Fifty Shades Darker

17:48

Director: James Foley
Starring: Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan, Eric Johnson

On Wednesday my girlfriends and I went to see the highly anticipated Fifty Shades Darker. It was the advanced screening and at the LUX cinema at Hoyts Carousel. Our tickets included luxurious seating, unlimited soft drink and popcorn, a girls night out goodie bag which was filled with makeup, magazines and rosehip oil and champagne on arrival! Becky didn't want hers so I gained 2 glasses - winning!

I was stressed about getting there early and probably pissed everyone off in doing so, I'm such a control freak. I could not wait to watch it, I had been thinking about this movie for 6 months! I even considered re-reading the book - who am I kidding, I literally have three books on the go at the moment no way was I going to fit in another one, especially one that I had already ready haha!

Without going into too many spoilers, Fifty Shades Darker makes you fall in love with Christian Grey. In Fifty Shades of Grey, I personally hated Christian, beating women for pleasure, no thank you. In the new movie he becomes more of a normal person and wants a normal relationship with Ana, thank the lord. Ana gets closer to Christian and finds out more about his past, Mrs Robinson and suddenly finds herself with a stalker and a creepy boss!

Fifty Shades Darker was incredible, I loved every minute of it. Because I am the biggest weirdo in the whole world, I'm dying to see it again. If I watch a really good film, I have to watch it all over again as soon as it has finished, so the fact that I can't see it again until I go back to the movies is killing me! I've watched all the trailers a million times just to get my fix.

Rita Ora surprised me in this one, she did so much better than the first! Hopefully learnt her own lines instead of having an ear piece in! Jamie Dornan's accent did not annoy me as much in this one, and his stubble made him soooo much sexier. He kisses Dakota's nipples - hmmm wonder how his wife feels bout that one! Also, another plus, the soundtrack is amazing!! Cannot wait to get my hands on it!! If you haven't yet seen it, see it as soon as possible!!!!!!

Ouija: Original of Evil

17:24

Director: Mike Flanagan
Starring: Elizabeth Reeser, Lulu Wilson, Annalise Basso

So definitely watch the first Ouija before you watch the second. I'm pretty grossed out by all this Ouija stuff and boards and what not, but i must admit, after watching this during the day so i didn't get scared, was good!

Ouija: Origin of Evil is set in 1967, in LA, a widowed mother and her two daughters add a new stunt to help their seance scam business by using a Ouija board that they find and encourage hopeless neighbours whom have lost loved ones to believe and hear messages beyond the grave but accidentally invite an authentic evil into their home. When the evil spirits target the youngest daughter Doris (Wilson), she soon becomes possessed and her family confronts unthinkable fears to save her and send the spirits back to the other side.

Definitely a few jump out of your seat moments. The acting by the two young girls, Lulu Wilson and Annalise Basso is incredible. I'm definitely keeping my eyes peeled for more Lulu Wilson movies - cannot wait to see her in Annabelle 2!

Morgan

16:08

Director: Luke Scott
Starring: Anya Taylor-Joy, Kate Mara, Toby Jones

I was so excited when Morgan finally came out! 1 the trailer looked soooo good and 2 big fan of Anya Taylor-Joy, she was so amazing in The Witch.

Morgan (Taylor-Joy) is about a company that creates artificial humanoid beings. After many failed attempts they finally create Morgan. Morgan surprises her creators when she grows intellectually and physically extremely quickly, looking like a twelve year old at only age five. Some of Morgan's creators become completely involved with her as they treat her as their own child. A corporate troubleshooter, Lee (Mara) is sent to investigate and evaluate a terrifying accident that occurs, Morgan attacks one of her creators by stabbing her in the eye in an educational lesson. Lee soon finds out that the event was triggered by something stirring up in Morgan as she presents a mystery of both infinite promise and incalculable danger.

Morgan is one of those movies where the trailer looks better than the actual movie. Another one of those movies that is so captivating and intriguing during the first hour and slowly dies off as it goes on - big twist at the end!



The Disappointments Room

15:53

Director: DJ Caruso
Starring: Kate Beckinsale, Lucas Till, Mel Raido

So a friend who is a big fan of scary movies, who goes to the actual cinema to watch them (something i just can NOT do, i'm a 'watch scary movies in broad daylight' kinda gal) was telling me about this movie. After watching some really good scary movies lately like Don't Breathe and Ouija 2, (reviews coming soon) i thought that 2016 was going really well until i watched The Disappointments Room.

Not sure if i like Kate Beckinsale as an actress - apart from Pearl Harbour because she was literally amaze in that, i certainly don't like her blonde.

So the Disappointments Room is about a family moving into a new home, a beautiful big home, with an architect in the family, they plan to make this their dream home. With the wife already having problems from grieving the loss of their daughter, Dana (Beckinsale) starts seeing things and having vivid nightmares, turns out the house is haunted with a room that isn't on the floor plan - shock horror - and that's about it. Scary shit happens, people die, they move out - the end. ugh bore.

The only good thing about this movie is the black german shepherd!

War Dogs

18:49

Director: Todd Phillips
Starring: Jonah Hill, Miles Teller, Bradley Cooper

After a pretty casual Saturday, Rhys and i decided to get Vietnamese for dinner - so obsessed with Pho at the moment! We ate really early because i was starving then came home and sat down to watch War Dogs featuring some cheeky iced tea.

Jonah Hill MUST of been made to put on a shit load of weight for this role because he is gigantic. Absolutely gigantic. I feel like the poor soul just had to lose weight for Wolf of Wall Street and True Story!

Based on the true story of two young men, David Packouz (Teller) and Efraim Diveroli (Hill), who won a $300 million contract from the Pentagon to arm America's allies in Afghanistan during the height of the Bush administration's wars. The men sell firearms for a living which seems like it should be illegal but isn't.

Hill's performance is amazing, you can tell what his character is thinking when his eyes go cloudy and when he does his squeaky hilarious laugh!

It did go on for about 2.5 hours, at one point i did think it was going to end when it had an hour left however it still kept us captivated, recommended !
