Bria Lou Reviews

Hey Guys x It's another review for you today! Sorry it took me so long to do this one, I saw this ages ago! From my Spider-Man: Homecoming review, you'll know that I'm a big fan of comic book movies. I started by being a fan of Marvel exclusively, but I've now seen all the films in the DCEU (DC Extended Universe) so far, leading up to Justice League, and I can say that I'm also a huge DC fan. Particularly of Wonder Woman. Diana Prince was raised on the Island of Themyscira, with a race of Amazonian warrior women created by Zeus. In 1918, Diana rescues Steve Trevor, when his place crashes on their island. From him, she hears about the war that people in the real world were fighting. Believing that it is the work of Ares, the Greek God of War, she goes with Steve to London, so that she can put an end to Ares once and for all. However, is there more to mankind than meets the eye? And if there is, does Diana belong in this war? I loved this film. I ha...

Hey Guys x I'm in an emotional mood, so I thought it was only right to write this post! I was writing a fanfiction, called Rogue, from 2nd January 2016 until April this year, and when I finished it, it felt really weird. The character of Rogue was someone that I had been building before I even knew that this was something that I was going to write. I had her powers figured out before I even knew her name, I imagined myself as her in every film before my fingers even touched the keyboard, she was and is attached to me in a way that's difficult to explain. I lived with her, I was her, I was her best friend, her conscience, her God, her everything. I'm trying not to get too deep! But for me, when I create a character, sometimes they tend to just stay in my words on the page, they never make it into the real world. Rogue was definitely different, I feel like she jumped off the page and made her way into the actual Marvel Universe, which would have been ...

Hey Guys x As you can tell, today's post is another movie review. If you read my blog, you know I'm a huge fan of comic book movies, particularly those within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as this film is. However, my review will be completely unbiased, and only based on what I thought about this particular film. The film takes place right after (and technically during) the events of Captain America: Civil War (the last MCU movie to feature Spider-man). Peter Parker has helped Tony Stark fight against Captain America and now he's gone back to his normal life, just waiting for a call from Stark or Happy Hogan, telling him when the next mission will take place. He waits... and waits... and waits. However, one night, Peter stumbles upon something he shouldn't have, and he realises that, no matter what Stark tells him, he can't just walk away. What's the point of having the suit if he can't change the world? But when things get more and ...

Hey Guys x It's time for another favourites post. Each month I apologise for my lack of posts, and I'm gonna do that again right now. I have plans for posts that I sometimes can't be bothered to write, and then I feel so guilty when I see that the blog hasn't been updated in a while. I'm not gonna promise to upload more often, because I don't know if I will. But I will promise to write more, because I really miss it when I don't. Anyway, let's get on with my favourites! Favourite Movie: Spider-Man: Homecoming I will write an in-depth non-spoiler review of this, but as of right now I'll just say that I really really enjoyed this movie. So many people have described it as 'fun', but I thought that there were times when it got really deep and heartfelt and... emotional. But yeah, there is a lot of fun, and it's also quite funny which is great! I'm not sure about comparing it to the other Spider-Man movies, but as a stand-alone...

Hey Guys x I have to start this post with a massive apology, from and to myself. My third blogiversary was in April, and I completely missed it. It's weird and sad to think that it didn't even cross my mind for a split second that month, it completely escaped me. I have no idea why. I didn't post a lot in April anyway, I think maybe about 5 times. In fact, this whole year hasn't been great in terms of blogging. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things now, but I can't say it's easy. Sometimes blogging feels pointless, and other times it feels like the best thing in the world. I'm trying to find that healthy balance. However, no matter how many times I've posted this year, it's still my third year of blogging, and that should definitely be celebrated! I've managed to keep blogging for three years, which is amazing, if I do say so myself. It's without a doubt my longest-running hobby and I still love it, despite fall...

Hey Guys x Ever since I first started watching Jack Howard, he's always talked about this film. So when I decided to watch a bunch of movies this summer, this was close to the top of my list. The film stars Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake (amongst others) and is about how 'Facebook' came to be. However, although Facebook is the umbrella that the film is based on, what it's actually about is a lawsuit that it taking place between it's creator Mark Zuckerberg, his best friend, and twins who claim that Zuckerberg stole the idea from them. The one word that I'd use to describe this film is interesting. Really interesting, so intriguing. Just the basic premise of becoming famous due to creating something so amazing from scratch is such an interesting thing to think about. And then you have to think about the kind of person who would do that, and the way that it would effect them. Something that struck me whilst watching this fi...

Hey Guys x Sophie Kinsella is one of my favourite authors in the world so of course I read her new book. The book is about Katie. She has an amazing life. She lives in London (her dream) has a great job with an inspiring boss, and does amazing things every day that make for amazing insta pics. Or so her social media profiles would have you believe. Actually, Katie's life isn't what it seems. Her London apartment is actually a tiny mess, her job is repetitive, her boss is infuriating and her insta pics belong to the life of some other Londoner. But she's sticking it out. After all, living in London is her dream. However, when Katie's infuriating boss Demeter gives her the sack, she can't help but feel incredibly angry. How is it fair for Demeter with the perfect life to single-handedly destroy hers?! So when they cross paths again, Katie has one thing on her mind - revenge. But is Demeter's life as perfect as it seems? That was a long-winded expla...
