Films of the Month - May

I watched fourteen fillms in May which was a decent number especially as I was so busy generally. Here's what I saw:


First of all I watched the remake of Mean Girls. Mean Girls is one of my favourite films of all times so I was intrigued to watch the remake. I didn't realise it was a musical to start off with which I understand happened to a lot of people! I did like it, it's not as good as the original but I did enjoy watching it


I really want to watch ten films with Margot Robbie in before my birthday next year, so I rewatched I Tonya, which I absolutely love. I also really recommend the You're Wrong About podcast talking about Tonya Harding as it's really interesting


Lee and I carried on our Ghostbusters thing by watching the second film. We like it, it's still great, what else can I say?


I watched A Life Less Ordinary just because I like Ewan Macgregor and I've never got around to watching this. It is not one of his better films. I wouldn't bother seeing it again


As I previously wrote, Sam and Jodie and I went to see this filmed version of Nye from the National Theatre, I'm counting it as a film 


Lee and I watched My Cousin Vinny together, it's one of my favourite films and I love it so much. Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei are both amazing and funny


Lee and I watched Terminator 2 one Saturday I think. It's my favourite over the first one. I love it so much, I love T1000 and I love how the original terminator learns ethics


Netflix wanted me to watch Mother of the Bride so I did. It was quite cute. Brooke Shields was good. I wouldn't watch it again, but it passed the time


Netflix also thought I would like to watch In the Land of Saints and Sinners with Liam Neeson. I love films set in Ireland and this is a decent example of the body of work, even if it did feel a bit formulaic in places. It was nice to see Niamh Cusack on the telly!


Lee and I also watched Hot Fuzz which I love - I actually wanted to watch Shaun of the Dead but it wouldn't work properly so we watched this instead. We might watch the third one again


Where the Crawdads Sing turned up on Netflix so I watched it. I haven't read the book and now I don't think I will. I liked the film but probably not enough to read the book. The actors were all good though


Lee and I watched Punk's Not Dead which is a documentary about hardcore punk, primarily in America but with some UK people too. It's really good; we've seen it before but not for ages. I recommend it if you like punk 


I watched Grease one afternoon late in May, because I love it a lot and it had been a while


Finally I watched the Scooby Doo film from 2002, which I've never seen. It's not brilliant at all. Not even Sarah Michelle Gellar could redeem it!
