#MovieReview: Life of the Party (2018)

I am not a movie reviewer and I don't pretend to be. I will share my thoughts on a movie like I do with the books I read. If you are looking for a full in depth article than I will only disappoint you. However, if you want to know my honest thoughts then keep reading. Feel free to leave your own thoughts (no spoilers) in the comments.

Movie: Life of the Party  

Cert: 12
Studio: Warner Bros  

Release: 10 May 2018(UK)

Genre: Comedy  

Director: Ben Falcone  

Writers: Melissa McCarthy, Ben Falcone

Stars: Melissa McCarthy, Matt Walsh, Molly Gordon | See full cast & crew »  

When her husband suddenly dumps her, longtime dedicated housewife Deanna (Melissa McCarthy) turns regret into re-set by going back to college…landing in the same class and school as her daughter, who’s not entirely sold on the idea. Plunging headlong into the campus experience, the increasingly outspoken Deanna - now Dee Rock- embraces freedom, fun and frat boys on her own terms, finding her true self in a senior year no one ever expected. - Amazon UK. 

Melissa McCarthy is possibly one of my favourite actresses. She is always hilarious. Her movies are always great for a good laugh. Is Life of the Party one of her best movies? No, it’s not. It’s a little predictable, some of it is a flat but it is still a really good funny movie that can help you forget how bloody stressful life is. it’s an escape and that’s what I needed.  

Shocked when her husband decides he wants a divorce, Deanna decides it’s time to go back to college and finish her last year after dropping out the first time. Deanna enrolls in the same college as her daughter and not only does she really embrace college life, she makes friends, finds a toy boy and really finds herself after 20 years of being a stay at home mother. 

As I said this is not Melissa’s best work. Some of the jokes fall flat and you know exactly what’s going to happen. But that didn’t stop me enjoying it. Right now I have been going through some personal stuff and just needed an escape movie and Melissa’s movies are always a go to for me. Certain parts had me actually buckled with laughter. To the point I was snorting LOL. 

 

I found some of the characters a little Meh if I am honest. You have the typical mean girls, the weird loner and the cute boy. Although, I won’t lie the younger cute boy? Yeah it was cliché but a part of me was like “You go girl!!!” Because he is bloody gorgeous. And the whole situation was just comedy gold. 

 

If you are a fan of Melissa McCarthy then you need to watch it. Don’t go into it expecting too much. Take it for what it is. A silly comedy you can escape into for a while. I enjoyed it. And have got a new favourite word. Vagoogle. Once you see the movie you’ll get it.

#MovieNews: Beauty and The Beast (2017)

Movie: Beauty and the Beast (Live Action Remake)

Cert: PG

Genre: Family, Romance, Musical

Directors:  Bill Condon

Writers:  Evan Spiliotopoulos (screenplay), Stephen Chbosky (screenplay) | 2 more credits »

About The Movie:

Belle is a girl who is dissatisfied with life in a small provincial French town, constantly trying to fend off the misplaced "affections" of conceited Gaston. The Beast is a prince who was placed under a spell because he could not love. A wrong turn taken by Maurice, Belle's father, causes the two to meet. (IMDb 1991 Edition)

For while all we had was the image of Belle reaching for the rose. So when they finally released move images online I was overjoyed. I am so excited for this to come alive on screen. Beauty and the Beast is one of THE best disney movies ever made.

I know everyone has already seen them but still couldn't resist. I am so looking forward to this and Emma Watson is just perfect for the role. I also have a big soft spot for Dan Stevens, going back to his Downton Abby days. (Oh Matthew. Trying to not cry, ignore the feels and breathe) He is going to rock as The Beast/Prince Adam.  

And Luke Evans as Gaston? Bloody perfect!! He actually looks like the cartoon Gaston. 

While Beauty and The Beast isn't my ultimate favourite disney movie (That's Peter Pan) it is in the top 5!! I think that may have a lot to do with library though lol. I have read a lot of mix reviews on Belle's dress already. I don't care if it's gold or yellow. I love it no matter. It's stunning and I want one!!

I am loving the disney remakes just now. And I am excited by this so much. It’s making me wonder what other movies they will turn into live action.

Which disney movie would you love to see being remade into a live action movie??

Red Riding Hood Movie Trailer

Synopsis

In "Red Riding Hood," Seyfried plays Valerie, a beautiful young woman torn between two men. She is in love with a brooding outsider, Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), but her parents have arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry (Max Irons). Unwilling to lose each other, Valerie and Peter are planning to run away together when they learn that Valerie's older sister has been killed by the werewolf that prowls the dark forest surrounding their village. For years, the people have maintained an uneasy truce with the beast, offering the creature a monthly animal sacrifice. But under a blood red moon, the wolf has upped the stakes by taking a human life. Hungry for revenge, the people call on famed werewolf hunter, Father Solomon (Gary Oldman), to help them kill the wolf. But Solomon's arrival brings unintended consequences as he warns that the wolf, who takes human form by day, could be any one of them. As the death toll rises with each moon, Valerie begins to suspect that the werewolf could be someone she loves. As panic grips the town, Valerie discovers that she has a unique connection to the beast--one that inexorably draws them together, making her both suspect...and bait.

I haven't read the book yet. I want to just haven't gotten around to it yet. If you have read it, any good??

Now I can admit that the movie looks rather awesome. However, I am not sure if I will go see it. I am not a big fan of Alex Pettyfer as an actor so I may hold off until it comes out on dvd. What about you will you be watching it on the Big Screen??
