January Favourites!

-
Hey Guys x

It's time for another 'Favourites' posts! I feel like I haven't done this in absolute ages and I have so many great things to share with you this month!

Favourite Movie: Love Actually

I know that this is a Christmas film, but... wow. How amazing is this film? I watched it late this year, in the beginning of January, and I loved it so much! The thing is with Christmas films, as soon as Christmas is over, we completely forget about them until it's time to watch them again. It makes me forget all of the amazing Christmas films that there are! If you haven't seen this, you need to!

Favourite TV Show: Brooklyn 99
 
The new series of this has started and I am so happy! I watched the whole first season in the Summer Holidays and I completely fell in love with it. It's all about a group of police officers and the different crimes they solve, but it's a complete comedy! If you don't watch this, watch the first few episodes because you'll love it, just like I do!
 
Favourite Song: Oh Cecilia
 
I am in love with this song! I don't particularly like The Vamps, but I am in love with this song. I think I became obsessed with this after they did a 'YouTuber' version for a charity, which I loved and thought it was really good!
 
Favourite YouTuber: Ben Cook
 
I have been watching 'Becoming YouTube' this month to get ready for the new series that is coming in the next few weeks and I have just been loving it! I assume that a lot of you may not have seen it, so I'll put up the link to his channel here. Watch the series and let me know what you think. It really made me think deeply about some of the things that I think of YouTubers, especially girls on YouTube, which I will be doing a post about soon!
 
Favourite Game: Bakery Story
 
This is an app that I am completely obsessed with! In the game, you basically run your own bakery and you get to make different sweet treats and drinks. I think that description might be making it sound a bit better than it is. Basically, you choose the food, wait for it to cook (some take 1 minute, some take up to 24 hours) and sell it. I like it because it wastes time and helps me to procrastinate!
 
Favourite Music Artist: Ed Sheeran
 
The album X is still a favourite and I am loving Ed Sheeran so much right now! This year, I really want to see him in concert! He's probably amazing!
 
Favourite Celebrity: Mila Kunis
 
She has a new film coming out, she's gorgeous and I just love her so much! There's not really much else I can say, I just love her!
 
Favourite YouTube Video: Winter 'Uptown Funk' Lookbook
 
Another of Louise's lookbooks! I love this one, maybe, even more than her Autumn 'All About That Base' one! And the fact that Jack Howard filmed and edited it has no bearing on my love for it (umm... maybe I'm lying a bit, but how can you not be in love with Jack Howard?). Watch it if you haven't already!
 
Thank you for reading!

My Christmas Fiancé | Blogmas Day 13

-

  It's Blogmas day 13! Maya (Jennifer Freeman) agrees to pretend to be her boss's (Jack Parr) fiancé so that he doesn't have to get married. I picked this one because I love the fake dating trope in rom-coms, and I really wanted to find a movie for Blogmas that used this trope. Honestly though, I probably shouldn't have bothered, because this film wasn't great. The story took me a while to get into. And while I wasn't loving it straight away, I was hopeful that when the characters started their fake dating/engagement, it would become more interesting. But it didn't. One reason for this is how long the characters spent at work. They're both chefs and the majority of the first half of the film is spent in the kitchen cooking things that the audience don't care about. I understood the need to establish the relationships but it took way too long to do so. The characters weren't believable as anything - colleagues, friends, partners, anything. There w...

Merry Magic Christmas | Blogmas Day 14

  It's Blogmas day 14! In the lead-up to Christmas a financial advisor (Patricia Isaac) helps a theatre director (Andrew Dunbar) keep his theatre running. To be honest, that might not be an accurate description of the film. Not only have I completely forgotten what the film was actually about, I also forgot that I watched it! So this entire review is coming from the notes I made while watching, because for some reason it's a really forgettable film. I didn't get a great first impression of either of the main characters, and because of that, neither of them were particularly likeable. Not only was this the second Blogmas movie based around a theatre, but it was also the second to prominently feature 'A Christmas Carol' as the show the theatre was putting on. Could we please retire this now? There's a bit of chemistry between the main characters, but they just didn't work well together for me. I never quite bought them, and the potential romance wasn't som...

The Merry Gentlemen | Blogmas Day 12

  It's Blogmas day 12! As usual, since day 12 is my birthday I try to pick something either special, or that I'm really looking forward to. Of the new Netflix Christmas movies this was the one I was most looking forward to, so it made sense to have this down for day 12! A Broadway dancer (Britt Robertson) stages an all-male Christmas revue to save her parents' business. I absolutely loved this film! From the beginning, it's clear that a lot of time and effort was put into the creation of the characters - particularly our main couple who felt very authentic. But all the characters were great to watch - even those that don't get as much development or screen time. The chemistry was so great! As soon as the characters were on screen together I completely saw them as a potential couple and was rooting for them to get together. This stays the same the whole way through, and by the end it actually feels like this couple could last past the credits. The stakes actually fel...

Christmas in Notting Hill | Blogmas Day 11

  It's Blogmas day 11! When famous footballer Graham Savoy (William Moseley) meets Georgia (Sarah Ramos), who has no idea who he is, he finds himself enticed by the idea of being anonymous, and even more enticed by Georgia herself. I think this is the only Blogmas movie set in the UK, so for that alone it was an easy pick! The premise was great and felt somewhat original (for a Christmas movie anyway). I really really liked this one - it was a lot better than I thought it would be! I took an instant liking to both of the main characters, and I really liked the way they were introduced. It was fun getting to know them and their families before they came together. But speaking of them coming together, I haven't been paying much attention to meet-cutes so far this Blogmas, but I liked that they went with the classic bump/coffee spill.  The main characters had great chemistry and it was really fun watching them together. But for me the relationship that stood out the most was the ...

A Christmas Proposal | Blogmas Day 16

-
Image
  It's Blogmas day 16! When Jason (Joshua T. Shipman) is forced to move for work, and his girlfriend cannot go with him because they are not married, he creates an elaborate plan to propose by Christmas. So apparently there are two films with the same name, made in the same year, and it looks like I picked the worst of the two! From the very beginning, the tone of the film is really odd. It was taking itself way too seriously for what is supposed to be a light Christmas movie. The plot didn't really make much sense. A few times throughout the film there was a point made that the character didn't want to be with his girlfriend, and had actually requested a be transferred to get away from her. So why are we watching him plan a proposal? Why is he planning a proposal in the first place? There were really weird moments throughout the film where the sound quality would drastically change when a character was speaking but not on camera, despite supposedly being in the same room. ...
