January Favourites!

-
Hey Guys x

It's time for another 'Favourites' posts! I feel like I haven't done this in absolute ages and I have so many great things to share with you this month!

Favourite Movie: Love Actually

I know that this is a Christmas film, but... wow. How amazing is this film? I watched it late this year, in the beginning of January, and I loved it so much! The thing is with Christmas films, as soon as Christmas is over, we completely forget about them until it's time to watch them again. It makes me forget all of the amazing Christmas films that there are! If you haven't seen this, you need to!

Favourite TV Show: Brooklyn 99
 
The new series of this has started and I am so happy! I watched the whole first season in the Summer Holidays and I completely fell in love with it. It's all about a group of police officers and the different crimes they solve, but it's a complete comedy! If you don't watch this, watch the first few episodes because you'll love it, just like I do!
 
Favourite Song: Oh Cecilia
 
I am in love with this song! I don't particularly like The Vamps, but I am in love with this song. I think I became obsessed with this after they did a 'YouTuber' version for a charity, which I loved and thought it was really good!
 
Favourite YouTuber: Ben Cook
 
I have been watching 'Becoming YouTube' this month to get ready for the new series that is coming in the next few weeks and I have just been loving it! I assume that a lot of you may not have seen it, so I'll put up the link to his channel here. Watch the series and let me know what you think. It really made me think deeply about some of the things that I think of YouTubers, especially girls on YouTube, which I will be doing a post about soon!
 
Favourite Game: Bakery Story
 
This is an app that I am completely obsessed with! In the game, you basically run your own bakery and you get to make different sweet treats and drinks. I think that description might be making it sound a bit better than it is. Basically, you choose the food, wait for it to cook (some take 1 minute, some take up to 24 hours) and sell it. I like it because it wastes time and helps me to procrastinate!
 
Favourite Music Artist: Ed Sheeran
 
The album X is still a favourite and I am loving Ed Sheeran so much right now! This year, I really want to see him in concert! He's probably amazing!
 
Favourite Celebrity: Mila Kunis
 
She has a new film coming out, she's gorgeous and I just love her so much! There's not really much else I can say, I just love her!
 
Favourite YouTube Video: Winter 'Uptown Funk' Lookbook
 
Another of Louise's lookbooks! I love this one, maybe, even more than her Autumn 'All About That Base' one! And the fact that Jack Howard filmed and edited it has no bearing on my love for it (umm... maybe I'm lying a bit, but how can you not be in love with Jack Howard?). Watch it if you haven't already!
 
Thank you for reading!

The Usual Suspects | 100 Movies Bucket List

-
Image
  This is the second movie for the bucket list that I forgot to write a post for! I saw this back in May so my memory might be a bit rusty, but it was a re-watch so I'm pretty clear on the plot and how I feel about it. I liked this movie. I probably liked it the same amount this time that I did on my first watch. It's a great story, told in a really interesting way. And while I probably didn't find it completely interesting the whole way through, it was worth it to get to the twist. For me, a plot twist is such an underrated device. I love them so much I actively seek them out in both movies and books. A good plot twist can make an otherwise bad movie re-watch-worthy. There are a few twisty movies on the bucket list, and this one has one of the best twists. Even if you don't like the movie as a whole, the twist makes everything so much more interesting. Another thing the twist does is make you want to watch the film all over again. I saw it months ago now, and I really

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next on the list was 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'. This isn't one I was particularly looking forward to.  I've never been a huge fan of Westerns, so watching what is probably the most famous Western for 2 and a half hours wasn't high on my to-do list.  But because of that, it was actually a much more intriguing watch than I thought it would be. It took me quite a while to really get into it, but once I got the plot and focused on it, I found the story was a great one. What made it great for me more than anything was the characters. I really enjoyed watching them interact. And as someone who had only seen Clint Eastwood in 'The Bridges of Madison County' and 'Million Dollar Baby' before this, I definitely gained a newfound respect for him as an actor. Whenever I think of Westerns, my mind instantly goes to 'Back to the Future 3', even though the actual movies aren't like this in any way. But this movie was the first to directly remind

Woman of the Hour | Film Review

  Amidst a series of murders in LA, aspiring actress Cheryl (Anna Kendrick) crosses paths with a serial killer (Daniel Zovatto) on a dating show. I was really excited to see this film as soon as I saw the trailer. Even in that short space of time it got across a tense, sinister atmosphere that made the film seem like a really interesting watch, especially being a true story. Thankfully I loved the film, and the atmosphere it created was part of the reason why. From the first scene we understand the tone and can already kind of guess how the rest of the film will feel. The tension was created expertly. There were multiple times while watching the film where I was holding my breath without realising, and this feeling didn't go away until the film was over. In the last 30 minutes particularly, I actually had to pause the film to remind myself to breathe because it was that intense. Those 30 minutes were so well written and crafted - I don't think I've even seen a full-on horro

Smile 2 | Film Review

After a harrowing accident, popstar Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) is putting her life back together and embarking on a world tour. But after witnessing a suicide, she begins to experience strange occurrences - the strangest of which is a smile that seems to follow her wherever she goes...  Having absolutely loved the first film, I was so excited to see where this next one would take the storyline, and it seemed really promising! But my high expectations were probably why I ended up being so disappointed with the final result. I know that this is definitely an unpopular opinion, but I didn't really like this sequel. However, I did like how it began. It directly connects itself to the first film in a really interesting way, and that was fun to watch. Then it kind of went downhill. For me personally, I didn't love the character of Skye Riley. I didn't really feel connected to her, and it never felt like the film allowed me to get to know her that well. So as much as the events are

Brothers | Film Review

While attempting to go straight, former criminal Moke's (Josh Brolin) efforts are derailed when he is reunited with his twin brother Jady (Peter Dinklage), who convinces him to join a cross-country road-trip to retrieve the score of a lifetime. I remember seeing the trailer for this a few months ago and being surprised by the actors involved, because no one seemed to be anticipating its release at all. I wasn't particularly interested in the plot, but as a fan of a few of the actors in it, I wanted to see it. And after watching the film, I understand why no one was really talking about it. But let's start with the good things! The characters are great. Jady and Moke are fun characters to spend time with, and the actors had great chemistry. If nothing else in the film felt realistic, their brotherly banter worked. At the beginning, it was funnier than I expected it to be. This unfortunately didn't last and the film got less and less funny as it went on, but for a while t
