Hey Guys x

As you can see from the title, today's post is a Favourites post.

I'm so excited to share what I've been loving this month with you!

Favourite Movie: Star Trek: Into Darkness

In all my life, I never thought I was the kind of person who could be obsessed with the Star Trek franchise. However, I am now completely obsessed with the Star Trek reboot, and this is a great addition to the franchise! Benedict Cumberbatch is introduced as a new Villain (Khan) and he does an amazing job. The acting in this is brilliant, but I love that the seriousness is broken up with small, subtle moments of levity and, at times, comedy. Even if you don't think you'd be a fan, definitely give this franchise a chance!

Favourite TV Show: Gossip Girl

I am loving this right now! I love watching all the rich kids on the Upper East Side and seeing the drama that they get themselves into. Season 2 was incredible, and so I've started watching season 3. I know that this is a really popular show, but I'm very new to it and I'm really annoyed with myself that I didn't watch it when it was actually on. rather than playing catch-up years later.  But it's amazing and I love it so much!

Favourite Song: Jealous

I've been doing a lot of writing and planning lately. The other day, I was writing a sad scene in a fanfiction that I've been writing (read it here) and this song felt perfect, so I listened to it while I was writing. I then listened to it while I was writing the next chapter and the next chapter, and now I listen to it whenever I'm doing something on my laptop. I love this song, it's so beautiful and I think Labrinth sings it beautifully!

Favourite YouTuber: Louise Pentland

I love her. I love the way she's changed up her YouTube channel, I love her new blog post 'Bottle Feeding or Shit Tits' (read it here), I love the fact that she's writing a fiction novel called Robin Wilde - I just love everything that she's doing right now, and I can't wait to see what she does in the future!

Favourite Celebrity: Chris Pine

It's official - I've basically fallen in love with all of the Hollywood Chris's (Evans. Hemsworth and Pratt), so it's definitely the turn of Chris Pine. As I said above, I love Star Trek, in which he plays Capt. James T Kirk, and he's amazing in it! But I'm amazed at how versatile he is! He can do Sci-fi(Star Trek), Comedy (Horrible Bosses 2), Musical (Into The Woods), Drama (People Like Us), Action (Unstoppable)  and I'm pretty sure everything in between! He's definitely my favourite actor of the moment!

Favourite YouTube Video: Chatting Sex, Religion and Politics

 As she said, Louise has changed up her content and this was the first video where she addressed the taboo topics of sex, religion and politics, which no one else really talks about! I loved this video and I'm really looking forward to the different style of videos that Louise will upload in the coming weeks and months!

Thank you for reading!

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

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

Book Review #127: The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

After the events of 'The Inheritance Games', Avery still doesn't know why Tobias Hawthorne left her his entire fortune. All she knows for sure is that she isn't a Hawthorne. But when she discovers something that suggests she's closer to the Hawthorne family than she ever imagined, Avery, along with the mysterious Hawthorne brothers, try to find the truth once and for all . I reviewed the first book, 'The Inheritance Games', HERE , and said that because I didn't love it, I wasn't really interested in reading the sequels. I picked this book up on the spur of the moment, because while I didn't love the first, I was kind of curious about what came next. I'm so glad I decided to pick this up, because I liked it a lot more than the first one! One of my criticisms the first time around was that I felt Avery was quite juvenile and childish. This time around was entirely different - I really liked being in her head, and she definitely seemed more matu

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

Holding Grudges

Hey Guys x First of all, this post is 3 days late and I'm really sorry about that. I had half of it written on Wednesday evening when everything went wrong and my laptop stopped working. Thankfully, the first half of this post saved so I can just continue now! Second of all, thanks for the nice comments on my 'Sefie-shy' post, you all really helped and I enjoyed seeing what you had to say. If you haven't seen it, click here ! But right now, I want to talk about grudges. Some of us don't hold grudges. Sure you get into arguments or someone insults you, but when everything is done and the apologies have been dealt, you can easily forget everything that happened and move on, still with this person by your side. I can't do this. If someone insults me or I get into an argument with someone, I can't just let it go. And I don't go as far as plotting their death, but to be honest, I'm not far off! And not only do I mean those huge arguments w
