@GirlontheProwl here, after a summer of relentless fun, these past couple of weeks of being back at uni (short for University) have been what I’d like to describe as insufferable. Now while I have many words to describe my kinship with this institution of learning—tiresome, back-aching, spirit-breaking, tear-inducing—I decided I was due for a much-needed break. However, like every university student out there, when I say break I really mean a long period of procrastination because let’s face it, there is no such thing as having a break at uni. So I decided what better way to take my “break” than by re-watching one of my favourite movies—Beautiful Creatures. Continue reading
Movie Reviews
Puncture
@GirlontheProwl here, I watch a lot of movies and I have to tell you I’m not always compelled to write a review about it. In the last couple of weeks I have watched maybe more than half a dozen movies and for the purpose of this blog I will most likely write a review for all of them—whether I’ve liked them or not. The problem is, I find it incredibly hard to write about things I don’t find genuinely interesting. Incidentally, on this unusually cool night in August I happened to come across an old, yet relatively new Chris Evans movie that screamed at me to just sit down and get this out—‘Puncture’. The movie debuted in 2011, but wasn’t as publicly known as Evans’ other, more widely received movie, ‘Captain America’. Perhaps it was the content, or the political nature of the film, but it didn’t sit in the box office for long, which is why I am taking the time to introduce this movie to those who have not seen it. And for those who have…I would like to relish in what I deem to be a purely and alarmingly informative film. Continue reading
Affluenza
@GirlontheProwl here, just recently watched Affluenza and while Rotten Tomatoes may 
have only given it a score of 14%, I think it deserves and is worth so much more. The movie follows a group of individuals who are “filthy rich” and “morally bankrupt”. And while I may have borrowed those phrases straight from the movie, the portrayal of perfection in this film allows viewers to realize the enormity of false realities. The protagonist, thrown into a world of sex, drugs, and money, introduces us to a realm where even the privileged struggle with the outcomes of everyday social and political stigmas. Through the protagonist, Fisher Miller (Actor Ben Rosenfield), we see that the grass is not always greener on the other side and that money cannot solve all of life’s problems. As clichéd as that may sound, the truth is pretty sobering. Continue reading
