So, my blog is currently experiencing a renaissance and I have deleted all my old posts in the doing so - as they were predominantly trivial and uninteresting. Now I have more time on my hands as exams are coming to a close, I have compiled a list of all the films and books I've been longing to watch or read over the two years I've dedicated to GCSEs, and have not found the time to allocate to. THUS, my summer challenge begins.
So far I've watched 7 films in the short space of 5 days, and am only halfway through Atonement (a book I attempted to read aged eleven after seeing the film) and am enjoying it and have to admit that tears have already been shed.
The film I literally just finished watching on Netflix was Capote, a film for which I've read the blurb countless amounts of times and have never dedicated myself to watch it. So I sat down this evening and pushed on (although I should be revising for my maths exam tomorrow...) and I'm glad I did! The film was great and I think this was the best performance Phillip Seymour Hoffman has given, although he was brilliant in The Master. After watching the film, I've added In Cold Blood to my ever-growing reading list and hope to get through it soon.
