Here are the things that made my 2015 amazing!




For Dakota Johnson, It's Never "Just A Minute" (Vogue Magazine):
                                  Dakota came onto my radar in such big ways this year. She's subtly chic and the ultimate cool girl you want to just hang out with. I can't wait to see more of her next year between How To Be Single, A Bigger Splash, and more. Here's where she first hooked me. In this simple short film, One Minute, where being chilling has never looked so good.


Ellie Goulding's Delirium
My love for Ellie Goulding knows no bounds. Delirium is filled with powerful anthems that never let up, make me want to dance, and lyrically they're absolutely stunning.


The DUFF

One of the biggest surprises of the year was how much I loved this film. I knew it'd be worth it for Mae Whitman and Robbie Amell, but wow, it's like a revamped version of Can't Buy Me Love. It's immediately a new favorite.


Netflix Originals
DaredevilMaster of NoneThe Unbreakable Kimmy SchmidtSense8 and Jessica Jones have all been obsessions of mine throughout the year. One of the things I love most about the Netflix originals so far is that they're all so diverse, yet they all have hooked me and made me want the binge to never end.


Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials



By far one of my favorite YA book series, made into even better films, and I can't wait for The Death Cure. There are movies that reinvigorate you, inspire you, make you want to go out there and fight the good fight; this is one of those films. Wes Ball made a sequel that improves upon the first, expanded the world, and leaves me wanting so much more in all of the best ways.




What are your favorites from this year? Let me know in the comments!

Happy New Year!

Happy Sunday!




Ready for the Fall TV season to kick into high gear? Check out my Pilot Watch post featuring Scream Queens, Minority Report, and Limitless.

Let's get to this week's Picks and Flicks!



Rudimental - Lay It All On Me ft. Ed Sheeran (YouTube): This song is fantastic and so uplifting. I could listen to it all day (and I do).


The Worst Types of Roommates (Whine About It): I have experienced nearly every single one of these firsthand and Matt's right: it is THE WORST.


Take a Break: Chateau Marmutt (The Late Late Show)

 Just when I thought I couldn't love James Corden more he goes and does this.


Watch Ryan Reynolds try to build an IKEA crib (GQ): Ryan Reynolds is quickly becoming one of my favorites. First The Proposal now this. Warn a girl!


Disclosure - Magnets featuring Lorde (YouTube): Like all of Lorde's songs I'm mesmerized and I can't quite pinpoint why and I'm okay with that.


Celebs Explain Netflix & Chill On The Emmys Red Carpet (BuzzFeed)
                                I feel Jackie Cruz on a spiritual level on this one.


Netflix Study Shows How Long It Takes To Get Hooked By A TV Show (Slash Film): I found this super interesting, because some shows it takes me an episode to get hooked (House of Cards) and others take me almost a full season (Arrow).



Tune in this week for my Scorch Trials review and The October Slate!

Let's get to it!



July 1st: Magic Mike XXL
                                 I mean...do I really need to explain myself on this one?


July 9th - 12th: San Diego International Comic-Con



















The ultimate fan experience. I am determined to one day get tickets and have the best weekend in San Diego ever, but until then I'll be glued to my computer freaking out over every panel.


July 17th: Ant-Man
                            I'm a huge Marvel Studios fan and Paul Rudd just adds to this package.


July 17th: Trainwreck

I have a newfound love for Amy Schumer and Trainwreck looks hysterical. Love the premise and Bill Hader is my type of leading man.


July 17th: Wet Hot American Summer on Netflix
                                 I wasn't a viewer of the original film until recently, but seeing these actors all together is bound to be amazing.


July 21st: Pretending to be Erica by Michelle Painchaud
Super intriguing premise that I'm psyched to get lost in!


July 24th: Paper Towns
                                There are those films that bring a smile to my face even with just a trailer; this is one of those films. I love everything about this: John Green, Cara and Nat, two of my favorite screenwriters (Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber)...basically, this is my number one pick for July.


July 29th: Vacation
                                Well, wouldn't you know it! Nostalgia and hijinks are two of my favorite things. Plus, Ed Helms is the best.


July 31st: Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation
                                One of my not-so-guilty pleasures. Love the seamless blend of action and comedy brought by Cruise's new team introduced in the last film.


July 31st: The End of Tour

I've mentioned before how much I love Jesse Eisenberg's work and I'll be checking this out for sure.
