Themed Weeks: Drugged Up Week!

Hi Guys!

I am going to be doing themes for each week, review and discussions on films in a certain category or genre, so I really will be working on things that everyone can enjoy!

Keep an eye out for all blogs as well as news on the next weeks theme to see if you like best is coming up!

First theme will start this week and I name it Drugged Up week, reviewing and talk about films/cult classics based around drugs, be it drug takers, drug dealers or crazy situations characters end up in due to something drug related. The main ones I will be focusing on first is Filth and Trainspotting!

Enjoy and keep update to date with Velvet Film!

    I think a great movie to begin with or to consider is Spring Breakers with James Franco. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this film. Here is my review of the movie, then perhaps we could discuss it.

      I have already reviewed Spring Breakers if you look in the September section and give it a read and see what you think.

Inhumane: Welcome Back to The Female Werewolf!

What is better than a new horror feature about a female werewolf? Not much, I had a think about it and yeah, not much. Lucky for us there are still creatives who understand this NEED for movies with plots such as this one and Eric Winkler is one of them; a fairly new on the market writer who has bought us not only a new horror movie but has done so with the sharp bite of woman empowerment. Inhumane is, as said, a female led werewolf movie in which our main character Lisa has something horrific happen...hold on, let me have the brains behind the movie tell you a little what it’s about, that’s right Velvet-ians, I got to speak to the man himself; Where did the idea for Inhumane come from and made you want to write it? ERIC:  My original thought was "I want to write a movie with a really badass woman as the lead character." Basically, I thought it'd be cool if we had her be a superhero, but her superpower is that she's a werewolf. Well, originally I couldn

Saving The Outsiders House: Danny O'Connor.

Moviepilot.com/Warner Bros. The Outsiders is an american drama movie adaptation of  S. E. Hinton's book with the same title. It was realised in 1983 and had a cast of many familiar faces before they were as familiar and famous as they are today; Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze and pre-Karate Kid Ralph Macchio, with C. Thomas Howell as the lead. The film tackled themes of class, brotherhood and murder and caught it all in a gritty, honest and beautiful bubble. Simply unforgettable. This cult classic was directed by one of the greats Francis Ford Coppola whose name stands against the ever lasting titles of The Godfather, Apocalypse Now and one of my favourites, Bram Stoker's Dracula. With all these fantastic names behind it, from my point of view, I'm surprised it's as cult and underrated as it is. However with that being said, I learnt just how large the ever growing fan base for this movie was  when the key character of the movie was due to be

A Love Letter to Call Me By Your Name.

Call Me By Your Name is a coming-of-age drama, adapted from Andre Aciman’s 2007 novel of the same name. The story, set in 1980’s Italy, follows 17 year old Elio and the love that blossoms between him and an older grad student staying with him and his family for the summer, named Oliver. This gem that is taking the festival circuit, and soon the cinema, by storm is directed by Luca Guadagnino, who we know for films such as A Bigger Splash and I Am Love and with Armie Hammer and breakthrough actor, Timothee Chalamet as the forefront of this movie, who can truly have any doubts before watching?!?! Since I saw a preview screening of Call Me By Your Name yesterday, I have been trying to figure out some structure for a review; something similar to how I’ve always reviewed, you know, ramble too much, talk more about my inability to hate movies and then write a line about the movie itself, but, and not surprisingly, that wasn’t working for a piece on this film. Trying to write a bor
