I'm not that worried, darling- 'Don’t Worry Darling'

  Writing this about an hour after seeing Olivia Wilde's 'Don't Worry Darling' in the cinema with my Mum, I can tell you her review of the film would be very different from mine. This was Wilde's second directorial film, following the teen comedy 'Booksmart'. This is a fan favourite for many including myself, loving the film for its original spin on a classic film genre. Unlike her debut, 'Don't Worry Darling' has had a lot more media attention surrounding the activities and behaviours of members of the cast and crew. Who doesn't love a bit of Olivia Wilde, Harry Style, Florence Pugh gossip. I don't have an opinion on whether I like Wilde or not, didn't exactly love her "Miss Flo" comments. However I didn't plan on commenting much on the gossip surrounding the film, mainly because I have lots of thoughts on the actual film, but I will say this; if the director was a man would it be different?  Anyway on to the film...

Not one, Not two, but THREE Bodies- 'Bodies Bodies Bodies'

  I hate horror films. Not because I actually hate them, I have quite enjoyed the very limited ones I have seen however it takes convincing for me to watch them; either by peers or some self motivation. Until about a year ago the only horror film I had seen was 'Bird Box' and to me that was terrifying, pretty sure I had to stop watching as it got too dark so I could pick it up the next day during the daylight. When it comes to horror I am a huge wimp, I hate jumps cares but more importantly I hate the suspense building up to the scare- which is what makes a good horror film. So based on this, this review of a horror film I have recently watched will be a rarity.  I recently watched 'Bodies Bodies Bodies' the Halina Reijn comedy horror slasher film in cinema. Despite it being a comedy slasher film I was still shitty to to watch, especially as this was the first time I had seen a 'horror' film in cinema. The complete dark and inability to hide behind a cushion or

When I tell people I am a big film fan people will often ask who my favourite director is, which is a question I will answer at a later date but today Im just edging you. One of my favourite directors is Wes Anderson. I find it hard to not appreciate his films, they are known for their eccentric and niche visual style which when hundreds of films are churned out every year experiencing something different is always a joy. I haven't watched a huge amount of his films but have been enjoying going through his discography (especially since I've leached off my brothers Disney Plus). Of course I have seen his more 'main stream' classics like 'Fantastic Mr Fox' or as many say his best 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'. However the first Wes Anderson film I ever watched was 'Moonrise Kingdom' when I wasn't even aware who he was. The hazy colour platte was nothing I had really seen before in film and the absurdity of the storyline always stuck with me.  The
