How to get away with murder

Going to have a go at writing my reactions whilst watching it. Here we go:

• Flipping a coin to decide whether or not to bury a body, oh no. Commence dramatic shots of the coin flipping and aghast faces looking up at it as it spins, clearly you would have time to do this haha. Oh making us wait for the result by taking us 3 months earlier, I approve, will be needing some background information. 
• Oooh looking up at the college in awe must be a newbie, he looks excited, point proven.
• Lovely shots following the professor into the classroom, focal shots or items that gives clues to her character, we hear her before we see her, she must be impressionable.
• Oh my she is styled like Martha Jones from Doctor who, 
• These students have obviously done there homework, I too like Wes would be sitting there dumbfounded, and I have a feeling the teacher is going to pick on him next.
• Oh what do you know, I called it.
• She's stalking up the lecture stairs towards him, hide!
• Ohh she bites
• Lol, do law students take a field trip to the witnesses house in the case study regularly?
• The murder weapon oh, nice colour contrasts between past and presents to symbolise the significance of the trophy.
• Brain block I know the feeling (9:40)
• Claw marks on the wall ew creepy
• Now we go back to the past, the body is being rolled up in a carpet bless
• I want to know who is in the carpet!
• Lol ram raiding the body into the wall, poor guy or girl!
• Police man shows, I get the feeling they wont get caught anyway. (12:00)
• I hope the police aren't this thick in real life
• All eyes on you Mr Gibbins (14.34)
• The lecturer telling them to bury the evidence, but in this case this will be in the minds of those in the future when they literally have to bury the evidence.
• Nice thinking Miss Pratt
• WHY WOULD YOU WALK INTO YOUR PROFESSORS HOUSE LIKE THAT...... HOW AWKWARD.
• Singing along to Christmas songs whilst a body is in the back seat, casual .
• Nice to see a casual gay character, blending in, nothing out there.
• These students are at the right place at the right time haha
• Professor is cheating tut tut
• This smiley face plastic bag is getting attention, maybe someone will find it late on.
• Emotional manipulation, she knows what she's doing.
• Or was it hmm.
• That looks like a bite mark on the headboard, paired with the claw marks, don't turn this in to a vampire werewolf thing.
• Oh he's the one who was doing 'things' with her. (35.22)
• Wes is like wtf is she doing?
• I really like Annalise, such a strong character. 
• AH THEY SHOWED THE FACE, OOH I WONDER WHY HIM?!

How to train your dragon 2

The awaited sequel (to me anyway) of How to train your dragon arrived and it did not disappoint. I know this animation is more inclined to target children, but its too cute not to appeal to older teens such as myself. The return of Toothless and Hiccup was really nice to see, along with the return of all the old characters that had a chance to develop their story lines.

What I liked?

Um Toothless- How could you not like a dragon, who has retractable teeth, who acts like a mega cat and puppy combined, a dragon with an adorable grin, I mean props to the animators/ artists who came up with him in the first place, genius idea to snag kids (and older teenagers, and adults and oaps) to seeing the sequel.

Astrid- Confident character who has been given some nice comedic lines to make her a very likeable character.

Ruffnut- Very funny. Voiced by Kristen Wiig a great match.

Stoick and Valka - So adorable! Their chemistry was so nice and when they sang and danced with each other after 20 years apart, its like they never left each other. And the look on Hiccup's face, seeing his mum and dad reunite was cute.

Stoick- The protective dad who plays and active role in saving his son, shows how brave he is and promotes a positive outlook into what a perfect family relationship is.

Valka's secret dragon community- BECAUSE WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO GO THERE?

The idea of working- Working towards a cause, being proud of a cause and saving a cause, when you find what your'e meant to 'be' and what may be your purpose, or something you feel strongly about, this film portrays Hiccup's determinism as a positive message to adults and kids alike, I certainly appreciate his vocation, I WISH I COULD RIDE AROUND AND SAVE DRAGONS!

Strength in community- Nice to see community bonding, fighting together for a common cause, having fun, looks like somewhere I would want to stay plus... DRAGONS....

The 'banter' between the dragons- Each dragon was treated like a character, different characteristics, different looks, different behaviours etc, funny interactions.

Disability- Something that comes with the first film too. Hiccup has adapted, he has used his lack of leg and turned it into something positive, he and his dragons have lost something, but they do something about it, they don't dwell they look ahead, and its nice to teach kids that a tragedy like this isn't the end, they can move on and be brave like Toothless and Hiccup.

What I didn't like-

Bit cheesy- YES I KNOW ITS A CHILDREN'S FILM SORRY

Astrid- Is used to show the hero the light at the end of the tunnel, to encourage and help him along, and someone to kiss at the end, they could have built her up as something more.

Valka- Considering this place wasn't far away, it's a bit strange that they would not have bumped into each other before, it's been 20 years...

Typical plot- Set-up, conflict, resolution, which is ok, but I suppose I'm just waiting myself for a film to come along and change it up.

With an 8.5 rating on IMDb, and a 9/10 from me, I would say if you liked the first one, your going to like the next one.
