March Favourites! | 2016

Hey Guys x

I can't believe it's time for another 'Favourites' post, it feels like only last week I wrote the last one!

Anyway, as usual, I'll be showing you some of my favourite things this month - I hope that some of my favourites can become your favourites too!

Favourite Movie 1: The Proposal


I can't believe it's taken me so long to see this film! I'd heard good things about it, but only watched it myself this week! For a rom-com, I was surprised at how much 'com' there actually was. Both of these characters are hilarious, and it was the smallest, most insignificant things that had me rolling on the floor with laughter. Definitely check out this film if you haven't already seen it! After I write this post, I'm definitely going to watch it again!

Favourite Movie 2: Deadpool


Since May last year, I've been really into superhero movies, particularly Marvel movies, so when this came out, I was really excited to see it, especially when I found out that it would have swearing and explicit scenes etc - it's basically the Marvel movie that I've been waiting for! Deadpool as a character is amazing - basically he's a super... person. He's not a villian, but he certainly isn't a hero! He kills people and makes jokes and swears and basically f**ks shit up, and I love him! He might actually be one of my favourite Marvel characters ever! And Ryan Reynolds was born to play him, honestly, it's amazing!

Favourite TV Show: Recess


I don't care how sad this is - I've been reliving my childhood recently and I've only just remembered how amazing Recess was! Honestly, I love reminiscing over the different episodes and it really makes me feel really young again. Especially when I found out that they gang were 9 years old! I mean, 9? Really? They seemed so much older back then! But either way, they're definitely still as cool as they were!

Favourite Song: Piece by Piece (Idol Version)


I saw Kelly Clarkson sing this on American Idol a few weeks ago, and immediately fell in love with the song. It's basically about her husband restoring her faith in men after her father was absent from her life. It has such a positive message with just the right amount of emotion to get me completely hooked! I can't stop listening to this!

Favourite YouTuber: Hazel Hayes


I know that I talk about Hazel all the time, but I can't help it because she's so amazing! She uploaded her February 2016 TOTM (time of the month - a monthly vlog segment) on Sunday and I went through a whole range of emotions while watching it, from sadness, to happiness and everything in between, pausing every so often to allow the fits of laughter that came from either Hazel or someone in her hilarious group of friends. I am so inspired by this woman and can't wait to see how the rest of her year will play out!

Favourite Game: Episodes (Demi Edition)


I love this little interactive game so much, and I'm really excited that it's beginning to update again! This game is basically what would happen if you won a competition and went on tour with Demi Lovato and her band for two weeks. Then, you explore what happens after that, and it just gets better and better!

Favourite Celebrity: Ryan Reynolds


If you couldn't tell already by looking at my movie choices, I am all about Ryan Reynolds this month! After I saw Deadpool, I just fell completely head-over-heels and have since been trying to watch as many of his movies as humanly possible! You could probably say that I'm just a little bit obsessed... but only a little! I was surprised at how genuinely funny he is, which I didn't expect. But also, just how genuine he is. I always say this about celebrities that I fall for, but he's just such a lovely guy and I can't wait to finish his filmography!

Favourite YouTube Video: February | TOTM 2016

This was a bit obvious, and I won't spend too long on it because I've already spoken about how much I love Hazel and her TOTM videos, but it was really great to watch. At the start, Hazel is packing up her home to move in with Dodie, and it's interesting to see how emotional she gets. But by the end, you can see how better this is for her. I just think these videos are a great way to document the month and I'm excited for her to continue with them!

Thank you for reading!

    I am SO obsessed with Demi's game! I hate that I have to wait 3 hours but that's probably a good time for a break! :) I love the proposal as well! Great post!

    I loved Deadpool too, Ryan Reynolds was so perfect for the role I can't wait for the next one! And I completely forgot about Recess I used to love watching it! x

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

Miller's Girl | Film Review

A creative writing assignment complicates the relationship between a teacher (Martin Freeman) and his student (Jenna Ortega). I heard about this film maybe once and remember being interested in it, but then I never heard anything about it again. So when I saw it was available to rent/buy on Prime Video, I decided to give it a shot.  I don't know what to make of this one. I didn't hate it, but there wasn't a lot to like. The only thing I did like was that Martin Freeman and Jenna Ortega worked really well together and had good chemistry. I'd love to see them work together again, in a film with a better plot and a less weird (platonic) relationship. The characters are written really weirdly. There were many moments when they said things that were just so unbelievable, especially Jenna Ortega's character, Cairo. Another odd aspect of the film was the tone - I could never tell if things were supposed to feel sinister or not because the film couldn't decide how it wa

Snatch | 100 Movies Bucket List

I'd never heard of this film before last year, when I watched it for the first time, so this time around was my second watch. Guy Richie's movies tend to be a bit hit-or-miss for me. This is one of the only ones where I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other. I didn't love the story, it didn't hold my interest the whole way through. But one thing that I absolutely loved was the dialogue. It was smart, quippy and made the film a much more fun watch than the plot itself would suggest. Another thing I absolutely loved was Brad Pitt's performance. This was probably one of my favourite roles of his. He did a great job with the character, and it was really different to everything else I've seen him in. But that being said, all of the performances were great. For me, if I had to guess why this film is considered a classic, it would 100% be because of the script and performances, rather than the film as a whole. It was the script that kept me locked in and

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

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

American Psycho | 100 Movies Bucket List

This one was a re-watch. I'd seen this film once before watching it for the Bucket List. My memories of it weren't wholly positive - I didn't love the first watch, and while I didn't hate it, it wasn't a film that I was itching to watch again. Though saying that, I knew that I probably would watch it again eventually, because I knew how much of a classic it was. Like a lot of films I've watched for the Bucket List, I liked it more this time around than I did the first time, though I still didn't love it as much as I wanted to. But that being said, I did really enjoy it. The writing was great and Christian Bale was amazing in the role, as were the supporting actors. For me, though, the most iconic thing about this movie is its soundtrack. The songs used are amazing and fit the movie so well. They're used in such a unique, original way, that it feels like this alone makes the movie a classic. The film is really well made, and even though I don't love i
