Hey Guys x

It's the second 'Favourites' post of the year, let's get into it!

Favourite Film: Bad Samaritan

I've already written a review of this film,which you can read HERE. But if you get the chance to see this film, definitely watch it because it's so great, and so underrated!

Favourite TV Show (1): It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

I'm binge-watching this right now, as I write a few blog posts. It's on Netflix, and I go through phases of loving it and then not really watching it. But every time I put it on, I fall in love with it all over again. It's the best type of comedy, where the characters have no morals and are actively as offensive as they can be - which is refreshing when a lot of TV shows try to do the opposite. All the current seasons are on Netflix so definitely watch the first season and see what you think!

Favourite TV Show (2): Grey's Anatomy

I am obsessed with this show! I always am, but particularly right now. It's on Amazon Prime, and I've been watching it as often as I can, trying to get in as many episodes as possible because I really want to know what's going to happen next. Watch the pilot and you'll immediately become obsessed, but just know that this obsession will completely take over your life!

Favourite Song(s): I Say No and Seventeen



When Carrie Hope Fletcher was in the musical 'Heathers', the cast recorded the songs for a cast album. Before the album came out, Carrie uploaded the videos of the songs 'I Say No' and 'Seventeen' to her YouTube channel. The whole album is amazing, and you should definitely listen to every song! But if you can't, or don't want to, definitely check out these two.

Favourite Game: Choices

This is a game that I've spoken about many times on the blog. It's making an appearance once again because recently the makers/writers of the games have been consistently creating amazing things. Their new games are so well written, and I am completely obsessed!

Favourite Music Artist: Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper
Even if you didn't watch the Oscars, you probably heard about this amazing performance of 'Shallow' from 'A Star Is Born'. It's one of my favourite movies from last year, and these are two of my favourite artists. Everything about this was perfect and if you haven't seen it, then you should watch it now!

Favourite Actor: Ellen Pompeo

Aka Dr. Meredith Grey. I am obsessed with the show, and an obsession with Grey's Anatomy comes with an obsession with Ellen Pompeo. Not only has she been the head of a huge show (the longest running TV medical drama) for 14 years, but she is completely outspoken about her support and work with women and people of colour, and I think that she's amazing.

Random Favourites

 Podcasts

I have been really into Podcasts lately, and I really need to find more to listen to! Right now, I regularly listen to: 'Directionally Challenged' by Candice King and Kayla Ewell, 'Shagged, Married, Annoyed' by Chris and Rosie Ramsay and 'Wonder Women' by Carrie Hope Fletcher and Celinde Schoenmaker.

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....
