Hey Guys x

It's the second 'Favourites' post of the year, let's get into it!

Favourite Film: Bad Samaritan

I've already written a review of this film,which you can read HERE. But if you get the chance to see this film, definitely watch it because it's so great, and so underrated!

Favourite TV Show (1): It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

I'm binge-watching this right now, as I write a few blog posts. It's on Netflix, and I go through phases of loving it and then not really watching it. But every time I put it on, I fall in love with it all over again. It's the best type of comedy, where the characters have no morals and are actively as offensive as they can be - which is refreshing when a lot of TV shows try to do the opposite. All the current seasons are on Netflix so definitely watch the first season and see what you think!

Favourite TV Show (2): Grey's Anatomy

I am obsessed with this show! I always am, but particularly right now. It's on Amazon Prime, and I've been watching it as often as I can, trying to get in as many episodes as possible because I really want to know what's going to happen next. Watch the pilot and you'll immediately become obsessed, but just know that this obsession will completely take over your life!

Favourite Song(s): I Say No and Seventeen



When Carrie Hope Fletcher was in the musical 'Heathers', the cast recorded the songs for a cast album. Before the album came out, Carrie uploaded the videos of the songs 'I Say No' and 'Seventeen' to her YouTube channel. The whole album is amazing, and you should definitely listen to every song! But if you can't, or don't want to, definitely check out these two.

Favourite Game: Choices

This is a game that I've spoken about many times on the blog. It's making an appearance once again because recently the makers/writers of the games have been consistently creating amazing things. Their new games are so well written, and I am completely obsessed!

Favourite Music Artist: Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper
Even if you didn't watch the Oscars, you probably heard about this amazing performance of 'Shallow' from 'A Star Is Born'. It's one of my favourite movies from last year, and these are two of my favourite artists. Everything about this was perfect and if you haven't seen it, then you should watch it now!

Favourite Actor: Ellen Pompeo

Aka Dr. Meredith Grey. I am obsessed with the show, and an obsession with Grey's Anatomy comes with an obsession with Ellen Pompeo. Not only has she been the head of a huge show (the longest running TV medical drama) for 14 years, but she is completely outspoken about her support and work with women and people of colour, and I think that she's amazing.

Random Favourites

 Podcasts

I have been really into Podcasts lately, and I really need to find more to listen to! Right now, I regularly listen to: 'Directionally Challenged' by Candice King and Kayla Ewell, 'Shagged, Married, Annoyed' by Chris and Rosie Ramsay and 'Wonder Women' by Carrie Hope Fletcher and Celinde Schoenmaker.

Road House (2024) | Film Review

-
Image
When ex-UFC fighter Dalton (Jake Gyllenhaal) takes a job as a bouncer at a roadhouse, he soon finds that his past is quickly catching up to him. I've never seen the original Road House, and when I put this one on I wasn't really planning to review it, but I found myself really getting into it. I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Both the characters and the story were a lot more engaging and compelling than I thought they would be. The story sucked me in right from the beginning and I was interested the whole way through. The cast is great, but Jake Gyllenhaal completely carries the film and plays the character of Dalton really well. Again, I can't compare his performance to the original, but I really like the character. The fight scenes, which are pretty much what the film is about, are done really well. They're entertaining, but they also do a good job of moving the story forward. I think the reason I liked the film so much was because I didn't take it

Wonka | Film Review

-

Young Willy Wonka (Timothée Chalamet) tries to follow his dreams to become a respected chocolatier, despite opposition at every turn . This film was never particularly high on my 'to-watch' list, but it was always on my radar, so I'm glad I've finally seen it. I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would, but I still definitely had problems with it! For a start, while I love the fact that it was a musical, I didn't actually like any of the actual songs. None of them really stood out (except the one that's already known) and having only seen the film yesterday, I can't remember any of them. In fact, while the songs didn't hurt the film, I also don't feel like they were completely necessary. I would have liked the film the same amount if it hadn't been a musical. Wonka is a really charming character, and Chalamet plays him really well. In fact, the entire cast is great - definitely the best thing about the film by a mile. The relationship b

Scarface (1983) | 100 Movies Bucket List

-

Next up for the Bucket List was another first-time watch! I'd seen the original 1932 film years ago and really liked it, but I never got around to watching this (undoubtedly more popular) version, so I'm glad it was on the list. I really really liked this movie. I'm not sure if I like it more than, or the same as the original, but I definitely had a great time with it. One thing about finally seeing all these classic movies is seeing how much impact they've had on pop culture, and this film is definitely no exception. It's so quotable, there are so many iconic images, and it's one that everyone should watch if they haven't seen it before. The most talked-about aspect of this film is probably the violence, and that's so interesting to see. Not only the way it's spoken about, but also the difference between violence in older films like this and newer releases. I personally thought the violence was done well, and while probably not all of it was strictl

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

-

Hey Guys x Today's post might come out as more of a rant, which I'm OK with because I haven't ranted about something in a while! Last year, I started watching the show '8 Simple Rules' when it started playing on Comedy Central. It originally came on between 2002 and 2005 but I didn't watch it when it was first on. Anyway, I really got into it. There were only three seasons, so it was over before I wanted it to be. And I loved this show, and I still love it. Comedy Central doesn't play it anymore but if it did I would dive right back into it because I love a good sitcom. However, I have a major gripe with a plotline of the show, that got more prominent in season 2/3. Let me just explain the characters a bit, so you know who I'm taking about in case you never watched it. The show revolves around a family, Paul and Cate Hennessy, and their children Bridget, Kerry and Rory. In the second season, the father in the show died (due

The Matrix | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up for the Bucket List was a first-time watch. This is one that I had obviously heard of but knew next to nothing about. I found that it took a long time for me to connect with the story, and even then, while the film was interesting to watch, I never felt particularly invested in it. There were a lot of recognisable, iconic moments that I appreciated, and I get how much of an impact it had on sci-fi (and probably movies in general), but I don't know if it was for me. I somewhat enjoyed it, I understood everything that happened, but never felt connected, and didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. It could just be that I need to re-watch it, and I probably will, but for a first watch, I didn't take to it as much as I wanted to. But that being said, I'm glad I finally watched it!
