Netflix Favorites Review | July & August

It is time for another Netflix Favorites of the month. Well, actually it is kind of two months in one favorites post.

So some of the movies I'm going to talk about today are probably going to be added to my favorite movies/series of all time list. I'm so glad I discovered these movies, some of them are very well know and popular, but there are two of them that I never heard anyone talk about ever.

So I hope you all like the post and let's get started, shall we?

1. Pulp Fiction 

This movie is quite popular, specially on the tumblr community. I've always seen a lot of images of this movie being rebloged and I thought about checking the movie out. So I went on Netflix to see if it was there and well it was. The movie has been in my Netflix List for about 2 months until I decided to watch it. 

I wasn't expecting the movie to be the way it was. It was kind of confusing at first, when I noticed that the movie had scenes that were in different orders. But, when I finished it I thought the movie was incredible. This method of making the movie kind of backwards made me like it alot better, I thought it was genius.

I can't tell exactly what the movie is about. Not becuase I'm afraid to spoil the film for you guys, but because I really don't know what the movie is about. I know that it is about these two hitmen, and there is a lot of action, guns and crimes. Well, it is not a very calm type of movie, you have to enjoy action movies I think, to really like it. 

And one more thing...Tim Roth appears in the movie. I was so happy to sse him act in another movie, I only saw him in Lie To Me. I love that show, I still feel sad that it was canceled in mid season.

2. Looper

This movie is a recent watch for me. I saw it last week and I loved it. Is really my type of movie. It deals with future, time traveling and technology. I kind of got the Inception and Interstellar feels from it. If you liked these two movies, you should totally watch Looper.

The main reason I watch this movie is kind of funny and ridiculous. It was because of the main actor, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I don't know way, but I really like all his movies. Now that I think about it he's kind of my celebrity crush. I loved all the movies I've watched with him in it, so I figured that I would enjoy this one, too. And I was right.

You should totally see the movie if you like futuristic/ sci fi  and action movies or if you just have a crush of one of the actors, because that's totally fine, too. Almost forgot... Bruce Willis is in the movie. Another great reason you should watch it.

3. Don't Trust The B in Apartment 23

You have to watch this show. It is so funny and a very easy watch. I've always seen this show in the comedy section on Netflix, but I don't know why I never picked and watched it before. Now that I have, and I'm glad I did, I love it.

But I'm sad to tell you guys that the show was canceled three years ago, so there is only 2 seasons. I don't mind watching a show that was canceled, but if you have, like many of my friends, you don't need to watch it. And if you are one of those people that don't mind watching canceled series, you should check it out.

Well I had 3 main reasons I watched this show, first one being that I was looking for a girly / fashion type of movie set in NY. Second one, is that one of the main characters is Krysten Ritter. If you don't know she is, she actually is in one of my favorite movies of all time...Confessions of a Shopaholic.

And third reason being very simple, I was just looking for something light and funny to watch. I had just finished the second season of The Blacklist on Netflix so I needed just a simple series to take my focus away from the previous show. 

Well it is very awesome. It is about this girl that moves to NY and is looking for an apartment. So she finds one with a very nice room mate, but it turns out that the room mate is a total b*tch and is just trying to steal her money. 

The story line might not interest everyone, but you have to give it a try and watch the first episode. I promise you, you'll not stop watching the show until is over.

4. Psycho

I don't know if I have talked about this movie in other post before, I was very confused about that so I just decided to talked about again even if I had already. So sorry if I did write a post about it and you have to read another one again. You can just skip to the next review if you want to.

So this movie was incredible. I love movies that have this shady feel about it and specially if it is black and white. And the acting was so good. If you like old movies, that are black and white, and thrillers you should totaly watch this one... it is actually kind of a classic.

And if you like Bates Motel, you will definetly like this movie. Because Bates Motel was based on this movie, well actually more the character Norman. But they are very similar in many ways, but Psycho is a lot more scary. But be sure to watch it, if you enjoy the TV show, you won't regreat it...it is awesome.

5. Brick 

Well, again I watched a movie because of the actor. Yes, you got it right, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in this movie. But if you know me a little, you know that I would never put a movie on my favorites post review if I really did not like it. 

I really enjoyed this movie. It is kind of fast paced, but it not that type of movie that runs and it does not make sense. It actually develops quite nicely. The mystery is very good and it has a twist that you don't expect. 

The movie is about a high school guy that receives a call from his ex-girlfriend asking for help. He wants to help her, but them she turns up dead. And he is determined to find her killer and get revenge. But he knows that the suspects that are involved are popular high schoolers and drug dealers, so it is going to be a lot more challenging and dangerous than he thinks. 

It might be a simple and very common story line, but I promise you it is not. It is very good and if you have free time you should totaly check it out.

So I hope you all liked this post and that you are having a great week.

Netflix Favorites Review | May & June

If you are searching for a new favorite movie to watch or an awesome Tv series to become obsessed with and binge-watch during the weekend, I might have got you covered. In the past months I have discovered some new tv shows and movies that I loved and actually have still been loving. They are 5 in total, 3 series and 2 movies and they are very different from each other, so there's probably one for every taste. 

So let's start, shall we?

1. The Blacklist

This is my N°1 Tv show right now, I loved this show. My mom and I watched together the first season in a week and we were hooked. Sadly there isn't the next season yet on netflix, but when it comes, I will probably watch it in a weekend. 

I couldn't help but notice the small similarity between this show and the movie Silence of the Lambs, the relationship between the criminal and the FBI agent in both, of the movie and series, are very much the same. Although that would be a problem for most of people, that actually made me like the show a lot more, because I am very fond of the movie. So if you enjoy Silence of the Lambs or just FBI, government and political shows with lots of action, you will probably love this show too. 

2. Downton Abbey

After finishing The Blacklist I was kind of lost, you know that feeling that you get when you finish a series and you don't know what to do? So that was me, I didn't know what to watch next and I spent weeks looking for a good show to watch...then last week I found Downton Abbey and I'm already in love with it. I just finished the first season and I've got two more to go, I was reliefed when I noticed that there were already 3 seasons on netflix. 

What made me like this show was of course the history. The story happends in the early 20th century, when the WWI kind of begins. The show is just beautiful, the costumes are amazing, the history accuracy is outstanding and just the story and characters in general makes the whole show a hundred times better. If you are a fan of movies that have lots of history and ones that shows the life in another century, this might be the tv show for you. 

3. Dance Academy 

I found out about this series a few months ago when I was researching some ballet stuff, and I actually really like it. It is not like a love relationship compared to the other series above, but I really enjoy it. What made me watch this series was of course it's connection with ballet, it is very fun to see how is the dance and ballet world through this show, and you can actually learn some tips and tricks for dancing. I would recommend this series for eveyone who likes dancing and some light teen drama.



4. Flipped

This was such a cute movie, i've never seen anything more adorable. I've already watched this movie a few years ago before, but I didn't remmember the name of the movie so I never watched it again. Until, it came out on netflix, what made me very joyful. I told my little brother to watch this movie too, because I think is suitable for young kids above the age of 10, and he enjoyed it too.

In my opinion this is the type of movie that you get some lessons off of it about life. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a cute and lovely romantic? I think, to watch in a saturday afternoon with your family when there's nothing to do.
WARNING! You will die of adorableness.


5- Horns

Gosh, this movie was crazy. I'm not saying in like in awesome way, I'm saying actually like in a crazy/lunatic way. After finishing the movie, I caught myself thinking for a few minutes about what in the world was that film. Is not that I didn't like it, I enjoyed it a lot actually. The plot was very cool, and the twist in the end was very good, kind of predictable, but still very good.
Yes, I watched this movie because of Daniel Radcliffe. What can I do, I always take the change if I can see Harry again. Ok lets go back to the movie now, sorry.

The story was different of course, you don't see someone with horns in that much in movies, but I think in my opinion, there is a much deeper meaning in this movie, but I could not find out what. If you have already watched this film, and want to express what you thought of it, you can comment down below.

I recommend this movie if you are just looking for something unique and kind of crazy to watch. If you are like bored in watching the same old thing over and over again, give this movie a try. It might not had been my most favorite, but it could be yours.




Thank you guys so much for 170 followers on Bloglovin. I hope you are having a great saturday morning. And if you watch any of these filmes, please feel free to leave a comment down below about what you thought of them,

Have a good day,

Favorite Movies | April

1. The Children's Hour

I love watching old movies, specially black and whites ones. This movie was my first favorite of the month because it stars Audrey Hepburn, and I love her movies so much. But there was one thing that intrigued me the most, the show of the subject homosexuality in the 1960s. I have never seen an old movie show such a controversial topic that it was at the time in a feature film, but I was very happy it did. But in the other hand it made me feel pretty sad seeing that almost 70 years later, society doesn't fully accept the topic. Although it is an old movie, it is very current and contemporary. I highly recommend watching this movie.

      2. Unbreakble Kimmy Schmidt

I am in love with this show, it is just hilarious. I recommended it to all my friends and relatives already, and I am ashamed to say that I finished the first season in 2 days, I know I am addicted. You can find this show on Netflix, in fact it is a show created by it. 

This show has such a unique plot, I've never seen nothing like this before, and the main character is so funny, I just loved it so much. 

      3. Little Birds

I discovered this movie on Netflix, at first I didn't give it much attention, but then I saw the movie poster and I thought it was really pretty and I watched it. It is not a bad or horrible movie, I liked it, it was just different. It has a independent movie feel, I don't know if it is, but it looks like one. I really recommend checking it out if you are in the mood for drama or just want to watch something new.

     4. The Audrey Hepburn Story

This movie is a nice way of learning about Audrey Hepburn's life, what she been through, how she became an actress and other adventures she had. Jennifer Love Hewiit played Audrey and I think she made a marvelous job on representing Hepburn's personality on screen. There was so much I didn't know about Audrey and the struggles she had been through, it made me admire her a lot more as an actress and as a person.

     5.  Girl, Interrupted

This movie is so great, a classic I think. The beauty of it is that it can be interpreted in so many different ways in which makes the movie different for everybody. I just really enjoyed it, it is a little  bit crazy I have to say, but really intriguing.


   6. The Impossible

I finish watching this movie yesterday, but I had to include it in my movie favorites. It is such an emotional movie, I cried in a lot of the scenes. This movie is about the 2004 tsunami that happend at Thailand, and it focuses on a family. The most fenomenal part of all of this is that it is a true story, I not about the tsunami part (because that definitely happend), I'm talking about the family's story. They been through all of that tragedy and survived, it is a beautiful story and makes you reevaluate life. I highly recommend it.




Hope you guys are having a great weekend, and thank you so much for 100 followers on Bloglovin.

My February Netflix Picks

I had a busy month, but of course I found time to watch netflix. I love browsing netflix and looking for some interesting movies and tv shows, sometimes I spend hours just searching for something instead of watching something. These are the tv shows/movies that I really liked this past month and I hope that this post helps someone who is looking for new movies to watch.

1. Bates Motel

I was looking for a new Tv show to watch and stumble upon this one. I didn't thought it was going to be good, but it amazed me. I had never seen something like it, it was just so interesting and mysterious. And the show debates a serious topic that is human trafficking, a very efficient way to get people self aware of this "in the shadows" crime that is not that shown in the media. I have to say that it might not be everybody's cup of tea, but give it a try if you are looking for a new show. 

There is the first season on netflix.

  

    2. What If

Gosh this is such an adorable movie. I think Daniel Radcliffe made it 10X more lovable, but all of the actors were great in this movie, they all had such chemesty. I would say that this movie is a romantic comedie, but I don't want to categorize it in any way, but if you are in the mood for a light/adorable/funny movie this is the one for you.

A lot of people don't know this movie, because it's in the independent movies category on netflix, I really recommend you checking out that category bacause of it's unique and never seen movies. I absolutely love watching independent movies, kind of a personal preference.

     3. Sweet Home Alabama

Who doesn't love Reese Witherspoon. I was looking for some of her movies and found this one, it's kind of and old movie, but a good one. I think it is kind of a romantic comedy movie, and well I love this types of films. Of course, it's not one of her best movies, but if enjoy her movies and you are in the mood for a light film, I recommend it.

    4.   The silence of the lambs

So many mixed feelings about this movie. I liked it, I really did, but I feel that there is a lot more behind the story than it was shown . It is an old movie, 1992. I really enjoyed watching it, although it kind of creeped me out in some scenes. If you like CSI, police/investigative movies, you will absolutely like this movie.

     

    5.  Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters

I was really in the mood for a witch type of movie, but I was looking for a new released one and found Hansel and Gretel. I love fairy-tales-retolds and this was an awesome twist on the typical hansel and gretel story. It is just full of action and great bad-ass characters.

Feel free to express your opinions on any of this movies/tv show or if you have any netflix recommendations be my guest and comment down below.

Have an awesome weekend.
