Rainbows are a good sign, right?

Back again,, blah blah blah. Didn't want all my posts just to be movie reviews so this should split it up a bit lol. Last weekend, I went to see my friend in Wales and I proceeded to loose my phone on the coach and then find it, and then loose my camera on the train - has not been recovered </3. It was a wild weekend honestly, and although seeing my friend was great nearly loosing my phone caused me to go a bit crazy. As much as I can claim my phone is not an important part of my life, sadly it is, as I needed it to get home (coach tickets) and so much of my important things e.g passwords and phone numbers are on it. Getting it back was a bit of a rescue mission, that was spearheaded by my beloved friend as we sat at the bus stop. We were able to intercept the coach at its last stop thanks to another friend who lived near the terminal and was able to free it from the grip of the coach driver. Have never been so grateful to have friends in random places before. <3

As for my camera,, I think it fell out of my bag when we were on the train. Most of it I think was backed up already but it still sucks as it was my beloved cybershot I've had for 9 years... I did take some phone photos of the trip though.

Castle!

Even with the drama it was fun to see my friends! Probably need to take better care of my belongings though. I saw two rainbows on the way home so I must be doing something right lol? Been having more fun with my hair lately~ here is something I did for church today. 

Today I also went to a charity shop I usually don't go to because I have barely found good stuff in there before. Well, I was wrong! I found lots of cool things, even stuff I didn't get because I was being restrained.. lol.

I found this poncho for summer!

I nearly left without this dress :0 It's soo cute and more of a chocolate brown than the picture.

Whoever donated these must of liked Kim Deal hehe. Never listened to either of the full albums so I was excited to find them =)

 

Not an excuse but I've been busy working on my Thursday shrine as of late but now that's done I will return to the blogsphere. It has been one of the most fun projects I've ever done on my site though, there is more JavaScript in it than ever before *gasp* and I've actually managed to pull of things I didn't think were possible in the past so that's pretty awesome. There's also a quiz if you were curious about which Thursday album you are! Must.. return to making film log.. agh...

What I've Been Watching (Feb 2026)

 Oh no... I wasn't supposed to not update my blog for a month but I guess it just happened. Will not hopefully do that next month.

So. What did I watch this month?

Sunday 1st February  

Black Narcissus (Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger)

Welcome to films from the 1940s. Racism? Yes. Crazy face-cards? Yes. Sets so beautiful they make you tear up? Yes. On first glance Black Narcissus is a classic nun in a foreign country film ala The Nun's Story, where the beautiful nuns go to a poorer country and "fix" everyone by teaching them Chri
stianity. The thing about Black Narcissus is that it doesn't really work out that way for them at all and they end up straying very far away from their original mission in a tale of lust, under eye makeup and what not to do on the side of a big cliff. I can't excuse the racist aspects of this film but I feel that the film doesn't exactly praise those aspects either, making it a much better watch than other films of the era. The look of the film is so beautiful, I think it's worth watching if only for that and the last half an hour of craziness.

Priscilla (Sophia Coppola)

This film was a pretty big disappointment for me. I like some of Sophia Coppola's other films - Marie Antionette and The Virgin Suicides but have felt confused by some of her newer works. With Priscilla I thought it would be different, unfortunately not. The film is beautiful. Beautiful clothes, wonderful shots of beautiful people and a beautiful soundtrack. But apart from the beauty in this film I barely felt anything for any characters, especially Priscilla. I found there was a huge disconnect between her character and the audience leaving me confused about her actions and wondering the whole time what she was thinking about. I found the set up of scenes weird - you'd see Priscilla think about something, not talking, and then she'd go do something and then it would move quickly on to the next thing with zero explanation. Maybe I'm being harsh but I think biopics can be wonderful - see Control or Walk The Line so I was just sad this wasn't so good.

A Matter of Life and Death (Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger) 

Powell and Pressburger strike again! My mum was watching this film and was about half way through until I asked what she was watching and was like omg I have been wanting to see this! So after her saying she was going to restart the film for me and me saying noo don't we ended up watching it together. Thank u mum. This film is like the question of whether love can save a life put to the test - literally. The premise is quite simple, a fighter pilot parachutes from his plane, minus a parachute and dies - at least he was supposed to! Miraculously he lands in the sea and is washed up on the shore alive to be found by the operator he was professing his love to on the phone before he jumped. It's all grand until the afterlife realise that they're missing a body and have to try and retrieve him at all costs. It's a wonderful philosophical time and worth everyone seeing!

The Worst Person In The World  (Joachim Trier) 

I avoided watching this film for a loong time because I hate films about people making mistakes. That is not what this film is. Or is it?  We follow Julie through her adolescence and into adult-hood, she constantly changes her mind about everything (real.) from love to career. In an effort to find herself she instead finds comic book artist Aksel and we watch as they navigate their relationship through ups and downs, disasters and elation. The film is frustrating at times, but isn't life like that too? I thought the music in this was brilliant turning simple moments into music video like vistas. At times it brushes the lines between film and performance art making it an addictive watch. Simply this film is good if you want to think about death and stuff.

Rewatches

so. I saw Twilight in concert for my b-day!! hehe. It was really great to see it on the big screen and everyone was laughing and clapping at all the write moments. The orchestra were soo good too, ty to my sister for getting the tix :D I also rewatched Constantine this month and lost my mind again because it's just that perfect. I also finally watched the deleted scenes and honestly I get why they deleted them, I think the film is better making less sense lol. 

 

Any reccs? Let me know in the comments :)
