RESOLUTIONS

Hi pals, me again.
Just wanted to say thank you for the phenomenal response to my last post, it's since become one of my most read ever which is so lovely.
Today I'm just writing a little catch up on the resolutions I made at new year. We're now 1/3 of the way through 2017 which blows my tiny mind so it seemed like the perfect time to check in and see how well I may or may not be doing with them. Let's gooooooo

FILM RECOMMENDATIONS

As one of my new year resolutions, I wanted to start watching more films, and more decent films. I've been noting down everything I've watched so I thought I'd pick the best ones for anyone looking for something to watch.

L'ÉCUME DES JOURS | MOOD INDIGO | FILM REVIEW

On Friday when I told an Oxfam campaigner I was going to see a French film, all she responded with was 'why?' So many people miss out on so many films just because they're in a different language and it makes me sad. Anyway. I saw 'L'Écume Des Jours', translated as 'Mood Indigo' at Newcastle's independent 'Tyneside Cinema'. I do love an independent cinema, they show some really good films that the big chains don't, like anything in a different language or something like 'Boyhood' which I saw a few weeks ago.

MY TOP 10 FILMS

I know this is meant to be my year abroad/travel blog thing but I'd also like it to be my proper blog which isn't just social justice and beyoncé reblogs on Tumblr. I've decided to start this 'series' of my 'top 10' favourite things, starting with films. Hopefully I can make it to 10! I plan to do albums, books, tv shows and then other sorts of things, maybe my top 10 favourite places/restaurants in Alicante or things like that to incorporate it into my YA theme. Who knows, I'll probably not even get round to my top albums. ANWAY enough rambling, onto the actual post!
