The Harry Potter series has always had a strong undercurrent of political themes. From the in-universe use of terms like “mudblood” to describe those from not-entirely-magical families, to the student uprising against tyranny that was the backdrop of the latter instalments, writer J.K.

Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson is probably best known as Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series. Yet she’s so much more than that, with a experience in both film and academia. She’s an active feminist and all round good doer. I wasn’t always the biggest Emma fan, believing her acting was in her eyebrows alone. But […]

A Monster Calls is a touching piece of cinema, with just the right amount of sentimentality and inspiring strength coming from its 12 year old narrator. It is a honest story about how life is hard and it’s okay to be angry, it’s okay to “believe comforting lies”. The film raises an interesting question of […]

American Horror Story S6 Ep 9 ‘Roanoke’ Review – Chapter 9

Overall, this episode was a bit of a letdown, bringing in even more unnecessary hand-held recording and characters. The episode returns to the Roanoke farm and it’s haunting inhabitants, only to focus once again on the people drama. That being said, it did make more use of ‘The Colony’ than usual.  Up to this point, […]

For today’s track I decided to go with something special. In a way because as the Starks would put it “Winter is coming” but the main reason is Tori Amos. She is one of my favourite musicians. That’s evident if you look at my profile photo because it’s a photo I have with her. A […]
