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!

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

-
Image
  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....
