    Let’s talk about The Summer I Turned Pretty – Season 3, Episode 7

    Before I jump into this post, I’d just like to brag about the fact that the release of the seventh episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty perfectly coincided with me freshly finishing We’ll Always Have Summer β€” the third and final book of the series. To be honest, that was definitely the main reason…

  • The Biggest Mediocre Romantic Comedy β€” Nine Months (1995)

    The Biggest Mediocre Romantic Comedy β€” Nine Months (1995)

    I’ve recently been in a bit of a movie-watching slump. I’m not sure if it’s due to having sat through too many seasons of Chuck before being forced to turn off everything after the atrocities of S5E1. However, it’s just been a little difficult for me to sit through a never-before-seen film or series without…

    We Don’t Deserve Niccolo [Video]

    Part one of Attack on Titan’s fourth season is officially over. The manga has recently concluded. And I’ve only just completed episode nine of the latest season.

  • ‘Uptown Girls’ Is More Than a Comedy About Rich White Girls

    ‘Uptown Girls’ Is More Than a Comedy About Rich White Girls

    I’ve been holding onto the intention of actually sitting down and watching the film for nearly a decade now, and it seemed that 2021 was the year to finally do it.

  • A Little Too Good, A Little Underrated : I Don’t Love You Yet

    A Little Too Good, A Little Underrated : I Don’t Love You Yet

    Controversial statements aren’t necessarily the best way to start off a review. However, I think that a fair number of people who consume Japanese dramas can agree that quality romantic-comedies of its kind are certainly few and far between. A huge reason as to why this is so, is mainly due to the fact that…

  • One of The Best Shoujo Animes of the 2000s – ToraDora!

    One of The Best Shoujo Animes of the 2000s – ToraDora!

    Even though the reason behind my revisit of the anime, ToraDora!, still remains unknown, it’s definitely safe to say that this anime is timeless, beautiful, and will forever remain as a truly pure example of how moving and immersive shoujo animes were in the 2000s. ToraDora is a legendary anime series that is grossly underrated, and…

  • Library Wars: Action Romance at its Finest!

    Library Wars: Action Romance at its Finest!

    It’s not often where you find a series so good, that you’re willing to sit through the anime, the manga and the live action film for it. Yet, Library Wars seems to convince its fans to do so, almost too effortlessly.

  • A Sensual and Intimate Summer Romance: Call Me By Your Name

    A Sensual and Intimate Summer Romance: Call Me By Your Name

    Indie films were never really my cup of tea, but Call Me By Your Name β€”directed by Luca Guadagnino β€” might serve as the catalyst that changes all of that. I’d desperately like to refrain from labelling this film, and inadvertently limiting it, by categorising it as ‘a great queer film’ because it’s truly more…

  • Winston Churchill: A Light in β€˜The Darkest Hour’

    Winston Churchill: A Light in β€˜The Darkest Hour’

    Award-winning director Joe Wright is back with another masterpiece. Much like his previous works, such as Pride & Prejudice (2005) and Atonement (2007), Darkest Hour functions as an absolutely brilliant film which ought to be seen and enjoyed for years to come. The film showcases the first five weeks of Winston Churchill’s appointment as British…

  • Thor: Ragnarok Film Review

    Thor: Ragnarok Film Review

    Forget the first two Thor instalments because Thor: Ragnarok just blew them out of the water. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been slightly tense lately, as the MCU frantically tries to make ends meet before Infinity War begins in 2019. With so many loose ends and the tension left from Captain America: Civil War, comedy…
