200 Followers!

-

Hey Guys x

I haven't really been engaging in the blogging community lately, and I'm really sorry about that! With the start of uni it's been a particularly busy couple of weeks, but I am firmly back in it and I'm excited to get posting again!

So, to welcome me back properly to the blogging world, I need to acknowledge something that happened a while ago that I just never mentioned.

I hit 200 bloglovin followers!!

I know that a lot of people don't really use bloglovin anymore, so the amount of followers might not mean anything to you, but I definitely still use bloglovin, so to have hit this goal is amazing to me and I'm really greatful to everyone that follows me!

This happened a while ago, but I was completely convinced that I was going to be unfollowed by the time I posted, so it wouldn't matter anyway.

But I figured, whether I get unfollowed and lose the 200, at one point, I have had 200 followers, so why not celebrate that?

It amazes me that, even when I'm not feeling my best, or not uploading frequently, there are still people who read my posts and are genuinely interested in what I have to say, so thanks so much for that, it's one of the reasons that blogging is (and will probably always be) one of my most loved hobbies.

I also wanted to use this post to address my blogging schedule - because right now, it's definitely a bit of a shambles!

So, when I started blogging, I would upload on Sundays and Mondays normally, I would do a book review on Wednesdays and a 'Girl Talk' post on Fridays. Then I decided that I didn't want to do the 'Girl Talk' posts, so I stuck with the same schedule, but also posted normally on Fridays. Then I decided I wouldn't do a book review every Wednesday, in fact, I stopped posting on Wednesdays all together.
And now, I try to do Mondays, Sundays and some Fridays, but it kind of is just like I post whenever I want to, which is hard for people trying to follow my posts.

So I'm creating a proper schedule, and forcing myself to be strict.

Each week, I will DEFINITELY be putting up posts on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays. Some Fridays will be 'Like A Writer' posts, but otherwise, the posts will be about anything and everything.

I want to take my blogging seriously, because I want my writing to be taken seriously by others, so the first step is to make and stick to a schedule.

Obviously, if something happens and I can't post, I won't beat myself up over it.

However, if something happens, I will tweet about it, so you can follow me on twitter here!

Also, if you want to help keep my follower count over 200 on bloglovin, follow me here!

Thanks so much for reading, and for sticking with me when I've been a bit of a shit blogger recently!

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

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!

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

If I Stay | Film Review

Hey Guys x This film is also a book, which I reviewed here last September. I saw this film for the first time a couple of weeks ago when it came on a Sky Movies for the first time. I had always wanted to watch it because I really enjoyed reading the book. But I have to say - and this is probably the only time I'll ever say this - the film was so much better than the book! It's about a girl called Mia who lives with her parents and younger brother Teddy. The film shows two completely different times. On the one hand, it shows Mia's life leading up to the main 'incident' of the film, and on the other hand, it shows everything that happens after the incident. In the film, Mia has to make some really tough decisions. I don't want to give too much away, but the main decision is whether she should stay or go, and there are a lot of reasons to do both, which is hard to digest, especially for a 7 year old. This film touched me in so many different ways - an
