Let's Review

Hey guys


So as I have probably explained on my old blog I have a HUGE interest in movies and making them. So I was thinking, Hey! I watch a tonne of films so why not share my opinion. Maybe after my review it may inspire you to watch and then that film will become your favourite movie too, who knows?

NOTE: Have a film you want me to review? Leave a comment down below and I will watch and give my opinion, and sorry if its a bad review because I have to be honest okay?

So coincidentally I went to see Me And Earl And The Dying Girl (Trailer to the side of this post) with my friend. Now the rating is a 12A but I wouldn't be surprised if it were a 15 at some points with it's jokes and rude parts but then again the rating does fit it perfectly. Now this is a book adaptation which I haven't read but do have a copy which I intend to read.

I have to say although my friend likes to refer every new movie to an old one saying "it was just a copy" Is really pointless. I thought it was a good watch with some great humour and all in all some good acting.

I mean it wasn't exceptional but I'd probably watch it again and if you knew you'd know that I'm not one to watch movies again unless I think that they're great. It was a good story line with a sad but good ending. I have to say I am saying 'good' a lot but in all honesty there isn't much else to say about it other than that it was good. Granted it was just me and my friend in the cinema watching it but I enjoyed it.

This is probably a crappy review but here's the storyline:

Awkward, lanky, and self-loathing, Greg Gaines is a senior at Pittsburgh's Schenley High school who appears to drift through life while only seeming to broadly associate himself with the various cliques within Schenley's halls. He learns that a fellow student and former childhood friend of his, Rachel Kushner, has been diagnosed with leukemia, and is forced by his overbearing parents and to befriend her in her time of need. Despite neither of them truly wanting the other's company, Greg manages to strike up a conversation about her pillow collection. She finds his quirky personality endearing, and they make plans to meet on a regular basis.

There is no romance but a great friendship, which I love because with all the films coming out these days romance is getting a tad boring and I think it's time a little guns and action came back.
Something 2016 is hopefully going to kick ass with.

Now reading upon some of the awards that The film received it did pretty lucky to get into cinemas but I doubt it will remain there for long. I don't know if you all like something along the lines of  TFIOS then maybe this film is for because apparently it's very similar to it. Probably because there's a boy, a girl and the girl has cancer and there's a letter. No Joke because apparently those things represent TFIOS to my friend.


But all joking aside I would rate this film
3.5/5

It was a good film and definitely my taste of indie types movies but sometimes that taste isn't the majority of what people like. So yes, I would recommend watching it and hopefully you take this review into thought or not I'll still type these posts anyway.


Now I have something to ask.
Hows this for a type of schedule:
  • Monday - movie review (either recent films I've seen or one you've asked me to recommend)
  • Life posts on Friday.
Knowing me I probably won't stick to this but as I am entering GCSE's I do have to kind of grow up and get organised so I will do my best to stick to this schedule type thing.


So that's all from me and like I said If you have a Film you want me to review please just ask and I will.

No more anonymous, no more hiding, Just me
