January 2017 Favourites
January
is over, and we are already in month 2 of 2017 (wasn’t it NYE like a week ago?)
which means is it’s finally time for me to start my new post series. I am
always seeing other bloggers posting about their “Monthly favourites” where
they talk about some of the new things they have been loving each month, and I wanted
to do something similar.
iBoy
I
am starting off with two of my Netflix favourites which came out in January. Number
one is a 90-minute film called iBoy, starring Bill Milner and Game of Thrones’
Maisie Williams.
It
centres around Tom who wakes up from his coma to find he has pieces of his
smartphone embedded inside his brain. These pieces give him a new superpower
which he uses to take on the gangs living on his estate, and get revenge on
those who attacked his friend Lucy.
I
really enjoyed this film, and feel like it perfectly blends the sci-fi genre
with the real-life elements of gang culture. I would definitely recommend that
you go and watch it.
A Series of Unfortunate Events
The
second of my Netflix favourites from this month is the adaptation of Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate
Events, which has been turned into an eight-episode series.
I
have to be honest and say that I had neither read the books or seen the
previous film adaptation before watching this series.
I
loved it, though!
It
was done in a unique, cartoony style and the way the story was told was also
brilliant, with Neil Patrick Harris absolutely the star of the show. His flamboyance
and flair as Count Olaf were creepy and yet oddly enthralling. Another brilliant
show, and again I recommend you watch it.
Ed Sheeran released TWO new singles
I
spoke about this during last week’s Trent’s Tracks, but January 2017 marked the
triumphant return of Ed Sheeran.
He
came back and dropped not one, but TWO new singles which have soared to the top
of the charts around the world. This year is set to be another monumental year
for the guy, and if these two singles are anything to go by, then I cannot wait
for the rest of the album to come out in March.
