'Trust No B!tch' - Orange is the New Black Season 3

Hello my lovelies,

Well where do I start?! After keeping us waiting for so long Netflix finally released season 3 of Orange is the New Black and in my opinion they did not disappoint and it was worth the wait. But after finishing the 13 episode long season its time to start waiting again until 2016 for the next season.

I feel like so much happened and it went by so fast, almost too fast. I wish there was more episodes in the season but I was pleased with how they continued the storyline. I still don't have a favourite character but with the introduction of Stella (Ruby Rose) to the end of season 3 I can see her becoming a potential favourite. There is something about her that just makes season 3 even better than expected. Ruby Rose is an incredible person and her acting as Stella is brilliant. The smart, tattooed, Australian girl that just seemed to appear out of nowhere and become a new love interest for Piper. Everyone I know that has finished the season has been obsessing over Ruby Rose so its simple to say that the creator Jenji Kohan is on a roll with the casting. She makes waiting for season 4 worth it to be able to see if her character will appear again.

Piper has definitely come out of her shell more and more, and it would seem she is trying to be some sort of gang leader, but personally I don't think being that kind of person is really Piper. I don't see her as being the tough person she tries to be. I see her as using this as her way to fit in and make sure people don't give her trouble whilst in Litchfield. I do like the character though, I just feel that at times it can seem a bit much for her, although Taylor Schilling plays it well.

With season 4 set to be out in 2016 I have high hopes but most of all I can't wait to see what is to become of what can be said to be almost a love/hate triangle between Piper, Alex and Stella. I hope Litchfield improves and that the company that have taken over as running the prison starts realising what they really need to happen there.

Time to start counting down for the new trailer again, and keep re-watching old episodes to keep us going in the mean time.

So until next time my lovelies, thanks for reading :) x  

'We're Back Pitches!'

Hello my lovelies,

Yes I know this film has been out for a while now but moving back home from university and applying for jobs in the big wide world has kept me busy. My friends and I actually went to see Pitch Perfect 2 on its release day here in the UK and can easily say we loved it.

Watching the first film would definitely help to follow the story throughout the second film, however I wouldn't say that its a must before seeing Pitch Perfect 2 as its an easy plot to pick up on. The first film allows you to meet the characters for the first time and gets you hooked.

The film is based on an all girl a cappella group called the Barden Bellas taking on others in competitions to be the world champions. After becoming the national champions in the first film, they prepare for the championships but its a bit of a tough ride getting that far.

Following Pitch Perfect 1 the acting is still brilliant, and the addition of new girl freshman Emily Junk (Hailee Steinfeld) works well with the rest of the group and allows events at the end of the film to suggest there could even be a third film to come.

 

As it is a film based on musical groups, the song choices for the soundtrack work really well together, and are all very catchy. I have definitely caught myself singing the songs to myself on more than one occasion with one favourite being Flashlight by Jessie J. We are introduced to more a cappella groups such as Das Sound Machine (DSM), Team Canada (played by Pentatonix), Green Bay Packers, and of course the Treble Makers are still there.

The comedy element of Pitch Perfect is still there in the second film, and Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson) is still a definite favourite for hilarious scenes although they each have their own quirks and moments that make the audience laugh out loud.

It can easily be said that both of the Pitch Perfect films are feel good films, you can't watch without laughing and resisting the urge to sing along. They're great for watching alone or with a group of friends for a night in. I would definitely recommend this to those that like comedy films, even though it can be seen as a little bit of a girly film I would still suggest it to guys I think might like it too. Definitely worth a watch!

Until next time, thanks for reading :) x
