Unfortunately I was not able to watch the Oscars live, this has never stopped me from watching them however.
Monday night rolled around and me and my warm cup of coffee were all set, then something out of the norm happened ... I actually enjoyed watching the Oscars again. Hurrah!! Faith restored.
Read MoreI am finally a fan of Woody Allen and all it took was for me to watch a 1977 movie instead of his recent stuff instead, go figure!
Going back to the Empire top 500 movies of all time, I decided to watch Annie Hall and it was one of the best movie selections I have ever made. I was recently in Malta for a four-day holiday and was browsing the web for some in flight entertainment for my trip back to Dublin. After some time deliberating with my boyfriend Conor, we decided to watch Annie Hall.
Read MoreThanks to Conor, I recently watched most of Will Ferrell's movies, you can say I had me a Will Ferrell Marathon!
From all the movies I watched starring Will Ferrell, my two favourites are Anchorman and Old School!
Read MoreA clockwork orange was one of the movies on that list of mine that I had not yet watched. I was lucky enough to watch this recently and in Blu Ray too! This movie was pure genius, a movie way ahead of it's time and so unique too. I can honestly say I have never seen a movie like this one nor do I think I ever will! After seeing Full Metal Jacket (also directed by Kubrick) I wanted to see this movie even more since I had loved it so much! That too was yet another amazing one of a kind movie!
Read MoreFor my birthday me and my friends watched yet another movie from Empires top 500, this time it was Shaun of the Dead.
I always put off watching this movie as I was worried it would scare the hell out of me! Thankfully this movie is a comedy and there were only a couple of scenes which I found hard to take. The more movies I see Simon Pegg in the more I love the guy.
Read MoreI've been a busy girl lately with my movie list seeing as I have now moved to a top 500 movie list from 250! Because of this, I have also fallen behind with my movie blogging which is why I decided to write about these three comedies together. I will start by saying that from these three movies, Superbad is by far the best one and I'll tell you why.
Read MoreRecently my friend Kev convinced me to watch the latest Star Trek movie since this was on that never-ending list I set out to finish!! Funny thing is however, the IMDB list was constantly changing so I decided to use a different bigger list ... the Empire top 500 list! I am the first to always admit, that Sci-fi movies are not my thing, this time however I was pleasantly surprised and most of that was down to Simon Pegg. The more of his stuff I watch the bigger the fan I become.
Read MoreAfter seeing Get Him to the Creek, I had high high hopes for Director Nicholas Stoller and boy was I disappointed. Me and my friend Stephen had seen the trailer for this new movie for weeks on end and we were both eager to watch this the moment it came out. Well today was the day we finally decided to watch this and now that I have I can safely say that we should have picked something else.
Read MoreI am quite proud at how brave I was recently, I, THE biggest scardey cat watched Alien and Aliens in the same night! I know, even I can't believe it yet. Did I enjoy it? Well that is something different entirely. I will say this, it was a unique experience that's for sure. I feel a lot braver to watch a scary movie next time though as I did make it through those two movies in one piece, well sort of!
Read MoreThis week I continued my mission to pile through those top 250 movies by watching Trainspotting and Reservoir Dogs. For some reason, I never quite got round to watching trainspotting even though I was meant to. All I can say is that I should have watched it earlier!
Read MoreThis week I continued my quest to finish the top 250 IMDB movies and decided I was in the mood for war themed movies. I decided to watch Platoon and Full Metal Jacket.
Read MoreI decided to watch two movies from the IMDB 250 list, one was amazing whilst the other was a real doozy! Can you guess which one?
Read MoreSo Lately, I have been on a movie kick and trying to pick random movies to watch based on movie posters and covers. This week I took it a little further and decided to see how many of the top 250 IMDB movies I have actually watched and I am appalled at my number. I have always considered myself a movie lover and I always thought I have watched a substantial amount of good, even great movies till today. According to my calculations, I have only seen 75 movies from the 250 movies listed.
Read MoreRecently I decided that each month I would pick a random book, album and movie and see if I find any gems!! So far the movie selection has not gone too well. Although I did find a great movie amongst all the crap I've seen, I wish the rest of the movies weren't all so terrible!
Read MoreA few weeks ago I decided to start a new project. Each month I am randomly going to select an album from iTunes, a kindle book from Amazon and a movie from HMV or Netflix and enjoy! I felt this quirky idea would be really fun and besides expanding my horizons, this will hopefully lead me to some amazing movies, artists and authors, ones I would never of come across had I not been adventurous.
Read MoreI was rather late to hop on the 'How I met your mother' train but now that I did I regret not having watched it sooner! From the moment I watched the pilot I was hooked, and there was one reason for that, Neil Patrick Harris aka Barney Stinson. When watching certain movies and shows you can't help feel that the part was meant for that specific actor or actress.
