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!

The Green Mile | 100 Movies Bucket List

This was a first-time watch, but one that had been on my list for years, so I'm glad the Bucket List forced me to finally watch it! What a movie! I don't really know what I was expecting, but I didn't expect to be as affected by it as I was. Because this film really touched me. I was emotionally invested, engaged, immersed, devastated, broken and everything in between. I'm still not over it. There are so many things to praise about this movie, starting with the performances. Every actor was amazing in their respective role, but the two clear standouts are Michael Clarke Duncan and Tom Hanks. I've seen quite a few Tom Hanks movies, and I can honestly say that this is the first time I've completely loved a performance of his, he was amazing in this role. And Michael Clarke Duncan was phenomenal and completely made the film what it is. Then there's the writing and direction, both of which were incredible. The story is so powerful, which is due to, what I assume

Book Review #127: The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

-
Image
After the events of 'The Inheritance Games', Avery still doesn't know why Tobias Hawthorne left her his entire fortune. All she knows for sure is that she isn't a Hawthorne. But when she discovers something that suggests she's closer to the Hawthorne family than she ever imagined, Avery, along with the mysterious Hawthorne brothers, try to find the truth once and for all . I reviewed the first book, 'The Inheritance Games', HERE , and said that because I didn't love it, I wasn't really interested in reading the sequels. I picked this book up on the spur of the moment, because while I didn't love the first, I was kind of curious about what came next. I'm so glad I decided to pick this up, because I liked it a lot more than the first one! One of my criticisms the first time around was that I felt Avery was quite juvenile and childish. This time around was entirely different - I really liked being in her head, and she definitely seemed more matu

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

Hey Guys x Today's post might come out as more of a rant, which I'm OK with because I haven't ranted about something in a while! Last year, I started watching the show '8 Simple Rules' when it started playing on Comedy Central. It originally came on between 2002 and 2005 but I didn't watch it when it was first on. Anyway, I really got into it. There were only three seasons, so it was over before I wanted it to be. And I loved this show, and I still love it. Comedy Central doesn't play it anymore but if it did I would dive right back into it because I love a good sitcom. However, I have a major gripe with a plotline of the show, that got more prominent in season 2/3. Let me just explain the characters a bit, so you know who I'm taking about in case you never watched it. The show revolves around a family, Paul and Cate Hennessy, and their children Bridget, Kerry and Rory. In the second season, the father in the show died (due

Anyone But You | Film Review

After a great first date that quickly goes bad, Bea (Sydney Sweeney) and Ben (Glen Powell) despise each other. But when they are both invited to a destination wedding, they decide to fake date to stop their animosity from ruining the wedding celebrations. I didn't pay much attention to this film until I started seeing the reviews. I haven't seen a really good rom-com in a while, so hearing that this was quite a good one made me excited to see it! I liked this film, but I didn't love it. The meet-cute was really fun and unique, and a good way for the audience to get to know the characters. The cast is great, and the characters are all played really well. The main characters in particular are really fun to watch, especially when they're arguing. The dialogue is written really well and it's an enjoyable watch, but I never felt like I really got to know them, and so I never felt 100% invested in their stories. And with that, while I enjoyed their interactions, I never r

Where Rainbows End vs. Love, Rosie | Film and Book Review

-

I've just finished reading 'Where Rainbows End' by Cecelia Ahern, and immediately had to watch the movie version, 'Love, Rosie'. The reason that I've decided to talk about them together, as opposed to only reviewing the book, is mainly because I didn't have enough to say about the book on its own to justify reviewing it. Alex (Sam Claflin) and Rosie (Lily Collins) have been best friends since childhood. But when they turn 18 and their paths start to diverge, they realise how much they need each other. I love the idea of this story. Whether in book or movie form, the idea of childhood best friends realising that they were always meant for each other is something that I'm really into. The book version of this story is written entirely of notes, emails, letters, instant messages and any other type of written media, and I loved this. Not only did it make the book really quick to read, but it's almost like you're invading someone's most private th
