Game of Thrones – Season 6 Episode 7: “The Broken Man”

“The Broken Man” marks the seventh episode of ten in season six of Game of Thrones. We have but three episodes left to go. This is the part of the season where there needs to be little to no drag in certain storylines; where we need to see a forward trajectory in order for the […]

Trailer: Winter At Westbeth (2015)

I recently posted about an amazing documentary film that my partner has been working on for the past couple of years; a little project named Winter At Westbeth (2015). Winter At Westbeth is a documentary set in New York City, about the intersection between ageing and creativity, and contains some of the most beautiful and […]

Game of Thrones – Season 6 Episode 6: “Blood of My Blood”

After the heartbreak of last episode, I’m intrigued to see whether season six of Game of Thrones is able to keep up the momentum of the recent pattern of great episodes. This season has been a pretty strong one so far, with some highly memorable moments and some actual plot progression for our favourite characters. […]

Thoughts on… Inside Out (2015)

Pixar Animation Studio’s fifteenth feature film, Inside Out (2015, dir. Pete Docter) is a psycho-educational tale about the turbulence and development of emotions in the mind of one young girl. Its synopsis is as follows: After young Riley is uprooted from her Midwest life and moved to San Francisco, her emotions – Joy, Fear, Anger, […]

Game of Thrones – Season 6 Episode 5: “The Door”

It is quite possible that the ending of this one episode was just as devastating as the ending to season five as a whole. Episode five of season six of Game of Thrones is entitled “The Door” – and when one realises why exactly it’s named “The Door”, I can guarantee you that the tears […]

Two Short Films: Ticky Tacky (2014); The Bumblebees (2014).

It’s been a while since I’ve watched some short films, but today/tonight I have two short films of particular interest. First, we have Ticky Tacky (2014), starring Oscar Isaacs as a crazy and powerful maniac, and second, The Bumblebees (2014), a stylistic girl gang tale. Both films are available to watch online, so I’ve linked […]

Game of Thrones – Season 6 Episode 4: “Book of the Stranger”

Normally it’s around episode four that all the disparate plot points of a Game of Thrones season begin to pick up their momentum; goals are identified, strategies are put into place, and we start to see an endgame that will no doubt be ruined by someone getting their head chopped. I’m pleased to announce that […]

Buried (2010): Quick-shot review!

One of the more claustrophobic films I’ve seen in recent times, Buried (2010, dir. Rodrigo Cortés) will make you feel like you’re trapped in a very small and confined space, not unlike its protagonist. For once, I’m glad that I actually didn’t see something at the cinema, because I expect this would have been sensory […]
