movie recommendation – that lemon life

Don’t breathe – another movie review

Hola everyone.

Autumn has finally arrived. And that means cinema time. Over and over again. And I couldn’t be happier about it as the program couldn’t be any better right now. One of the recent highlights for sure has to be a movie called “Don’t Breathe” (here’s the trailer).

This is a movie that really keeps you at the edge of your seat. It starts at the first second and goes until the very end, the tension never stops. I was for real shaking, it was thrilling. Actually, the program said that this one is a horror movie, but I’d call it a thriller. Especially because of the story, which is more thrilling than horrifying:

The story starts with a small portrait of the main characters, three teenagers earning by an unusual way, I’d say. Okay, the steal, but hey. And suddenly they discover their next prey, a house owned by an old, also blind man. They think they just found an easy loot, but as soon as they step into the house, the nightmare begins and the world darkens around them.

I know I know, just this short description sounds amazing, but the actual movie is thousand, even million times bigger and better. I never knew what would come next, everything I expected turned out to be completely different and one jumpscare after another made me jump out of my seat and loose my breathe. Whenever there was a gripping scene, I completely stopped breathing and held my breath, just as the characters in the movie did. The whole audience was silent, you could have easily heard a needle drop to the ground. I loved the movie from the first second on and walked out of the cinema with wide eyes and shaking hands. I couldn’t handle what I had just experienced. It was breathtaking, for real.

The story is well made, the camera work is fascinating, the actors are amazing, the jumpscares are thought through and the movie itself couldn’t be any more thrilling. And it’s one of those “horror” movies that just get under your skin but won’t keep you up all night. A true must, seriously.

So, there you go. This is my movie recommendation. If any of you ever get the chance to watch this movie, please go and watch it. And if it’s still playing in your theatre, don’t waste your chance of experiencing that amazing and thrilling trip of a movie.

Oh and guys, I want to apologize for not posting anything yesterday. I completely forgot about it and then I went to the cinema – what a surprise – and as soon as I got home, I remembered and nearly freaked out. I hope you’re not too mad at me and still enjoyed this post, even with a short delay. If any of you want to talk about movies or anything else, I’m here. And until then, as always, thanks for reading. x

Kill Your Darlings – movie review

Hola everyone.

Today I’d like to present you another movie I recently watched. And trust me, you’re going to love it just as much as me.

The movie is called Kill Your Darlings and I’d say that it’s a really really special one. It’s about the famous poet Allen Ginsberg and his time in college. The story follows his path through college, while he’s meeting new people and making friends. This is also when he meets Lucien Carr, who shows him the crazy side of life and poetry and together they plan to change the world and break the rules to make it better. But then something really bad happens and everything seems to break apart. Allen is the one who could either solve everything or make it even worse.

Exciting, right? I especially liked the way how the movie works. It’s really artsy and full of aesthetic and poetry an philosophy and dreams, with special people who do all the things others are too afraid for. And also the actors are amazing – Daniel Radcliffe as Allen Ginsberg and Dane DeHaan as Lucien Carr. And I have to say that Dane is really really crushworhty, for real. And it’s crazy that he’s already 30, while still looking all young and hot. And they both are breathtaking and perfect for their roles. And lets say, they work better together than I first thought.

I also loved how the story is based on true events, on a true human being. And the quotes, oh my god the quotes. There is one that I can say has become one of my most favorite quotes ever:

Allen Ginsberg: Some things, once you’ve loved them, become yours forever./And if you try to let them go… They only circle back and return to you. They become part of who you are…

Lucien Carr: …or they destroy you.

How beautiful is that? It makes me want to fall in love and write a sad book about sad love at the same time. So intense and fascinating.

Overall, I really really really enjoyed watching this ,movie and I’m happy that movies like that exist, because they are really special and those you’ll probably never forget. So I can just highly recommend it to all of you guys. Oh, and if you’re interested, here’s the trailer. If any of you want to talk about the movie or anything else, I’m here. And until then, enjoy the movie and I hope you enjoyed this post. Oh, and as always, thanks for reading. x

Tea, music and other things

Hola everyone.

It’s raining. And it has been raining for three days. Other than stopping me from going for walk, this is literally the perfect weather for watching movies, cuddling on the couch, drinking tea and listening to some nice music. And for a chat. And that’s what I want to do today, to have a nice little chat with you guys. So grab a hot cup of tea – I went for a good old Chai, listen to some beautiful music – I chose Ed Sheeran – and just enjoy the moment and chat a little, if you want to.

Sooo, what should I tell you… Movie-wise… A few days ago I watched the new horror movie Lights Out and it was fantastic. As you know, I’m a sucker for good and most importantly scary movies and this one is super scary, for real. Apart from that, I really like the idea of the movie. I mean, I already wrote an article about it for my university, so I know that this was actually a short film by David. F. Sandberg, which got so popular that the genius James Wan took notice of it and decided to work with David and turn it into a long movie. With a story so simple that it’s close to being funny. Actually, the movie plays with this one basic fear we all have – the fear of the dark. And I can tell you, I slept with my lights on this night. So if any of you guys wants to go for a exciting, scary evening, this movie is the one for you.

Music-wise I’m currently listening to all of the bands I’m looking forward to see next weekend. And oh my god, I’m so damn excited for Reading, I can’t even tell you. Fall Out Boy, Twenty One Pilots, Nothing But Thieves, Two Door Cinema Club, The 1975 and on on on. I could talk about it forever. And Brighton, omg. I can’t wait to finally see Brighton. I’m praying that I’ll see some YouTubers, as they strangely all live there or have family or friends there. I’d love to see Pewds, seriously. I’ll be happy if I see him, that’s all I’m wishing for. But of course, the more the better. And I don’t even need a pic or so, just seeing him would be so awesome.

Oh and besides that, today I actually actively listened to Ed Sheeran again since like months or so. And god, did I miss him. That’s why I’m currently letting his beautiful voice slip into my ear and the magical lyrics into my head. Once I start, I can’t get enough of his songs. And I’m really excited for his comeback, I do really miss him. A week ago I saw a pic on tumblr which said: “The reason 2016 is so bad is because Ed Sheeran disappeared.” And this is soooo true (and funny and kinda sad). So yeah, love him.

Oh and I recently watched a Connor Franta video. I know you’re probably gonna think I’m crazy for that, but I’ve never been quite a fan of him, mostly because I just didn’t watch his videos. But his latest one, the one where he just talks and paints his nails (what else?) really got me. He’s such a fascinating person, so aesthetic and full of life and inspiration. And to be honest, I’d loooooove to have him as my best friend, for real. That would be soooo cool. Oh and I highly recommend watching that video (link: youtube.com).

And I know, you probably expect from me to talk about the new show everyone is currently crazy about – Stranger Things. And no, I’m not going to do that because I plainly can’t because apparently I’m this one poor soul who doesn’t have a Netflix account and therefore can’t watch it. Buuuut this doesn’t stop me from watching TV, of course (duh). At the moment I’m binge watching New Girl and I love it so much. To be honest, I’ve probably seen every episode two or three times already but this doesn’t change anything, the jokes will always crack me up. How I wish I could live in that apartment, together with this crazy people. It would be so much fun. I hope I’ll once get the chance to live with people like them, just for the fun and adventure.

So yeah, that’s it for my part. I have to say, I really like this kind of posts, seriously. It’s so relaxing to just chat to you guys about anything and everything. I really really like it. And I hope you do too. I’d love to read any of your comments, you can hit me up anytime and talk to me about whatever you want. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x

My favorite Disney movies

Hola everyone.

I don’t know why, but today I’m in some kind of Disney mood, so I thought why not talk about my favorite movies. And I know, there are a lot of movies out there and to be honest, they are all amazing. The weird thing is, I have to cry every single time I watch a Disney movie. They are just too cute and superemotional. And they make me happy. And yes, I’m 20 years old and I still go to the cinema and watch Disney movies sitting in a room full of young kiddos and their parents. And I regret nothing. Because whatever people tell you, you are never ever ever too old to watch a Disney movie. Never.

So, enough said. Let’s take a look at my favorite movies. Enjoy.

Bambi
- I can’t even tell you how sad and cute this movie is at the same time. And it’s about animals, which makes it so much cuter. Can you believe this movie was made in 1942? That’s crazyyyy. And so damn amazing.

Sleeping Beauty
- To be honest, Aurora is my favorite Disney princess. I fell in love with how she found her prince and I just wanted to be like her. And she’s just too gorgeous. And seriously, having three fairy godmothers is just too cool.

The Aristocats
- This story is just too cute. And I love the three kittens. Actually, I want to name one of my future cats Toulouse (the name is so damn cute). And I just really like the whole movie, besides the two geese, they are pretty annoying.

The Lion King
- Let’s be honet, who doesn’t like that movie? I still remember when I was younger, mum had this friend who would visit us everyday and watch this movie with me. And this one is actually the first movie I ever watched in the cinema, so it has a special place in my heart. Besides that, the scene when Mufasa died breaks my heart every time and then the cute love story and the super amazing soundtrack heals it again.

The Emperor’s New Groove
- This is seriously one of the funniest and weirdest Disney movies ever made. I mean, it’s about a king who becomes a lama. That is strange enough. And it has so much sarcasm in it and I just love it.

Every single Pirates of the Caribbean movie
- Can you believe that this is a Disney movie? Because I can’t. I just love every single of them. Johnny Depp is breathtaking and super weird. Orlando Bloom is super hot. And Keira Knightley is super cool. It’s just an amazing movie series.

Wall-E
- This the one movie that I watched together with my grandpa. He died after this and every time I watch this movie, it reminds me of him. So it’s really emotional for me. And besides that, the movie is super emotional on its own and super cute. I love it.

Tangled
- I always loved Rapunzel, but this movie is just so cool. And she’s such a strong character and that mess everything so interesting and exciting. I remember that I told my parents I wanted to watch this movie with them And the were like come on, we are adults. And at the end, they loved it and my mum even cried. So yeah, like I said, you’re never too old to watch a Disney movie.

Brave
- I watched this movie one evening alone and I swear, I cried my eyes out. I have a really strong relationship with my mum and this movie is all about that and it just made me so emotional. If you ever have the chance, please watch this movie. Preferably together with your mum.

Big Hero 6
- All I can say is that I really really really want to have my own Baymax. He looks like a huge, super fluffy marshmallow and I can’t resist that. And he’s also just too cute. I really love that movie.

Tomorrowland
- I know, this is another real-life-movie and it’s such a cool movie. I love this kind of sci-fi movies and I just really enjoyed watching it. It makes you dream about the craziest and cooles things and I love that.

Inside Out
- This storyline is just so cool, I can’t believe it. How can somebody come up with that? And it’s also so accurate, it’s fascinating. This one is really a must for everyone who likes Disney.

Soooo, there you go. These are my favorite Disney movies. I can already tell you that I forgot one or two, but hey, overall those are the most important ones. If any of you like the same movies as me or want to chat, I’m here. And until then, as always, I hope you enjoyed this post and thanks for reading. x

Cinema favorites

Hola everyone.

So, I have this special habit of checking the website of my local cinema, to see if they updated it and added some cool new movies they will be screening.

The thing is, sometimes, when I have the time, I go on youtube and literally watch every single new movie trailer that looks interesting to me. So I know every movie before they even appear on the cinema website, which means I wait until they put those movies up that I want to see. Sometimes I’m lucky and they do it. Sometimes I’m not and the movie is too “special” to play in a local cinema, although it literally the biggest cinema in the whole federal state. But whatever.

Anywayyyy, as I’m so into movies and trailers and all the crazy amazing movies that are just waiting to be screened this year, I thought why not present you those movies I’m mostly looking forward to. Those movies I literally can’t wait to watch. My favorites of 2016. Enjoy.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

(it plays in the fantastic Harry Potter world, which is basically my childhood, so yeah, please hurry up movie)

Hello My Name is Doris

(oh god, this is literally the perfect mother-daughter movie)

(another really scary looking horror movie with an original story and idea)

Kill Your Friends

(that’s one of those movies you watch the trailer of, think “what the hell was that???” and then just HAVE to see the movie)

There you, those are my upcoming favorites of 2016, so I’m REALLY looking forward to these movies. Unfortunately, I have the feeling that most of the movies won’t be played in the local cinema, but I can still look out for the in the city, so we’ll see. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this post and found some movies you are interested it. If any of you want to talk about movies or anything else, I’m here, and until then, as always, thanks for reading x

#TeamIronMan

Hola everyone.

The wait is over. FINALLY. I hope some of you guys already know what I’m talking about looking at the title of this post, but I will tell you all anyway.

The new Captain America movie has finally been released and as the HUGE Marvel fan I am, I already went out to see it as soon as I could. And oh my god, let me tell you, that movie is literally so damn amazing, that I have no words.

First of all, I think I should explain my love for Marvel. It all started with Iron Man, that’s why I am and always will be Team Iron Man, forever and always. So, he is literally the reason I got into this whole Marvel Cinematic Universe thing and got pretty much obsessed with it. Completely. I have literally seen every single movie since Iron Man came out (except Ant-Man, but I will see that one in two weeks, so don’t judge). And I just fell in love with the movies more and more and more and more. I couldn’t get enough and I can’t either now. I think I never will.

Anyway, that’s the reason I was looking forward to seeing Captain America: Civil War since I got out of the cinema after watching The Avengers 2. And I can tell you, that’s a looooong time for a Marvel fangirl like me. So I just waited. And time passed and the release day came. And I went crazy. Completely.

I think I have never been THAT excited for a movie before. It was like I was waiting for a concert to start. I just wanted to get into that seat and start the movie. I think I also felt like this because of the story:

Soooo, the movie starts right after the incidents of The Avengers 2, with the whole Sokovia and Ultron thing. You can probably tell that a lot of people were killed or hurt in that battle and the government can’t let that happen another time. They want to monitor and in some way control our beloved heroes. And that’s when the team breaks apart. On the one side we have Captain America with his supporters, who state that they can’t just look away when something bad happens until the government allows them to do something about it. On the other side we have my fave Iron Man with his team, who understand what the government wants and also want to prevent any actions by the Avengers that could hurt any more people. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like they can find a way to get together, so the epic battle begins and noone really knows who is going to win.

Seriously, how cool is that? When I first saw the trailer, I was speechless (oh, here’s the link if you haven’t seen it: youtube.com). Mostly because I was so scared for Tony. I don’t know what I would do if something happens to him. And of course, because of all of the new characters. Black Panther? Ant-Man? SPIDERMAN????? Epiiiiiiic (I know, I’m overly fangirling right now).

So, you can see why I was so excited. But let’s get to the most important part – the movie, of course. IT WAS BREATHTAKING. Like, it’s just a huge emotional rollercoaster. At one moment you seriously can’t handle all the epicness, at another one you feel tears streaming down your face, but then something funny happens and you just have to laugh and then it gets serious again and oh my god, it’s just so exciting and thrilling and amazing. Apart from all the amazing and exciting and supercool action sequences, there’s also a really emotional and totally unexpected story hidden that just makes the movie even better, but I won’t spoil anything, of course. But seriously, if any of you get the slightest chance to watch this movie, please do it, for your own sake. You won’t regret it, I swear (unless you don’t like superheroes or epic movies or haven’t seen any of the movies before, because then you will literally have no idea of what is going on).

I seriously can’t wait for all the other movies Marvel has planned and now that phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has started with this huge epic movie, I’m more than excited for what’s to come. If any of you are as much in love with Marvel as me, I would literally love to talk to you. And please, let me know which team you are – Team Cap or Team Iron Man? I’m really curious. And until then, I can just tell you to please go and watch that movie and hope that you enjoyed this post and getting to know my crazy nerdy fangirl side. And as always, thanks for reading. x #TeamIronMan

Ps: I just bought this little Funko Pop Iron Man figure and I just can’t handle its cuteness. Look how cute. I can’t wait to receive it and put in on my desk.
