Perks of being a wall flower review!

Hey guys,

  The films sort of old now, so a review of it may seem a bit out of the loop, but in all fairness I didn't see it until yesterday when (as Katie and bryony proudly put it) I lost my perks virginity. 

   

 I must admit, when Katie mentioned it, I was a little skeptical- her taste in story lines isn't so great, I mean she like tfios;)- but I was more then pleantly surprised.

  Not only does it have a pretty cool soundtrack (it has David Bowie on it!) but the story line is heart wrenching and done to some amazing acting, a real credit to the actors. And the ending very nearly had me in tears (nearly Katie! You didn't quite win that one). It's tied together beautifully by the relatable characters and as an audience, it is very easy to fall in love with them and their problems. 

  To anyone who hasn't actually seen the film yet, on the off chance, go watch it! You won't regret it.

Can straight, opposite genders be just friends?

Hey guys, 

Apologies for the lack of posts recently, it's been crazy busy, but I'm back! 

  So on Friday myself and a friend went to see The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and it was far better then any other Spider-Man film I've seen, period (I'll be writing a review of it soon so look out for it). But since going to see the film, it's raised the age old question: can boys and girls (who are 'straight') be just friends? Again. 

  Yes, the person I was at the cinema with on Friday was male. Yes, he is in a relationship with a girl I know, and have come to know quite well lately. No that doesn't make us hanging out together sinister! 

  Honestly, this whole argument really, really bugs me. Seriously? Because we're both heterosexual and spend time together of course, we obviously have something going on. Obviously. 

   I mean, why is it I can spend time with a female friend in public and it be ok? How would you know I'm not secretly in love with her? Come on guys, this is supposed to be an 'accepting' generation and yet we cause speculation over a movie with the opposite sex. 

  So what do you think? Can close friends be opposite genders?

Summer and Saturdays! Captain America and the winter solider

Hello again! 

Ok so today was absolutely gorgeous weather wise, even to the extent that I dug out my comic book dress. Definitely a good day. 

   So what did I do on such a gorgeous, sunny day? I spent mine in a cinema, in the dark. And it was amazing.

   I went to see Captain America: the winter soldier with a group of friends and I have to say it was beyond what I have ever imagined. Being a HUGE marvel and comic book fan, I'm quite juvious when production companies release a film based on a comic book character because to me, it could literally ruin an entire series for me. 

   But with the Captain America movies (so far) I've been quite impressed. They are one of the few movies that stay true to the original character portrayal without mocking or making it uber cheesie, and the Winter Solider is no exception. The cation is fast paced and high intensity. The lines sharp, witty and clever written and the special effects superb. Possibly my favourite Superhero movie ever. Definitely worth a see. 

Well that's it for today lovelies, I'd love to know your opinion if you've seen it yet.
