I'm Ill So I Went On A Shop.

-
I may still be ill and extremely sleep deprived but I have decided to take a break tonight! Not before I waddled and sniffled my way to Waterstones and bought myself this!:
 
 
Now I should have saved this till last because this is by far my favourite one & the best one!
 
Next up on my "Haul" shall we say, just like the beauty queens on YouTube! I can be the ill blogger of randomness & well germs...ANYWHO! The next thing I got was this awesome mini magnetic bookmarks:
 
There's quite a few and they have Batman, The Joker & Robin on them as well as Catwoman!
 
Well next up, I think I may have gone a bit crazy with this new interest of mine, I seem to have become slightly obsessed with the movie On The Road. Now OTR was based on a book by a great author named Jack Kerouac, so I went out to by the book and I am enjoying it so far, however because I enjoy the samplings I have read of his work I kinda bought every book by him that Waterstones had...........luckily it was only three!
 
These beautiful books are titled; On The Road, Lonesome Traveler & Big Sur.
 
Next is (Yes there's more!), something simple I promise. I bought this smallish, nice notepad for notes and new story ideas I am working on at the moment, it's big enough to write loads in but also small enough to take around with me!
 
 
 
 GROOVY, right?
 
 
 
Now, no film lovers haul is complete without some classic movies, I didn't go all out today, to be honest I've had so much cold & flu remedy I am surprised I even picked up films and not HMV staff and tried to put them in my DVD player! Errr...moving on:
 
No.1:
American Dad Season 7! Now AD is a personal favourite of mine and I have seen all the seasons but now I finally own S7 on DVD which means I can rewind, fast forward and watch special features until I become American....or a Dad...? Seriously guys, I need to sleep!
 
 
 No.2:
OZ the Great and Powerful, now I bought this because I swear I am the only one that hasn't seen it! Thing is, yes I loved The Wizard of OZ like the rest of you, but I was a bigger fan of the darker film Return to OZ. With this film it looks like magic and fun, but as a film lover someone has made a bright and cheesy film BRIGHTER & CHEESIER! Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong, I'll just have to see what Franco says!
No.3:
Now I know most of you will join me on this one so I'm not going to say anything, except complain about how long it has taken me to own it!
 
 
 
 

 Right I am pretty sure that is it, but don't worry folks I wont let you miss out if there's more!
 
If you want to know prices of these items or where I bought them just tweet me @VelvetFilmMore or simply comment here!
 
I need sleep now before I write more random shit.
 
 
Early goodnight y'all!

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
