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.

Road House (2024) | Film Review

-
Image
When ex-UFC fighter Dalton (Jake Gyllenhaal) takes a job as a bouncer at a roadhouse, he soon finds that his past is quickly catching up to him. I've never seen the original Road House, and when I put this one on I wasn't really planning to review it, but I found myself really getting into it. I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Both the characters and the story were a lot more engaging and compelling than I thought they would be. The story sucked me in right from the beginning and I was interested the whole way through. The cast is great, but Jake Gyllenhaal completely carries the film and plays the character of Dalton really well. Again, I can't compare his performance to the original, but I really like the character. The fight scenes, which are pretty much what the film is about, are done really well. They're entertaining, but they also do a good job of moving the story forward. I think the reason I liked the film so much was because I didn't take it

Wonka | Film Review

-

Young Willy Wonka (Timothée Chalamet) tries to follow his dreams to become a respected chocolatier, despite opposition at every turn . This film was never particularly high on my 'to-watch' list, but it was always on my radar, so I'm glad I've finally seen it. I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would, but I still definitely had problems with it! For a start, while I love the fact that it was a musical, I didn't actually like any of the actual songs. None of them really stood out (except the one that's already known) and having only seen the film yesterday, I can't remember any of them. In fact, while the songs didn't hurt the film, I also don't feel like they were completely necessary. I would have liked the film the same amount if it hadn't been a musical. Wonka is a really charming character, and Chalamet plays him really well. In fact, the entire cast is great - definitely the best thing about the film by a mile. The relationship b

Scarface (1983) | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up for the Bucket List was another first-time watch! I'd seen the original 1932 film years ago and really liked it, but I never got around to watching this (undoubtedly more popular) version, so I'm glad it was on the list. I really really liked this movie. I'm not sure if I like it more than, or the same as the original, but I definitely had a great time with it. One thing about finally seeing all these classic movies is seeing how much impact they've had on pop culture, and this film is definitely no exception. It's so quotable, there are so many iconic images, and it's one that everyone should watch if they haven't seen it before. The most talked-about aspect of this film is probably the violence, and that's so interesting to see. Not only the way it's spoken about, but also the difference between violence in older films like this and newer releases. I personally thought the violence was done well, and while probably not all of it was strictl

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

-
Image
Hey Guys x Today's post might come out as more of a rant, which I'm OK with because I haven't ranted about something in a while! Last year, I started watching the show '8 Simple Rules' when it started playing on Comedy Central. It originally came on between 2002 and 2005 but I didn't watch it when it was first on. Anyway, I really got into it. There were only three seasons, so it was over before I wanted it to be. And I loved this show, and I still love it. Comedy Central doesn't play it anymore but if it did I would dive right back into it because I love a good sitcom. However, I have a major gripe with a plotline of the show, that got more prominent in season 2/3. Let me just explain the characters a bit, so you know who I'm taking about in case you never watched it. The show revolves around a family, Paul and Cate Hennessy, and their children Bridget, Kerry and Rory. In the second season, the father in the show died (due

The Matrix | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up for the Bucket List was a first-time watch. This is one that I had obviously heard of but knew next to nothing about. I found that it took a long time for me to connect with the story, and even then, while the film was interesting to watch, I never felt particularly invested in it. There were a lot of recognisable, iconic moments that I appreciated, and I get how much of an impact it had on sci-fi (and probably movies in general), but I don't know if it was for me. I somewhat enjoyed it, I understood everything that happened, but never felt connected, and didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. It could just be that I need to re-watch it, and I probably will, but for a first watch, I didn't take to it as much as I wanted to. But that being said, I'm glad I finally watched it!
