My 10 Favourite Actors!

-

Hey Guys x

Films are something that I'm really passionate about, and I'm really lucky to have seen so many completely amazing films over the past year, and have been introduced to so many amazing actors!

So I thought I'd show you some of the actors that I love right now, along with the trailer of my favourite film of theirs!

I hope you enjoy seeing my favourite actors!

10. Alan Rickman


If any of you don't know, Alan Rickman played Professor Snape in the Harry Potter series and he died 10 days ago, on the 14th January. I, like so many people, was really shocked and incredibly upset by his death, not least because he was such an amazing actor and inspired me. His portrayal as Snape was incredible and there was no one else who could have played that roll as well as he did. RIP Alan Rickman.

Favourite Film: Love Actually, All Harry Potter Films

9. Chris Pratt


I have loved Chris Pratt ever since I saw Jurassic World, and I still love him! I think he's a great actor and I'm a big fan of his movies, particularly Guardians of the Galaxy as it's in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I'm also excited to see what's next for him because I know that he's got some great stuff coming up!

Favourite Film: Jurassic World

8. John Boyega


He's just been in the new Star Wars movie, and I am so proud! He's from South London and he's really representing where he (we) come from. I first saw him in a film called 'Attack The Block', which probably wasn't as popular as it should have been, mainly because the humour is really London-based, but it's completely hilarious and he's amazing in it! I can't wait to see what else he has coming up!

Favourite Film: Attack The Block

7. Channing Tatum


I've loved Channing Tatum for ages, and I'll probably continue to love him for years to come. He's been in so many films that I love, including romance and action films. He can play so many different roles and is really versatile and talented!

Favourite Film: 21 Jump Street

6. Liam and Chris Hemsworth


I'm counting them as one because I love them both but there isn't enough space to talk about them individually! Liam has been in the Hunger Games and is mainly known for that, while Chris has been in Thor, which is where I first saw and fell in love with him. They're both really talented actors (it obviously runs in the family!) and I am a fan of both of them... maybe Chris a bit more than Liam!

Favourite Film: The Last Song (Liam)
                        The Cabin in the Woods (Chris)

5. Jeremy Renner


I am such a huge fan of Jeremy Renner! I first saw him in 'The Avengers' and, since then, I have tried to watch so many of his films, because I genuinely think he's an amazing actor. He predominantly does action movies, such as the mission impossible, avengers and Bourne films, and he's so talented!

Favourite Film: Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters

4. Hugh Grant


I still maintain that Hugh Grant is one of the best, if not the best, romance actors in my generation! I love romance movies so much and his are some of the best that I've seen. I haven't seen him in anything recently, but, like the others in this list, he's really talented and I would love for him to do more romance movies in the future!

Favourite Film: Bridget Jones' Diary

3. Anthony Mackie



Anthony Mackie is my current actor obsession, mainly because of the film 'Shelter', which I can't stop thinking about! I've already spoken about it in at least 2 posts so I won't explain what it's about again, but I'm definitely going to watch it again tonight because I've been craving it all weekend! But he has done such a variety of different films, I was really surprised to see his filmography and see how many different roles he can fit into.He is definitely a firm favourite of mine!

Favourite Film: Shelter

2. Chris Evans


I think Chris Evans is the actor whose films I see the most. I think I've seen about 14 of his films and I'm definitely working on building up this collection! For me personally, I love his romance films. He's a great romantic protagonist and recently directed his own romance film, which I've seen and it is amazing! But I also love him as Captain America, his superhero films. I don't know which I prefer because he does them both so well! Also, I can't wait for his next Captain America film (Civil War) coming out this year!

Favourite Film: Before We Go, Civil War

1. Robert Downey Jr


I am a huge fan of Robert Downey Jr, he's my favourite actor, my favourite celebrity, I would go so far as to say that he's one of my favourite people in the entire world. He inspires me so much in so many different ways. I also love his wife, Susan, probably more than I love him, because she seems amazing! They have an enviable marriage and are amazing as a couple. But, even with all that, RDJ is an incredible actor, and the most versatile that I've seen. He can go from playing Iron Man to Sherlock Holmes in the blink of an eye and you really believe that he is all of these characters. He's also in Captain America: Civil War, among other things, and I can't wait to continue to follow him through his career and see what he gets up to next!

Favourite Film: The Judge

    So many marvel actors in this (LOVE IT)! I think the only actor in there that I don't love is Hugh Grant- though he still is great!

    Great post! Can't get over that Alan Rickman is gone - will be sorely missed among Potterheads and others :(

    Great list! It's really sad that Alan Rickman passed away. He was one of my favorite actors as well.

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

  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....
