3 Month Favourites | July - September 2021

-

It feels like ages since I've done a Favourites post, and yet I don't have as many favourites as I thought I would.

Favourite Movie (1): The 'Fear Street' Trilogy


I've already said it on the blog more than once, but I absolutely love this trilogy. I reviewed the films HERE, HERE and HERE, and I can't wait to watch them again!

Favourite Movie (2): Black Widow


This movie is on here due to how surprised I was by it. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did, and I definitely didn't expect to love it. You can check out my review HERE.

Favourite Movie (3): The Glass House


This isn't a new movie - in fact it's about 20 years old. I had been meaning to watch it for a while but only got around to it in July, and I loved it. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary, the plot has been tried and tested, but it ended up being right up my street. I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for an interesting thriller.

Favourite TV Show (1): Sons of Anarchy


This isn't my usual show, and I went into it not knowing much about it other than it's great reputation. I watched one episode and completely fell in love with it. I'm currently on Season 5 and still loving it, but the first 3 seasons of this show are some of the best television I've seen in my life. The storylines were amazing, they were well-written and acted, and I just wanted to consume as much of it as possible. It's on Netflix (UK), so definitely watch this if you have space in your life for another TV show.

Favourite TV Show (2): Sex Education

I am obsessed with Sex Education, so when the third season finally came out I was so excited for it. I really enjoyed the third season - there were some things that I liked less than others, but overall I think the season was great, and I now can't wait for season 4!

Random Favourite (1): Rose and Rosie: Parental Guidance

I have loved listening to Rose and Rosie's podcast. They have recently started their third season after welcoming their son, and listening to it is one of the best parts of my week. There are only a few podcasts that I listen to, and this is definitely one of my favourites.

Random Favourite (2): Booktube

As I have fallen further in love with reading this year, I have delved into the world of Booktube, and I was surprised that it took me so long! Not only do I love watching people talk about books, but I love building up my book wish-list for the new year. I am open for anything, so if there's anything that you think I should read in 2022, leave a comment!

And those are my July-September favourites. Let me know what you've been loving lately.

Star Wars Episodes IV, V, VI | 100 Movies Bucket List

-

Technically the '100 Movies' in the Bucket List are really 106, because there are a couple of squares that contain trilogies that only count as one movie. This is one of them. I watched all the Star Wars movies a few years ago, and while I've re-watched the sequel trilogy quite a few times, I only watched the original trilogy once, so I was really glad I got to watch them again for this. I also watched them all in one day, back-to-back, so some of them definitely run into each other in my mind! I absolutely love these movies. Each one brings something different (but equally iconic) to the world of sci-fi, they're all classics in their own right, and they're genuinely really fun movies. The cast are amazing - Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill became household names off the back of these movies and with good reason, because they played these roles amazingly, and the characters are some of the most well-known and popular in the world. The way these films hav

Airplane! | 100 Movies Bucket List

-

  This was a first-time watch, and I had no idea what it was about. It was a bit surprising to me that there weren't a lot of comedies on the Bucket List, but then thinking about it more, comedies, romances and horrors are probably the least-valued genres in terms of critical acclaim, which is really unfortunate because there are some incredible movies in those categories. But because of that, I was really happy to see a comedy on the list, especially one that's widely known as being 'one of the 10 funniest movies ever made' according to the Paramount Plus description. So I had somewhat high hopes for it! I enjoyed the movie a lot.  The film was released in 1980, and while the humour works for that time period, I really believe it works for a modern audience too. The writing was great, but the acting is what makes the film stand out. You can tell the actors didn't take themselves too seriously, went in to have fun and all delivered such great performances. It's

Suncoast | Film Review

Doris (Nico Parker) spends her time helping her mother (Laura Linney) take care of her brother (Cree Kawa). Growing resentful, she begins to rebel, and strikes up a friendship with an activist (Woody Harrelson) protesting a landmark medical case. I didn't know anything about this film before watching it. All I knew was that it was new, and I like all three of the main actors, and that was enough for me to watch it! I really really liked this movie. The audience is able to take an instant liking to Doris because we take an almost instant disliking to her mother. Or at least, I did!  The actors are the strongest thing about the movie, and they are all amazing in their roles. Linney and Harrelson are great in everything, so that wasn't really a surprise, but Nico Parker absolutely carried the film and did such a good job with it. Before this I had only seen her in 'The Last of Us', so now I'm a huge fan! Doris is such a sweet, interesting character. One of the reasons

Drive-Away Dolls | Film Review

Looking for a fresh start, Jamie (Margaret Qualley) and Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan) take a road trip, unaware that their rented car contains an important package that a group of criminals will do anything to find. I remember seeing the trailer for this film a couple of months ago at the cinema, and while I wasn't itching to see it, it looked light and fun, so it was definitely on my radar. I loved this movie! It was so much better than I was expecting it to be! For a start, I loved the characters from their first seconds on screen. The main actresses have great chemistry and it's so fun watching them together. Not only did I enjoy the acting and the way the characters were written, but the dialogue was brilliant. You really enjoy just watching these people interact regardless of the situation they're in. A lot of the cast was unexpected, and I loved that. Other than the main characters (and one who's in the trailer), I didn't really know who was in the film, so t

Where Rainbows End vs. Love, Rosie | Film and Book Review

-

I've just finished reading 'Where Rainbows End' by Cecelia Ahern, and immediately had to watch the movie version, 'Love, Rosie'. The reason that I've decided to talk about them together, as opposed to only reviewing the book, is mainly because I didn't have enough to say about the book on its own to justify reviewing it. Alex (Sam Claflin) and Rosie (Lily Collins) have been best friends since childhood. But when they turn 18 and their paths start to diverge, they realise how much they need each other. I love the idea of this story. Whether in book or movie form, the idea of childhood best friends realising that they were always meant for each other is something that I'm really into. The book version of this story is written entirely of notes, emails, letters, instant messages and any other type of written media, and I loved this. Not only did it make the book really quick to read, but it's almost like you're invading someone's most private th
