La La Land (2017) Review

Image
Cast- Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, John Legend and Rosemarie DeWhitt Director- Damien Chazelle Synopsis- Mia is an aspiring actress working in a coffee shop serving drinks to movie stars. Sebastian is a jazz musician who plays piano to the public at party's, concerts and restaurants. As the two of them  become more and more successful in their careers they become faced with lots of difficult decisions that start to break apart their love and make their relationship turn more fragile. Their dreams start to take over which has a drastic affect on their relationship. Review I was thought that the start of this film was great and the song was amazing and it was setting up to be a great film. As the film progressed and we got to know the two main characters I started to lose some interest as it was jumping from one place to another which made it quite confusing. The songs in this part of the film were outstanding. Once the film got further and we got to see more of the couple

Moana (2017) Review

Image
Cast- Auli'i Cravalho, Dwayne Johnson, Nicole Scherzinger and Jemaine Clement Directors- John Musker and Ron Clements Synopsis- Moana is a girl who has a passion for sea voyaging. She is the village chiefs only daughter, her family come from a long line of navigators.  The islands fishermen are no longer able to catch fish and the islands crops are failing. Moana finds out that a demigod Maui has caused all of the disasters to happen, he did this by stealing the heart of the goddess, Te Whiti. The only way to bring the island back to normal is to convince Maui to return the heart back to goddess. With that in mind Moana sets off on an epic journey across the Pacific. Review I thought the opening was nice and very typical of most Disney films, and reminded me of Mulan in the way the story was told. I really liked the role Moana's grandma played at the start, I thought the grandma told the story of Maui in a very convincing way.  I very much enjoyed all of the scenes wi

Diary Entry 3

Today was set out as a park free day, which seemed odd at first as you are in this theme park bubble full of movie goodness. We decided that today was the day we go shopping I bought a grand total of one item in our first stop Forever 21, I have ben to one of theirs shops before but this one reminded me of Primark, a massive jumble sale, I was not intending to buy much as I wanted park merch. We had Subway, it was no different to Subway here in the UK but I love Subway so it was fine by me, we also had a Starbucks, I personally think that our Starbucks in the UK are half hearted compared to  Starbucks here in thee USA. I enjoyed our shopping outing but I was missing the park bubble. On the way home  we went to our local Walgreens I like makeup and I knew what items I wanted to try but I found that there is a lot of crossovers than there was a few years ago. I knew the 2 brands I wanted to try were Milani, Physicans Formula and Wet and Wild. I ended up buying a Milani blush in Lunimoso,

Diary Entry 2

Day 2 Today we attacked a day of pool side reading and Universals Islands Of Adventure. I spent another day in paradise sat by the pool reading a book, again life was getting better by the minute. The sun was shining down, not a cloud in the sky the day was perfect. After I was told to leave my happy place, we set off to Islands Of Adventure, I had never been to this park ever, but I was told that I had been to the Studios park before. I was not sure what to think, as to my right was all things Dr Seuss and to my left was all things Marvel, I found it very odd. We choose the left option, the first ride of the day was the cat in the hat ride, it was crap really crap, another level of crap, never again should a ride like this be aloud to run. This ride was one of those rides where you ride the book/movie. The second ride of the day was the Seuss trolly train ride, I liked this ride I thought it was a really sweet ride, I also thought that this ride was relaxing. Also if you want a goo

Diary Entry 1

I thought I would type up my diary entry's from my Orlando trip last summer. Day 1  Today was my first day in Orlando and I can already say that it is much better than cold wet England. The weather was perfect and I spent my first morning reading a book by the pool, does life get any better? After a morning of relaxation which was exactly what I needed after the stressful few months i'd had. We went to Walmart, the USA's Asda, I am not a huge fan of Asda so I was no look forward to this shopping trip. This place was massive full of food that I never thought I needed but I did. On a side note I might have bought to much food. The second part of my day was spent in Universal Studios, now I am a Disney girl at heart but I love me some Minions so I was all about the Minion life. I was determined to A become a Minion and B try and somewhat get rid of my fear of rollercoasters. We got a return time for he Minion ride as I use my wheelchair. So ride number 1 was the mummy, I
