March Favourites! | 2016

Hey Guys x

I can't believe it's time for another 'Favourites' post, it feels like only last week I wrote the last one!

Anyway, as usual, I'll be showing you some of my favourite things this month - I hope that some of my favourites can become your favourites too!

Favourite Movie 1: The Proposal


I can't believe it's taken me so long to see this film! I'd heard good things about it, but only watched it myself this week! For a rom-com, I was surprised at how much 'com' there actually was. Both of these characters are hilarious, and it was the smallest, most insignificant things that had me rolling on the floor with laughter. Definitely check out this film if you haven't already seen it! After I write this post, I'm definitely going to watch it again!

Favourite Movie 2: Deadpool


Since May last year, I've been really into superhero movies, particularly Marvel movies, so when this came out, I was really excited to see it, especially when I found out that it would have swearing and explicit scenes etc - it's basically the Marvel movie that I've been waiting for! Deadpool as a character is amazing - basically he's a super... person. He's not a villian, but he certainly isn't a hero! He kills people and makes jokes and swears and basically f**ks shit up, and I love him! He might actually be one of my favourite Marvel characters ever! And Ryan Reynolds was born to play him, honestly, it's amazing!

Favourite TV Show: Recess


I don't care how sad this is - I've been reliving my childhood recently and I've only just remembered how amazing Recess was! Honestly, I love reminiscing over the different episodes and it really makes me feel really young again. Especially when I found out that they gang were 9 years old! I mean, 9? Really? They seemed so much older back then! But either way, they're definitely still as cool as they were!

Favourite Song: Piece by Piece (Idol Version)


I saw Kelly Clarkson sing this on American Idol a few weeks ago, and immediately fell in love with the song. It's basically about her husband restoring her faith in men after her father was absent from her life. It has such a positive message with just the right amount of emotion to get me completely hooked! I can't stop listening to this!

Favourite YouTuber: Hazel Hayes


I know that I talk about Hazel all the time, but I can't help it because she's so amazing! She uploaded her February 2016 TOTM (time of the month - a monthly vlog segment) on Sunday and I went through a whole range of emotions while watching it, from sadness, to happiness and everything in between, pausing every so often to allow the fits of laughter that came from either Hazel or someone in her hilarious group of friends. I am so inspired by this woman and can't wait to see how the rest of her year will play out!

Favourite Game: Episodes (Demi Edition)


I love this little interactive game so much, and I'm really excited that it's beginning to update again! This game is basically what would happen if you won a competition and went on tour with Demi Lovato and her band for two weeks. Then, you explore what happens after that, and it just gets better and better!

Favourite Celebrity: Ryan Reynolds


If you couldn't tell already by looking at my movie choices, I am all about Ryan Reynolds this month! After I saw Deadpool, I just fell completely head-over-heels and have since been trying to watch as many of his movies as humanly possible! You could probably say that I'm just a little bit obsessed... but only a little! I was surprised at how genuinely funny he is, which I didn't expect. But also, just how genuine he is. I always say this about celebrities that I fall for, but he's just such a lovely guy and I can't wait to finish his filmography!

Favourite YouTube Video: February | TOTM 2016

This was a bit obvious, and I won't spend too long on it because I've already spoken about how much I love Hazel and her TOTM videos, but it was really great to watch. At the start, Hazel is packing up her home to move in with Dodie, and it's interesting to see how emotional she gets. But by the end, you can see how better this is for her. I just think these videos are a great way to document the month and I'm excited for her to continue with them!

Thank you for reading!

    I am SO obsessed with Demi's game! I hate that I have to wait 3 hours but that's probably a good time for a break! :) I love the proposal as well! Great post!

    I loved Deadpool too, Ryan Reynolds was so perfect for the role I can't wait for the next one! And I completely forgot about Recess I used to love watching it! x

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

-

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

-

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
