So many books, so little time.
I’m going to be honest with you – I had no idea what this movie was about before seeing it. I probably saw a trailer or two, read Hugh Jackman’s tweets and Facebook posts about it, but that was just about it. I went into the cinema with very few expectations – though they were Continue Reading
I’ll be honest with you – I was not looking forward to this movie at all. The previous two Wolverine movies were such let-downs, and I was even less excited when I found out this would be Hugh’s last performance as the character. I really just wanted this movie to be good because I wanted Continue Reading
First of all, I want to say that I haven’t played any of the Assassin’s Creed games, so I will not be comparing the two. (And even if I had played the games, I wouldn’t be doing it, because honestly, I think it’s like comparing a book to its movie adaptation because they will never be exactly the same). I first Continue Reading
Three years ago, I read a book called Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and while I loved it, I didn’t find it as scary as I hoped it would be. Still, the story and the pictures were great, and so I picked up book two and book three. Then, I heard there was going to be Continue Reading
On the 18th of May (my birthday, yay) I went to an X-Men marathon (First Class, Days of Future Past and then Apocalypse). I’d been excited about this new movie for a while now, especially after my friend (who had seen it already) had told me some things about the movie. Apocalypse takes place ten years after the Continue Reading
When I first heard they were finally going to make a Deadpool movie, I got so so excited! I had really liked Wade in the X-Men Origins movie, and got really sad when I found out his fate at the end. This movie is completely about Wade Winston Wilson (played by Ryan Rodney Reynolds, like it was Continue Reading
A couple of months ago, I started hearing a lot about a book called The Martian. The concept of the story sounded pretty interesting, but I never decided to pick it up mainly because it wasn’t young adult. Then, I heard they were going to make it into a movie, and I decided I was going Continue Reading
Back in 2014, I read a book called Paper Towns. I’d picked it up because it was a John Green book, and I had really enjoyed both The Fault in Our Stars and Will Grayson, Will Grayson. I had hoped for PT to be as good as TFIOS was, but to be honest – I Continue Reading
Last year I saw the movie The Maze Runner, and really enjoyed it. I hadn’t reread the book that thoroughly beforehand, so I didn’t know whether it was ‘true to the book’ or not. But I guess at that time I started to realise that it didn’t matter. Last week I saw The Scorch Trials, the sequel Continue Reading
Fantastic Four is about a group of people – Reed Richards (Miles Teller), Sue and Johnny Storm (Kate Mara, Michael B Jordan), Ben Grimm (Jamie Bell), and Victor von Doom (Toby Kebbell) – who get special powers after a trip to another dimension goes wrong. That’s the story in this movie. The previous movie had them Continue Reading
