New month, new movies. As many of you might know, we went to Los Angeles in October. This meant a lot of movie related activities. And what I first wrote in this intro was that because of that I didn't watch a lot of movies. Then I started this writing this article. And I realized: I've seen a lot of movies in October! So I take it back. October was great film month :). 

Year: 2017

Genre: Crime/ Drama

IMDB score: 6,8

My score: 6

Remark: This was my first movie in the plane to Los Angeles! I was well prepared. Days before flying I already checked the airline's website and made a sort list of movies I wanted to see. I wrote it all down and added length & Imdb score. That way, I could easily make my choices in the plane. The first one picked of the list was Beast. Beast is about a woman who lives in an isolated community. She meets a man and falls in love. Of course, her family disapproves. But she's deeply in love. But what will she do when he gets arrested for murder?

Year: 2019

Genre: Adventure/ Family

IMDB score: 7,1

My score: 7

Remark: My second movie on the plane! Usually this isn't the type of movie that I watch quickly. I'm not really into Disney movies. But since I was on a plane and I know I used to like Aladdin I decided to watch. Okay. I might also have been curious to see Will Smith as a genie... 

And I thought the movie was quite nice! I enjoyed watching it. It had been so long since I had seen Aladdin (Of course it was the first time to see this version). And it was nice!

Remark: The third and last movie of the trip to Los Angeles! And this one as well is not typically me. But since Liv and I had seen Zachary Levi at CCXP Cologne this year, I really wanted to see Shazam. And I enjoyed watching Shazam!  It was really funny and I'm glad I gave it a try.

Remark: We watched Carrie again while we in Los Angeles. Cool, right? And it's getting better. We watched it in the Montalbán theatre on the rooftop. It really was an amazing experience.

Year: 2019

Genre: Horror/ Comedy

IMDB score: 7,2

We went to the movie premiere to see the stars, there was a Zombieland panel at Comic Con Los Angeles  and we watched the movie thanks to Los Angeles Comic Con in the cinema during our stay in Los Angeles. And the movie even was introduced to us by some of the cast members. How awesome is that?

Remark: And yes there was time for another plane movie! This time I chose to watch A Star Is Born. I have this movie coming by quite often (On Instagram, on TV, the trailer in the cinema etc etc) so I was curious. I didn't exactly know what the plot was about. I figures about a a woman who could sing very well and was a star on the rise. Well, there was a bit more too it than that. I liked the movie, it's not the happiest story. Even though I thought it was good, for it wasn't excellent. The movie was a bit slow at times and yeah, it was just all right for me.

My score: 7

Remark: This was one of DVDs I bought in Los Angeles. I bought it in a store in Santa Monica. I hadn't seen the movie before and I was curious.

I had seen so many announcements by Rob Zombie abut this movie, I was so excited to get the DVD. I knew it would come out on DVD during our stay in LA, so I would be able to buy it there. And I did. I really enjoyed watching 3 from Hell at home. I loved the movie. And above all, it was great to see Sid Haig in the movie, even though his role is quite small.
