Movies
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
Synopsis: A Portokalos family secret brings the beloved characters back together for an even bigger and Greeker wedding.
I thought this sequel was so cute! My Big Fat Greek Wedding has always been one of my favorite movies and I liked how the plot was set up for the sequel. Though it isn’t as strong as the original movie, I enjoyed that it kept a lot of the original characters and elements of the first film. Nia Vardalos is a gem!
Almost Christmas
Synopsis: This film follows a dysfunctional family that comes together for the holidays for the first time since their mother’s death.
In need of a feel-good film, my mom and I headed to the movies to see Almost Christmas and we both walked away with smiles on our faces. While this movie is a laugh out loud film, it also blends in some serious tones as each family member struggles with their own issues. All in all, it’s a film that reminds you that home is where the heart is.
TV
Hope Springs
Synopsis: Hope Springs is a British television comedy-drama series following the lives of four female ex-cons in hiding following a multi million-pound robbery.
Gahh! This show was so good and I’m so mad they cancelled it after one season, because it has so much potential!!! But even as a standalone series with only nine episodes (which are well crafted), I still recommend this show. Alex Kingston along with the other actresses in this show do a great job of pulling off their characters. The show is fun and comedic!
Sherlock: The Abominable Bride
Synopsis: The Abominable Bride is a special episode of Sherlock which depicts the characters of the show in an alternative timeline; in the Victorian London setting of the original stories by Arthur Conan Doyle.
Being a Sherlock fan, I couldn’t resist watching this holiday special. As with the rest of the series, the cinematography is excellent and I liked seeing Cumberbatch and Freeman portray their roles in a Victorian setting. It has lots of action and suspense to keep viewers entertained.
Home
Yankee Candle- Christmas Cookie
One of my favorite holiday candles! It smells like a mixture of sugar cookies, warm vanilla, and frosting!
Music
One Step by Hyolyn
Out of the many k-pop songs I’ve had on repeat all last month, I’ve been non-stop listening to Hylolyn’s first mini album It’s Me. Ever since she released her first solo album Love & Hate, I’ve been waiting to hear more music from her. One Step is a 90’s R&B track ballad that has a smooth sound. But while I’m enjoying her new music, I still can’t wait till SISTAR has a comeback.
Greedy by Ariana Grande
Greedy is an energetic, upbeat dance track off of her Dangerous Woman album. Once I heard that funky bass line, I was hooked into the song. It’s a fun track and it makes you want to get up and dance!
Pentatonix is back with another fabulous Christmas album. I love all of the songs on here and they’ve been getting me into the holiday spirit. I have been enjoying their own take on Christmas favorites as well as some of the original songs that they included on this album.
And that concludes “My Favorite Things” for November! What are some of your favorite things for this month? Comment below!
