January Summary

Hey guys!

So I'm starting this new thing where I write a post at the end of every month about books,movies, tv shows and all that shit that interested me each month.

Let's start with January!

This month was the Channing Tatum month. I fell in love with the guy and watched a lot of his movies! Like it happened with many, many actors before him.

Here are the movies I watched:

1. What If : A great movie starring Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan. It's one o these movies where everything is quiet and beautiful and you're just amazed by everything. Totally recommend.
2. Blended: Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. Drew is not a very good actress, nor is most of the kids. Meh.
3. Just Go With It: Another Adam Sandler movie, but this ti,e with Jennifer Aniston. It's funny at the beginning but then it gets boring and similar to any other rom com.
4. Magic Mike: Here were it started with The Tatum. I loved the movie for three reasons: 1) Channing is such an amazing dancer you won't be able to take off your eyes no matter what your sexual preferences are 2) It's actually a great story 3) Matt Fucking Bomer.
5. Magic Mike XXL: It is so good, more funny material than the first one, Loved it for the same reasons listed above.
6. 21 Jump Street: Now THIS is a really funny movie. Starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. It gave me a great laugh and the chemistry between the actors was amazing! Totally rewatchable.
7. The Girl On The Train: Starring my queen Emily Blunt. I was so looking forward to seeing this movie and it was worth it. Amazing and surprising.
8. 22 Jump Street: I laughed a lot. It was just good from the first 15 minute and it just made me laugh so much and that is why I consider it - and 21 Jump Street- as the greatest comedy movie I've ever seen since The Heat.
9. Dear John: Great romance by Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried. It made me cry a little. I don't like romantic movies so much but I LOOOOVVVVE romantic movies that make me cry.
10. White House Down: Starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Fox. It's kinda cool!
11. Foxcatcher: One of the greatest movies I watched during the month. Steve Carell, Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo were AMAZING.
12. Max: I watched this on the plain because the trailer said that someone who worked on Marley And Me worked on this too, but sadly it was not as good.
13. Saving Mr. Banks: It was my father's recommendation. A great film based on a good story played by Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson.
14. The Return Of Xander Cage: Don't waste your time or money on this movie. Don't be a fool like the people before you (me).


As for the books, I finished reading a book called عن التعصب (translated to: about fanaticism) by Mohammed Al-Ghazaly. It's a small book that talks about religious intolerance in three religions.
Also started reading a novel called If I stay, which I have no idea what it is genuinely about, but I'm getting there.

I haven't watch a lot of tv lately, only starting rewatching The Office for the forth time because I deserve some laugh but also because I love hurting myself in the heart. Please look forward to The John Krasinski month that happens to be called February too.
EDIT: I watched SKAM! YES! 3 seasons in less than a week and GOD I neeeeeed the 4th season already!!!!

Hopefully this time next month, I'll have already received my bachelor degree certificate!
