Collateral

I haven't seen this, but it stars Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. It's about a cab driver who finds himself held hostage by a killer who rides his cab. It's a thriller and it sounds really exciting!

A Cinderella Story

If you haven't seen this, where have you been? It's a modern day Cinderella story, starring Hillary Duff as a girl who's been talking to Chad Michael Murray online, only to discover that they go to school together and that he's the popular boy that always ignored her. Complete with evil step mother and 'ugly' step-sisters, this is a film that should not be missed! And please go and watch the trailer if you haven't seen it because my description doesn't do it justice!

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

This is a classic, but I've seen it so long ago that I can't really remember anything about it other than the fact that there's a flying car!

The Children

This is a horror film with a twist, as it's about two families who go on holiday together, but rather than an adult being the killer, it's the children that these adults should be wary of! It's a great film, but a bit gory if you're not into that kind of thing!

Cheaper by the Dozen (1&2)

I love these movies! Their about a couple who has 12 kids, and all the different things that they get up to. These films are just so feel-good and funny, and I really enjoy seeing all of the different personalities of the kids. These films really just make me wish I grew up with a huge family!

Thank you for reading

Comment below which of these films you've seen!

    Really nice post. I haven't watched the color purple, but sounds bad already, but courage needs be to watch it. for Charlie's angels you've got to watch it, so much action, and so totally different from many a films, plus there's a 2. still waiting for 3, lolls. don't have to be done, but still waiting :). for Cinderella story, because of the original Cinderella, I ran away from watching that film, so maybe shall watch from you've review. it was popular though. take care again. i love your series.

    I've seen a few of these, but I think my favourite is almost definitely Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17

-

  It's Blogmas day 17! When Cathy (Lacey Chabert) accidentally brings a snowman to life, she discovers the magic Jack the snowman (Dustin Milligan) brings to the town of Hope Springs. This is the third of four highly anticipated Netflix Christmas originals this year that I'm including in Blogmas. And while it's not the most original story, I've always loved the idea of Jack Frost, so I was excited to see it. Thankfully I liked this one - though maybe not as much as I wanted to. I really liked the character of Cathy. Not only was she really likeable, but because we get to know her so quickly, we can really root for her. I also loved the tone of the film. It didn't take itself seriously at all and made it clear to the audience that we're just there to have fun. All of the actors, main and supporting, were great. They were so much fun to watch and all played their characters really well. The chemistry between Cathy and Jack is great! You really want to see them tog...

Christmas Holidate | Blogmas Day 19

-
Image
  It's Blogmas day 19! When Holly (Jasmine Burke) uses her company's app to find a date to bring home for the holidays, a glitch in the app causes more than one date to turn up. This film had an interesting premise because it seemed really original, and it looked like there would be a lot of chances for fun and humour. I didn't end up liking it as much as I wanted to. But one thing I liked was how much more modern it felt than most of the other movies I've watched for Blogmas this year. Even just the idea of her finding her date(s) through an app is original for a Christmas film. It's nice that the movie was family-focused, but the family it focuses on aren't that interesting and can't really carry the story. The main couple have chemistry and it was fun to watch them interact, but I never really cared about them one way or the other. And if for some reason they didn't end up together, it wouldn't have mattered to me. It took about 40 minutes for the...

Holiday for Hire | Blogmas Day 20

  It's Blogmas day 20! After getting dumped right before going home for the holidays, Katie (Christie Leverette) hires a man to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of her family. Finally a fake dating trope! A couple of the films this year have played with the theme, but this one really goes for it and I love that! But as much as I loved the premise, the film didn't really live up to it. However, one thing I loved as much as I loved the premise was Katie. Right from the beginning she was a character I could get behind and really root for. I also really loved Katie's roommate Sarah (Jeanne Lau) and I wish she had been given more to do, and more of a story. Why is she spending Christmas alone?? I tried not to look at the film from a point of realism, as this is a Christmas movie after all, but where was the sense of safety? The main couple are complete strangers at the start and it felt weird to see how quickly they trusted each other. And while I liked the characters intera...

A Christmas Proposal | Blogmas Day 16

-
Image
  It's Blogmas day 16! When Jason (Joshua T. Shipman) is forced to move for work, and his girlfriend cannot go with him because they are not married, he creates an elaborate plan to propose by Christmas. So apparently there are two films with the same name, made in the same year, and it looks like I picked the worst of the two! From the very beginning, the tone of the film is really odd. It was taking itself way too seriously for what is supposed to be a light Christmas movie. The plot didn't really make much sense. A few times throughout the film there was a point made that the character didn't want to be with his girlfriend, and had actually requested a be transferred to get away from her. So why are we watching him plan a proposal? Why is he planning a proposal in the first place? There were really weird moments throughout the film where the sound quality would drastically change when a character was speaking but not on camera, despite supposedly being in the same room. ...

Christmas on Ice | Blogmas Day 21

Image
  It's Blogmas day 21! Former figure skater Courtney (Abigail Klein) teams up with former hockey player Noah (Ryan Cooper) to save the local ice skating rink from closing. I picked this one because it just seemed so quintessentially rom-com-y that I had no choice! And it also seemed like it would be really Christmassy, which is always important for a Christmas film. Unfortunately this one wasn't as romantic as it could have been. But I will say the Christmas part holds up - is there anything more Christmassy than ice skating?? My main gripe with the film is that I completely fell in love with a couple and was willing to spent all my time and energy on them. The only problem was, it wasn't the main couple! It was the side couple who were given no time! If the main couple of this film had been Beth (Caroline Portu) and Trevor (Matthew Grimaldi) this could have been a great Christmas movie. I really liked what little I saw of them and wanted so much more than the film gave us....
