5X5.

5 BANDS.
The Wanted- These are one of the bands of which most of their songs that they have released are all individual and unique, but simultaneously are all different.
Lawson- I like there songs because the music isn't heavy. Screamo or Heavy Metal doesn't really appeal as it makes my ears bleed. It is more relaxing.
The 1975- They have an indie vibe to them, which is good because again their music is relaxing and mellow.
Disclosure- All of there songs are insanely good. Although they're producers there music is amazing.
Rudimental- There music is similar to Disclosure.

5 SONGS.
Miley Cyrus-We Can't Stop: It's slow and relaxing. This is probably the only song by Miley Cyrus that I like.
Fuse ODG-Antenna: This song is very upbeat and immediately puts you in a good mood. It's a summery song.
Disclosure- F For You: The beat to it is just flawless.
Rudimental-You&Me: Is another song that I like because of the beat.
R.Kelly-Ignition: Old RnB is a relaxing and it's a good party song.

5 FILMS.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off- I just like the plot of the movie and it has a lot of humour in it. I just enjoy the song that he sings on the float, which is a reggae classic.
Home Alone- It's entertaining and I like how the antagonists get beaten up by a little kid. And it is during Christmas and gets you in the spirit.
The Lucky One- One of my favourite actors is the lead role and it has a good plot.
The Lion King- Is probably one of the best disney movies ever made. The story between the Father and Son is emotional and moving.
Monsters Inc- I just like the idea that it's about Monsters and we get a look inside of there world.

5 ACTORS/ ACTRESSES.
Zac Efron- I think personally, he is good looking. Also, he has such an unlimited amount of talent in every single movie that he releases.
Vanessa Hudgens- She's really pretty. Additionally, she had a wide range of talent and she can suit any character that she plays.
Will Smith- He has such a great sense of humour and is a sincere actor.
Sandra Bullock- Her acting is just impeccable. She has done diverse characters and is able to play them  amazingly.
Idris Elba- Best known for his role in 'Luther' as DCI Luther. He is such an amazing actor who is just flawless.

5 TV SHOWS.
Friends- It is a comedy. Comedy is one of my favourite genres. The characters within this show are what makes it.
White Collar- I like TV shows about FBI's chasing criminals. This is a different one to all the other shows and has a little humour embedded within it.
Luther- Is a British TV Show. About a Detective, but in the Murder Unit. This TV show has a different approach on how they layout the show. It's unique and a good show to watch that will keep you on the edge of your seats. Will not predict what's coming.

MOVIE I WATCHED OVER THE SUMMER.
Monsters University- The reason why I went to go and watch this movie because the first movie was flawless. My anticipation for the sequel to Monsters Inc was too high and I have to admit that the movie was a little dissapointing. However, I did learn things that related to the first movie. There was a fault in watching the movie, it was that the cinema screen was filled with young children. They were all noisy and it ruined the whole atmosphere of watching a movie that I've watched 12 years. The movie itself was entertaining as it was comedic in some scenes, which really appealed to the little kids.

Overall, I think the whole experience of watching this movie was disappointing. I think for me the lack of enjoyment was the younger children fidgeting and causing disruptions during the viewing. Something that really made me loose concentration was the younger child kicking the back of my chair.  If I took the option of watching this movie late at night, where the existence of children was almost unthinkable, would've allowed me to enjoy the movie a lot more than I did.
