April Favourites | 2015

-
Hey Guys x

I have been doing 'Favourites' posts for a year! That's so incredible to me!

If you didn't notice, in the bar above this post, you can check out all of my favourites posts in one place, which makes things a bit easier as they are one of the 'posts' that you guys seem to like a lot!

Also, I didn't post yesterday because I was posting this today and I didn't want to post 3 days in a row. I also probably won't be posting tomorrow, so the next post from me should be up on Friday!

Anyway, let me get on with my favourites!

Favourite Movie: The DUFF
 
I reviewed this movie here and revealed how much I love it! I won't go into what it's about, because you can read the review, but I think it's a really great film and I really do recommend you to see it if you haven't! I also own the book but I haven't even started reading it because more books keep coming into my life that are demanding I read them! Right now, I've put 'Gone Girl' to one side so that I can read 'All I Know Now' by Carrie Hope Fletcher, but more about that later!
 
Favourite TV Show: Once Upon A Time
 
Ok I have to admit, I've only seen one episode of this, meaning that I'm on episode 2 of season 1, which doesn't really explain why it's my favourite TV show this month. But it's all about the concept. From what I've seen, it's about the common Fairytale characters being thrown into modern day New York, which is an amazing concept! Especially because I love Disney! I can't wait to watch more of this soon!
 
Favourite Song: We Cry
 
This is quite an old song. I used to love it and had it on my phone, but when I changed to an iPod, I lost the song and hadn't bought it again until this week. I've been playing it non-stop and have never loved the song more than right now!
 
Favourite YouTuber: Carrie Hope Fletcher
 
You probably already know why I love Carrie, and if you don't, read this post: Why Carrie Inspires Me. Anyway, this week she has achieved my own personal dream and published a book! It's called 'All I Know Now' and I already have a copy! I've been reading it and I am just so impressed with it. As someone, like Carrie, who has struggled a lot with the 'Teen' Age, and is going to University (hopefully) in September, her tips so far are really helpful and I can't wait to finish it and review it for you guys!
 
Favourite Game: Sims 4 Get To Work
 
Another thing that I have reviewed recently! I reviewed this game here so if you watch this, you'll know why I love it! But I have been playing this a lot recently and I am loving the fact that I can progress so much in different careers! I am currently playing in the 'Doctor' career and I am an assistant Nurse, which means that I can conduct surgeries and assist births, which is really cool (Not that I've done either yet!). I also love the fact that you can now have children in hospital too because you couldn't before!
 
Favourite Music Artist: Beyoncé
 
I have been really loving Beyoncé lately! I'm not that much of a fan of her latest album, but her old songs, such as 'Single Ladies' and 'Irreplaceable' have been on repeat for me this past few weeks because they are just such classic songs and you can't not love them!
 
Favourite Celebrity: Channing Tatum
 
This month, I have watched both 'Dear John' and 'The Vow', in which Channing is the main guy. I love romance movies and I love both of these movies a lot! Channing is a great actor and in these films, he's really amazing! And it doesn't hurt that he's completely gorgeous either!
 
Favourite YouTube Video: 'Reading The First Chapter Of All I Know Now'
 
I have already mentioned this book in this post. This video is Carrie herself reading the first chapter of her book. I had already read the first chapter when she uploaded this, but seeing Carrie read it and hearing her voice just adds something else to this book! It really allows me to hear Carrie's voice when I'm reading the rest of the book, and it just illustrates how well written it is! I would really suggest watching this video to see if you want to get this book. I'm loving it so far!
 
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

-
Image
  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

-
Image
  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

-
Image
  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....
