I don't review books, tv shows, or films anymore because I hate saying bad things about them, but I still want to share some great finds. So, after a year which has allowed me to consume more art than usual, I have come up with a list of my favourites. Books: I did not read … Continue reading Ivy’s 2020 Recommendations
Streaming Instead of Screaming
In my last post, I mentioned that there were two people in the world whose loss I didn't think I could handle. Now one of them has COVID. Amy was over for my birthday the week before she tested positive, so I had to quarantine and got tested for the fifth time. Negative. The tests … Continue reading Streaming Instead of Screaming
Recent Film Things
I wanted to call this "A Summary of Every Film-Related Thing Happening in My Life in the Last Six Months" because that's a more descriptive and enticing title, but it's a bit long. Similar to the quite-long title of a movie I'm in called "Events Transpiring Before, During, And After A High School Basketball Game" … Continue reading Recent Film Things
What I Wore: A Red Carpet Event
Back in November I attended my first feature film premiere for a film I did back in 2017. The film still isn't out yet, but who cares about that when you can see what I wore on the red carpet instead? So on the day of the premiere, I was helping a couple of friends … Continue reading What I Wore: A Red Carpet Event
An Acting Summary of 2017
There were good times, there were bad times (especially in the USA, stay safe American friends). It was a bit of a crazy year. Personally, it was my year off to pursue my acting dreams, which was a far more successful pursuit than I thought it would be. In a month, it will have been … Continue reading An Acting Summary of 2017
Valerie the Film
Not too long ago I was cast in a film. It was pretty cool. I haven't entirely finished filming my parts but I'm mostly done, and I'm excited to share it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdq9L1v4HdY If you're interested in watching the finished film, click here for the Indiegogo link.
Deadpool
Mild spoilers. Nothing serious. I have been looking forward to this film for a long time (though not as long as Ryan Reynolds has). I love Deadpool. He was my introduction to comic books and he's just awesome. His humour, creativity, mercenary skills, R-rating, general quirkiness, and deep seated self-hatred all come together to create the … Continue reading Deadpool
The Big Short
Disclaimer: The movie I just saw had a lot of swearing in it, so you can rest assured this post will, too. Well I'm scared to shit. I'm twenty-one years old. I still haven't completed my university degree. My subject of study is freakin' Creative Writing. I know fuck-all about Wall Street. So keep that … Continue reading The Big Short
Bridge of Spies
No Spoilers! Ah, look. WordPress has just wished me a Happy Anniversary because I signed up with them one year ago. My counter is showing 1 hour to go before it's been a year to the day this blog first went up. When I post this it'll probably be up. But I'll talk more about … Continue reading Bridge of Spies
Crimson Peak
No spoilers until halfway. I'll let you know. Crimson Peak, directed by Guillermo del Toro, is freaky yet predictable–but you don't mind at all watching it. Usually a predictable film will put me off, no matter how great everything else is. This wasn't the best film I'd ever seen and it's not going to get … Continue reading Crimson Peak
