20,000 Views!!

Hey Guys x
 
So, on Friday, I hit 20,000 views on this blog and I immediately took this picture (above) and uploaded it to twitter because I couldn't believe it!
 
Since then, I have since acquired a further 283 views and I could not be happier!
 
I posted '10,000' views back in January, so I thought I would use this post to show you how much things have changed in the last 4 months.
 
First of all, it amazes me that it took me 9 months to get 10,000 views, and only 4 months to get to 20,000. It's kind of hard to believe!
 
When I hit 10,000 views, I had 46 followers on bloglovin and over 400 comments altogether.
 
Now, I have hit 20,000 views, 70 followers and 964 comments, nearing 1,000, and I can't believe how far I've come!
 
I've expressed my love for Disney, uploaded recipes, reviewed countless books and films, and I interviewed one of my favourite authors!
 
Every time I post, my blog just expresses more and more of me, and I love that!
 
A lot of you guys like finding out more about me and I love sharing things with you, and my blog really allows me to do that.
 
Anyway, this post isn't going to be that long.
 
I just want to say a massive thank you!
 
I obviously would not have reached 20,000 views without you guys that read my posts and I cannot express how much that means to me, and how hard it is to get my head around.
 
With exams coming up, I've been posting less and having less time to do different things. However, blogging is one thing that I always make time for (even if it means not posting on Wednesdays) because I am really passionate about it and I really love it!
 
So, if you've ever commented, followed or viewed anything that I've posted, thank you so much because I can't even describe how much this means to me.
 
And I promise that you'll be getting a lot more posts when my exams finish because I'll have a lot more time!
 
Thank you for reading.
 
Comment below your latest milestone (blogging or otherwise)
 
Keep Smiling - Lou xx

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
