Bria Lou Reviews

  I hadn't seen this film in years before seeing it on the bucket list, so I was interested to see it again after a long time. I used to be a really big Harry Potter fan, and while my love for it started to wane before the 6th movie came out, I've seen the first 5 probably at least 50 times each. Watching it again after so long made things fun but also familiar enough that I could slot right back into it. This film is iconic. That's it - iconic. All of the movies are great, but there's something about an origin that just holds a certain amount of magic, and this is no exception.  The cast is fantastic! The child actors are all most famous for being in these movies, and it's so fun to go back and see them when they were young - they're babies! And they do such an amazing job playing these parts that it's a shame more of them didn't go on to have robust careers. But the ones that did, you can see exactly why. But that's not to say the adult actors aren...

Hey Guys x I haven't done a lot of posts this month, but one thing that I definitely could not miss was my October Favourites, especially as I have so many amazing things to share with you guys this month! I hope some of my favourites can become your favourites too! Favourite Movie: The Visit This movie... omg. If you're not one for jump scares, avoid this! But if you're a fan of horror, or anything a bit scary, watch this because it's one of the best horror movies that I've seen. I got it on a whim after hearing about it from a friend, and I am so glad that she told me about it because me, my sister, and my mum all loved it. Even my dad, who hates horror movies, enjoyed it, so give it a chance! Favourite TV Show: Impractical Jokers This show is amazing. Completely amazing and without a doubt the funniest thing on TV right now! It's about four high-school friends who basically embarrass each other by setting them different tasks involving the gener...

This blog idea is completely inspired by Carrie Hope Fletcher. She did her bookshelf tour in a video here and I loved it, so I thought I'd do my own version of it. This is just part one and trust me, they'll be a lot of parts! Today's post is the first of 5 columns of one bookshelf. I have 3 bookshelves in my house to get through, which could take a while! I'll also just be giving you a slight background of each book, either a mini  review of an overview of where/how I got it. I've also reviewed a lot of the books, so I'll leave the link to my review within my overview. What Carrie also did, which I liked, was that she kept a record of the books that she had and hadn't read, so I think I'll do the same. That way I can keep a track of the books that I'm going to read in the future, as well as the ones that I'm going to be reviewing! Enjoy looking through the first part of my bookshelf (I use the term 'shelf' very loosely!) ...

A review on a Tuesday is very unusual for me, but as tomorrow is the 28th May, it will be time to post my 'May Favourites', so I'm doing my review earlier. I am one of those people that watched the film before they saw the book. I was about 11 when I saw Harry Potter for the first time, and from the first film I was completely hooked! After seeing the film, my first thought was: 'I have to read this book!'. The book is about an orphaned boy who is sent to live with his aunt and uncle. He had been living with them for 10 years, but he never thought that he fitted in, especially because of the fact that the Dursley's and their son Dudley treated Harry as if he was a problem that they could ignore. That is, until he begun getting letters. One by one, letters addressed to Harry came through the door. Harry was never allowed to read one and he never knew what they were about. The Dursley's wanted to keep him as far away as possible from the letters, until t...
