For the pansies: ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’
Now I know I’m a little behind on this, but this film really is a must see. All about a troubled freshman named ‘Charlie’ who has just joined an American High School, this tale follows a group of introverts who come together through their oddities and embrace the new schoolboy into their friendship group.
This film is perfect for anyone interested in the 80s scene, with plenty of music references, including Bowie and Dexy’s Midnight Runners.
What I personally love about this film, is the twist it withholds until the very end which I found both unpredictable and original, something which appears hard to convey these days.
Filled with laughter, good music, men dressed in suspenders and a heart-breaking narration, ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ will keep you glued to your seat until the credits. Brilliant actors, brilliant storyline, brilliant film.
For the people who enjoy a good horror film at Halloween: ‘Alien’
Why is Alien the classic horror you need to watch this Halloween? Well for starters if you have not seen a Ridley Scott film you are in for a treat, as this classic is not one to be missed. The film stars Sigourney Weaver as the titular character of Ripley who embarks on a journey (along with other crew members) to help a nearby planet after they send out a help. signal to the Nostramus (groups ship) them to help. This film is one you must watch for so many reasons.
They become embroiled in a story which pits them against new creatures that they never thought existed, which is what makes this film so enjoyable. This classic horror is a must see for anyone, especially with Halloween fast approaching. So why not kick back, relax and watch Alien this half term.
