In my last post I said I rarely post movie reviews on here, and yet, here seems to be another one… Well, not exactly. I did watch Ready Player One a few weeks ago, but I had first read the novel back in 2012, so aside from the basic plot I didn’t really remember much…
Okay, so I know I said in my last post that I wasn’t decided yet on whether I would watch the Annihilation movie, but seeing as it was readily available on Netflix, I thought, what the heck, I might as well, right? It’s very rare that I post movie reviews on here. As a matter…

I’m a big fan of anime, or Japanese animation. Anime series are usually 24 or 26 episodes per season, and a series gets renewed depending on its popularity. Anime stories are usually adapted from manga, or Japanese comic books, and range from science-fiction/fantasy, to historical, and even present/slice…
The anime movie, Kaze Tachinu (The Wind Rises), released in Japan in 2013 is the last film directed by Studio Ghibli‘s Hayao Miyazaki before he retired in September of the same year.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that any girl obsessed with Pride and Prejudice is equally obsessed with Mr. Darcy and would gladly trade places with Elizabeth Bennet. Well, that’s exactly the premise of Lost in Austen, a 4-part British mini-series which aired in 2008. Set in modern-day England, it is the story of Amanda…
Finally, a good movie in 2010. Inception is probably the best movie I’ve seen all year, which really isn’t saying much, considering all the movies which have come out so far. Very few are even worth mentioning. Inception is the kind of movie which will determine whether you are an optimist or a pessimist. Me, I’d…
Another weekend has come and gone; uneventful as usual. A wonderful end to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa on Sunday with Spain beating Holland, 1-0. Once again, Paul the octopus has chosen the winning team! Maybe Spain should make him an honorary Spaniard. Finally saw The Last Airbender last night and, what can…
