December and 2016 Favourites!

-
Hey Guys x

This year, I thought I'd do something a little bit different with my last 'Favourites' post of the year.
Rather than just tell you the things that I've been loving this month, I'm also going to tell you my favourites of the year!

I hope you enjoy my last 'Favourites' post! It's gonna be a long one!

Favourite Film: The Loft

'The Loft' has definitely been my favourite film of December. It's fast paced and exciting, there's twists and turns around every corner and you really can't guess what the outcome is! Definitely one to watch!

Film Of The Year (1): Captain America: Civil War

Of course this had to be one of my films of the year. As a huge Marvel fan, I went into 2016 really anticipating this film, and it certainly did not disappoint! I've watched it multiple times since and it gets better every time!

Film Of The Year (2): Star Trek

This year, I have loved getting into the Star Trek world. These films have opened up so many doors and passions for me, and helped me choose a possible future career. And as well as that, they're just really good movies!

Favourite TV Show: The Vampire Diaries

I started watching this again this month, and I just fell in love with it all over again. I'm binge watching it as quickly as possible and each episode is really just better than the last. If you don't watch this show, you need to start watching it because it's amazing!

Show Of The Year: Orange Is The New Black

I can't believe I only started watching this this year, I'm ashamed at how long it took me! But this is definitely my favourite show of the year! Again, you should definitely start watching this if you don't!

Favourite Song: Say You Won't Let Go

This song is so beautiful! It's by James Arthur and he sounds incredible in it! But the lyrics really just get me because they're so beautiful and amazing! I can't stop listening!

Songs Of The Year:
There are so many songs that I want to include in this, but I won't talk about them a lot as I don't want to make this post too long.

HellfireDown
Jealous

They're all songs that I have fallen in love with this year for one reason or another, and they definitely all deserve a listen!

Favourite YouTuber: Niomi Smart

Niomi has been doing Blogmas and I've been loving it! But in addition to that, in her Blogmas videos, she's been doing a lot of things that have made me really proud to be a subscriber of her. For example, in one of the videos, she was really upset about what was happening in Aleppo and said that she didn't understand why people with bigger followings weren't doing anything, and I really admired and respected her for that. In addition, she's one of the only YouTubers who has not been trying to hide the fact that she's in a new relationship. She mentioned it casually, as if it wasn't a big deal, which really made it not a big deal. I think she's great!

YouTubers of the Year: Hazel Hayes, Carrie Hope Fletcher, Louise Pentland

This amazing trio of ladies has made my 2016 amazing! They've been creating, making, doing and inspiring me to do the same, and I can't wait to see what they individually get up to in the new year, including reading Carrie and Louise's new books!

Game Of The Year: Sims

I don't have a game of 2016 because it would have been sims! I have loved playing sims this year, just like I love playing sims every year! Sims is a great game that everyone needs to be playing!

Favourite Celebrity: Karl Urban

Karl Urban plays 'Bones' in Star Trek, and he's also one of the main characters in my December favourite movie 'The Loft', so it's only fair that he's my favourite celebrity this month. I might actually change 'Favourite Celebrity' to 'Favourite Actor' because that's all they seem to be! But he's an amazing actor and I can't wait to see him in 'Thor 3' next year!

Celebrities Of The Year: Sebastian Stan and Chris Pine

Both of these actors have been very significant to me this year for different reasons. But mainly, they're my favourites because they got me into different TV Shows and movies, and they're both amazing at what they do!

YouTube Video Of The Year: Happy

 I have to be honest, I can't think of any other video to put in this place. With me, videos are pretty much forgotten as soon as I've watched them. However, this is a very good video which rightfully deserves to be my video of the year!

Random 2016 Favourites

 Gossip Girl

This could have been in the TV shows bit but I wanted to give it it's own space. I started watching Gossip Girl this year and I am in love with it. It's an amazing show, and I can't believe I haven't been watching it for years! It's particularly made me fall in love with Blake Lively, who is amazing!

Wattpad and Rogue

One of my favourite hobbies throughout this year has been writing my Marvel-based fanfiction 'Rogue', which is currently at 34,000 reads (I can't believe it!). If you'd like to read it (and I'd love you to read it) click here!

Thank you for reading!

Comment below what you've enjoyed this year!

Keep Smiling - Lou xx

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....
