June Favourites! | 2016

Hey Guys x

For once, I'm doing this on the 28th, which is the day that I always plan to!

Anyway, I'm just gonna jump straight in and start telling you what my favourite things have been this month!

I hope some of my favourites can become your favourites too!

Favourite Movie: The Conjuring 2

I went to see this last Friday (and I'll review it properly within the next week or so!) and I really enjoyed it! I have to say, if you don't like horror films, you definitely won't like this, and you probably shouldn't watch it! But I love horror movies and I loved this. There are a lot of jump scares, and a few faces that stay with you after the credits roll, but overall it's a really fun film, and so much better than the first one!

Favourite TV Show 1: Marvel's Jessica Jones

As you might know by now, I love Marvel and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. When I finished 'Marvel's Agent Carter', I decided to give this a try, but wasn't expecting much because I'd been told that it wasn't very good. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I watched it. Jessica Jones is a private investigator with superpowers who is trying to save herself and the people around her from one villain, Killgrave, a man who can control the mind of anyone that he speaks to, including Jessica herself. If you're into the Mavel/Superhero thing, definitely give this a chance and watch the first few episodes!

Favourite TV Show 2: The Vampire Diaries

I go back to this all the time, but right now, I'm further than I've ever been and I'm loving it more than I ever have! I'm about halfway through season 3, so no spoilers in the comments, but I'm just really excited to see what happens to everyone!

Favourite Song 1: Down

I first found this song because I 'shazamed' it ages ago after hearing it on the Vampire Diaries. This song stirs some serious emotions in me, and both Jason Walker and Molly Reed are amazing singers! It actually makes me want to cry, and I don't know why! But it's a beautiful song and I can't stop listening to it!

Favourite Song 2: All I Need

Sorry, for some reason, blogger wouldn't let me upload a full clip, aside from this one from the Vampire Diaries! But anyway, this song is by 'Within Temptation' and, like the song above, it stirs all the emotions in me, makes me want to cry, and I can't stop listening to it. It's such a well written song and I could listen to it over and over again!

Favourite YouTuber: Tanya Burr

Tanya has been doing so many amazing things for the past month or so. She won a glamour award which was really nice to see, and her baking book 'Tanya Bakes' comes out on Thursday. Plus she's constantly working on her beauty/cosmetics range and she's just doing really great things right now!

Favourite Game: MASH

This is such a simple game, but my sister and I had so much fun with it the other evening. The premise is, you have all these different categories (such as 'boys') and you pick four names (to make it fun, two that you like and two that you hate) and then fill in all the categories this way, with four options. Then, if you're using the app, draw a spiral and let the game choose your future. Then it'll give you your story - like, who you're going to marry, how they'll propose etc. It's so much fun!

Favourite Celebrity: Emily Blunt

Where do I sign up to make Emily Blunt my best friend?? I am just loving her right now! I watched her in 'The Adjustment Bureau' a few weeks ago and have been obsessed ever since. I've watched a lot of interviews that she's taken part in and I just love how funny she is, as well as how great an actress she is. Plus, I found out that she's going to play the lead character in the movie version of the extremely popular book 'The Girl On The Train', which I am halfway through and will hopefully be reviewing next month!

Favourite YouTube Video: How To Have The Best Girl's Night In

Just to warn, this video is sponsored, so if you don't want to watch any sponsored videos (as some people don't), then don't click on this one! But this is a Tanya Burr video where she has her friends over for a sleepover (in which she promotes sky box sets) and it just seems like a really fun night. I really want to host something like this in the future!

Thanks for reading

    I love With Temptation and Emily Blunt :). Anyway, great favourites. My favourite is has been getting back into drawing. So, may you take care. Shall wait for the review. The ad looked freaky, but I'm enticed by "why....?". Lollz. 'I have no friends...'. :)

    MASH is such a stupidly simple amazing game. I haven't played in so long but I remember playing it so much when I was younger with my friends during our wet lunches in primary school- I really want to play it again now!

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'

-

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
