Easy A - dir. Will Gluck

I really don't know how I feel about this film… There were some good moments, and a whole lot of other weird moments… We were supposed to believe a 23 year old was 17, but that's no different from most teen flicks to be fair.

I like what they tried to do at the end with her explaining that her sex life is no one else's business, and I liked that Lisa Kudrow was in it!! It just didn't sit right with.

Rating 5/10

It wasn't terrible! They had some good intentions! Left me feeling kinda uneasy though.

April and May Watching Recommendations

Lockdown has been a great opportunity to spend time watching loads of random crap, which has been great! Here's a few of my favourite things I've watched over the past two months, sometimes for the first time, and some of my faves. In no particular order… Hollywood - created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan 8/10 - Netflix This show said gay rights. I don’t know what I was expecting when I started watching it, but oh my god I love it. It does unfortunately feature Darren Criss, who I’ve recently discovered that I don’t stan. I recommend going into it blind, for no reason other than I did and I enjoyed it that way. What We Do in the Shadows - directed by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement 9/10 -Amazon Prime The funniest film I’ve ever seen. That’s all I’m saying High School Musical: The Music: The Series - created by Tim Federle 7/10 - Disney+ Okay, so I know you’re judging, but give it a chance. It’s a lil slow to start but it’s go...

5 Shows and Films with Good LGBT Representation

LGBT representation (and representation in general) in film and TV is so important! Representation allows people to see characters they can relate to, it can create role models, and allow people to understand themselves better, or feel less alone. Representation can also be really effective in breaking down stigma! And of course, realistic content show reflect real life!! Anyways, here's 5 films and shows you can watch for some great LGBT representation! SEX EDUCATION created by Laurie Nunn (18+) Netflix This show was ahead of the game in its representation of LGBT+ characters and the way it dealt with a variety of issues. Special mention to Ola, who was pretty much the first pan character I've seen and Florence who was the first (canon) ace character I've ever seen! BROOKLYN NINE-NINE created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur (15+) Netflix Both Captain Holt and Rosa discuss their sexualities and the issues that c...

Me and Earl and The Dying Girl - dir. Alfonso Gomez-Rejon

I did not expect this film to be so heartbreaking. Which is really odd given its title. I guess I just figured it's predictability takes away from its impact. I was incorrect. I watched this film in three sittings, which in an odd way, I think made it better. I bloody loved that it wasn't a love story. And of course, I loved the terrible film references. I think the squirels at the end were surprisingly beautiful, and I think she really suited the name Rachel. The whole premise and the way it was presented was very John Green and cringey, but I've decided that teen films should be cringey. Because so are teens. My Rating: 7/10 I'll probably watch this again, and maybe read the book
