Movie of the
Week:
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
With this article, I wanted to celebrate Christmas by sharing with
you a classic film that will get you in the mood for Christmas, but then I saw
Star Was and immediately changed my mind.
Don’t worry, I won’t give away any spoilers. This is one epic film
from beginning to end that would satisfy the most hardcore of fans. You might
have already seen the film considering it did take in a record-breaking $529
million (£355 million), which just knocks Jurassic World’s $524.9 million (£325
million) of the top spot, in its opening weekend, which is staggering. Many
people are saying, and I totally agree, that this film has a strong chance of
beating the likes of Avatar as the number one grossing film in the world,
although it still has a long way to go as the final total for Avatar is a
whopping, $2,787,965,087 (£1,873,947,349.50).
Currently, Stars Wars is the fifth highest-grossing film series of
all time, beating by the likes of, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Harry Potter, James
Bond, and Middle-Earth series consisting of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit
trilogies. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is still going strong with many more
movies set to be released over the coming few years, whereas Star Wars have two
more films to go, but if the next two films are as good as this one, if not
better, then Star Wars is going to be giving Marvel the run for its money. But
even if it doesn’t manage knock Marvel of the top spot, that doesn’t matter,
for Star Wars is still going to be one of the greatest film series of all time.
The way it has impacted day to day life is and will always be amazing.
When the next two films hit our cinema screens, I’ll make sure
that I’ve secured myself a seat.

TV Program
of the Week:
John Bishop’s Christmas Show
John Bishop returns for his third Christmas special, which guests
a plenty. From comedians to international superstars, this show will instantly
get you in the mood for Christmas. You can sit down with your family and friends
and have a great big laugh as John Bishop does what he does best. Kylie Minogue
sings one of her songs from her very first ever Christmas album, and if that
doesn’t get you in the mood, then I don’t know what will. Now available on BBC
iPlayer, if you haven’t already seen it, then go and have fun. If you have seen
it, then go and have fun all over again.

Game of the Week:
Grand Theft Auto V
Warning: Contains mature content
OK, so it’s not a game that focuses solely on Christmas, but its online
Christmas DLC does. That counts, right?
It has become a yearly tradition for GTA V to include, for the
Christmas period only – because it’s their Christmas DLC – their usual bad
costumes, masks, and other seasonal updates. If you aren’t familiar with the
game GTA V, then where have you been for the last few years? Once again, you’ve
got all the fun of GTA V and Christmas in the same place. What can be better
than that? Christmas Shopper 2: Black Friday? I don’t think so.

Video of the Week:
When I was picking the video to write about in this article, I came across three that I felt were equally as good, and I just couldn't decide on just one, so for a Christmas treat, here are three videos instead of just the one.
Animation Vs Minecraft
The person behind the popular web series, Animator Vs Animation has, in my opinion, created his best work yet. Animation Vs Minecraft tells the story of the four stick-men previous seen in the Animator Vs Animation videos take a journey through the world known by many across the globe as the popular sandbox game, Minecraft. It has an incredible story that sucked me in right from the beginning and didn't let up throughout. There is no dialogue, but, as the saying goes: A picture paints a thousand words. I seriously recommend this if you haven't already seen it.

Little Girl Mistakes Bearded Shopper for Santa Claus, Then Something Amazing Happens.
This video is cute, adorable, heart-warming, and will easily make you smile. The title describes everything that happens in the video, so I don’t really have to say much except to recommend it to you guys. It’s a short, simple, and sweet video that proves people are awesome.

An anti-war song that
turned into a Christmas hit. This is by far my number 1 Christmas song because
of the addictive, uplifting beat that brings home the message that much more.
This song also reminds me when, during World War 2, on Christmas day, England
and Germany would put down their weapons and exchange gifts, play football and
have a genuinely fun day together before resuming fighting each other the very
next day. This song, along with every other Christmas hit, will, unfortunately
always be relevant.
To all those people
who are away from their families and friends this Christmas, I would like say:
Have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
