Byzantium is a strange but compelling cross between a coming of age story, a vampire horror and an on the run thriller all wrapped up in a drama of a love between a mother and child.
My Mother Tried To Murder Me, But Love Confounded Her.
Fifty Shades Of…Okay…This Is A Thing
A mediocre teen vampire series turned to successful yet meh film series turned an okay fanfiction turned crazily popular novel turned surprisingly good movie.
Purple! Your Aura Is Purple!
There are so many components that makes this movie utterly captivity, insanely rewatchable and irrevocably timeless. They all collide, scramble together and present themselves into a movie that I can’t help but say is my favourite of all time.
When A Stargirl Cries, She Sheds Not Tears But Light.
When I heard they were actually going to making a movie out of the book I hold the closest to my heart, I was excited rather than focused on it being years too late. Instead I was hoping for Stargirl to reach other kids who needed her much as I did.
What We Have Here Is A Dreamer
The Lisbons were as real as any other memory I held on to. But how real is a memory?
Miss Americana and the Dormant Fan
Taylor was the popular person to hate. I never actually hated her. I simply allowed the girl I originally admired ripped away by words of the media. The exact same media I would defend other celebrities I adored from with vigour. There was a wall built up so high around Taylor Swift. It was easier not to attempt to scale it. So I didn’t. I let her go.
Ashley Ranks… Her Favourite Movies Of The Decade
The time spent making my top 100 films of the 2010s was ridiculous. I started making it prior to this blog even becoming a thought in my head. Let alone an actual reality. Maybe what truly triggered this whole thing was my roommate asking me why I was making a list so tediously when nobody would see it. Jokes on him.
Ashley Ranks…The 92nd Academy Award Best Picture Nominees
Why hello there. So nice of you to drop in. As per the title of this, I’m Ashley and this is how I rank the best picture nominees. I’ll talk about them, tell you about them and let you know how I feel about them. That sounds fun, right? Well it does to me so let’s do this thing.
What The Cuss?
The charm of Wes Anderson isn’t lost in the animation at all. It actually might even be heightened by it. Fantastic Mr. Fox is a fun, light and thoroughly enjoyable watch in the midst of the heavier award movies everyone is consuming of late and a nice escape from this world we currently live in. It’s just cussing fantastic!
I Like Things That Look Like A Mistake
This movie felt like it was written about me at the very specific time in my life at the time of my original viewing. But the movie was made in 2013 and the time in my life was 2017. So unless Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig time travelled, were some reason in my lame ass hometown and were like ‘Yes...that’s who we should write a movie about’, I’m pretty sure that’s not the case.
