This week's Thursday Movie Picks is Diary/Journal
---
****So I've noticed there is a mistake in the final schedule. I had listed on April 1st - Diary/Journal (which is not a Thursday) and April 7th - Psychic and Mediums. So if you were going just by order of themes and not by date when you looked through the schedule, then you would have done the Diary/Journal theme for today (like me). So I'm just going to keep it simple. If you have done Diary/Journal today, then on April 14th do Psychic and Mediums. If you did Psychic and Mediums today then do Diary/Journal on the April 14th. Combat Sports which was previously for April 14th is now on December 1st, so please refer to the newly edited schedule here. Hopefully no more mistakes. ****
I'm avoiding those that have diary or journal in their title because that is just too easy. Here are the ones I like:
Cruel Intentions (1999)
This is a fun classic 90's teen movie about a couple of spoiled rich teens playing a game of seduction. Sebastian one of the main characters, if you remember, writes a journal and it would later be used to bring the downfall of his stepsister.
I Capture the Castle (2003)
Based on one of my favourite books this is a charming adaptation that I love. The story is told from a journal the main character writes and so in the movie she is often seen scribbling away. The movie like the book closes with the last lines from her journal, though they changed the words a little.
Gone Girl (2014)
The domestic thriller that every other domestic thriller wants to be. Amy, the gone girl, had been writing a diary the contents of which makes her husband look like he had a hand in her disappearance.

I really need to watch Cruel Intentions. I don't think I've ever seen it, but I'm so familiar with it due to pop culture.
ReplyDeleteWow you haven't seen it. It was like so popular in the late 90s and early 2000s.
DeleteNo worries, re your wee slip up.. it's easily done. I hadn't noticed the date mistake, I've added my post on mediums and psychic powers and linked to this post but I am updating my post next week to link to next weeks post. Thanks for this great collab btw! Really enjoying those topics.
ReplyDeleteThanks, always glad to have newer participants.
DeleteI Capture the Castle sounds interesting, I'll need to check that out :-)
ReplyDelete(I was just looking at the list and I think we also have one topic too many listed for November 🙈)
Thanks for spotting. Fixed it now.
DeleteYes, I was confused so I went by the date. Next week diaries. I have seen Gone Girl which is good and she is just so evil. I have yet to see Cruel Intentions and I have not even heard of your second film but it sounds good.
