March Favourites! | 2017

-
Hey Guys x

I'm really sorry that I haven't posted a lot this month! It's been really busy trying to get everything done before I broke up from uni.

And April probably won't be any better, because I'll be writing essay after essay trying to finish everything!

However, I always make time for a 'Favourites' post, mainly because I love doing them. I find them so interesting to write and to read.

Anyway, let's get on with the post!

Favourite Movie: Get Out

WOW. I think I'm gonna do a full post on this within the next week or so, so I really don't want to say too much about it now. However, by next week, I'll have seen it three times with three different people, which tells you how much I loved it!
Seriously, go and watch this if you haven't!

Favourite TV Show: 90210

My sister and I recently got back into this show, and I'm so happy! I used to watch it when it first came on, but kind of fell out of it as the seasons went on. But watching it again now makes me remember all the reasons that I fell in love with it in the first place. It's an old show but a very entertaining one!

Favourite Song Album: Divide

I don't think I've ever heard a more perfect album. I'm not even exaggerating, every single song on this album is a freaking masterpiece. My personal favourites have to be 'Dive', 'Supermarket Flowers', 'Nancy Mulligan' and 'Save Myself' but it doesn't really matter because ALL of the songs are incredible! Listen to this album!

Favourite YouTuber(s): Jack and Dean

Jack and Dean are doing so well right now! They've just released (and are still releasing) the second season of their series 'Jack and Dean of All Trades'. The first episode of season 2 is on YouTube and it is so funny! I feel like I enjoyed that first episode more than the whole first season, which just shows how much they've improved because the first season was so good! I can't wait to see what they do next!

Favourite Music Artist: Ed Sheeran

I've already spoken about the album, so you know exactly why Ed Sheeran is my favourite music artist of the month. I don't actually think that there's any more that I can add to this. He writes amazing music and his voice is perfect.

Favourite Celebrity: TVD Cast

As you may or may not know, the Vampire Diaries ended this month, and since then I've been watching cast interviews all the time and falling in love with this group of people! They make the show what it is and I couldn't imagine it without any of them, which is why I feel like it was a good idea to end it after 8 seasons.

Favourite YouTube Video: Guess The Tagline

Hazel Hayes and her friend and fellow YouTuber Cayleigh Maloye made a video guessing movies based on their taglines. As a movie lover, I really loved this video! It was hilarious, but it also taught me a lot about taglines, and how effective they are when it comes to selling a movie. Plus the two girls are just hilarious together anyway, so you have no reason not to watch this!

Random Favourites

The Sleepover Club - DVDs

When I was younger, the Sleepover Club was my life. Those books made me love reading, and the DVD version was so good! I started re-watching it and I could actually quote some of the episodes word for word! It is so much fun to go back to your childhood and remember what you used to love!

'All That She Can See' Book Cover

Carrie Hope Fletcher has a new book! This is the cover of it, which is absolutely beautiful! I've already pre-ordered it (because I'm such a massive fangirl) and I can't wait to read it when it comes out in July! It may not be your thing, but look how nice the cover is! Look!

The Vampire Diaries
I mentioned this earlier, but this month TVD finished. I usually wait until the DVD comes out to binge watch the series, but I couldn't wait this time. Mainly because twitter was completely spoiling it for me. So I watched it over the course of three nights, and on the last night, I could not stop crying. It was so emotional, particularly the last episode. However, what was even more emotional was realising that I will never watch another new episode, or see a new plot twist unfold. I will never meet a new character or wonder if an existing character is dead, really dead, or someone that Bonnie is about to bring back from the dead. This show has been a part of my life for years, and the fact that it's over it really really sad. I miss it already. I miss having a show like that that I loved from the offset, because I haven't found a show quite like it since.

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

-

  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....
