1 more sleep until Turbulence Cheltenham Event!

It's been a busy week for me with an assignment I've been doing! I cannot wait to let my hair down tomorrow night at the Preview Screening of the film Turbulence at The Frog and Fiddle in Cheltenham!


I am so excited for it! Hopefully there'll be loads of people all dressed up and having a laugh!
This is my outfit! It'll just be less piratey and more ROCKSTAR! =D
I love re-using costumes I've already got and these wet look leggings and the jacket would be great to use for tomorrow night! Shame I don't have those massive boots though!

I really can't wait for tomorrow and think the atmosphere is going to be great - way better (and cheaper) than the cinema! Might even go out afterwards...!

So here are all the details if you want to come along!

10 Days Until Turbulence Comes To Cheltenham!

So it's until 10 days until the Preview Screening of Turbulence in the Frog and Fiddle in Cheltenham!
We've been busy putting the word out around Cheltenham by putting leaflets in the Parabola Arts Centre and the Town Hall! We've also put up the awesome posters around our uni! Hopefully this will make lots of people come along and have a great time. One of the posters is in the uni assignment room which should get a lot of views as it's where all the students go to drop off and pick up their assignments! 

I cannot wait! I am really looking forward to dressing up - I have my outfit all planned now and it's going to be 80s rockstar inspired! I wonder what everyone will wear! I'm going to be recycling my pirate outfit and turning it rockstar!
It will be my first Film Party and I'm really looking forward to the fun atmosphere and partying!

Parabola Arts Centre!


Town Hall!

Turbulence Film Event!

I love Twitter! 
I never usually tweet to 'famous' people or people other than my friends, I normally just retweet or ramble! But when I was set an assignment to study the short film Bouncer, I found the director Michael Baig Clifford and tweeted him! I asked him for help with my assignment. He told me I wasn't allowed to cheat which was fair enough! I was very excited to have a reply from a BAFTA award winner! I was even more excited when he tweeted me again asking for me and my friend Stacey to become his Cheltenham Ladies for his new independant film Turbulence!
This meant us finding a venue to show his film! All this was a really good opportunity for us Film Studies students!
We went to a local pub - The Frog and Fiddle as we knew that they were about to do a screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in a special Barn they have. Michael thought it sounded cool so we got the ball rolling!
We have now booked the venue for Friday the 18th of November! The dress code is Wannabe Rockstar which will be very fun! The Preview Screening will be a fun party and I'm really looking forward to it!

Here are some of the Poster photos in the Frog and Fiddle!
If you're in the area please come along!









Tickets are only £5!

Attack The Block, X-Men: First Class, The Wrestler

It's been a while again!
I was on a five hour train the other day with my laptop so what do I do - watch 2 films then listen to an entire Beatles album!



The first film I watched was Attack The Block! I absolutely loved it! I think that you have to be careful with watch you watch on a train as there are people around you, I had headphones but I still don't want anyone to get offended. I thought a comedy about an alien invasion would be fine! Luckily I had a youngish dude sat next to me so I knew it'd be ok!
The only thing was - I kept having to hold in my laughter! I very much enjoyed it! It was hilarious - the characters were great and Nick Frost was hilarious!  I highly recommend this film to anyone who wants a laugh but it does have a great and heart warming end as well! I really can't say much more about it - you just have to see it!



So when that ended I went straight onto X-Men: First Class which was also very very very very good! If you haven't seen it seriously watch it! I loved it all, the casting was great and so was the story and how they introduced the Mutants. James McAvoy was great - he added a bit of Austin Powers to Professor X (In a weird but cool way! Groooovy!) and Michael Fassbender was very very good as young Magneto! Again it's another that I don't want to ruin for those who haven't seen it so just watch it! 


Now the other night we watched The Wrestler. I decided to add it to my LoveFilm because I'd heard it was great and my uncle loves it. I was very happily surprised - I loved the story and how it wasn't all wrestling matches but focused more on the character of Randy. The character was really deep and sad! I think Stacey fell asleep a bit but I loved it! I loved following the character on his highs and lows (mostly lows) and I absolutely loved the end! It is a bit of a tear jerker but it is definitely worth a watch! Mickey Rourke was really good and you completely believe in the character.


And now MisFits has started again and so has Tool Academy! So I may update about them even though they aren't as good as the above mentioned films! I am also still reading Game Of Thrones! (I've been busy with uni work and a personal project as well so haven't had much reading time!) 


If any of you readers are from Cheltenham - come to this: Preview Of Turbulence Film!
