REVIEW: Gone Girl

Source

I really enjoyed this film, I read the book and loved it - you can read my review on the book HERE - it was the first time in a while I'd read a book to a film before I'd watched it!

There are a few differences between the book and the film which is inevitable, there was a lot more blood than I anticipated especially towards the end of the film and the film itself it quite visually dark reflecting the dark characters and story line. 

Another thing I loved about the film was the music and underscores especially in eerie and tense moments it aided the scenes very well and added a lot of tension to the already tense moments!

As some of you may know I LOVE CATS (as stated here, here and here!) and there's a gorgeous ginger one in this film which you get to see lots in the film so I was more than delighted!

REVIEW: The Theory of Everything

I LOVED THIS FILM!

It is about the life of Stephen Hawkins - predominantly the marriage to his first wife - it is both entertaining and touching and brought tears to my eyes in many parts of the film. The cast is exquisite with Eddie Redmayne (who is stepping more into the limelight and playing a number of parts to perfection), Felicity Jones Maxine Peake and Emily Watson too. 

I love the amateur/vintage type shots (watch the film and you'll know what I mean!) as they give a nice realistic insight into Stephen Hawking's private life. The film is also very cinematic and colourful which I really like, it's a nice film to watch even if you don't understand all the scientific language spilling from the mouths of the characters!

It has so far been nominated for four Golden Globes and there is Oscar buzz surrounding the film too, one for Eddie Redmayne me thinks!

I would strongly recommend this film for anyone who loves a romantic, biopic or entertaining film!

BLOGMAS: DAY 24 - Christmas Eve

Here's another lifestyle post for you chums from when my boyfriend and I went to Bristol we did lots of things like ice-skating, eating in Za Za Bazaar (an all you can eat restaurant with food from many different countries and cultures), shopping in Cabot Circus and Cribbs Causeway, making my first build-a-bear bear, eating a krispy kreme, taking timelapses from Clifton Bridge and many other exciting things. I hope you enjoy the photos!
