Hey Guys x

I was nominated for the 'Sunshine Blogger Award' by HALE, who's post you can check out here! Thank you so much HALE for the nomination, I appreciate it so much! Everyone reading needs to check out their blog because it's amazing!

The rules :
1.) Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog in your blog post.
2.) Answer the 11 questions that your nominator has asked you.
3.) Nominate 11 blogs to receive the award.
4.) Come up with 11 questions to ask the bloggers you have nominated.
5.) List the rules and include the sunshine blogger award logo in your post.

HALE's Questions
1. Who's your favourite YouTuber/actor?
At the moment, my favourite YouTuber is probably Hazel Hayes, just because all of her tweets/snapchats about the election are amazing! My favourite actor without a doubt is Chris Pine - I still have a few of his movies to watch and I'm still completely in love with him!

2. What 3 tips would you give your younger self?
Don't care about being 'the quiet girl', Spend less time worrying and more time doing things you love, Explore filmmaking (I wish I had started doing this earlier!)

3. What's your favourite TV show/series?
I have too many! If I have to pick one right now, probably Gossip Girl, or the Vampire Diaries. I recently started watching 'How To Get Away With Murder' which is really good! See, I can't pick one!

4. What's one thing you hate doing?
Going to seminars! Lectures are fine, but seminars are the worst! Any situation where I'm forced to talk is something that I hate doing, but definitely seminars!

5. What is the strangest thing that has ever happened to you?
Strange things don't really happen to me! I guess the strangest things that happen to me are when things happen in real life that I've dreamed about. Surprisingly this happens quite a lot, I'm basically psychic!

6. What's the best compliment you've ever received?
I actually don't know, which is quite sad! People compliment me in the blog comments all the time, so maybe something from there because I can't think of anything that someone's said in real life!

7. What's your star sign?
Sagittarius!

8. Do you play an instrument? 
Nope! When I was younger I dabbled in piano and guitar, and occasionally I still try to teach myself songs on the piano, but I wouldn't say I play anything.

9.)Do you believe in ghosts? 
Yes! I actually wrote a post all about this, which you can read here!

10. Stripes or plaid?
Stripes!

11. Cats or dogs?
Is it awful if I say neither? I'm definitely not an animal person!

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

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

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

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

Little Miss Sunshine | 100 Movies Bucket List

  The next bucket list pick was a much-anticipated re-watch! I left this one for the bottom half of the list, like a good few others, so I could have something to look forward to towards the end. This is such a lovely film! I was actually really surprised to see it on the bucket list. I knew it was very well-liked by both critics and fans, but I had no idea it had been nominated for (and won) Oscars, so that was a nice surprise. The comedy genre is really sparse on the list, and while this is also a drama, it's so nice to have something light-hearted here - especially because light-hearted films like this can often provoke a bigger emotional reaction than intense dramas. For me, as good as the direction and writing of the film is, the best thing about it is the characters and the actors who play them. This family feels like a real family from their first moment on screen. The characters are all written really authentically, they compliment each other and the actors had great chemis
