Trailers

So I'm going to mention a few movies that are on their way to cinemas soon that have caught my attention. I only have two movies to discuss but they do look quite amazing.

Movie #1 : Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

I'll be honest the trailer for this movie has made me cry. I have very high expectations and am so excited for it to be released. Watch the trailer first please...

In my opinion some songs are only brought to my attention when they are in movie trailers, I usually appreciate them more. For example Milky Chance - Stolen Dance and Imagine Dragons - I Bet My Life, these songs I love but they sound even better hearing them in a trailer. We met Greg who is a not overly popular teenage boy, living below the radar. His mother breaks the news to him that a girl he knows, Rachel, has been diagnosed with Leukemia. Greg befriends her, at first to please his mom but realizes he enjoys Rachel's company.

Greg and Earl spend their time making movies together and realize the only thing they can do for Rachel is make a movie for her. The movie itself, appears to have a sense of humour while also being emotionally gripping. I am waaaaaay too exited for this movie. I believe it has already been released in America but is due for release in Ireland September 4th. YAS.

Movie #2: About Ray

I have no idea how I came across this movie trailer but oh well. So we have one of our first movies (or so I believe) exploring the difficulties of a female making the transition to a male. Once again watch the trailer people....

Again I love the song used in this trailer, Shawn Mendes - Life of the Party. What caught my attention of this trailer is that it is not your stereotypical movie. Unlike rom-coms, (which I love don't get me wrong) you can't predict the ending of this movie so easily. It's not just the difficulties faced by a young person who is transgender, but also the difficulties of the people surrounding them who care and are trying to understand in order to help.

There is controversy over this movie due to Elle Fanning who is a cisgender actress, portraying the role of a transgender. I believe it shouldn't be an issue, isn't the acting world all about being given a role and slipping into that role? Acting allows actors/actresses to explore others worlds. Anyway I have a feeling this movie should be good and am once again excited for its release. The release date in America is September 18th.

That's all for now anyway, peaceeeeeeeeee x

#5 Trainwreck

I haven't talked about a movie in.. forever. But luckily I spontaneously went to the cinema last night with my sister. We went to see 'Trainwreck'. 

Let's take a moment to appreciate my new icon, that is .. Amy Schumer. I first became aware of who Amy Schumer was when she purposely fell on the red carpet in front of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, as you can see below..

Yea so clearly she has a sense of humour, which explains why she is a stand up comedian! Anyways so back to the movie! So Amy wrote this movie, impressive right? It's a rom-com so automatically I love it. At the beginning we are shown a younger Amy and her little sister Kim being taught by their not so loyal Dad, that monogamy isn't realistic. 

We are shown present day Amy who is now a promiscuous magazine writer. She is given the task to write about a sports doctor Aaron Connors but accidentally falls in love with him. There is much laughter and also tears as she realises that maybe monogamy is realistic. Unfortunately I couldn't allow myself to cry because the cinema was BUZZING. So I had to detach myself from my emotions a little bit. 

All I can say is I really can't wait and am hoping for many more movies from Amy in the future! Link to the trailer below. By the way, Lebron James is in the movie?? OMG.

Run Fast Bitch Run ii

Day 2: So day 2 did not go as well as the first day but I'm that does not mean I've lost my motivation! I'm not planning on running everyday because... I'm just too lazy for that! I did go for an extremely brief run (mainly walk) today with my friend, so that has to count for something right? 

Day 3: .... I did not run

Day 4: I was ...working. I honestly was working for the day but I did walk to work so that has to count for something!

Day 5: I did not run again today. I went to a party, so to be honest the amount of dancing I did has to count for something.

Day 6: I was working today so ...

Day 7: Again, I was working today so no luck with exercise, I did walk to work though... 

This week hasn't been that good for my exercise, if anything I feel FATTER. But I must remain positive. I'm getting away for the next week and so I am going to take full advantage of it along with my mother and get fit! Hopefully I'll have more than one line for my updates next week. 

#4 Inside Out

Finally!

I've been waiting for this movie for months. I am sucker for cheesy trailers and the trailer for this movie is nice and cheesy in my opinion. I love the music chosen for it, I think it is so cute and sweet. Watch the trailer if you haven't already.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seMwpP0yeu4

Basically the movie is set in the world of a young girls mind, Riley. The movie personifies five emotions, Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), and Disgust (Mindy Kaling). We follow Riley's emotions as she deals with moving to a new city. Well yea I won't go into much more details because I am terrible at giving synopsis'. But as usual Pixar don't let us down. Top notch movie, so just go and watch.

LONGITUDE Part 1

SUMMER = FESTIVALS

I know summer doesn't equal to festivals but moving on to the point, so summer is the main season for festivals to be held, am I right? I hope so, ANYWAYS so for my 18th birthday this year, my group of friends (who are the sweeeetest) chipped in their money to get me gifts, put together in a hamper, one of those many gifts included a one day ticket to the Longitude festival in Dublin, this Summer 2015! Not bad eh? Yes I am vuuury lucky. So I am sad to say that I had never been to a festival before and to be honest, had zero notions of what to expect! So here is a look at the line up we had for the weekend..

I'm embarrassed to admit that, out of all the acts listed above I possibly only know/heard of 6 or 7 of them! The ticket my friends got me was for Saturday 18th July. Alt-J and Years & Years YAS. So you could say I was preeeeeetty excited. We booked ourselves into a hostel that we stayed in last year, when we went to see Macklemore and then we organized our buses. Most of our group went on the Friday, as well as the Saturday. I don't think I would've had the energy to last the three full days but next year I will make it happen!

#3 Bridesmaids

Okay so if you did not ever see or have heard of this movie, wow.. How did you manage that?! I literally have seen this movie DOZENS of times! Never fails to make me laugh and once again we have the fabulous Rose Byrne. She is brilliant at being an utter bitch while making you laugh. Kristen Wiig is an absolute bae. Being hilarious just comes naturally to her.

For those of you living under a rock, the movie more or less speaks for itself, it's about a wedding and particularly... The bridesmaids! It deals with friendships and the struggles and what not, while being hysterical. The whole cast in general are brilliant and on point. 

SPOILER ALERT: it's a happy ending but what more can you expect with a comedy?! I love the humour throughout, so immature but what more could you want? WATCH IT.
