Bria Lou Reviews

Hey Guys x So I haven't done a 'Favourites' post since December, and I think that I'm only going to do it monthly if I have something that I really want to talk about, rather than forcing myself to do it each month and then having some of the months feel either repetitive or sparse. Welcome to my first 'Favourites' post of 2020! Favourite Film (1): The Invisible Man I reviewed this film the day after I saw it because I was so excited to talk about it. You can read my review HERE , but to summarise, I really loved this film. I was waiting so long to see a really good horror movie, and I felt like this is what I'd been waiting for. I can't wait to watch it again! Favourite Film (2): Parasite Again, I reviewed this film when I first saw it, and you can read my review HERE , and again I'll just summarise by saying that it's amazing. But of course I don't need to say that, given that it won Best Picture (and three other awards) at th...

Hey Guys x It's been a little while since my last post (almost two weeks) but with this virus stuff, everything is a bit crazy at the moment! This is a movie that came out on Netflix a little while ago. After reading the description, I immediately added it to my list and watched it as soon as I got the chance. Evan (Seann William Scott) is a social worker and a new father, who is severely sleep-deprived. However, lack of sleep and hidden childhood traumas cause Evan to take his need for revenge to a dangerous level. I'm really disappointed that I didn't like the film as much as I wanted to. However, that doesn't mean that I didn't like it at all. The beginning of the film plays out like a cheesy 80s horror movie, which I loved because I love those old movies - the shitter, the better! But from there, the film goes crazy. It sets up it's tone by being weirdly and unnecessarily graphic. There were things that took me by surprise (in a ...

Hey Guys x I read and reviewed the prequel to this book sometime last year, and you can read my review here ! Bayview High is still reeling over the events surrounding the death of Simon Kelleher a year ago. But now, someone is stepping up to take Simon's place. Someone who uses a game of Truth or Dare to destroy the school from the inside out. But when personal secrets are revealed, and a death occurs, will the students of Bayview be able to discover who started the game before it's too late? Despite the fact that I was so annoyed with the ending of the first book that I had to write a spoiler-filled rant/review on it, I enjoyed the first book more than this one. Which isn't to say that this book isn't enjoyable, I just didn't like it as much. However, the one thing that I loved about it was the three main characters. This story doesn't focus on the same four characters as the first one, but the first four are linked well enough that you do...

Hey Guys x I remember seeing the trailer for this back in December when I was at the cinema. I didn't really know what it was about, but even from that I knew that this was something I wanted to see. When Cecilia's (Elisabeth Moss) abusive ex-boyfriend commits suicide, she should feel relieved. But weirdly, she feels like he's still with her. And when unexplainable things start happening to her, Cecilia knows  that Adrian (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) is involved. But can she get anyone to believe her before it's too late? I loved this film. I feel like I've been waiting a while for a really good horror film to come out - and here it is! I don't even know where to start with it, but I guess I'll start with the first scene, which to me was close to perfect. In the scene, Cecilia is trying to leave her boyfriend. It's amazing that we know nothing of either of these characters, but purely due to the way that Cecilia is acting, we find out everything we n...

Hey Guys x This is the sequel to 'To All The Boys I Loved Before', which I reviewed HERE  back in 2018. I absolutely loved the first film, so much so that I bought the trilogy of books. So I already knew where this film would go due to reading the book, but I was still really excited to see it! Lara Jean Covey (Lana Condor) and Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo) are a couple, and their relationship is stronger than ever. However, when Lara Jean's last love letter makes it's way back to her, it throws her for a loop. And when the recipient of that letter, John Ambrose (Jordan Fisher), comes back to town, Lara discovers that maybe her relationship with Peter isn't as strong as she thought. I really enjoyed this movie. I always knew I would. For a start, it picks up right where the other film left off. It takes absolutely no time to fall back in love with these characters. One thing that I was really happy about was that this didn't feel like a completely u...
