2019 In A Post

So this is the part where I join in on reflecting upon the past year and look forward to the future. 

Here goes!

2019 WAS.....AMAZING, SPECIAL, ONE OF A KIND, QUITE SOMETHING!

The year started like any other, hopeful and lonely, left wanting more...

Roll onto 13th January where i became boyfriend to Keira!

Man, have we had some amazing times and moments and made amazing memories together. 

We've gone away to New Quay to a wedding in Saltash. Got to known each others families very well.

Laughed ourselves silly all hours of the morning and night. 

Although my writing and social life has taken more of a back burner. 

I have been enjoying the couples life very much. 

Work and stress got to me ever so dangerously and almost cost me my job, lesson learnt! 

Still, i'm at my job of almost 3 years, this is my longest job ever!

Down times have been here at times from overthinking and worries to family being unwell to the loss of loved ones. Been hard at times but we made it!

I've met Mark Williams and Mick Foley! 

NEW year, NEW decade, it brings prosperous times and exciting ones too.

CHANGES ARE COMING! THEY MIGHT BE HAPPENING!

LIFE MAY NEVER BE THE SAME!

LESS NEGATIVE PEOPLE/THINGS! 

MORE HEALTHINESS! 

Strict diet and exercise and overall lifestyle changes to be implemented. 

So yeah thats 2019 in a basic nutshell, I hope you have also had a lovely year too. 

Have a happy new year, see you soon, stay shiny!

Aladdin 2019 - Live action done right? REVIEW

Aladdin the ol Disney classic that takes us to the desert and a time of old where we meet our titular character thieving and running away from the law as he does his best to survive with only his trusted monkey by his side to have his back when he falls down. He meets the beautiful Princess Jasmine but he does not know that until very later. 

Meanwhile in the shadows by the side of the Sultar plots the evil Jafar to overthrow the king, to invade other countries, to get a magical lamp to make all his wishes come true and become all powerful but to gain said lamp he needs a diamond in the rough to enter the Cave Of Wonders. He kidnaps Aladdin and orders him to do his bidding and that in return he will get the princess's love. 

So Aladdin sets forth into the cave gains the lamp but Abu touches forbidden treasure and the place enters meltdown mode and so Aladdin must rub the lamp to get out but doing so unleashes the wonderful highly entertaining charismatic blue Genie who has been stuck inside for thousands of years and now in rubbing the lamp he gets 3 wishes and he and the genie must work together in order to stop the evil Jafar from ruling all the lands. 

Colourful and beautifully designed costumes throughout the film with lovely visuals to boot. Soundtrack is great as you can expect and all cast deliver they're best and puts new spins on the old and we even get a new song "speechless" which is amazing and so powerful. Jafar's portrayal here is not scary nor intimidating he's just cold, bland and pretty boring. Aladdin could have been a bit more charismatic also. Genie steals the show. Jasmine is brilliant. CGI is iffy.  A good decent live action remake of a Disney classic right here.

Aladdin 

7/10

+Soundtrack
+Visuals
+Colours and costume design
+Genie/Will Smith performance
+Naomi Scott's performance

-Jafar being a rubbish villain

-Some bad CGI

-Aladdin needing more charisma, you know it's bad when the main character of the film is second in the cast billing.
