When Harry Met Sally (film review)

Film: When Harry Met Sally
Year: 1989
Genre: Comedy, drama, romance
Starring: Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan, Carrie Fisher
About: Harry and Sally have known each other for years, and are very good friends, but they fear sex would ruin the friendship.

My Review:
Having never seen When Harry Met Sally before even though it is one of the most popular rom-com movies around I decided I would check it out and finally see if it is as good as everyone was making it out to be.

The film is about two people named Harry and Sally who end up going to New York together and then go their separate ways, however after many years they run into each other and start to become friends. As they do and both see start seeing other people they realise that they both love each other but refuse to tell each other.

I thought this film was good in the way that it had between scenes old couples saying how they had found their love at first sight and sharing their stories, this is something that I found rather adorable. I also thought it was very fitting with the film as it goes alongside how Harry and Sally feel about each other. I also liked the way that it showed how Harry and Sally were not ready for each other romantically for a long time showing that sometimes it takes a bit longer to be with the one you are meant to be with however it will happen if it is meant to.

I would recommend this  movie to those who like romance films and want something which seems a lot more real than a lot of romance films you are able to see. This is a film which has aged well and deserves to still be very well known.

My Rating: 4/5

The Current War (film review)

Film: The Current War Year: 2017 Genre: Biography, Drama, History Directed By: Alfonso Gomez-Rejon Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Oliver Powell, Katherine Waterston About:  The dramatic story of the cutthroat race between electricity titans Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse to determine whose electrical system would power the modern world Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kue18AxK1tU My Review: Having wanted to see The Current War since it was in the cinema after seeing how it had an incredible cast of actors in which I already like I knew I had to see it once it came onto DVD. Not only this but not knowing much about the electricity feud this was a subject in which I found myself really interested in which made me enjoy this film a lot more than I had expected. I thought that it was good how it showed the rivalry between both Edison and Westinghouse and how Edison was willing to tarnish his name in order to get ahead and even go against his own beli...

Sahara (film review) *contains spoilers*

Film: Sahara Year: 2017 Genre: Animation, Adventure, Comedy Directed By: Pierre Core Starring: Omar Sy, Louane Emera, Franck Gastambide About:  A young cobra and his scorpion best friend go on a journey across the Sahara desert to save a new-found love Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3IRkT9JsqM My Review: Having a movie day I came across Sahara when on Netflix and having no expectations about this film and also not knowing what it was about I thought that it would be the perfect film to blog about. I did think that this was a cute adventure movie but would be better suited to a younger audience than myself. I found that this film was really sweet that the snake wanted to go across the desert in order to find a snake in which he found he felt a connection with even though they were different kinds and also from different worlds. I also thought by having the girls brother being a drug addict and struggling with wanting more drugs and wanting to leave his...

Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4F3Sn-Xzzo My Review: Wanting a style of film I don't usually watch but do enjoy I decided to watch the stalker movie that is My Teacher, My Obsession  which is based on an English teacher who starts at a new school. However, when one of the students gets obsessed with him she will do anything to be with him including secluding him from everyone else.
