Labyrinth (1986): My Five Favourite Things
The passing of the one and only David Bowie was a tough experience for a lot of people in January of this year; myself included. I wrote a post on my top seven Bowie tunes (keeping it to seven because otherwise it would have spiralled out of control and I would have ended up listing […]
Beethoven’s 7th Symphony, Second Movement: In Film

The […]

Yet again I’ve gotten stuck into a television series and I feel the need to post/rant about how much I love it.
