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

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

-

  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....
