Review: Inside HBO's - Game of Thrones

Movies: Reviews

It's time for some movie reviews! Next to re-watching all the Harry Potter movies this month, because my boyfriend had never seen them, I've watched some movies.. I'd never seen before. I also decided to give the movies a grade out of 10.

Side Effects
This is the only movie I saw in the cinema of these 4. I didn't really hear that much about it, but my boyfriend really wanted to see it. Side Effects is about a young woman (Rooney Mara) being prescribed antidepressant drugs. The movie is directed by Steven Soderbergh (Magic Mike, Haywire, the Ocean's movies) and is what I'd would say confusing! I think I liked it but it definitely needed some time to sink in. It's not a movie you just watch, it's what I would call a mind-fuck, all though not as much as I'd expected it to be. And as I don't want to spoil the movie to you, I can't say that much about it. It's very clever and interesting to watch, I wouldn't say, run to your nearest cinema to see it. But if you've got some time.. Check it out!

Overall: 6.5

Blue Valentine
Girls.. Grab some tissues before watching this movie! Blue Valentine is about a couple (Ryan Gosling & Michelle Williams) of whom you follow the story of their relationship. The movie is heartbreaking and both actors do such a fantastic job portraying it. The good thing about this movie is that you jump back and forth in time, without it being confusing. It's not one of Ryan Gosling's most famous movies and until my boyfriend told me about it.. I didn't even hear about this movie. I watched it while being ill which is maybe not the best idea, because it will make you quite depressed. It is a definite recommendation, but not for every day I'd suppose.

Overall: 7.5

Review: BB cream

Without the BB cream on. I'm not wearing any make-up on this picture. 

Review: Canvas, pixum.nl

Pixum.nl asked me if I could do a review of one of their products, by getting one for free. I picked the canvas. For the visitors outside of the Netherlands, this is a Dutch website and you can only order if you live in the Netherlands or Belgium. This is the reason why I decided to write this review in Dutch. But don't be alarmed, all my other blogs will be in English, like always.

Here I go:
Nou dit is ook voor mij weer even wennen. Een blogje in het Nederlands schrijven. Maar aangezien Pixum toch een Nederlandstalige website is en ik akkoord ben gegaan met het schrijven van een review. Dacht ik dat het beter was in het Nederlands. Jullie hebben in een van mijn eerdere blogjes al gezien dat ik een foto reportage heb gemaakt van mijn 'LDR' (Long Distance Relationship). Ik heb uit deze serie een foto gekozen en laten drukken op een canvas.

Ik heb gekozen voor de canvas zonder lijst 4:3 op 30x40 cm. De foto heb ik uiteindelijk (na veel twijfelen) in zwart/wit opgestuurd omdat ik dit uiteindelijk simpelweg, leuker in mijn kamer vond passen. Met een klein weekje werd de canvas bij mij afgeleverd. En ik was eigenlijk een beetje verbaasd, wat een fijn papier en mooi afgewerkt lijstje. Vooral voor deze prijs was ik aangenaam verrast over hoe het er uit zag. De foto is mooi scherp gebleven en het materiaal voelt goed aan. Alles is helemaal intact en er zijn zelfs extra houtjes bij geleverd om het lijstje op te hangen.

Ik weet niet hoe ik dit lijstje mee ga nemen maar mijn vriend en ik het zijn het er beide over ons dat de canvas in ons appartement terecht moet komen. De grootte is precies goed en naast dat we beide toch ook wel gek zijn op deze foto, ben ik heel erg blij met hoe de canvas er uiteindelijk uitziet. Hij staat nu gezellig op mijn kleine kamertje (ze hebben liever niet dat ik spijkers in de muren sla) en ik ben er nog steeds ontzettend blij mee.

(I made some changed to the layout, wasn't completely happy with my last design. This one will stay for a while tho!)

Album review: Taylor Swift - Red

Music. My taste will go from Metallica, AC/DC and Muse to Mumford & Sons, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift. I like a lot of different genres but love to discover new bands and go to concert in small venues. 

I decided I'll share my opinion about Taylor Swift's new album Red. I've been listening to Speak Now and Fearless for about a hundred times and while I was a bit sceptic about this album, I was still very excited about Red. After hearing a few first songs, I lost hope as I had to get used to her new style a lot. The experimenting and change from her country style to more of the pop side. (which I definitely didn't like) 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' started to grow on me. And I liked 'Red'. But then 'I Knew You Were Trouble' released. The worst song so far in my opinion. It sounds like a dubstep song which was screwed up by some dj. 

Movie review: The Perks of Being a Wallflower

If you haven't seen the movie yet or want to avoid SPOILERS stop reading right here. If you don't know anything about this movie... Please go see it! It's absolutely beautiful.
