"As a person who enjoys movies about rich people with personal problems, I am obviously very fond of the collected works of Whit Stillman. This one, his first, is talky and romantic and features a baby-faced Chris Eigeman—that alone is worth the price of admission."

Book Favorite

"Chris Whipple’s exploration of the role of the White House chief of staff and how that position affects the president, the public, and government is a fascinating read. I think Whipple has pulled back a curtain and given us some important insights into how the presidency works."

Chris Pratt steals the show
I loved this! Just as much as I enjoyed the first one. Chris Pratt brings so much humour and "normalmess" to the film. Finding out more about his character and watching the developing relationships and new relationships form felt personal. It had such a feel good feeling surrounding it even when emotions were high. Of course it was action packed with a strong vast. I didn't think baby groot could have had a decent role with this film, but I was surprised and accepting of his role and appearance. I could watch this over and over.
I can't forget to add that the soundtrack is awesome!

The janitor of a school is closing up for the night. After hearing noises and a scream, he goes exploring to find a girl crying. He goes to help only to be told by another girl with blood on her hands to run and the movie starts.
Once the movie starts properly, we see both girls. One is the daughter of the hot new English teacher and the other being the yearbook photographer. Both girls get chatting after school in the computer room and agree to meet up to study. We soon discover that kyla (the yearbook photographer) has an ulterior motive, she is obsessed with rileys dad. It is more than a crush though. She doesn't want anyone else to get in her way of how she feels about him (Chris). At first it starts with her trying to keep Riley away from Trisha (another girl with a crush on Chris), and makes up lies to keep her mum and Chris from spending the night together, and even breaks them up before seducing Chris herself.
Personally I don't get the negativity surrounding this movie, I actually quite enjoyed it. OK a couple of scenes were a little cringy, such as when kyla was hitting herself, I couldn't help but laugh because it was so ridiculous.
It is very much like swimfan except its a student obsessed with a teacher, rather than another student.
I was disappointed with Chris as I didn't expect him to give in to kylas advances which he did, so the rest is on him really for leading her on.
In some scenes I found the music didn't really go with the scene, or there was music which wasn't needed, such as the end scene.
The movie was left open for a sequel which I personally don't see happening.

Watched this on Netflix a while ago now.

I did enjoy this - I love a good action film - but it made Chris Hemsworth's character into a one man army for most of the film. That being said, I'm hoping that there will be a sequel.

K J Apa Chris stepping in last minute
First film to make me cry
Without a doubt Hate U Give was my favourite read last year. As soon as I heard it was going to be a film, I was excited and worried that once again my fav book could get ruined. I please to say this didn't happen.

This film is heart breaking breathe taking and will destroy your emotions. Amandla performance was on point I don't think I've ever seen such a great castings choice. Interestingly K J Apa came into the film late in results after the first Chris got sacked. I'm not usually a huge fan of K J yet I found Chris in the film entering which is suprising because in the book I found him rather annoying.

It also intresting to see Antony Mackie as a villain of the film after being so used to seeing him as a hero in the marvel fanschises.

Without a doubt my favourite film of this year
  
The Mummy (2017)
The Mummy (2017)
2017 | Action, Adventure
The biggest culprit here is a near total lack of originality. The DNA of so many movies forms the basis of THE MUMMY, that it’s enough to make your head-spin.
Critic- Chris Bumbray
Original Score: 4 out of 10
