Stay Gold

A phrase taken from S E Hinton’s book and film The Outsiders, one of my most favorite books ever, it inspired me to attempt to write my first book as well.

The perfect pair!!!

I am SO excited for this movie. Dark Shadows.
I know many are bored of the whole Tim n Johnny thing but not me!!!!
Where I work did a lot of the costumes for this so I have been waiting with baited breath for what seems like years – the trailers are out and I still have over a week to wait!

Come on already!!!!!!

Stuart, a life backwards

If you can watch this clip then please do.
Especially the scene with the bacon sandwich from 4 mins 12 seconds.
It made me cry laughing

This film made me cry with laughter and with sadness.

It’s a true story about this guy.
It’s decided that the story should go backwards – to explain why Stuart is like he is.

The opening scenes are that of a drugged up voice Stuart (played amazingly well by Tom Hardy). You hear the voice and something in you thinks drugged up, drunk lay about. Benedict Cumberbatch plays the Social worker that decides he wants to write a book about Stuart, his client quickly becomes his friend.

As the story unfolds it grips you, it will break your heart, but you will have this overwhelming sense of how wrong we are to judge.
How terrible it is that thanks to some sick people, Stuarts life was ruined.

You see through the drink and the drugs, you start to understand why they are there, and instead you focus on the funny and intelligent person Stuart is.

Definitely read the book – if the film was this good the book is going ot be amazing.

And definitely watch the film – the acting is amazing – but be prepared – it will grip you and it will break your heart.

E.T

I have watched this film one billion and one times.
You think I am joking?
When I was younger I had a lot to do with my younger brothers upbringing – in the summer holidays he would make me watch this film. Every day. Sometimes twice a day.
Weirdly enough I can still watch it.
And I still love it.

One of the best movies ever!

One for the girls?

Or is it?
The Notebook – a book and a movie that both get the thumbs up from me but throughout it’s filled with lovely little gems!
