5 Films You Haven't Heard Of! | Blogmas Day 23

-
Hey Guys x

I can't believe Blogmas is almost over!

I'm posting every day until the end of December anyway, but it's still weird to think that I've been doing Blogmas posts for 23 days already! I'm definitely giving myself a break in January!

This is also my last movie-based post in Blogmas, so thanks to everyone who's commented on them and liked them, maybe I'll do something similar next year?

Anyway, for today's post, I'm going to highlight some maybe lesser-known movies that you guys might not have heard of, that I think are really amazing and should be more popular!

I hope you enjoy this post!

The Loft

This film is incredible! It's a psychological thriller about 5 married guys who buy a loft apartment together so that they can keep secrets from their wives. However, one morning the 5 guys discover that a woman has been killed in their loft and handcuffed to the bed. They are the only ones that have keys, so, which one is the killer?
There are twists and turns around every corner. I thought I guessed the ending like three times and I was wrong each time! Definitely worth a watch!

Carriers

This film is quite old, but I only saw it for the first time a few weeks ago. It's about a group of friends who are trying to survive amidst the arrival of a deadly virus that's wiped out everyone they know.
It's a really good film and you really feel for the characters, hoping that they won't also be infected with the disease. It's not the best film in the world, but it more than makes up for that with the tension and excitement!

Raise Your Voice

I haven't seen this film in years, but I know that it's still as amazing as it was when I watched it years ago. It's about a girl called Terri who wants to be a singer. However, after a tragic event, her father doesn't want her to sing, and when she gets accepted into a prestigious music school, he doesn't want her to go. So she has to make the choice, does she live her life the way that her father wants her to, or does she follow her dreams?
Definitely watch this if you can because it's such a great film that you can watch over and over again!

Disturbia

Here is another great thriller. Shia LaBeouf plays a boy who has lost his father, and who (for one reason or another) is on house arrest. He gets bored not being able to leave the house and decides to watch his neighbours. However, things get very sinister when he thinks that one of his neighbours is a murderer.
A great watch, really tense and exciting that you can't tear your eyes away from!

The Last King of Scotland

This film is, in a word, intense! It's a story about a fictional character (played by James McAvoy) who worked alongside Idi Amin, the real Ugandan president (played by Forest Whitaker). The film mixes facts about what Amin really did with fiction, and is successfully the scariest film I've ever seen, including all the horror movies that I watch on a near-daily basis. Definitely see this, everyone needs to watch this film!

Thank you for reading.

It's 2 days until Christmas!

Come back tomorrow for Blogmas day 24!

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

-

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
