March Post Round-Up | 2021

-

 

I've really enjoyed doing this post for the last two months, and as April has gone so quickly, it's nice to take the time to look back at March.

The Map of Tiny Perfect Things | Film Review - This was my first review of March. I liked the idea of the film, but wasn't in love with the end result.

I Care a Lot | Film Review - I went into this film with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. I recently watched it again and it's definitely as good as I thought it was!

Shook | Film Review - This is a Shudder original horror movie. I didn't love the film, but I appreciated the unique premise.

Review #83: Still Me by Jojo Moyes - I spent the best part of February reading this book, so I was happy to finally review it. I didn't love it, but I was happy to get to the end of Lou Clark's story.

Anything For Jackson | Film Review - This is another Shudder original. And again, while I liked it more than Shook, I liked the premise more than the execution.

You Should Have Left | Film Review - This is a horror movie that I completely fell in love with. I still don't really know why it grabbed me so much, but I still love it now.

It's A Sin | TV Show Review - This was an amazing TV show. Even now, over a month since I watched it, I still find myself thinking about it. Watch this show!

Waves | Film Review - It took me ages to finally watch this film, and when I did it wasn't what I expected. However, it's a really good movie that I really enjoyed.

Babyteeth | Film Review - It took me a while to watch this, and I ended up not liking it that much. However, I do understand why other people do.

Zack Snyder's Justice League | Film Review - I was so excited to finally see this and it certainly didn't disappoint. Why was this not the original version?!

February Round-Up Post | 2021 - This one is self explanatory, given the post that you're currently reading.

Life in a Year | Film Review - This was one that I hadn't heard about before watching, but I really enjoyed it.

Review #84: Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid - I read this book in about 5 days and was really interested. However, after reading, I realised that it wasn't as enjoyable as I thought it was.

3 Month Favourites | January - March 2021 - And my last post of March - my 3 month favourites. I love doing this posts, and I think I love them more now that I only do them a few times a year.

And those are my March posts! Please check out any that you missed!

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

-

  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

  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....
