1 Month!

-
I can't actually believe it, but it's been exactly one month since I began blogging and the followers and comments that I have received have been amazing, making me want to continue blogging for as long as I can!

I couldn't decide what I wanted to blog about today, but because it's bank holiday, I thought that I would tell you about the things that I have done today.

I began my day by logging into my laptop and watching as many YouTube videos as I could. Here are some of my favourites:







I then went out for lunch with some family members. It was pouring with rain and the last thing that I wanted to do was to leave my house, but I figured that if you don't get off the sofa once in a while you'll completely miss everything around you.

We ended up eating at 'Frankie and Benny's'




Being the boring person that I am, I opted for a plain cheese pizza for my main meal. It was completely delicious and I would definitely go there again and get the exact same thing!

For dessert, I got brownies with cream and ice cream. As small as the brownies were, they were perfect for me as I try to eat as little diary as possible, but the taste was so amazing that I could have had another few.

The service at the particular restaurant was so lovely that I would completely recommend everyone reading to go there immediately if you're stuck at home one day with nothing to do. Check out the menu here: http://www.frankieandbennys.com/

Then we drove home, still in the pouring rain:




















Now I am going to continue watching YouTube videos and generally procrastinating until I go to sleep.

Thank you for reading.

Venom: The Last Dance | Film Review

While on the run, Eddie Brock and Venom (Tom Hardy) are pursued by a dangerous military organisation. But when aliens from Venom's home world come to Earth, the pair have to make a devastating decision that will change their lives forever. I watched the first Venom movie when it came out years ago, didn't really like it that much, and subsequently didn't watch the second. But totally randomly last week I decided to re-watch the first movie, and ended up liking it enough to also watch the second. And as soon as I finished that, I went to the cinema to see this new one. I really liked this film - it was so much better than I thought it was going to be! My favourite thing about this franchise is the relationship between Eddie and Venom, and for me this film was the best version of the characters together. Because, while the comedic moments between the pair are still there, there's a lot more heart in this story than there has been previously, and this is especially evident

The Great Dictator | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up for the bucket list was a film that I hadn't heard of. I'm familiar with Charlie Chaplin, but moreso for his silent films than for anything else, so I didn't really have any idea what this film would be about. And once I did look up the premise, it wasn't one that I was particularly excited to see. I knew that it probably wouldn't be one of my favourites, so it wasn't a surprise that I didn't love it. For a start, as a fan of some of Chaplin's other movies, this movie felt very different, which caught me a bit off guard I appreciated the satire, but it might just be that it isn't as funny for a modern audience, or maybe that it's just not my kind of humour, but a lot of it didn't work for me. It also felt way longer than it needed to be. The runtime itself wasn't a problem as it's just over 2 hours, but a lot of the scenes felt like they could have been shorter. The themes of the film were very ambitious for when it was made.

Seven Samurai | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up for the bucket list was another movie I'd never heard of. The premise was an interesting one, but a 2.5 hour samurai movie wasn't something that I was itching to see.  Nevertheless once I started watching it I became really engrossed in the story and characters. For a start, the acting was great. Nothing about the film felt inauthentic, the characters felt like real people and when you're watching it, you're instantly rooting for them. This is also down to the writing and direction. Every aspect of the way the film is made has been done really well. While the film wasn't one of my favourites, there's no doubt about the way it has shaped cinema. It's regarded as one of the most 'remade, reworked, referenced' films in cinema, and the basic premise shows how true that is. I feel like I've seen a good few films based loosely on this premise and it always works because it's a classic underdog story. If you've never heard of this movi

Brokeback Mountain | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up was one of my most highly anticipated re-watches. I probably watch this film once a year - I love it too much not to watch it, but it's sad enough that I don't need to watch it more than that. I don't remember the first time I saw the film, but I remember the effect it has always had on me. The movie is so powerful, it has so much to say, with messages that could still be applied to the world today. I can't praise either the filmmaking or the performances highly enough. You can tell that the film was made with passion and respect, that everyone involved put everything they had into telling this story in the right way. And that includes the actors. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal were phenomenal in these roles, their chemistry was amazing and I can't imagine anyone else playing these iconic characters. This film is also one of those rare cases where a movie is better than the book it's based on. The movie is based on a short story, and the story is a g

Her | 100 Movies Bucket List

This one was a re-watch that I was really looking forward to seeing again. I first saw it around the time Joker came out and I remember really liking it, so it was one that I saved until later in the bucket list so I could have something to look forward to. But weirdly, my experience of it was completely different on this re-watch. The things about the main character that I found endearing originally put me off this time around. I didn't really like the character at all and I couldn't connect with him. I also didn't find it as profound as I remember finding it the first time. The love story didn't feel as innocent or endearing and I never felt truly invested. I don't know if it's because of how AI-heavy the world is right now, but it just felt really weird. I do like the concept, but I think the characters are where it fell down a bit for me. And that's not to say I hated the film this time. I still think it's a good film that's well-made, it just wa
