My Top 7 James Bond Opening Title Sequences
I’ve mentioned it a million times before, but my partner is a massive James Bond fan, and is probably the most fanatical Bond fan I have ever known in my entire life. He does a marathon of the films approximately twice per year (sometimes more), and since we live together, I generally get to marathon […]
The Dream Vacation Blogathon
It’s just about that time of year when I start thinking about taking a holiday pretty much constantly. Just in time for the Dream Vacation Blogthon, masterminded by Katy of Girl Meets Cinema! The rules are: If you could travel to any place in the film universe with any of your favorite characters or love-to-hate […]
Cara’s Blogiversary Bash: My Favourites of 1973
One of my favourite blogs is Cara’s Silver Screen Serenade, which has recently turned two years old! I took part in Cara’s First Blogiversary Bash last year, writing about one of my favourite films ever, Spirited Away (2001). But this time I decided to write about what I have discovered is my favourite year for […]
Game of Thrones – Season 5 Episode 10: “Mother’s Mercy”
Well, here we are – the end of an eventful season filled with ups and downs. One would hope that the tenth episode of a ten-episode season would tie up all the loose ends but also set up a nice amount of story in order to entice viewers for the next season. Does this episode […]
Game of Thrones – Season 5 Episode 9: “The Dance Of Dragons”
I don’t normally post two Game of Thrones episode reviews in a row, because I like to break them up with some other posts about films or other fun things. But this may be the episode that actually makes me lose all faith in the writers of this godforsaken series. This episode’s title is slightly […]
Game of Thrones – Season 5 Episode 8: “Hardhome”
I went into this eighth episode of season five of Game of Thrones feeling really cynical because, to be honest, I haven’t been super in love with the season so far. I love seeing the book material represented on screen but because this show is now 75% non-book content, it has been a bit frustrating […]
Game of Thrones – Season 5 Episode 7: “The Gift”
This is episode seven of a season which so far has had a lot of ups and downs. It certainly doesn’t feel like the seventh episode. Let’s see if this episode makes up for the trauma of the final scene of episode six.
Game of Thrones – Season 5 Episode 6: “Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken”
The title of episode six is the words of the House Martell of Dorne, a statement of their peoples’ resilience and resistance. This episode’s title is incredibly ironic in a unfunny sense, as several characters emerged broken by its conclusion. Before watching this episode I accidentally read a spoiler about it that made me very […]
Game of Thrones – Season 5 Episode 5: “Kill the Boy”
It’s the halfway point of the season! I’m going to try my hardest to not be too verbose here and to make this the shortest of my write-ups as I’m aware that they’ve all been thousands and thousands of words so far. Here’s hoping Theon/Reek actually gets some dialogue this episode!
Game of Thrones – Season 5 Episode 4: “The Sons of the Harpy”
It’s episode four already! This means we’re almost halfway through series five. This time has flown past. Has the show gotten past its hurdle of character and story development and started moving things along? Did I enjoy this episode? Read on, but as always, beware of spoilers!
