Through the Looking Glass Review

Image
Seeing as it’s been over two months since my last post, I feel obliged to write this review today. After copious amounts of coffee and twenty scribbled pages of notes – all of which are now scrunched into the bin – I finally feel ready to begin to write. So, here it is, at long last a review of the rather poor Alice in Wonderland sequel, Through the Looking Glass. Now, it wasn't until doing some research on this film that I noticed Tim Burton was not the director. To be honest, when I was watching it, I felt as though this was a cheap knock-off of one of his films, so am glad to know that he hasn't sold out. I wasn't a huge fan of the monstrosity of the first film, but at least it was visually pleasing – unlike this one! On top of this, I absolutely hated the Vegetable people. They were stupid and immature, and I am pretty sure they are only featured to get an easy laugh from the kids in the audience. I know that I am n...

The Suicide Room Review

A brutal, Polish story that depicts the darkest and loneliest roots of modern adolescents – The Suicide Room, directed by Jan Komasa, is nothing quite like I’ve seen before.  At first, I was confused and sceptical of this sub-titled film, but now I’m sat here thinking about it an hour or so later, its haunting tale and beautifully painful visuals have truly gotten to me. The plot revolves around Dominik, a high school student who is the only son of wealthy parents, both of whom seem to be having affairs. Dominik portrays a sense of secret homosexuality, which becomes clear when he makes out with his male friend, Aleksander, at a party. Like many things nowadays, this kiss is quick to explode on social media, and although Dominik enjoys the controversial attention and tension at first, he soon becomes the school laughing stock, thus forcing him into isolation. This isolation is then what leads to Dominik’s discovery of an online chat room – The Suicide Room. I must admit, I d...

YouTube

Hey Guys, I thought I would do a quick little post before I went away to Brighton for a few days, so here goes. For those of you who have seen my 2016 Goals post (which I would link here, but I really can't be arsed), then you will know that one of the things on that list is to start to properly make YouTube videos. However terrifying this may now be, I feel like I should allow you blogging buddies to see some of those videos...and I can only apologies for the content and my crappy face... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKH30oYcTBY Again, I'm sorry :')

Current Life State

Wow! Once again, I’m awake at midnight and get a sudden stroke of guilt in regard to not posting on here again. If I’m being completely honest though…I’m struggling. My life has flipped upside down, and everything just seems a bit too much. Normally, I would avoid writing things like this, but fuck it! I’m human, you’re human, and if you too are going through a rough patch in life, you’re not alone. It tough to remember that everyone struggles, but I felt as though I should explain myself a bit with a short post. If I’m honest, I don’t want to go into too much detail just yet, I’m not brave enough, but hopefully, I’ll be back to my normal self soon. Thanks for sticking with me, it means the world!

Oopsy Daisy...

Again, I find myself remembering this blog at 02:15am, and instantly feel as though I need to do a little update. To be honest, the main reason I haven't blogged much is because I have been reading and writing like a maniac. A bad excuse, I know, but I feel that my fellow book worms will understand! Linking on to that idea, I HAVE A GOODREADS ACCOUNT! I update it regularly, and am constantly looking for new books to read. If you have an account, feel free follow me and I'll follow back (provided you have a good taste in book!) https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/46209605-heather-eggelton

How Many Goals Have I Broken?!
