For a movie mentioning Christopher Lee and “relentless horror” in its blurb The Resident sets the bar high with a lot to deliver. While the “relentless horror” was more “disturbing creepiness” than anything else it did create a sense of unease and kept me watching with morbid curiosity right until the credits rolled.

My Favourite Five: Brittany Murphy Movies
Brittany Murphy was a talented actress who proved she could act across genres and take on challenging roles. One thing I liked about her was that she wasn’t afraid to pull facial expressions and put everything into her role. I swear, there are some actresses out there that seem scared to crack a smile lest they wrinkle or look out of sorts.

Chicago VS Burlesque
Both are cabaret style movies, both have strong vocals and dazzling choreography and both will leave an impression, but, if you put them up against each other is one stronger? Continue reading “Chicago VS Burlesque”
My Favourite Five: Anne Hathaway Movies
I like Anne Hathaway. While she may have gotten her big break in a Disney movie, she hasn’t shied away from varying and challenging roles. Here are five of my favourites:
My Coconut Journey
I’ve been reading up on the hype of coconut oil and coconut water and I must say it has me a little curious. There is so much information and testimony out there about the many benefits of coconuts. It’s apparently a very good source of moisture for your hair, skin and overall hydration. However, as you can’t believe everything you read, I decided to test it out for myself. I bought a jar of virgin, cold pressed coconut oil for the purpose of my experiment and tried a couple of different coconut water drinks. Here’s what I have discovered so far: Continue reading “My Coconut Journey”
My Favourite Five: Phoebe Quotes
I love Phoebe as a character because she’s sassy, childlike and tough and just when you think you’ve got her all figured out she throws out a one-liner that will either make you laugh or leave you with a mountain of questions. Here are my favourite Phoebe quotes:
5) “A promise between friends means never having to give a reason.” (Phoebe can be rather profound when she wants to be and quite the manipulator – poor Joey!)
4) Rachel: “Phoebe, do you have a plan?”
Phoebe: “I don’t even have a pla.” (Yep. There has been so many days like this.) Continue reading “My Favourite Five: Phoebe Quotes”

Thoughts on the movie Blended
Blended is one of those movies you don’t deliberately go out of your way to see but when you do happen to watch it you are somewhat glad that you did.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore together in The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates. Their chemistry was natural and the storylines well fleshed out and balanced with well-timed comedy. Blended, however, fails to transition into an Adam Sandler classic and instead manages to be an average family friendly movie you might drag out on a rainy day for kids between 9 and 15.

Binge Watching Favourites: Cover Affairs S1 Ep1 – Pilot (extended version)
Covert Affairs is a sassy, well developed, action-packed spy drama. It has the intrigue and intensity of Alias and the quick wit and friendly banter of Bones (with sarcasm thrown into the mix too). Add to that characters that draw you in and I’m hooked!
Here’s my run down of the pilot episode: Continue reading “Binge Watching Favourites: Cover Affairs S1 Ep1 – Pilot (extended version)”
