One Episode In… Narcos

I’m one episode in of Narcos and this smooth and slick pilot has easily made me keen to continue this binge journey. With 10 episodes in each of the three season, if they are all as interesting as this first episode, I should smash this out in a couple a days. And yes, that’s with a newborn. They do sleep a lot at the start, they say. Narcos takes place

FILM REVIEW:: MULAN (2020)

It was the highly anticipated Disney live action remake everyone was so eager to get their eyes on. Unfortunately, COVID-19 kept pushing the release date, until Disney finally decided to pop it onto trusty Disney+ for a few dollaradoos. That was until it would be put up for free in December. Basically, what I’m trying to say is, considering the shocking year 2020 was, and the standard of this film,

FILM REVIEW:: THE OLD GUARD

Netflix has definitely been a good friend during lockdown/maternity leave. It’s constantly bringing something out to help with the boredom. The Old Guard was one of those flicks to help consume some time, and it was impressive by just its trailer – so, on it went. The Old Guard centres around a group of people with one thing in common: Immortality. They have lived during some of the most eventful

FILM REVIEW:: FATAL AFFAIR

Just sitting here, shaking my head, thinking, what a waste of an hour and a half of my life. Where do you even begin to pick where it’s so bad? It’s just all one big pile of, well, I’ll say it, shit! Is it the plot, the storyline, the acting? It’s not a theme we haven’t seen before, but this version, didn’t need to be made. Fatal Affair is the

One Episode In… The Sinner

I’m one episode in The Sinner and boy, are we in for a ride. It took me a while to get to this one; one that has been highly recommended to me multiple times. Nothing beats a good psychological drama with twists and turns, and I have a feeling that’s where this rollercoaster is taking us. The Sinner centres thus far, around Cora (Jessica Biel), a married mother of one,

My 2020

Well… I’m guessing 99% of the people on this planet would have one heck of a story to tell when it comes to 2020. A story which we will definitely be repeating for many years to come. Mine, sorry not sorry, I think is going to be a lengthy one, filled with a lot of opinion and a lot of realisation. It could probably be done in parts actually. But

FILM REVIEW:: EUROVISION SONG CONTEST: THE STORY OF FIRE SAGA

What I thought was going to be an absolute joke (and not in the haha-this-is-funny kind), and a film that makes a mockery of a hugely popular and well-loved event, such as the Eurovision Song Contest, ended up being an uplifting, light-hearted, still silly, but ever so heart-warming movie spectacle. I am so glad I picked this one to watch on a gloomy day. It was the right pick up

One Episode In… Peaky Blinders

I’m one episode in Peaky Blinders and I must admit, I’m impressed. I’m not overwhelmed with information, I’m not bored, but I’m not completely sucked in either. But there is a coolness to this show that has me wanting more after the first episode. From just the first episode, and very little to no background knowledge or research into the series, I gathered that this is about some illegal activity

FILM REVIEW: EXTREMELY WICKED, SHOCKINGLY EVIL AND VILE

So I’m one of those people who loves a good serial killer documentary, and jumps on it as soon as it’s released. Ted Bundy has always been fascinating to me, because of the way he carried himself, the way he spoke, and the way he manipulated. I learned a lot watching his story. Apart from personal experience, Bundy was the first serial killer and probably the only serial killer who

One Episode In… When They See Us

I’m one episode in When They See Us, and this is exactly why I didn’t want to start this series. I knew it would make me angry and frustrated. Not because it’s badly put together; it’s barely considered bad. But because the story is told so compellingly that it hits so hard, you have no choice but to become emotionally invested and feel an overwhelming amount of disappointment. Basically the
