DVD Cabinet Tour | D + E

-



Hey Guys x

I haven't done one of these in over a month (because I had a break from blogging) and I really missed doing it!
For those who don't know, I have a huge cabinet full of DVDs, so I thought it would be fun to show you guys the movies that I do have, and do a mini-review of the ones that I've seen!

Let me know if you've seen any of them!

Daddy's Little Girls


 This is such a nice film! It's about a man (Played by Idris Elba) who is a father of three, and wants to get full custody of the children, against their mother who spends time with drug dealers and isn't the best role model. Along the way he meets Julia, a kick-ass lawyer who takes on his case. It's a great film, about how hard it is for a father to gain sole custody of his children, and I think it's worth a watch!
 
David Blaine - Mystifier
 
 
I'm not a huge fan of magic, so this doesn't really appeal to me. However, it's a documentary about David Blaine, who is a magician, and the tricks that he does. Mainly it just shows him doing different tricks, which will probably be interesting to some people!
 
Death At A Funeral
 
 
I haven't seen this film yet, but it's definitely on my list! It's about a family that reunites at a funeral, but when things go from bad to worse, will this family ever solve their problems? It looks so funny, so I can't wait to watch it!
 
The Devil Wears Prada
 
 
This is such an iconic film! It stars Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, and it's about a woman who isn't really into fashion, who gets a job at a fashion magazine. All seems fine, until she meets her boss, Miranda Priestly, and realises just what she's let herself in for! If you haven't seen this film, watch it, because it's so great!
 
Devil's Due
 
This is a horror film that I really enjoyed! It's about a newly-wed couple, Samantha and  who get back from their honeymoon to discover that they're having a baby. It's earlier than planned, but they're both really happy. That is, until Sam starts acting weird. She begins becoming aggressive, eating raw meat (despite being a vegetarian) and exhibiting super-strength, amongst other things. From the name of the film, you can kind of guess what's happening, but if not I won't spoil it!
 
Diary Of A Mad Black Woman
 
 
This is a film that I saw when I was young, and loved so much! It's the story of a woman who has been thrown out of her home by her husband who has been having an affair. It's a comedy though, with a serious message. It also features a character called 'Madea' that is played by Tyler Perry, and is probably the funniest person that I've watched!
 
Die Another Day (James Bond)
 
 
I've never seen a James Bond film or been that much of a fan, so I haven't seen this. However, James Bond is played by Pierce Brosnan, and I think this is one of the earlier Bond films.
 
Domestic Disturbance
 
 
This film start John Travolta and Vince Vaughn and is about a man who discovers that his son's stepfather is not who he claims to be. I haven't seen this film in ages so I don't really know the plot, but it sounds great!
 
Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark
 
 

This is a horror film that stars Katie Holmes and Guy Pearce. It's about a young girl who is sent to stay with her father and his new girlfriend, where she believes contains creatures in the basement. I probably didn't describe it well, but it is quite a good film that's not that scary.
 
Dreamgirls
 
 
This film has one of the best soundtracks to a musical I've ever heard! It stars Beyoncé, Jennifer Hudson, Eddie Murphy and Jamie Foxx among other amazing actors/singers and is about a girl group who have to question where their loyalties lie when the lead singer is changed. Great film!
 
The Echo
 
 
This is another horror movie! I know I've seen it, but I can't remember it that well. It's about an ex-convict who moves into his late-mother's house after getting released from prison. However, this home is more sinister than he could have ever imagined. I get the feeling that it wasn't good enough to watch a second time, but if you're a horror fan, you might want to add it to your collection!
 
End Of Days
 
 
I haven't seen this film, so I have no opinion of it. It's set in 1999 with the millennium approaching, when people start seeing signs that Satan has returned to Earth, looking for a woman to bear his child. Satan is played by Arnold Schwarzenegger (I think I spelt that right!), but to be honest, I don't think I'm going to watch this any time soon!
 
Equilibrium
 
 
 This film stars Christian Bale and Taye Diggs, but I haven't seen it so have no idea what it's about!
 
Evan Almighty
 
 
Evan Almighty is the sequel to Bruce Almighty, a film about a man who became God and had to deal with the challenges that came with that. I assume this film has kind of the same plot line but I don't really know because I haven't seen it!
 
Thank you for reading.
 
Comment below which (if any!) of these films you've seen!

    I've only seen Evan Almighty! Although, I'd be interested in seeing the others!

Wonka | Film Review

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

American Psycho | 100 Movies Bucket List

This one was a re-watch. I'd seen this film once before watching it for the Bucket List. My memories of it weren't wholly positive - I didn't love the first watch, and while I didn't hate it, it wasn't a film that I was itching to watch again. Though saying that, I knew that I probably would watch it again eventually, because I knew how much of a classic it was. Like a lot of films I've watched for the Bucket List, I liked it more this time around than I did the first time, though I still didn't love it as much as I wanted to. But that being said, I did really enjoy it. The writing was great and Christian Bale was amazing in the role, as were the supporting actors. For me, though, the most iconic thing about this movie is its soundtrack. The songs used are amazing and fit the movie so well. They're used in such a unique, original way, that it feels like this alone makes the movie a classic. The film is really well made, and even though I don't love i

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!
