February Favourites!

-
Hey Guys x

I meant to put this up yesterday but I left it really late before I wrote it and then I thought there was no point, so I decided to write and upload it today instead.

So, I have been loving a lot of things throughout February and I can't wait to recommend some of my favourite things to you!

Favourite Film: Beauty and the Beast
 
I have been in complete Disney mode this month! My favourite Disney movie at the moment is Beauty and the Beast and I have been watching it so much lately that it has to be my favourite February movie! I assume most people have seen this, but if you haven't seen it, watch it now! Even if you have seen it, just watch it again!
 
Favourite TV Show: Brooklyn 99
 
I love this show so much! I know that a lot of people are getting into this now, but I loved it from the first season last year and I was so excited for the next one to start. Yes, I know it's another 'cop show' and we already have a tonne of these on TV/Netflix at the moment, but trust me, this is different (in the best way!)
 
Favourite Song: Take Me To Church
 (I couldn't find a picture of the cover that was the right size)
 
I have a weird thing with music. When I like a certain song or artist, I REALLY like them. So when other people try to introduce me to new music, I ignore them because I'm into one specific amazing artist at a time. Then, a few months later, I hear the song that someone was trying to introduce to me and fall in love with it long after everyone else in the world has already established how amazing it is and moved on. This happens with all of my music, especially this song! I ignored it for so long and am now completely in love with it!
 
Favourite YouTuber: Hazel Hayes
 
As you can probably tell, I have been watching a lot more less-mainstream YouTubers currently, and am absolutely loving them! It's always been weird to me why vloggers have so many more subscribers than filmmakers as they are all so talented, particularly Hazel Hayes. I have been binge-watching her videos and I really love her. She's amazing!
 
Favourite Game: GTA5
 
I know that I've probably mentioned this before, but as more YouTubers begin to play this on their gaming channels, it makes me want to play it more and more! I just like the idea of the game and I think it's a really good way to waste time that could be spent revising! (I'm joking!) But obviously, it had a restriction for a reason, so if you're too young to play it, don't play it!
 
Favourite Music Artist: Sam Smith
 
He's won grammy's, he's won BRIT's, what's not to love about Sam Smith right now? I have 'You're not the only one' on repeat because I love it so much! I have yet to buy his album though, probably because I know that I will never stop listening to it!
 
Favourite Celebrity: Madonna
 
Yes, she is here because she fell off the stage at the BRITS. That fall was legendary, and the way that she got up and continued after it was completely amazing. If that was me, I would have just crawled off of the stage and hit my face from the world for the next 10 years. But no, she got back up and did an amazing performance. Good for her!
 
Favourite YouTube Video: Rocks That Bleed
 
Bertie Gilbert and Jack Howard released a short film last week, and it's completely amazing! Because I love Jack, I thought I would be completely biased. However, I completely forgot that it was him that I was watching because both Jack and Bertie acted amazingly. I literally felt like I was watching a really intense drama movie. Everything about it was so professional and it reiterates my feelings about vloggers vs filmmakers. I love vloggers and filmmakers as much as each other, I just wish that they were appreciated in the same way by YouTube subscribers, because these people need more subscribers! Their talent is unbelievable!
 
Thank you for reading!

Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17

-

  It's Blogmas day 17! When Cathy (Lacey Chabert) accidentally brings a snowman to life, she discovers the magic Jack the snowman (Dustin Milligan) brings to the town of Hope Springs. This is the third of four highly anticipated Netflix Christmas originals this year that I'm including in Blogmas. And while it's not the most original story, I've always loved the idea of Jack Frost, so I was excited to see it. Thankfully I liked this one - though maybe not as much as I wanted to. I really liked the character of Cathy. Not only was she really likeable, but because we get to know her so quickly, we can really root for her. I also loved the tone of the film. It didn't take itself seriously at all and made it clear to the audience that we're just there to have fun. All of the actors, main and supporting, were great. They were so much fun to watch and all played their characters really well. The chemistry between Cathy and Jack is great! You really want to see them tog...

Christmas Holidate | Blogmas Day 19

-

  It's Blogmas day 19! When Holly (Jasmine Burke) uses her company's app to find a date to bring home for the holidays, a glitch in the app causes more than one date to turn up. This film had an interesting premise because it seemed really original, and it looked like there would be a lot of chances for fun and humour. I didn't end up liking it as much as I wanted to. But one thing I liked was how much more modern it felt than most of the other movies I've watched for Blogmas this year. Even just the idea of her finding her date(s) through an app is original for a Christmas film. It's nice that the movie was family-focused, but the family it focuses on aren't that interesting and can't really carry the story. The main couple have chemistry and it was fun to watch them interact, but I never really cared about them one way or the other. And if for some reason they didn't end up together, it wouldn't have mattered to me. It took about 40 minutes for the...

Holiday for Hire | Blogmas Day 20

  It's Blogmas day 20! After getting dumped right before going home for the holidays, Katie (Christie Leverette) hires a man to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of her family. Finally a fake dating trope! A couple of the films this year have played with the theme, but this one really goes for it and I love that! But as much as I loved the premise, the film didn't really live up to it. However, one thing I loved as much as I loved the premise was Katie. Right from the beginning she was a character I could get behind and really root for. I also really loved Katie's roommate Sarah (Jeanne Lau) and I wish she had been given more to do, and more of a story. Why is she spending Christmas alone?? I tried not to look at the film from a point of realism, as this is a Christmas movie after all, but where was the sense of safety? The main couple are complete strangers at the start and it felt weird to see how quickly they trusted each other. And while I liked the characters intera...

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. ...

Christmas on Ice | Blogmas Day 21

  It's Blogmas day 21! Former figure skater Courtney (Abigail Klein) teams up with former hockey player Noah (Ryan Cooper) to save the local ice skating rink from closing. I picked this one because it just seemed so quintessentially rom-com-y that I had no choice! And it also seemed like it would be really Christmassy, which is always important for a Christmas film. Unfortunately this one wasn't as romantic as it could have been. But I will say the Christmas part holds up - is there anything more Christmassy than ice skating?? My main gripe with the film is that I completely fell in love with a couple and was willing to spent all my time and energy on them. The only problem was, it wasn't the main couple! It was the side couple who were given no time! If the main couple of this film had been Beth (Caroline Portu) and Trevor (Matthew Grimaldi) this could have been a great Christmas movie. I really liked what little I saw of them and wanted so much more than the film gave us....
