November Favourites! | 2015

Hey Guys x

This is the last post that I'm writing until Blogmas, and I'm really excited to finally get into the Christmas period!

But first, I need to let you guys know what things I've been loving this month!

This is one of my favourite 'Favourites' posts this year, because November was a great month, particularly for music!

Let me know what some of your Favourites are this month!

Favourite Movie: Orphan


As a horror enthusiast, I've seen this film before. However, I watched it this week with a friend who had never seen it before, and fell in love with it all over again! I love it because it's a horror film that isn't that scary, so I can watch it with anyone and they'll probably enjoy it, especially because it's got such a good  twist!

Favourite TV Show: Modern Family


The new series of this has started! We're currently a few episodes in (in the UK) and I am loving it! It's better and funnier than ever and I would encourage anyone to watch it because it has something for everyone in it! Particularly if you're a lover of comedy!

Favourite Song: Over and Over Again


I have loved Nathan Sykes since 2010, and I still love him! I am a huge fan of the members of The Wanted, and Nathan has certainly not disappointed fans with this song. If you get a chance, watch the music video for it. It's inspired by 'The Notebook' and is so beautiful, as is the song itself!

Favourite YouTuber: Carrie Hope Fletcher


Of course, this isn't just for November, Carrie is always going to be one of my favourite YouTubers. However, for me, she's just in her element right now! She's writing her first fiction novel 'On The Other Side' which is out next year (and I'm so excited!) but also, her videos are amazing and she seems so happy right now, which in turn makes me happy for her!

Favourite Music Artist: Nathan Sykes


I've spoken about him already, so I'm just putting him in so I can say again how much I love him and how much I wish he wrote 'Over and Over Again' about me!!

Favourite Celebrity: Chris Evans


I'm going to talk about the Captain America: Civil War trailer later, because that deserves a section to itself, but I am loving Chris Evans right now, and not just because he's insanely hot! But also because he just seems like such a genuine, nice person, and I love the fact that whenever you see him, he's trying to have fun and make things as fun as possible! It makes for some great interviews, particularly with Chris Hemsworth!

Favourite YouTube Video: Dear 25 Year Old Me

I have been watching Dodie Clark a lot lately, and this video is one that really got me thinking, and feeling! She made a video speaking to her future self, wondering what her life will be like when she turns 25. And it's kind of scary! Things could change so much in a really short space of time. Something great or horrible could be waiting just around the corner and we have no idea how we'll deal with it! Getting a bit deep there, but it's such an interesting thing to think about!

Random Favourites

Hello - Adele


The queen is back! Adele is back, and better than ever! If you haven't been living under a rock for the past few weeks, then you've probably heard about Adele's new single 'Hello'. If you haven't heard it, listen to it right now because amazing isn't even a big enough word to describe this song and Adele's voice! She literally blew every other artist out of the water, and it looks like she's here to stay!

Stone Cold - Demi Lovato Live


I didn't hear this song until Carrie Fletcher did a cover of it. Then I decided to hear the original version, by Demi, and I came across this live version, and fell in love! Demi's voice is incredible, completely and utterly incredible. You need to listen to this song!

Captain America: Civil War - Trailer!


OMGIAMSOEXCITEDFORTHISICANTEVENHANDLEIT!!! I am a huge huge fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so this trailer is something that I've been waiting for for such a long time, and it didn't disappoint! I know some people weren't all that happy with it, but for me, it gave me everything that I needed. It filled in some of the blanks left over from the last Captain America film, it showed a bit of the conflict, it made the 'teams' clear, we know who's on which side, and we got a healthy dose of both Cap and Iron Man. An A+ from me!

Blogmas!


I'm about to start writing the first few Blogmas posts right now, I'm so excited for this time of year. As well as me doing Blogmas, a lot of you guys are too, and a lot of YouTubers are doing Vlogmas, and Zoella is doing 2 videos a day, which I am really excited about! This is one of the best times of year for team internet. Bring on Christmas!

Thank you for reading!

    I love Carrie, too! Although, this month my favourite YouTuber has been Hannah Witton and my favourite YouTube video was Phil is Not on Fire #7.

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....
