November Post Round-Up | 2021

-

 

I can't believe that this is my penultimate Round-Up post. 2021 has gone so quickly! But before we get to December, here are my November posts! 

Book Review #95: Fifty Fifty by Steve Cavanagh - This was a book that I absolutely loved, and I can't wait to read more of Steve Cavanagh's novels.

Candyman (2021) | Film Review - I had looked forward to this film, but it ended up being really disappointing.

After We Fell | Film Review - The third 'After' movie wasn't great, but surprisingly it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be.

Dear Evan Hansen | Film Review - I was looking forward to this film so much and I absolutely loved it. I've seen it twice now and it was even better the second time.

September Post Round-Up | 2021 - A round-up of my September posts.

Where Rainbows End vs. Love, Rosie | Film and Book Review - I did a comparison of 'When Rainbows End' by Cecelia Ahern, and its film interpretation 'Love, Rosie'. Overall I enjoyed the book more than the film.

Untitled Horror Movie | Film Review - I enjoyed this film and was entertained throughout, even if it was as stupid as it was fun.

October Post Round-Up | 2021 - A round-up of my October posts.

Hypnotic | Film Review - This is a Netflix movie that I enjoyed more than I thought I would.

Passing | Film Review - This is another Netflix movie, and I really really liked it. It's probably the film on this list that I'd most recommend.

Red Notice | Film Review - Another Netflix movie. It wasn't the most disappointing on this list, but that says more about my film choices and less about this film.

November Post Round-Up - Paradoxically, the post you're reading right now.

Blogmas 2021! - This hasn't been uploaded yet, but it will be my last post of November.

And those are my November posts. Check out any that you missed!

100 Movies Bucket List 2024 | Reflections

                                                  Wow. I can't believe I actually did it - and a lot sooner than I thought I would! I finished watching all the movies in October and as great as finishing it felt, not having a set list of films to watch every day has kind of thrown me. It's been nice to be able to watch films just because I love them, but I have really missed watching all these new ones. Completing this list has made this year a really great one for film. I've seen so many amazing films. From the great first-time watches that I'd always been meaning to see (like 'The Shawshank Redemption' and 'The Dark Knight'), the great first-time watches I'd never heard of before (like 'Oldboy' and 'Léon: The Professional', the re-watches that I loved more this time around (like 'The Prestige' and 'Up') and some familiar all-time favourites (like 'Back to the Fu...

Meet Me Next Christmas | Blogmas Day 1

Image
It's Blogmas Day 1! Happy December! In order to reunite with the man who may be the love of her life, Layla (Christina Milian) must find a ticket to the sold-out Pentatonix Christmas concert. Netflix has a few interesting movies coming out over the Christmas period. This one was the first to come out, so it made sense that it should be the first pick of Blogmas. The main character, Layla, is a fun character to follow from the very beginning. We're invested in her life and we're rooting for her to find the love she wants. The premise itself is sweet. Generic enough to feel familiar but original enough to still be an intriguing watch. Making it the perfect way to start Blogmas. I wasn't familiar with Pentatonix or their music, so this film was a great introduction to them, and the way they were incorporated into the film was really fun.  Because of the group, the music throughout the film was great! I don't think there's a Blogmas movie that will beat this, music-...

Blogmas 2024!

I feel like I get more and more excited for Christmas and Blogmas every year! In terms of Blogmas, I definitely feel like I've found a tried and tested method that works for me, so as usual I'll be reviewing Christmas movies for the 24 days leading up to Christmas, starting from the first of December. Which means that Blogmas officially begins in 3 days! It's always really fun to pick the movies I'll be watching. I'm not as far ahead at this point in the year as I usually am (I'm currently watching day 7 as I write this), so I hope some of my picks end up being great! As always I'll be ignoring my usual ratings in favour of my Christmas rating system: Title  (How original? How creative? How fun?) Originality  (self-explanatory) Christmas Spirit  (Is Christmas integral to the plot, or could the film's events have happened at any time of year?) Christmas Music  (again, self-explanatory) And that's everything! I'm really excited to get started. My n...

Destined at Christmas | Blogmas Day 3

Image
It's Blogmas Day 3! When Kim (Shae Robins) and Theo (Casey Elliott) meet while Christmas shopping, sparks fly. But when a power cut separates them, neither can forget their connection. This was a spur-of-the-moment random pick. I had a film picked for day 3 but just couldn't get into it at all when I started watching it, so I went for this one instead. And to be honest, neither were particularly great picks. But this one had potential. From the beginning the characters had really great chemistry. It was fun to watch them and I wanted to see a lot more of them. Because the issue with films like this, where the main couple are separated, is that they spend a lot of time away from each other and aren't able to build a connection. In a rom-com, this isn't really fun to watch. We want to believe the couple are meant-to-be because we can see it, not because we're repeatedly told. In addition to that, the two main characters, while fun together, weren't strong enough i...

Christmas Lucky Charm | Blogmas Day 2

  It's Blogmas Day 2! Jessica (Sugenja Sri) is a lucky charm - everyone she dates finds the love of their life immediately after dating her. But when she decides to swear off love for good, a gallery owner (Adrian Spencer) moves in across the street and she starts to feel like her luck is changing... I really liked the premise of this one. It seemed sweet, but also like it could have more substance than the average Christmas romance. I loved the main character, Jessica, from the second the film started. She was so much fun and honestly could have carried the film on her own. The main couple are really sweet and it's lovely watching them together and seeing them get to know each other. They also had great chemistry, which for some reason is rare so far in the 8 Blogmas movies I've watched this year. Though I will say that because the poster of the film is completely misleading, it actually made me like and root for the couple more because I assumed we would end up being caug...
