Going to see my boyfriend last week I decided to take along my Lord of the Rings DVDs to complete his Middle Earth education. He'd already been put through nearly 5 hours of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, so it only seemed right we ended things right there and them with The Return of the King.

  It all seemed to be going well at first. In the beginning he sat there with this patient look on his face that let me know he was finding it a bit boring, but as it went on and got to the siege of Minas Tirith and King Theoden's army riding to the rescue of Gondor (oh come on, don't start with the whole"spoilers" thing. How could you not have already watched this), it was evident he was getting more and more into it, because you know, that was the aim.

  However, when his flatmate walked into the room just over halfway through, he clearly forgot I was right there and let slip he'd found the first 2 boring and even with this one he only liked it. Yeah, that's right, "LIKED". Not "loved". Just "liked". If looks could kill the one that I shot him would have had him dying a long drawn out painful death. And to add insult to injury, I only went and left my DVDs at his flat SO NOW I HAVE NO TWO TOWERS DVD TO WATCH AND I'M GOING TO CRY DIE!

The Lion King (SPOILERS*)

*Obviously most people have seen this, but for those of you that havn't and want to, look away now and go do it.

Anybody who knows me well knows that The Lion King is by far my favourite childhood film, and to this day probably my favourite film of all time, so it will be no surprise to those people to hear this was my movie of choice to watch on a Friday night holed up in my room with my trusty Nutella while hearing people around me hitting the clubs. If there are some reading this who have never watched it, what have you been doing with your lives, go watch it right now... but finish reading this first. What I love about this movie is not only is so cute and unbelievably adorable, but I can watch it over and over again and I will never get bored of it. Each time I watch it tissues must be to hand as I always cry when Mufasa dies and I cry even more at the end when it's all happy and sunshiney. And when my friends tell me I'm crazy for loving a Disney movie this much, I smugly point out to them that The Lion King is actually based on Shakespeare's Hamlet, which shuts them up immediately. Now, if you'll excuse me I have Lion King 2 and 3 to go watch now, they may not be as good but I bought the special edition Lion King box set (£10 in HMV), so I may as well go and treat myself.
