Curly Hair, Been There: Paris Charles de Gaulle

So, if you didn't guess from the title, I'm bored in the airport.  I have to say it's not a bad airport, it's massive and very bright and comfortable. There's lots to see and do, there's your standard airport chocolates and duty free, but there's also a screen across from me to play PS4 so the kids running around aren't annoying me too much. I've exhausted things to do, I've been over schoolwork, listened to hours of music, looked in the shop, and now I'm bored and slightly uncomfortable from having sat in the same chair for the last two hours. My gate should be open in about twenty minutes, but they're still boarding the previous flight and my plane is delayed, so i reckon I'll be sat here a bit longer. I have to say, I've never been more thankful for my headphones than right now. The fact that they're noise cancelling is usually lost on me when I'm home and it's quiet around me anyway, but here, it's makin

Screen to Screen: Dumbo

Right this is probably a bit stupid but since it is technically an adaptation, this review is called Screen to Screen as it is a review of a new version of an old movie. Judge me all you want but it does make sense. Dumbo  I saw Dumbo today and it's possibly the cutest film ever, definitely the cutest I've seen this year. That little baby elephant is so precious and perfect and I love him so much! If you don't already know the story of Dumbo, you gotta educate yourself. That movie came out like 80 years ago, and it's only 62 minutes long. If you've never seen it, I'm judging you. Either way, I'm going to describle the plot because this is slightly different from the original. It, of course, follows a circus, namely that of the Medici Brothers, and its cast. The Circus cast It is run by Maximillian Medici, played by Danny Devito, and he has a great band of performers, including Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell), who has just returned from war with only

Curly Hair, Been There: The Louvre

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there.  Paris: The Louvre    So I went to the Louvre last week and I have some thoughts.  It was a nice day and outside, with the famous pyramids and the impressive building, it was a really nice welcome to the landmark. I mean, the whole thing of the Louvre is that it's all nice to look at and it definitely was. I mean, the armed police and street sellers trying to flog their tickets were not so enjoyable, but the rest of it was a lovely introduction to the spectacle.  It's very impressive inside as well, the entrance is like a cave and then there are different passages going to different places and it's really cool.  I will say that it's a little confusing. I had a map, but if you think I can find my way around with or without guidance you are sorely mistaken. I got lost pretty much instantly. I was wandering around statues and stuff f
