What I've Been Watching In June


Hey guys!

For my second post today I will be sharing my thoughts on some of the films I have been watching this month.

1. God Help the Girl
 
I had heard good reviews about God Help the Girl so I searched it on Netflix. I'm so glad I found it as it turned out to be a really great film. God Help the Girl is very different to the films I am used to watching. Emily Browning was fantastic and I liked the songs.


2. Daydream Nation


Kat Dennings is a good actress but this film was quite disappointing. It could have been so much better, but there was too much going on in such a small space of time.

 
3. Finding Neverland

This is undoubtedly one of the best films I have watched so far this year. Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet are brilliant, while Freddie Highmore is adorable! Finding Neverland is a moving film about the family that inspired Peter Pan. I can't believe I've only just watched it!

 
4. Soul Surfer

Soul Surfer is based on the true story of Bethany Hamilton, a champion surfer who was attacked ny a shark, changing her life forever. Bethany, who is portrayed by AnnaSophia Robb, is so brave after the accident - she's determined to get back on the surfboard no matter how difficult it is for her. Soul Surfer is a truly inspirational film and I would recommend it.


5. The Craft


I kept putting this off, since I thought it would be very scary, and I'm rarely in the mood for horrors. However, The Craft seemed to only have a handful of moments that made me jump.. I'd say that the film was more weird than scary.


6. Breathe In
 

Both Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones were brilliant in Breathe In. However, I found the film a bit slow at times, and I wasn't so keen on the ending. Nevertheless, the story itself was good.

7. Blue Lagoon


As I enjoyed the 2012 remake of Blue Lagoon, I decided to watch the original. Luckily, it was on Netflix. I'm glad I watched the original - it's such a lovely film. Some bits were fairly unrealistic but overall Blue Lagoon is a heartwarming film.
 


8. Charlie Bartlett
 

Another film starring Kat Dennings. I also watched this on Netflix. Charlie Bartlett is a funny, but silly, film. Robert Downey Jr plays the headmaster, which seems quite odd.


What films have you been watching recently?
 
Hasta luego!

    We all watched the Blue Lagoon when I was a teenager, and also Endless Love. In my mind, they kind of blend into one! Some great choices here, and totally agree that Freddie Highmore used to be really adorable. He's rather older now though....
