Hey Guys x

It's the best time of the month, the time when I tell you guys all the things that I've been completely loving this month!

I love reading these posts too, because it gives me inspiration for next month's favourites! So if you've written a December favourites post, comment your link below so I can read it!

I hope you enjoy seeing what I've been loving in December!

Favourite Movie: Clown


If you didn't see yesterday's post, I got this film as a Christmas present from my mum, and we watched it literally the day after because both me and my sister thought it sounded really cool! It's basically about a man who puts on a clown costume (that he found in an empty house that he was selling - he's a realtor/estate agent) for his son's birthday party. However, when the party is over, he discovers that he can't get the costume off. But the longer he wears it, the more he feels himself changing. And the more hungry he gets...
If you're a fan of horror, definitely watch this film!

Favourite TV Show: Keeping Up With The Kardashians


I know a lot of people will be completely against watching this, but it is definitely my guilty pleasure, I love it! Their lives are so interesting, and it's just so weird to see how they live! Like the time when Kendall flew to Vegas without her parent's permission to get a tattoo that he dad didn't want her to get when she was like 17! They're completely crazy and so entertaining!

Favourite Song: 25 Album
 
I am loving this album so much right now that I couldn't pick just one song! Honestly, if you haven't listened yet, listen right now because I can't even explain how much I love it!
 
Favourite YouTuber: Zoe Sugg
 
This month, as well as Vlogmas, Zoe has also done '24 Days of Zoella' where she did a main channel video as well as a vlog every day. I just thought she did really well, because it must have taken her so much time to plan out and complete, and all of the videos were great!
 
Favourite Game: Episodes (Demi Version)

My sister introduced me to this game and I love it! You basically start out as a singer who posts songs on YouTube, then you eventually end up going on tour with Demi Lovato. It's such an interesting game, particularly if you're a fan of Demi!

Favourite Music Artist: Adele


I've already spoken about how much I love her album, so there's not much more I can say apart from the fact that she's amazing!

Favourite Celebrity: Jeremy Renner


I watched the film 'Kill The Messenger' yesterday, which starred him, and he was amazing in it. He played a journalist caught up in a scandal after revealing that the CIA had something to do with a drug... thing. The premise of what they did was a bit confusing but it was such a great film, and it was a true story, which made it even more good, and scary, than it already was! Plus, I have a soft spot for Jeremy, I have for ages, I just love him!

Favourite YouTube Video: Not The John Lewis Advert


This is a sketch by Hazel Hayes, and without giving any spoilers, when you first watch it, it looks like an amazing Christmas advert. However, this isn't necessarily the case... Now go and watch it!

Psycho | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up was a highly anticipated re-watch! This is one of the films on the bucket list that I waited to watch because I love it so much and didn't want to complete it too quickly. This is one of my absolute favourite horror movies, and for very good reason - it's probably the most iconic horror movie to ever exist! As far as Hitchcock movies go, Vertigo was on the list and when I wrote a post on it, I mentioned that there were other Hitchcock movies I would have preferred to watch. And while I would have loved Rear Window or The Birds to be on the list too, Psycho is the best of the best. If there was only one horror movie on the list, it should be this one. It's iconic for so many reasons but one that stood out to me immediately during this re-watch was the score. The use of sound is amazing here - the way it's used to manipulate the audience's feelings, to set the tone and to highlight important moments. The use of sound during the shower scene, for example, is ic

Dr Strangelove | 100 Movies Bucket List

My next watch for the Bucket List was another first-timer! I had never really heard of this film before seeing it on the list, I had no idea what it was about, and the only thing about it that appealed to me was the short runtime.  I kind of knew immediately that this wouldn't be one I'd particularly enjoy. While there are things about it to appreciate, like the cinematography, the originality and the acting, for my personal tastes it just wasn't something I vibed with. My favourite thing about this bucket list challenge is getting to experience films that I otherwise never would have watched, and this is definitely one of those. Because there are so many genres that I never really think about watching unless they're nominated in the current Oscars cycle, so it's been really nice to experience watching a whole bunch of films that never would have crossed my path otherwise. But again, as much as I appreciate the film being on the list, and as glad as I am that I'

Schindler's List | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up for the bucket list was a first time watch. I'd heard of this film before but I'd never really looked into what it was about or had any desire to watch it. It was one of the most intimidating ones on the list, which is probably why I didn't watch it sooner. But once I knew what it was about I was really interested in it. And thankfully, it wasn't as intimidating as I thought it would be. The story is an incredible one, and I didn't know it was true until I was sitting down to watch the film. Everything about it is really well done - the direction, the writing, the acting, not only does it feel authentic, but it feels like everyone involved was really passionate about the story. It was really thought-provoking to watch this after seeing 'The Pianist' and looking at two stories set in similar times and circumstances through different points of view. It's not an easy watch, but it's definitely worth seeing. I'm really glad it was on the li

His Three Daughters | Film Review

  Estranged sisters Katie (Carrie Coon), Christina (Elizabeth Olsen) and Rachel (Natasha Lyonne) reunite to care for their dying father. I was looking forward to this film when I first heard about it. The premise seemed interesting and I'm a fan of the actors involved so I knew at the very least I'd like it. And while I did like it, I had kind of hoped I would love it, but my feelings about it ended up being quite neutral. One thing I did love was the dialogue. It was written so well and felt like a play, and after reading that it was a loose reimagining of King Lear (my favourite Shakespeare play), that made sense. The screenplay for this film is great! With this, it's worth noting that the film is very dialogue-heavy and takes place in pretty much one location, so if that's not your thing, you probably won't love this one. But for me that was one of the things that made it enjoyable. The acting was amazing - Coon, Olsen and Lyonne play off each other really well a

Louise Pentland Inspires Me

I have wanted to write this post for so long! I'm so glad to finally be writing it! But first of all, let me just apologise for not posting last night, due to an array of factors that left me feeling a bit shitty. Anyway, back to Louise. I first watched Louise after seeing her with her best friend Zoe (aka Zoella) and I didn't instantly love her. She seemed so bubbly and confident, and just so different from me. So I wasn't sure about her, but I still decided to watch some of her videos and give her a chance. I then fell in love with her after watching her 'Draw My Life' For me, when I am watching YouTubers, I am 100% fully aware that I am a viewer who knows nothing about them, which is why I don't really judge them. But watching Louise's 'Draw My Life' really opened her up to me. I won't go into too much detail, but she talks about the death of her mother, as well as the abuse that she suffered due to her first step-mother, how sh
