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!
Game of Thrones – Season 5 Episode 3: “High Sparrow”
Episode three of this show gave me enough heart attacks and moments of joy for me to call it my favourite episode of the season thus far. This episode is named after the leader of the fundamentalist and potentially dangerous sect of the Faith of the Seven, the Sparrows, and it’s safe to say that […]
Game of Thrones – Season 5 Episode 2: “The House of Black and White”
Episode two! What an episode. As always, watch out for spoilers below.
Thoughts on… Interstellar (2014)

Frank (2014): “I love you all.”
A quirky comedy-drama about music, authenticity and nonsense, Frank (2014, dir. Lenny Abrahamson) tells the story of the best band in the universe that no one has heard of yet – Soronprfbs. Jon Burroughs (Domnhall Gleeson) is a man in search of a band, a man who has a lot to say musically but no […]

Blindspot 2015: Chinatown (1974)
Here’s another of my Blindspot films – films which I have identified as a blind spot in my watch list, films that I probably should have seen already but have finally committed to actually watching in 2015. I recently watched Roman Polanski’s Chinatown (1974), a neo-noir mystery film starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway. Its […]
The Begorrathon: The Secret of Kells (2009)
Another amazing blogathon takes place this March: Reading Ireland Month, or, the Begorrathon – a celebration of all things Ireland in literature and cinema. I’ve been loving all the posts so far, which have ranged from excellent book and film reviews to irresistably shoddy accents. For my contribution to the Begorrathon, I wanted to watch […]
Sound Of My Voice (2011): Quick-shot review!

Zal Batmanglij) tells the story of young couple Peter (Christopher Denham) and Lorna (Nicole Vicius), who are shooting a documentary on cults and those who follow them. Peter and Lorna learn of a specific group of people who follow a woman named Maggie (Brit […]
