It’s Tuesday so that means it’s time for another T Shirt Tuesday!
What’s going on with Rome right now? I know that it’s a tourist place and people go all the time, but it seems that everyone is going this year, including myself, I went there earlier in the Summer and it was great.
That leads me on to my T Shirt Tuesday this week, which is this tee from the Hard Rock Cafe in Rome.
Hey guys!
I hope you had a good weekend, it was another hot one! There’s been a ton of Summer sales on over the past month or so, have you bought anything from them? They’re so hard to resist, so I got a couple of shirts from Mango. I probably have far too many shirts, but I couldn’t resist, and got these two; One a dark navy shirt, the other a more casual buffalo check shirt.
Let me tell you about them…
I found my new TV Show to watch! The Bold Type, which is on Amazon Prime, and it’s good!
It’s actually not new, it aired in the USA in 2017 on an American network, but we got it in the UK back in February…You may have seen the ads for it on TV. If you like programs like Entourage, Girls, Red Oaks etc. then you may like this. I love shows like this, because it’s all about the characters and their friendships, which is exactly what those other shows are about.
For film night I decided to check out to see if there was anything good on Amazon Prime, and I happened to see that Logan Lucky was on there, so decided to give it a watch. I kind of knew of the film, I saw previews of this when it came out at the cinema last year and it looked good, so I was happy to give this a watch and see what it was all about.
It’s a comedy heist film, in the same kind of style as Oceans 11 and it’s squeals, and is directed by Steven Soderberg, who was responsible for those films too.
I saw that it was on Amazon Video so I decided that I’d watch it so I could tell people that I’d finally seen it. Yes, I am talking about the film Moonlight. I knew nothing about this film, other than everyone was talking about it, and all that controversy when it won the OCSAR for best picture when it beat La La Land.
So going into the film, I knew nothing about it at all, the plot, the characters or anything. In short, it’s a coming of age film split in 3 parts which is about a boy’s journey through his life, and his struggles. It’s about his sexuality, abuse he gets in his younger years, and dealing with his mother’s drug habit.
It’s been a little while since I wrote about the films I’ve been watching, mostly because I haven’t been watching too many. It’s usually a Sunday thing, but since Top Gear has came back, I’ve slowed down my film watching. But I did watch a really good film the other night, 24 Hour Party People.
It’s a film I’ve kind of seen before. I caught around 30 minutes of this years and years ago, loved it and wanted to watch it again, but never knew what the film was called. I then found out, and so was finally able to give this film a watch for it’s entirety, and it’s a good one!
I have watched so much stuff around the 80’s and 90’s and popular culture, music, general life and everything in between, and of course living in the 90’s was epic, watching films and TV set around this decade will always mean something to me. 24 Hour Party People is exactly that, a comedy-drama film set in the mid 70’s to the early 90’s about the music scene in Manchester.
It’s all about the bands through these decades, from Joy Division to New Order and the Happy Mondays. It centres around Tony Wilson, a news reporter for Granada Television played by Steve Coogan. He goes from creating a series on TV about the punk rock shows in Manchester to eventually founding a record company, Factory Records, and then the infamous Hacienda nightclub.
The film is a dramatisation based on real events as well as rumours, and catalogues the highs and the lows of the life in the music scene around the time, with a lot of memorable and infamous faces playing roles, including Peter Kay, Ralf Little, John Simm and Rob Brydon all featuring.
The film was a brilliant watch, if you like music or life from this era then you’ll love it, although you’ve probably seen the film before, since it was released in 2002!
Hey guys!
So I haven’t watched a film for a while, and I decided to watch Gold, which stars Matthew McConaughey. It’s been in my wishlist on Amazon for a while, so I decided to finally give it a watch. I must watch films more often, because for some reason Amazon keep removing films I want to watch, they mustn’t have them for very long which is extremely annoying! Anyway…
It’s a film about gold, more specifically loosely based around a true story which was a scandal about gold mining in Indonesia. Kenny Wells (McConaughey) plays a character who’s family runs a gold prospecting business. His father dies, and 7 years later the business is failing, with Kenny losing the office and almost going broke, working out of his girlfriend’s bar.
I was having a browse around on Amazon Prime for something to watch and I came across this film called Premature. I had a look at the trailer and it seemed like it could be a good film, a teen high school comedy type kind of film which is something I usually like.
Hey guys!
Ever since I’ve had a blog I have got more and more into photography. It’s something which I really like, and I am constantly learning different things, and experimenting with different shots and settings.
Over the years I’ve got myself a small collection of lenses, as well as some other bits and pieces which I’ve needed for photography. I’ve never had a dedicated and purpose built bag to put them in, but now I have – The Camera Sling Pack from Incase.
Hey guys!
Several weeks ago I was in London when I was showcasing Life splicing for Virgin Trains, and although it was a super quick stop off in London, it was great to have a small look around to stretch my legs and check out the big city.
I love London but don’t go as much as I’d like. Since I was down there anyway I decided to check out the usual tourist spots and just have a look around the city. It was a gloomy January as you can see from the photos, and it’s kind of a different place to when I’ve been either on the weekend or in the Summer.
