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

The Usual Suspects | 100 Movies Bucket List

  This is the second movie for the bucket list that I forgot to write a post for! I saw this back in May so my memory might be a bit rusty, but it was a re-watch so I'm pretty clear on the plot and how I feel about it. I liked this movie. I probably liked it the same amount this time that I did on my first watch. It's a great story, told in a really interesting way. And while I probably didn't find it completely interesting the whole way through, it was worth it to get to the twist. For me, a plot twist is such an underrated device. I love them so much I actively seek them out in both movies and books. A good plot twist can make an otherwise bad movie re-watch-worthy. There are a few twisty movies on the bucket list, and this one has one of the best twists. Even if you don't like the movie as a whole, the twist makes everything so much more interesting. Another thing the twist does is make you want to watch the film all over again. I saw it months ago now, and I really

Woman of the Hour | Film Review

  Amidst a series of murders in LA, aspiring actress Cheryl (Anna Kendrick) crosses paths with a serial killer (Daniel Zovatto) on a dating show. I was really excited to see this film as soon as I saw the trailer. Even in that short space of time it got across a tense, sinister atmosphere that made the film seem like a really interesting watch, especially being a true story. Thankfully I loved the film, and the atmosphere it created was part of the reason why. From the first scene we understand the tone and can already kind of guess how the rest of the film will feel. The tension was created expertly. There were multiple times while watching the film where I was holding my breath without realising, and this feeling didn't go away until the film was over. In the last 30 minutes particularly, I actually had to pause the film to remind myself to breathe because it was that intense. Those 30 minutes were so well written and crafted - I don't think I've even seen a full-on horro

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly | 100 Movies Bucket List

-

Next on the list was 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'. This isn't one I was particularly looking forward to.  I've never been a huge fan of Westerns, so watching what is probably the most famous Western for 2 and a half hours wasn't high on my to-do list.  But because of that, it was actually a much more intriguing watch than I thought it would be. It took me quite a while to really get into it, but once I got the plot and focused on it, I found the story was a great one. What made it great for me more than anything was the characters. I really enjoyed watching them interact. And as someone who had only seen Clint Eastwood in 'The Bridges of Madison County' and 'Million Dollar Baby' before this, I definitely gained a newfound respect for him as an actor. Whenever I think of Westerns, my mind instantly goes to 'Back to the Future 3', even though the actual movies aren't like this in any way. But this movie was the first to directly remind

Subservience | Film Review

While struggling with a sick wife and two children, Nick (Michele Morrone) hires an AI android called Alice (Megan Fox) to help out around the house. But when Alice becomes self-aware, Nick finds that he and his family are suddenly in danger. I've watched a few AI-based horror movies in the last month or so, so I was in the mood to give another one a shot. As I'd somewhat enjoyed the others, I thought I'd like this one too. Unfortunately, I didn't like this one much at all. For a start (and this is my fault as I've already mentioned seeing a few films with this concept recently) but the AI-gone-bad premise is no longer new. And when a film uses the concept but doesn't bring any new ideas, it starts feeling a bit stale. This one didn't really have anything new to add to that conversation, and so it didn't feel original. Having said that, I did like that it got right into the story straight away. We know the family, we know their circumstances, we know how

Brothers | Film Review

While attempting to go straight, former criminal Moke's (Josh Brolin) efforts are derailed when he is reunited with his twin brother Jady (Peter Dinklage), who convinces him to join a cross-country road-trip to retrieve the score of a lifetime. I remember seeing the trailer for this a few months ago and being surprised by the actors involved, because no one seemed to be anticipating its release at all. I wasn't particularly interested in the plot, but as a fan of a few of the actors in it, I wanted to see it. And after watching the film, I understand why no one was really talking about it. But let's start with the good things! The characters are great. Jady and Moke are fun characters to spend time with, and the actors had great chemistry. If nothing else in the film felt realistic, their brotherly banter worked. At the beginning, it was funnier than I expected it to be. This unfortunately didn't last and the film got less and less funny as it went on, but for a while t
