Nine Months and The Music Tag!

-
 
(Yes, I did just use the fact that I've been blogging for nine months to plug one of my favourite films ever - let it go)
 
Hey Guys!
 
On Monday, my blog hit nine months old! I completely forgot about it and only remembered on Wednesday, when I did my monthly favourites post.
 
Nine months is a hell of a long time! I mean, that's how long it takes to make a human!
 
Honestly though, thank you so much to everyone who has been reading my posts, commenting on them and, just chatting with me about them. It means more than you know and has helped me to keep thinking of different post ideas every time I post.
 
I've achieved a lot with this blog over the last 9 months and I couldn't be happier with it now. Not only the design of it, but the quality of my posts and my ideas.
 
I made a decision as the new year came in that I would make my posts a lot more personal, so that I could be a lot more passionate about them. On the one hand, this was really scary, especially at the beginning of the month. But all of the nice comments and messages that I have got about my posts so far this month have really made it worth it! I love doing somewhat personal posts and will definitely keep doing them for as long as I'm passionate about something - anything!
 
So, to celebrate nine months, I'm going to do "The Music Tag!". I tag everyone reading to give it a go, because I love these questions!
 
The Music Tag!
 
Favourite band/musician of the moment?
Ed Sheeran. I say this too much but his album X is the best thing in my life right now!
 
Band/musician you always come back to?
The Wanted. I always go back to their first two albums because they just hold so many amazing memories for me and make me feel really happy (and also sad that they broke up!)
 
Favourite song of all time?
I have no idea! Literally. My favourite song changes daily, and all time is a BIG thing! Maybe 'Bubble Wrap' by McFly?
 
Most embarrassing song in your iTunes/music library?
'The Climb', and I know what you're thinking: "Miley Cyrus isn't embarrassing". Well, I don't mean the Miley Cyrus version, I'm talking about the Joe McEldery version. Remember him? The guy that won X Factor UK back in 2009. Yep, him!
 
Favourite CD/Album?
I'm actually not going to say Ed Sheeran (for once!). I'm going to say D.E.M.I by Demi lovato, because it's also an amazing album and I really love her!
 
Favourite album art?
 
Because they look amazing, like superheroes. Enough said!
 
Favourite movie soundtrack?
Grease! Or Hairspray! I'm going to go with Grease, because who doesn't love Grease? (Unless you haven't seen it, in which case, you really need to!)
 
First concert you ever attended?
JLS. I loved them immensely!
 
Has your music taste changed over time?
Literally not. I still love songs now that I loved when I was 13. And I have always and will always be in love with boybands!
 
Thank you for reading, and thank you so much for sticking with me for the past 9 months! I hope the next 9 are as good as these have been!

Road House (2024) | Film Review

-
Image
When ex-UFC fighter Dalton (Jake Gyllenhaal) takes a job as a bouncer at a roadhouse, he soon finds that his past is quickly catching up to him. I've never seen the original Road House, and when I put this one on I wasn't really planning to review it, but I found myself really getting into it. I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Both the characters and the story were a lot more engaging and compelling than I thought they would be. The story sucked me in right from the beginning and I was interested the whole way through. The cast is great, but Jake Gyllenhaal completely carries the film and plays the character of Dalton really well. Again, I can't compare his performance to the original, but I really like the character. The fight scenes, which are pretty much what the film is about, are done really well. They're entertaining, but they also do a good job of moving the story forward. I think the reason I liked the film so much was because I didn't take it

Wonka | Film Review

Young Willy Wonka (Timothée Chalamet) tries to follow his dreams to become a respected chocolatier, despite opposition at every turn . This film was never particularly high on my 'to-watch' list, but it was always on my radar, so I'm glad I've finally seen it. I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would, but I still definitely had problems with it! For a start, while I love the fact that it was a musical, I didn't actually like any of the actual songs. None of them really stood out (except the one that's already known) and having only seen the film yesterday, I can't remember any of them. In fact, while the songs didn't hurt the film, I also don't feel like they were completely necessary. I would have liked the film the same amount if it hadn't been a musical. Wonka is a really charming character, and Chalamet plays him really well. In fact, the entire cast is great - definitely the best thing about the film by a mile. The relationship b

Scarface (1983) | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up for the Bucket List was another first-time watch! I'd seen the original 1932 film years ago and really liked it, but I never got around to watching this (undoubtedly more popular) version, so I'm glad it was on the list. I really really liked this movie. I'm not sure if I like it more than, or the same as the original, but I definitely had a great time with it. One thing about finally seeing all these classic movies is seeing how much impact they've had on pop culture, and this film is definitely no exception. It's so quotable, there are so many iconic images, and it's one that everyone should watch if they haven't seen it before. The most talked-about aspect of this film is probably the violence, and that's so interesting to see. Not only the way it's spoken about, but also the difference between violence in older films like this and newer releases. I personally thought the violence was done well, and while probably not all of it was strictl

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

American Psycho | 100 Movies Bucket List

This one was a re-watch. I'd seen this film once before watching it for the Bucket List. My memories of it weren't wholly positive - I didn't love the first watch, and while I didn't hate it, it wasn't a film that I was itching to watch again. Though saying that, I knew that I probably would watch it again eventually, because I knew how much of a classic it was. Like a lot of films I've watched for the Bucket List, I liked it more this time around than I did the first time, though I still didn't love it as much as I wanted to. But that being said, I did really enjoy it. The writing was great and Christian Bale was amazing in the role, as were the supporting actors. For me, though, the most iconic thing about this movie is its soundtrack. The songs used are amazing and fit the movie so well. They're used in such a unique, original way, that it feels like this alone makes the movie a classic. The film is really well made, and even though I don't love i
