June Favourites! | 2015

Hey Guys x

First of all, sorry I didn't post on Friday. I was at my prom and didn't get home until 2 in the morning! But I'm going to do a whole post on my prom experience tomorrow!

Anyway, it's that time of the month again where I show you everything that I've been completely loving!

I hope some of my favourites become favourites of yours too!

Favourite Movie: Jurassic World


The last post that I did was actually a review of this film, so you can click here to see that! But I thought this film was completely amazing! Without a doubt the best film I've seen this year, and I've seen a lot of films! You don't have to see the other Jurassic Park movies to see this, which was great for me as I can't really remember them well! Everyone needs to go and see this movie!

Favourite TV Show: The Big Bang Theory


Because I've finished school, I've had a lot of free time on my hands. So over 2 days last week, I watched the whole of the latest season of this show, and completely loved every episode! I cried at least once or twice, could not stop laughing, and I'm very tempted this week to just watch all of the episodes again!

Favourite Song: Flying Without Wings


I know that this song is really really old, but I heard it in 2008 and since then, it has been one of my favourite songs ever! I've been listening to it a lot more in the last few weeks and really re-discovering the love that I had for it when I first heard it. If you've never heard it, you need to!

Favourite YouTuber: Jim Chapman


When I was revising, I would allow myself to watch one video every so often as a little break from all of the work that I needed to do. I would always go to Jim Chapman's daily vlog channel. A lot of YouTubers daily vlog, but I don't know what it is, Jim just really interests me. I like seeing all of the things that he does, and I like the fact that he's not always talking about secret meetings or secret projects (I mean, he does do them sometimes, but not nearly as much as others!), and I just think that, with him, what you see is what you get, which is nice.

Favourite Game: X Factor


As I said, I've been home a lot with not a lot to do! So I found this game the other day and I have been obsessed! It's basically a game where you plus a microphone into your wii and you sing from a choice of songs. But if you play in 'Career' mode, you play as if you have just entered the X Factor. You go from the auditions and try to get as far as possible against other contestants, while receiving the judges good and bad comments along the way. I think this game is a really good idea and it literally lasts for a few hours so it keeps boredom at bay!

Favourite Music Artist: GLEE


I have been re-watching old glee episodes with the original cast and I just think their voices are amazing. They chose really good songs to cover and some of them sound better than the original singers, which is epic!

Favourite Celebrity: Chris Pratt


Ever since I saw Jurassic World I have been completely obsessed with Chris Pratt! I mean, he's an incredible actor, which I've also seen in 'Guardians Of The Galaxy', but also, if you watch interviews with him on youtube, he's a really nice person and he's so funny! Not to mention he's the perfect husband and father! He's the whole package. And, I just have to say that he's so so gorgeous (because I couldn't finish this without complimenting his looks!).

Favourite YouTube Video: Stuff Your Mouth (With Connor Franta)

This is Tanya Burr video and it is one of her funniest videos ever! The challenge is to stuff your mouth with marshmallows and describe a YouTuber to the other person. It is designed to be funny and these two are just the perfect people to do this!

Thank you for reading.

Comment below some of your June Favourites!

Keep Smiling - Lou xx

The Usual Suspects | 100 Movies Bucket List

  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

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

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

Subservience | Film Review

While struggling with a sick wife and two children, Nick (Michele Morrone) hires an AI android called Alice (Megan Fox) to help out around the house. But when Alice becomes self-aware, Nick finds that he and his family are suddenly in danger. I've watched a few AI-based horror movies in the last month or so, so I was in the mood to give another one a shot. As I'd somewhat enjoyed the others, I thought I'd like this one too. Unfortunately, I didn't like this one much at all. For a start (and this is my fault as I've already mentioned seeing a few films with this concept recently) but the AI-gone-bad premise is no longer new. And when a film uses the concept but doesn't bring any new ideas, it starts feeling a bit stale. This one didn't really have anything new to add to that conversation, and so it didn't feel original. Having said that, I did like that it got right into the story straight away. We know the family, we know their circumstances, we know how

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
