Photo from International Movie Database Film: Pride and Prejudice   Directors: Joe Wright  Length: 2h 7m Genre: Romance/Comedy Rating: Parental Guidance Released: Nov. 11, 2005      Hey Friends!       This week I will be writing about one of my favorite films, Pride and Prejudice. I first watched this film maybe eight years ago and it quickly became one of my favorites. I will also note that Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book of all time, not just my favorite classic novel.       This is a film where you kind of know what’s going to happen before it happens. Yet, that doesn’t make the story less enjoyable. It’s a story that can never get old no matter if it’s the film or the book. This was a film that I thought had a good film adaptation. What I will say is the famous line “You have bewitched me body and soul,” is not in my edition of the book. I can’t find it. I’ve Googled the page number, the chapt...

Today we are discussing Iron Man, Iron Man 2 and Iron Man 3. We won’t be discussing them in separate sections, but I will talk about what I have noticed over the span of the three films collectively. So, recently my partner and I have taken on the task of watching all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films because I haven’t seen many of them. We will be watching these in chronological order; in order of when they happened in the universe, not in order of which they were released. We just finished the eighth film so remember my judgment is passed only after watching maybe 12 films. However, this means we have watched all of the Iron Man films. For some reason, Iron Man has been on my mind for about a week.       Fun fact, when I was a kid, Iron Man was my favorite even though I had not seen the fi...

Photo from Internet Movie Poster Awards Film: Don’t Move Directors: Adam Schindler and Brian Netto  Length: 1h 32m Genre: Horror/Thriller Rating: Restricted Released: Oct. 25, 2024 Hey Hey Hey!        This week I watched a film called Don’t Move. I had heard of this film through TikTok when I saw some clips of the film. Fortunately, the clips didn’t spoil anything. All I knew was that it is a mystery/thriller movie starring Finn Wittrock and Kelsey Asbille. I have previously watched American Horror Story where Wittrock is featured, so I was already fond of him. I have seen a couple scenes and commercials for the show Yellowstone, which features Kelsey Asbille. I can’t say I am a fan of hers, but I do like her acting.       To be honest, when I  searched the film on Google and read the overview; I realized it is exactly as it reads. I won’t say it was a bad movie, but I will say it was a little bit predictable with an almost common storyl...

Photo from Internet Movie Poster Awards      Film: We Live In Time Director: John Crowley Length: 1h 44m Genre: Romance/Comedy Rating: Restricted Released: Oct. 18, 2024      I have returned!         So, as mentioned in the title, this was one of my most anticipated films of the year. While it was a good film, it wasn’t as good as I wanted it to be but I'll say that after watching it a second time I think I like it better than I originally did. I like how it’s tastefully funny and not cheesy even though it is a comedy. I believe my expectations were so high because of the cast, but also because the film was produced by A24, which has quickly become my favorite production company.  Usually, the films I watch produced by A24 are eerie and unnerving because that (among other things) is what the company is good at. I think that since this was a romantic comedy and I'm not used to seeing A24’s take on that ge...

Photo from Internet Movie Poster Awards Film: It Ends With Us  Director: Justin Baldoni Length: 2h 11min Genre: Romance/Drama Rating: PG-13 Released: Aug. 9, 2024      Happy Thursday!     I know usually I write about a film in theaters and a film on a streaming platform, however plans change and things happen. I didn’t feel like I was ready to write about the film I was planning for today’s post, so that will be postponed until this upcoming Tuesday. For today, I want to talk about It Ends With Us. I do know this film was just in select theaters again for a limited time if you’re interested in seeing it. If I am being honest, after seeing it when it came out and sitting on my thoughts for a while, I’ve decided that I didn’t really like the film. For the sake of this blog, I think it’s good that I didn’t really like it so I don’t just write about what I do like. Two things you should know about me is I am a big romance reader, so of course I read the bo...
