Blog 'Vacation'...

This is just a quick post to let you know that I'm going to be having a little blogging holiday for the next few days. 
It's the first time I won't be posting every day for almost 2 years now so it feels very odd, but I think it's needed! 
For a start I myself shall be away visiting family and secondly I think the break will allow me to refocus my thoughts and ideas to come back to Enthralled fresh. 
I shall see you next week with my August Top 20!
But for now I shall leave you with a song I've been loving today...

Films To Watch

As we head out of Summer and into the 'For Your Consideration' portion of the year (my favourite time!) there are a few films that I am excited to see! Asides from the big ones such as Anna Karenina there are some smaller films that have shown at Sundance that are very much worth a look at...

Firstly we have Hello I Must Be Going. Starring Christopher Abbott fresh from the fantastic Girls. along with Melanie Lynskey (Up In The Air) stars and it looks like this could be her best performance yet. Have a look at the trailer...
