What Anna Watched Yesterday

Director: Justin Kelly
Starring: Christian Slater, James Franco, Keegan Allen, Garrett Clayton

I am a huge fan of movies that are inspired by true events, just not the scary ones because that actually freaks the flip out of me.

When I heard of King Cobra I was intrigued, after watching similar old school porn movies like 'Lovelace' and just recently the watching documentary 'Hot Girls Wanted' as it focuses on the gay porn industry. Also, I wanted to see Keegan Allen play a different character than Toby from Pretty Little Liars and am a huge fan of Franco's work more so after reading his book "Palo Alto'.

King Cobra is based on the early rise of straight-out-of-high-school gay porn wannabe Sean Lockhart who soon renames himself as Brent Corrigan (Clayton). Brent signs up with producer Stephen who helps start his career and becomes gay porn famous. After Stephen becomes a little too controlling Brent decides he would be better off as a free agent. The Viper Boyz aka Harlow (Keegan) and Joe (Franco) are a strapped for cash, gay porn producer couple with a toxic relationship who aim to cash in with Brent by any mean possible.

The movie is based on the book Cobra Killer: Gay Porn, Murder and the Manhunt to bring the Killers to Justice. A little warning the movie is rated R 18+ for obvious reasons ;)

Director: Tate Taylor
Staring: Emily Blunt, Justin Theroux, Rebecca Ferguson, Haley Bennett, Luke Evans

Wow, I have not blogged in forever! I want to let you all know I am now fully committed and have made an Instagram page!

Now, I always like to read the book before I see the movie. I recently went to England for 2 weeks and my cousin lent me her book of 'The Girl on the Train', it also helped that the audio book was on the in-flight entertainment!! What an amazing book, I literally could not put it down, and as soon as I landed in Perth I was dying to see the film.

I'll start off by saying the book is always better than the film, however this one was VERY good. They changed the story a little, the book is originally set in London when the movie is set in New York, the relationship Rachel (Blunt) has with her housemate is also very different.

The Girl on the Train tells the story of Rachel Watson, an alcoholic divorcee who becomes obsessed with the couple whose house she can see from her train ride everyday. Rachel's ex husband and his new wife and baby also live two doors down from them. After an episode of her heavy drinking she suffers from multiple black outs and struggles to remember lost time, she soon finds herself in the middle of a missing persons investigation.

I promise I won't list any spoilers as this movie has some major twists, it certainly keeps it's viewers on the edge of their seats. I have read the book and I even gasped at a few scenes. It is a must see from me as Emily Blunt's performance is perfection, also I have a slight obsession with Justin Theroux ever since he stared in Charlie's Angels, so mysterious and so dreamy.
