Always remember to pack a Virgin and a Rosary.

Awful things happen against beautiful backdrops and this is no different.
I really like Emory, the horror film buff. He has a close, cheeky relationship with his twin sister, but for all the cheek he'd do anything for her. I enjoyed watching his character develop, his confidence grow and slowly realise how others see him.
The relationship/dynamics between Emory and Conner are interesting.....friends/holiday neighbours.....Emory's secret crush...

This isn't for the faint-hearted, there is blood and danger and it's put me off abandoned buildings again! It's creepy and has a darkness throughout, I love it.

Early noughties (2003) Jack Black musical comedy, in which he plays a slacker guitarist who is kicked out of his band and then gets a job impersonating a substitute teacher at a local high class school in order to pay his rent.

Initially reluctant to do any work at all or to engage with his class, that changes when he hears them during a music class and then decides to form a band so that he can enter the local 'battle of the bands', with himself as the lead singer (which later changes). Cue life lessons in confidence, sticking up for yourself, etc etc...

The look and style is exquisite. (1 more)

DiCaprio and Pitt together on the screen, oozing style and confidence.

Pacing is glacial and will not please some. (0 more)

Glorious to look at, Tarantino’s love letter to 60’s Hollywood.

Saggy and overlong in places, this feels like Tarantino needed reining in at times. As such this feels like a slightly flawed masterpiece.... Tarantino’s Mona Lisa with a few accidental smudges. But its a movie that oozes style in recreating Hollywood in the late 60's.

Charlie played by Logan Lerman is a wallflower, your atypical socially awkward teen watching life pass him by from the sidelines. That is until he starts a new year of school when he meets Sam played by Emma Watson and Patrick (Ezra Miller) two very free spirited older students and their friends. They help Charlie discover love, friendship and music, encourage him to be the writer he can be, and give him life. But then it's time for them to move on for college, and the thoughts that Charlie has been keeping inside about his aunt threaten to spill over and take away his newfound confidence
