Films '13: Movie Weekend




I can't remember what weekend I saw these, must have been when I was being lazy and watched TV all day. I've been meaning to watch these films, and finally got a weekend all to myself to do just that.

Let's start off with Constantine, I like it. Although I though it lacked in some of the cinematography, I wish it would have been a bit darker. The whole story I loved, and I would like to see more. Definitely watch it again. 3.5/5 

Lockout, let's be honest, the only reason I wanted to watch this was because of Joseph Gilgun. Some of the special effects were lacking, it was an okay movie, better than what I thought it would be. They should have picked a different guy to play Snow. I swear I thought at any moment Liam Neeson was going to show up and save Maggie Grace. 2.5/5

Silver Linings Year Book though, it's a must watch. I might be bias, but Jennifer is just so lovely. Watch it, watch it right now. 5/5

Films '13: This Is 40



I went to see this movie on Monday. It was ok, it had its funny moments. But if I were you, I'd just wait until it came on DVD.

3/5

Films '13: Seeking a Friend for the End of the World



I've loved Keira since PotC, and my goodness you just need to see her in The Jacket. Actually you need to do yourself a favor and go watch The Jacket right now, Adam Brody is in it, and it's just really good.

I also love my girl in Pride and Prejudice. So when I heard she was in this movie, I was ready to watch it. But then I saw the trailer and I didn't like what I saw, I decided to wait until it was on DVD. I'm glad I did, because this movie was disappointing, it was missing something, I just can't put my finger on it.

Some of the parts were just not that interesting, that I found myself paying attention to other things other than the movie itself. Kiera is such a great actress, she can bring so depth to her characters, I felt like she didn't have that open range to bring that out with her character Penny, i did catch a fleeting glimpse. Also, I don't really care much for Steve Carell or his character.

TL;DR Movie was ok, but it could have been better.

2.5/5

Films '13: The Perks of Being a Wallflower


I like watching movies, a lot. But sometimes I forget which ones I've seen. I'm hoping that through the course of this year, I'll remember to write them down, and maybe that way I can get an idea of what I've watched this year. I will be tagging it Films '13.

I woke up this morning around nine, I heated up some brownies, and proceeded to watch this film while I ate candy, because obviously I'm a mature adult.

I was immediately drawn into the movie, Patrick was my favorite, and I just felt bad for him loving someone that had to keep what they had a secret. Emma's accent made me want to laugh, it was just adorable, it was nice seeing her in something outside of the HP movies. I loved the music. It was a good indie movie, or at least that's what it felt like. I would recommend you watch it, if you're into that kind of stuff.

4/5 stars

I've hardly been here

I feel like such crap because I can't stick with things. Take this blog for example, I had so many things planned out for it but I guess it just didn't work out.

Things that have happened to me this year.


  • I got a new job.
  • I moved into an apartment by myself, so no more roommates.
  • I met a lot of great people.
  • I've gotten closer to my family, especially my nephew, who I adore.
  • New fandoms.
So all in all, 2012 was good to me.

Born To Die


I finally got a chance to listen to Lana Del Rey's Born to Die album. All I have to say is just what took me so long? I know a lot of people say that they don't like her because she's fake, those people are idiots, do they honestly think that what they hear on the radio wasn't just some ploy to hook them in. You need to do yourself a favor and listen to her album, be your own judge. There wasn't a single song a I didn't enjoy listening to, I love her style. I made a list of what songs I love to the ones that I liked, but this is just personal preference. 

  • Without You
  • Blue Jeans
  • Born to Die
  • Radio
  • Summertime Sadness
  • Dark Paradise
  • Off to the Races
  • Video Games
  • Diet Mountain Dew
  • Lolita
  • Lucky Ones
  • Million Dollar Man
  • Carmen
  • This Is What Makes Us Girls
  • National Anthem
