More horrors! I'm not a genre blog...I promise.

I've been a bit poorly as of late, but I've luckily had the best "nurse" looking after me! So, over the past few days, as I haven't really been doing any work, I seem to have watched a few more horror films and as always I thought I would share my opinions of them on here.

I don't know why I seem to be in the mood for so many lately. I think I've got a little sick of the typical rom-coms so I'm trying to watch as many non-rom-com films as I can! Much more interesting! However none of the four I have watched lately have been particularly good...

Horrors Galore!

This past week, I have watched three horror films. Two recent ones, and one not so recent (and not something I would necessarily consider horror). There were The Haunting In Connecticut 2, Mama and Battle Royale. All three were very different and they seemed to get better each one I watched. I thought I would write a little about them on here as it was definitely a little horror stint I was going through and I want to share my thoughts on each movie...

Zero Dark Thirty review: Jessica Chastain shines

It's no surprise Chastain's performance earned her an Academy Award nomination

Interpreted from the true-life military memoirs ‘No Easy Day’ by Mark Owen, chronologically detailing the hunt and death of Osama Bin Laden through a female protagonist, non-threatening pale-skinned Maya. Not the kind of hero you’d likely expect to singularly lead a war movie.

When watching Zero Dark Thirty, it is impossible not to feel like you are watching an extended episode of Homeland. Jessica Chastain’s Maya is certainly similar to Claire Danes’ Carrie Mathison, both driven women who have a mission in mind and will not let it go. But Chastain’s character is much more serious.
