★★★★★     ★★★★☆    ★★★☆☆    ★★★★☆

• Downton Abbey [28/09] – 4.5 ⭐ – Everything about this movie was beautiful and I loved it.
• Scooby-Doo (2002) [29/09] – 4 ⭐ – Watching this was so early 2000 but it honestly felt like coming home and I loved it.
• Scooby-Doo & The Loch Ness Monster [29/09] – 3 ⭐ – Wow, never meet your idols and never re-watch your favourite childhood movies.
• Wonder Woman [30/09] – 4 ⭐ –  I can recognise that this is very good, and very well shot, but I still don’t love it.

      

• The Matrix [01/10] – 4.5 ⭐ – Perfection. 👌👌👌
• The Proposal [03/10] – 4 ⭐ – 10/10 😍😍😍
• Suicide Squad [03/10] -2.5 ⭐ – It’s Trash O’Clock y’all #welcometotheshitshow
• Joker [04/10] – 4 ⭐ – I legit had the Kath & Kim theme song stuck in my head after this. Also, PLEASE look up trigger warnings before seeing this, because there is not a moment of peace or happiness in this entire film.
• Spider-Man: Homecoming [05/10] – 3.5 ⭐ – I loved this when I first saw it and I still think it’s a fantastic Spidey movie but there is something about it that makes me never want to watch it. I don’t know if it’s the MCU-ness of it all or my general hatred of Ned, but I rarely watch this even though I think Tom Holland is a fantastic Spider-Man.
• Downton Abbey Season 1 [05/10] – 4 ⭐ – This was actually so good? I’m super excited to get into this show!
• Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse [06/10] – 4 ⭐ – SO GOOD! 😍

      

• Avalon High [15/10] – 2.5 ⭐ – Lol back when Gregg Sulky was a heartthrob 😂
• Shrek 2 [15/10] – 4.5 ⭐ – When Fairy Godmother sang I Need A Hero I felt that.
• Nancy Drew & The Hidden Staircase [15/10] – 2 ⭐ – I think this’ll be fun for young kids looking for a fun mystery (along the lines of scooby-doo kid of fun) but if you’re older than 7 you shouldn’t bother bc it’s NOT good.
• Kath & Kimderella [15/10] – 2.5 ⭐ – I honestly can’t believe this got green lit but I’m so glad it did. 😂😂 This was a shitshow from start to finish and I loved it.
• Pokémon Detective Pikachu [18/10] –  3.5 ⭐ – I am consistently shocked by how much I actually enjoy this movie, as someone who doesn’t care about Pokémon.
• Star Wars: A New Hope [26/10] – 4 ⭐ – Ngl Vader was pretty chill in this one.
• Hustlers [27/10] – 3.5 ⭐ – I’m not gonna lie, this was A LOT of fun! But, I don’t think I’ll ever watch it again.

    

• John Mulaney: The Comeback Kid [27/10] – 4 ⭐ – SO funny! I had this on the tv in the background while I was working on something else and now I think I have my entire family hooked on Mulaney.
• Kath & Kimderella [27/10] – 3 ⭐ – I genuinely can’t believe I watched this AGAIN
• Eclipse [27/10] – 3 ⭐ – The ring. It’s so ugly!
• Breaking Dawn Part 1 [28/10] – 3 ⭐ – Seth Clearwater was the only good thing about this film and that’s a fact.
• Red Nose Day And A Wedding [29/10] – 4 ⭐ – i would die for alicia vikander & lily james and that’s the truth

      

• Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Season 1 [07 – 10/11] – 4 ⭐ – This show is a national treasure and that’s the truth.

• Jurassic Park [13/11] – 4.5 ⭐ – SO MANY DINOSAURS 😍😍😍
• The Sinner Season 1 & 2 [14/11] – 3.5 ⭐ – This was actually so good!
• Arrow Season 3 [15 – 16/11] – 2.5 ⭐ – Yeah, listen, there’s a reason I don’t watch this show anymore
• Godzilla [16/11] – 3.5 ⭐ – Narratively this movie started off completely different to what I was expecting and then it changed tone and pace as soon as *spoilers* Cranston died. That being said, I really surprised myself with this one because I actually enjoyed it. It’s not a cinematic masterpiece and I won’t be re-watching it in the very near future, but I will definitely be continuing on with the rest of the movies in this franchise.

      

• Kong: Skull Island [17/11] – 3 ⭐ – This was surprisingly good ngl.
• Godzilla: King of Monsters [18/11] – 3 ⭐ – Everything about this movie was so blue. Also, this was not good. That being said, I’m stuck on this series now so you’ll catch me at the cinema in 2020 watching my 2 babies being pitted against each other because of capitalism.
• The Knight Before Christmas [22/11] – 3.5 ⭐ – Honestly I enjoyed this and I will definitely watch it again soon
• Last Christmas [24/11] – 3.5 ⭐ – It definitely wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.
• Magic Mike [24/11] – 3 ⭐ – Yeah, this was not the movie for me.

• Frozen [27/11] – 4 ⭐ – Listen, I know this is for kids but it’s fun so let me like what I like.
• The Knight Before Christmas [28/11] – 3.5 ⭐ -upon watching this a 2nd time i have many *many* questions
• Frozen II [30/11] – 4 ⭐ – Confirmed: Elsa is a water bender

 

• Wall-E [01/12] – 3.5 ⭐ – This was the strangest love story I’ve ever seen! Also, I get the feeling this was made more for an older audience and that explains why I never liked this as a kid and am only giving it a second try now, over 10 years later.
• Frozen II [03/12] – 3.5 ⭐ – I would argue that aspects of this movie aren’t as good the second time around, but I do think I’m really warming to the soundtrack and I’m now very excited for Frozen 3 which will inevitably happen in the future.
• A New Hope [09/12] – 4 ⭐ – A classic.
• The Game Plan [12/12] – 2.5 ⭐ – The Rock with hair is legitimately terrifying.
• The Nightmare Before Christmas [12/12] – 2.5 ⭐ – Thanks, I hate it.
• Frozen Fever [12/12] – 3 ⭐ – This wasn’t amazing but all of those little snow baby things made me very very happy.
• Olaf’s Frozen Adventure [12/12] – 3.5 ⭐ – I won’t lie, I had a lot of fun watching this.

• Charlie’s Angels [13/12] – 3 ⭐ – This felt like a badly written Hot Topic movie someone shot with a really low budget and I don’t understand why Elizabeth Banks did this to herself.
• National Treasure [14/12] – 4 ⭐ – This felt like a badly written Hot Topic movie someone shot with a really low budget and I don’t understand why Elizabeth Banks did this to herself.
• National Treasure 2 [14/12] – 3.5 ⭐ – It’s not as good as the first one but it still holds that same feeling as the first movie does.
• Kronk’s New Groove [14/12] – 2.5 ⭐ – I know some people love this movie but it wasn’t for me.
• Knives Out [15/12] – 4.5 ⭐ – This might actually be my favourite movie of 2019???
• Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker [19/12] – 3 ⭐ – I mean, what is there to say? This was mediocre at best.
• Austenland [19/12] – 4 ⭐ – There’s no way I couldn’t enjoy this movie. It’s hilarious!

• A New Hope [20/12] – 3 ⭐ – This was such a slow action movie wow.
• The Empire Strikes Back [20/12] – 4 ⭐ – Not my favourite but definitely better than the first and I can see why so many people love it. Ngl, Han was a total creep for most of this movie so he better have a total 180 in character personality for me to like him.
• Return of The Jedi [20/12] – 4 ⭐ – Luke is so fucking cocky in this movie and I loved it. I would’ve loved to actually see him go from a novice to a full-on Jedi though.
• Sanditon Season 1 [23/12] – 3.5 ⭐ – This was actually pretty good, so I really hope there’ll be a season 2. Y’all in the US better watch it!
• Same Time, Next Christmas [24/12] – 3 ⭐ – Holy time jumps, Batman!
• A Princess For Christmas [24/12] – 3 ⭐ – Oh good Lord, how did I make it through this whole movie? (the answer is Katie McGrath)
• A Christmas Princess [24/12] – 2 ⭐ – I can’t believe they cast an Aussie as a dude from a “foreign European country” and they let him keep the accent??? I hate myself for finishing this movie.

• Klaus [25/12] – 3.5 ⭐ – This was actually really interesting and I loved the animation style so I would definitely watch something like this again!
• A Christmas Prince [25/12] -I mean, big yikes but it also wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.
• A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding [25/12] – I have so many regrets
• A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby [25/12] – A queen with a blog… I’m struggling y’all.
• Noelle [26/12] – You know this was pretty generic but I would actually watch a sequel
• The Force Awakens [26/12] – 3 ⭐ – Dialogue who?
• My Perfect Romance [26/12] – 1.5 ⭐ – Curse me for watching this awful movie

• The Princess Bride [26/12] – I will never get tired of this story.
• Lost in Austen [30/12] – 2.5 ⭐ – This was the most cringey and embarrassing adaptation of P&P I’ve ever seen and I think I’ve been scarred for life because of this.

• Lois & Clark Season 2 [11/11 – ??] – This is exactly the shit that I love and I need to finish season 2 asap
• High School Musical: The Musical: The Series [18/12/19 – ??] – Honestly, I’m starting to not enjoy this as much but I’m already in too deep so I’ll finish the season out.
