I am a big fan of Wikipedia, and often use it on my blog to provide greater detail if my readers want to delve deeper in to a topic that I briefly discuss. In the same way, I will use Wikipedia to further illustrate each film I am watching on my scratch poster. One of the main reasons that I choose to use Wikipedia is due to the lack of advertising content. This is very important to me. I even pay a significant sum – in my opinion – to WordPress so that visitors don’t get distracted by adverts and can just concentrate on what I have written.
I originally planned to watch many of these feature films on Amazon prime video, I even added the vast majority of titles to my watchlist. However after ordering Raising Arizona to enjoy one afternoon, I was frustrated to find it did not come with subtitles. This forced me to request a refund from Amazon as I am not in the habit of throwing money away for an inaccessible film. I thought this might be a one-off and a few days later I ordered Sex, Lies and Videotape in the hope of conjuring a little afternoon delight, but this title also did not have subtitles. As I am hard of hearing, I rely on subtitles to keep up with the story of the film. Again I received a refund with no real problem, but I was surprised and disappointed that Amazon do not offer subtitles on every film.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
January 22nd: Watched Ferris Bueller’s Day Off: – I would like to say that this film reminded me of myself during my younger years in school. However, I was more like the school nerd and was proud of the 100% attendance that was documented in my Record of Achievement. Looking back at my time in school, I wish I had enjoyed more days full of the crazy antics of Ferris Bueller, but then again I would not have been able to achieve all I have if I had wasted my school days stealing cars and causing chaos around Chicago.
I really enjoyed this light hearted film that was easy to watch. Ferris Bueller may not be a good role model for your children, but his antics certainly make for an entertaining 1hr 43min.
If you liked Saved by the Bell, then you should enjoy this John Hughes directed effort, starring Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck and Mia Sara.
