Not being a fan of Brad Pitt or Gwenyth Paltrow, and only ever seeing one movie of Morgan Freeman’s; ‘Bruce Almighty’ (that voice though), I was pretty put off seeing this film. What changed my mind about giving this a go was that I found out there was a few major cliff-hangers that my aunty… Continue reading The ‘Se7en’ (1995) Deadly Sins

‘Sunset Boulevard’ (1950)
Since I saw ‘The Two Ronnies’ parody of this classic I wanted to try it, so I finally did when I was with my boyfriend. This movie reminds me of another film I recently reviewed called ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?’ and I have to say, while this is a classic, I do slightly prefer… Continue reading ‘Sunset Boulevard’ (1950)
Say Hello to my little friend, ‘Scarface’ (1983)
I have been meaning to watch this movie for what appears to be decades, but I finally got around to it pretty recently when staying with my boyfriend. In the last year and a half I’ve realised that I love mafia movies. I love ‘The Godfather’ and ‘Goodfellas’ is one of my favourite movies, so… Continue reading Say Hello to my little friend, ‘Scarface’ (1983)
Why is ‘Fargo’ (1996) a classic?
This might be a pretty controversial post but I do want to ask why this movie is so loved. I’m genuinely curious to see why so many put this into the top 100 movies lists as I just didn’t get it, and neither did my boyfriend. SPOILERS AHEAD The movie stars William H. Macy as… Continue reading Why is ‘Fargo’ (1996) a classic?
Choose Your Film, Choose ‘Trainspotting’ (1996)
As someone who has always been fiercely anti-drugs, I was always skeptical about watching a film all about heroin. That was, until, about three years ago when my psychology teacher pointed out the movie and said how it showed the harsh realities of drugs. Ever since that point I was curious as to how it… Continue reading Choose Your Film, Choose ‘Trainspotting’ (1996)

My problem with ‘Calamity Jane’ (1953)
A very quick blog post today as I am feeling under the weather, but I did want to very quickly discuss a major pitfall to one of my favourite movies ever; 'Calamity Jane'. My boyfriend wanted to try this the other day so, of course, I obliged. I have loved this Doris Day classic since… Continue reading My problem with ‘Calamity Jane’ (1953)
‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?’ (1960)
My next review is of a movie I recently watched for the first time; ‘Whatever Happened of Baby Jane’ (1962). This was a film I had never heard of until perhaps two years back when I decided on attempting to watch as many classics as possible. I had never seen a movie with Bette Davis… Continue reading ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?’ (1960)
