5 Movies that you need to watch right NOW!

Yes it’s true, this is mainly a list of just some of my personal favorites, and I am in no way an obsessed film buff or a professional movie critic. My experience does not lie in analyzing every single detail of every single film I watch, nor does it lie in cinematography or producing special FX. However I am a member of the public who enjoys the odd movie or 10 on a nice evening, morning or afternoon in, and I do indeed take great pleasure in sitting down for several hours and staring into a systematic screen hoping for an escape. Sometimes on a rare occasion that escape that I long for, that wish, is granted, and I have the pleasure of completely immersing myself into someone else’s hopes and dreams, and someone else’s dramatic action. A plot that delivers these qualities and leaves you thinking about it maybe for days after is indeed a plot that I can get to grips with. So here it is, just 5 of the films that I think (as a standard by-passer) you should watch right now...   

1,

Sunset Boulevard 

 

This 1950 Hollywood classic is the story of the unsuccessful screenwriter Joe Gillis (played by William Holden), who stubbles upon an old mansion that contains the faded silent movie star Norma Desmond. The two grow close in the strangest of ways, as he attempts to write a screen play that will revive her failed career, and put her back on top once again. The real beauty of this film is sometimes not even seen in the film itself, but instead in the parallels between the fictitious story line and the real life plot of the actress who plays Desmond, Gloria Swanson. Without going into too much detail, lets just say that this is certainly one to watch and then research afterwards. But I’ll of course give you a head start with some trivia...

The Life Of David Gale

  
I couldn’t not include at least one of Kate Winslet’s masterpieces in this list, and this is certainly one of them. This 2003 thriller takes us on an intimate journey through the life of capital punishment activist David Gale (Kevin Spacey), who is ironically a prisoner on death row. Bitsey Bloom (played by Kate Winslet) is a journalist known for her ability to keep secrets in order to protect her sources, and here she has just a few days to figure out Gale’s story. The interesting thing about this film is that it received some of the worst reviews known to man, and the overall reception was that it completely supported Capital Punishment as opose to being against it - a naive view on such an incredibly depicted story I think, but of course, you can be the judge of that so check it out.

Paris, je t'aime

Do you ever want to watch about 50 million different genres in the same 2 hour sitting? Well then, this is the one for you. Paris Je t’aime (2006) consists of 18 short films set in each of the different area’s of Paris. This city of love, or so people call it, is exactly what you’re getting here. ‘Paris, I love you’ is the worthiest of titles, as these short films take you on a journey of just that. From love for one another to love for oneself, and then touching on of course love for the city throughout the whole film, it is in some ways a French delicacy and is definitely something that has to be seen to be believed...no questions asked please, just watch it as soon as you can.

Airplane

A 1980’s hilariously hilarious hilarity. So funny that I just had to use that word 3 times! This satirical disaster-comedy film gives us everything from the inappropriate to the down right slapstick. From a fear of flying to a epidemic of food poisoning on board, and of course featuring a blow up auto pilot inflatable, this movie is one to check out when you’re feeling any emotion ever really. Its sure to put a smile on your face and if it doesn’t, well then you’re not getting your money back. Sorry, no returns.

And finally...

Titanic 

 
I tried really hard not to include this James Cameron Blockbuster, but unfortunately my very being told me that if anything would be wrong in the world then that would be it. So here it is, I’m sure you’ve all seen it at least more than once, and if you haven’t then I’m afraid our friendship has come to an end. This 1997 action packed romantic disaster film based on the true story with elements of comedy and an all star cast, surely has something for EVERYONE. The thing I love so much about this film is the way in which Cameron has got so much of the historical event itself, spot on. The amount of research this fantastic director put in to producing such an award winning classic is astonishing. To give such justice to such a terrible moment in history should be applauded ten fold, so James Cameron I salute you...now where’s your knighthood?! I am sure the Queen would skip over that whole not being British thing for you James.  

So there you have it, my top 5. If you have any suggestions of movies that undoubtedly should be added to this or any other list, then feel free to write it in the comments below and I’ll be sure to check it out.  

5 reasons why Sandwiches should be eaten for every meal…

Oh Sandwiches, how I love thee and your Sandwich'ey ways. If Mama Cass could do it, then by heck I’m sure everyone else can too. Sandwiches come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and although 5 reasons isn’t probably enough, it is really all we need to truly understand why everyone (and not just Mama Cass) should be eating these delicious substances for every single meal ….EVER!

1, The All Day Breakfast

Now this is the sort of Sandwich that screams ‘YUM’. Whoever thought to put the words ‘All Day’ in front of the word ‘Breakfast’ and then put it in between two slices of bread needs to be awarded a medal of some sort. Maybe even a knighthood. The mixture of egg, sausages, bacon and if you’re lucky, hash brown’s as well, covered in a heap of tomato sauce is just pure joy and can turn the saddest of frown's upside down. 

2, The Ploughman’s

Ever had one of those days where you just fancied 10 types of cheese with tomatoes, lettuce and a lovely little bit of pickle? Sorry, what’s that? EVERYDAY?! Well then, this is the sandwich for you. On a nice slab of wholegrain bread and maybe with a side of coleslaw, this sandwich has all the ingredients to make a deliciously irresistible lunch time treat. Be sure to wash it down with a simple glass of cider afterwards.

3, The Chicken Triple

3 halves? Better then 2! ALWAYS! I do love it when you get more than you bargained for and especially when it comes down to the scrumptious business of CHICKEN. Be it in a wrap, roll, bap, baguette or just your standard loaf, these sandwiches are surely the king when it comes to mixing it up a bit. A greasy feast of chicken escalope next to a delightful chicken salad and just when you think it’s all over, you’re surprised with a massive helping of chicken and bacon! Just yummy!  

4, The Meat Feast

At this point you’re probably so full from the amount of pure LOAF you have consumed, that the last thing you want to do is eat another sandwich! NOPE! Say no to saying no more, lets show Man VS Food what we’re made of...that being mainly sandwich. The Meat feast is a combination of, yep you’ve guest it …MEAT! Take some Steak, Salami, Pork and heaps of cheese melted over the top and voila…it’s a Christmas miracle!

5, Pulled Pork Bap

I absolutely had to include this God of a sandwich in the ‘5 reasons why list’ as surely its existence alone is reason enough to be eating anything at all! What I mean to say is….who am I kidding, there are no words, just look at it… 

I feel full up just thinking about all of these luscious beauts! Best make myself some dinner then….errrm can noodles go in a sarny?! LETS FIND OUT!

POST SCRIPT: Eating Sandwiches all day everyday can be extremely bad for your health, and especially if (like me) you have a gluten intolerance. Awkward!

Life is too short to read this...unless its not.

It’s easy to think, when you’ve got nothing on your mind. And it’s easy to dream when your mind is filled with thoughts, it’s the getting to sleep part that’s tricky. But once that’s done you can dream for hours and only mere minutes will pass. The two worlds once very separate are now totally alike. You’re filled with thoughts of love, happiness, success. Most people crave success, they crave answers and when they don’t get answers they look for them in the most peculiar of places. Places where they’re only going to get more questions, and less answers. Places like Sainsbury’s, where everyone crowds around the reduced section hoping to find answers to satisfy their stomachs wildest desires - when in reality, all that lays in the tiny refrigerated area, is a small pork pie and some ‘savers ham’ that looks like it’s just falling out of someone’s…she takes a deep breath and collapses on the floor.  

‘Where is it’? Whispered Sally. ‘I told you, its in my car’ Matthew said as he pointed towards a toy car on the floor next to an unused jam jar. 

'But which car? You have so many’. ‘I told you its … ‘she takes a deep breath. ‘I don’t know what the hell is going on here but I know it can’t be healthy’ muttered Sally as she smelt her left armpit in hope of inspiration or resentment . ‘I think that the proof is in the second pudding’.

She reached for the Rum, and as the music was building to a crescendo she finally grab it in one last scoop. ‘That’s it’ Sally shouted ‘the answers have been in front of me this whole time...ITS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW’. She laughed, not really knowing what or perhaps whom she was laughing at. Once again the music built and built, slow at first and then extremely fast, much like someone off of the Biggest Loser climbing up 1000 stairs and reaching the top. ‘SUCCESS, I MADE IT!!’ The music faded and she realised what it had all been about. Sally was one of a kind, or at least she wasn’t aware of any twin’s sisters! 

Are short people abbreviated in life? Is that why some of them have funny hands, that aren’t properly developed? For a brief moment Sally is filled with the acknowledgement and acceptance, that she has longed for ever since she stopped growing at aged 12.

Some of them don't understand grammer either! It's a problem that google image is trying to deal with.

Do you think this is total crap? Well, it is total crap. That's 2 minutes you'll never get back, you're welcome.
