Slightly Offbeat Romantic Movies

Always late to the party I thought I would share some slightly less obvious romantic film choices in the spirit of all things Valentines... several days after Valentines Day has occurred.

It's fine, some people don't do Valentines Day anyway, perhaps one may be surprised with spontaneous, day of romantic sometime in the future. And when that day comes I will be fully prepare with a list of suitable films to watch.

True Romance - Just your average love story between a comic book store guy and hooker who get married and steal fuck tonnes of cocaine from her pimp and get chased around Hollywood by a lot of cops and gangsters. A very cool film.




Lost In Translation - A faded movie star and a neglected young woman from an unlikely bond when their paths cross in a Tokyo hotel.




A Lot Like Love - OK so I know this has Ashton Kutcher in it and therefore is technically less quirky and cool than the other films in the list, but I just love this movie. Great story about friendship, one that the trailer doesn't do justice. The trailer makes this film look shit in fact! Just trust me on this one. Tale of an unlikely pair who's path keep crossing over seven years.




Silver Linings Playbook - This is just flipping brilliant isn't it. Witty, funny and just lovely. Love sends us all a little crazy, but is the much needed therapy for two trouble neighbours. 




Juno - Always held this film in high esteem. What's more romantic than teenage pregnancy and the American adoption system.




Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - This process is reminding me of films I've not watched in ages and really need to revisit. I'm sure we've all had a relationship we wish we could just erase from our memories.



Be sure to stop by my blog in three weeks time when no doubt I will get round to documenting something about Pancake Day!

So much for taking better care of myself...

 

In the theme of following up on my New Years Resolutions post I thought I would fill you in on my last two weeks of hell. I had the most horrendous allergic reaction to a body lotion resulting in having to take a course of steroids for the next month.

This Girl Can Climb

In the sprit of my new years resolutions and the nations current obsession with the 'This Girl Can' campaign I thought I would share my favourite sporting activity, rock climbing.

New Year. New Me.

New Year, New Me. That old cliché, I say it ironically... honest. But joking apart the new year is a good excuse to have a bit of an over haul and refocus on ones self. We're half way through January so I thought it was about time I made some New Years Resolutions.

Top Tracks of 2014

I found this picture somewhere on the internet.

Clearly my enthusiasm for blogging has wavered once again! That said, this post has been weeks in the making and my pure slothenliness means that on the 6th January I'm only just getting around to posting it.

Surviving Party Season - Fake It 'til You Make It

A week into December and party season is well and truly upon us. Christmas is a great excuse to catch up with that friend you've not seen for yonks and go out for a few too many bottles of Prosecco, not to mention all the prearranged Christmas parties, and well just sitting in with the heating on full blast chugging down on gallons of red wine and scoffing on blue cheese. All the excessive booze consumption and late nights can make working 9 to 5 a painful chore.
