Top Movies of 2016

I love looking back at the last 12 months deciding out of the many movies that were released in 2016 which of them will make my Top 10 for the year. Its hard because often I will write my list and then remember a movie that I had totally forgotten about whoops!

So here we go in no particular order my top 10 movies for 2016;

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

When I found out that JK was going to be doing another movie and she decided to base it off one of the school text books I was over the moon and so began the countdown to the release of the film. 

I instantly feel in love with this movie it was like being back in the magical world again but this time surrounded by new faces and places it was amazing. I am obsessed with the movie and cannot wait for it to come out on DVD. Plus Eddie was the perfect choice to play Newt.

Me Before You

I have never read the book before watching this and all I had heard was great things about the book so it is currently on my bookshelf waiting to be read but the film is incredible the one screen chemistry is just perfection. Yes at the same time its such a sad movie but it was very well done.

Zootopia

Although its name was changed for the UK release it will always be Zootopia to me. Disney have done it again with this movie that is doe sure full of meaning and moral stories about being able to do anything you want even if you are a bunny ;) I just love the characters, settings and the hidden Easter eggs in this animation.

Moana

I can honestly say its been an amazing year for Disney with both they're animation and live actions movies and the latest Princess instalment didn't disappoint. Just the whole movie had that feel good feeling with a cracking soundtrack that has been on repeat ever since!

Finding Dory
The long awaited Finding Nemo spin off did not disappoint! Who doesn't love Dory, Nemo and Marlin? And after 13 long years we finally had what everyone was waiting for and it was perfect and had such a great range of new characters! I love Gerald haha!

In my opinion I think it was actually better than Finding Nemo!!!

Captain America:Civil War

I LOVE Captain America he is one of my favourite superheros from the Marvel series and I have loved pretty much every Marvel movie but this one just tops it for me and is my favourite. What I love about they're movies are they aren't over the top serious and have so much comedy in them as well. Especially the scene at the airport where they are fighting Spiderman and Ant man just crack me up. 

Divergent Series: Allegiant
Best one out of the series so far in my opinion and just a great collection of movies that I could re watch over and over again and never get bored. I love how the dynamics change in this movie and how the story takes a different turn unlike the other movies. I cannot wait for part one of the final movie to come out although I'm not 100% sure if its this year or next?

I just love Tris and Four together!!!

Secret Lift of Pets

I have been waiting for this movie since I saw the original trailer way back in 2015 and have always wondered why it had taken them so long to show it in the cinemas but once it was released I was very excited to go and see it. Who doesn't love a movie about pets? And what they get up to when they're parents aren't home! I wonder if they will do a second one!

The BFG
This is just such a good feel film for any age and there is just something about watching this movie that makes me feel really happy and cheery. I loved reading Roald Dahl books as a Kid so when I found out they were releasing this as a live action movie I was over the moon. I loved how the BFG actually looked like the actor Mark Rylance he just looked so good.

The Conjuring 2
I absolutely love The Conjuring and I love a good horror movie as well so when I found out they were doing a Conjuring 2 with the same cast playing Ed and Lorraine Warren I couldn't wait and to then find out it was based on one of my favourite stories "The Enfield Haunting" and was going to be filmed in the UK it made it even better! Another movie where I actually think it was better than the first one and made me jump so many times in the cinema.

There are still so many movies that I loved in 2016 and that didn't make it in to my Top 10 list but this year these are some of my favourites, What movies have you seen this year that you really enjoyed?

My Top Five: Concerts/Gigs

So this weeks topic is my Top Five concerts and gigs that I've been to. I used to do a lot more than I do now If I am honest because since moving out I've become a bit more strapped for cash which is a shame. I usually go on all my adventures with my best friend Samiee aka Blondie hehe!

1. Katy Perry - California Dreams Tour - 1st April 2011 and October 19th 2011
I have been a massive Katy Cat since she made her debut back in 2008 even though I didn't mange to see her 1st tour Hello Katy as I was young and didn't have a job to buy the tickets I have always been a lover of her music so to get to see her twice in one year was amazing! What was so great about this tour was that even though it was the same she changed her outfits from the first time I saw her!

What is so great about this tour is that its all Katy, her imagination come to life. It has a great story line and great costumes, characters and even with seeing it twice I didn't get bored!

2. Katy Perry - Prismatic World Tour - 23rd May 2014
So when Katy brought out her new album Prism I knew already before that I would be getting tickets to see her on tour regardless of where it is I was going. Katy's style of music has changed since her first two albums but it has changed for the better.

When she announced she was having a special reflection section that was it I was having those tickets and it was so worth it. I would have paid for a meet and greet but once again she didn't do one which was a shame!

This tour definitely topped the California Dreams tour regardless of  how good it was this one was better. The show was split in to 4 different sections which had different themes and features selections of the songs. Once again it was like being inside Katys head she has such an awesome Imagination and made the experience so much fun just a shame she isn't doing a 2nd stint as I would love to go again!

3. Miley Cyrus - Bangerz Tour - May 2014
This has to be one of the craziest tours I've been to, total madness but so brilliant! I've always been a massive Miley fan even before she changed her personality and looks and its never really bothered me because her music has always been good.

I absolutely loved her album Bangerz so to get to see her in the UK on her short tour was an absolute treat and worth every penny regardless of what people think of her!

4.  Sam Smith - October 2014
I was so lucky to manage to get tickets for this tour! Due to popular demand he added an extra London date for the end of his tour in his home town so was able to pick up some tickets for my birthday. All I can say is wow hearing him live in concert was one of the best things ever, he has such an incredible voice and vocal range and the way he interacted with the crowd was great.

He didn't need flashy back ground drops, story or props his voice was just enough and I cannot wait to see him again when he releases a new album.

5. Blue -  October 2013
Another blast from the past aye, Big fan of Blue and always have been and after bringing out they're new album Roulette which was really good slight change in style of music but all the songs were great and catchy. My bestie hadn't actually listened to the album before we went but what was so great about this tour was that they managed to play they're whole new album along with loads of classics.

Next Up: My Top Five Movies

Top Movies of 2015

So this has become a regular thing for me to do every year now, so I thought why not let this be my first post of the year.

There have been some incredible films out in 2015 which I have managed to watch at the cinema but last year I didn't manage to go to see as many films as I usually did due to being busy and money costs.

But luckily some of these films are slowly making they're way on to Netflix, Amazon and Now TV. I have a list of about 30 I still want to see at some point so when they're out I shall make my way through the list.

1. Star Wars: The Force Awakens:

OK so I am a newbie to Star Wars I am one of these people that have never watched it and only watched it a few months ago because my boyfriend wanted me to. I am going to be honest they're good but I wouldn't rush to watch them again.

But as for The Force Awakens ... oh my! It was incredible and moving forwards I could be a massive fan of the films!

2. The Peanuts Movie

3. The Good Dinosaur
Talk about emotional? I could have easily cried in this movie at least 3 times and seemed really emotional and complex for a children's movie but at the same time the story was incredible and very powerful.

4. Ant Man

5. Ex Machina

6. Inside Out
This has to be one of my favourite movies from 2015! Bing Bong Bing Bong!!!!

7. Jurassic World

8. Avengers Age of Ultron

9. Cinderella

The Disney live actions movies have always been very good but there is that bit of you that worries with how many they are releasing at the moment whether they will be that good.

Cinderella was exceptional and Lily James makes the best Cinderella and I think that is what makes the whole movie.

10. Insurgent

I am gutted that I haven't managed to see the new Hunger Games yet with Christmas and going on Holiday I have been a bit short of money. If its still in the cinema maybe ill go in the new few weeks if its still on.

Whats you favourite movie from 2015?
