February Favourites!

-
Hey Guys x

I meant to put this up yesterday but I left it really late before I wrote it and then I thought there was no point, so I decided to write and upload it today instead.

So, I have been loving a lot of things throughout February and I can't wait to recommend some of my favourite things to you!

Favourite Film: Beauty and the Beast
 
I have been in complete Disney mode this month! My favourite Disney movie at the moment is Beauty and the Beast and I have been watching it so much lately that it has to be my favourite February movie! I assume most people have seen this, but if you haven't seen it, watch it now! Even if you have seen it, just watch it again!
 
Favourite TV Show: Brooklyn 99
 
I love this show so much! I know that a lot of people are getting into this now, but I loved it from the first season last year and I was so excited for the next one to start. Yes, I know it's another 'cop show' and we already have a tonne of these on TV/Netflix at the moment, but trust me, this is different (in the best way!)
 
Favourite Song: Take Me To Church
 (I couldn't find a picture of the cover that was the right size)
 
I have a weird thing with music. When I like a certain song or artist, I REALLY like them. So when other people try to introduce me to new music, I ignore them because I'm into one specific amazing artist at a time. Then, a few months later, I hear the song that someone was trying to introduce to me and fall in love with it long after everyone else in the world has already established how amazing it is and moved on. This happens with all of my music, especially this song! I ignored it for so long and am now completely in love with it!
 
Favourite YouTuber: Hazel Hayes
 
As you can probably tell, I have been watching a lot more less-mainstream YouTubers currently, and am absolutely loving them! It's always been weird to me why vloggers have so many more subscribers than filmmakers as they are all so talented, particularly Hazel Hayes. I have been binge-watching her videos and I really love her. She's amazing!
 
Favourite Game: GTA5
 
I know that I've probably mentioned this before, but as more YouTubers begin to play this on their gaming channels, it makes me want to play it more and more! I just like the idea of the game and I think it's a really good way to waste time that could be spent revising! (I'm joking!) But obviously, it had a restriction for a reason, so if you're too young to play it, don't play it!
 
Favourite Music Artist: Sam Smith
 
He's won grammy's, he's won BRIT's, what's not to love about Sam Smith right now? I have 'You're not the only one' on repeat because I love it so much! I have yet to buy his album though, probably because I know that I will never stop listening to it!
 
Favourite Celebrity: Madonna
 
Yes, she is here because she fell off the stage at the BRITS. That fall was legendary, and the way that she got up and continued after it was completely amazing. If that was me, I would have just crawled off of the stage and hit my face from the world for the next 10 years. But no, she got back up and did an amazing performance. Good for her!
 
Favourite YouTube Video: Rocks That Bleed
 
Bertie Gilbert and Jack Howard released a short film last week, and it's completely amazing! Because I love Jack, I thought I would be completely biased. However, I completely forgot that it was him that I was watching because both Jack and Bertie acted amazingly. I literally felt like I was watching a really intense drama movie. Everything about it was so professional and it reiterates my feelings about vloggers vs filmmakers. I love vloggers and filmmakers as much as each other, I just wish that they were appreciated in the same way by YouTube subscribers, because these people need more subscribers! Their talent is unbelievable!
 
Thank you for reading!

Venom: The Last Dance | Film Review

While on the run, Eddie Brock and Venom (Tom Hardy) are pursued by a dangerous military organisation. But when aliens from Venom's home world come to Earth, the pair have to make a devastating decision that will change their lives forever. I watched the first Venom movie when it came out years ago, didn't really like it that much, and subsequently didn't watch the second. But totally randomly last week I decided to re-watch the first movie, and ended up liking it enough to also watch the second. And as soon as I finished that, I went to the cinema to see this new one. I really liked this film - it was so much better than I thought it was going to be! My favourite thing about this franchise is the relationship between Eddie and Venom, and for me this film was the best version of the characters together. Because, while the comedic moments between the pair are still there, there's a lot more heart in this story than there has been previously, and this is especially evident

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

Book Review #138: Kill For Me, Kill For You by Steve Cavanagh

-

  After meeting by chance one evening, Amanda and Wendy realise they have something in common - they are both experiencing grief and want to make the men who destroyed their families pay. Knowing they can never exact the revenge they crave, they come up with an idea: if you kill for me, I'll kill for you... The premise of the book is deliberately vague, but I think the main idea of it is enough to give you a flavour of what the story is about. I have mixed feelings about this book. There's so many things about it that I really loved, but there are also a few things that I could have done without. To start off, the first two chapters are absolutely riveting. I feel like it took no time at all to bond and connect with the characters. Not only are the chapters exciting, but they're also really visceral. You feel like you're living in the scenes with the characters. It would have been amazing if the whole book had stayed like this. The story is told from two points of view,

Lagaan | 100 Movies Bucket List

-
Image
Of all the movies I watched for the bucket list, this one was without a doubt the hardest to track down. Thankfully I managed to find it but it was looking impossible for a while! I ended up watching a version that didn't include the musical numbers, so I had to listen to the soundtrack separately, which felt really weird. But at the same time, I don't feel like anything was missing from the story by not having the songs in it. I'd never heard of the film before, but an almost 4-hour long movie about cricket wasn't exactly enticing. Thankfully the film is a lot more interesting than it sounds! There's a lot of underlying themes, and even when the scenes are about cricket, the game isn't really the most important thing. It was really fun spending time with these characters and seeing them interact. The one thing I didn't expect from this film was for it to be so uplifting. Even though it's not entirely sunshine and rainbows, you fall into step with this g

City of God | 100 Movies Bucket List

Image
At this point in the bucket list we start getting to the films that are a bit harder to find. I had never heard of this film before seeing it on the list, and I didn't look it up before watching it (beyond searching for a platform to watch it on), so I had no idea what it was about. Sometimes when I'm watching the bucket list movies I write a couple of little notes to remind myself how I felt about it, as I don't give them full reviews. For this one, the only thing I wrote was 'harrowing' and I think that describes it well. The film doesn't shy away from anything troubling or uncomfortable, and it doesn't try to sugar-coat what the characters are going through, or what their lives were like. Apparently it's loosely based on true events and that feels really evident. Because of that, these characters feel extremely authentic. Whether you're familiar with their lives or not, you empathise and sympathise with them because it feels like you're watchi
