Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver has been one of my favourite books ever since I read it way back before I started blogging. You can find my review for it here, if you’d rather read that first. What I loved about this film adaptation was the closeness the four main girls portrayed. They were […]
Jesus Christ Superstar the Arena Tour has been touring the UK and Australia in 2012/2013, and been filmed and distributed by Universal and shown on select cinema screens. It’s now available in Blu-ray/DVD, and because I am a huge Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber fan, and a huge Tim Minchin fan, I bought it on faith. […]
This review contains unmarked spoilers. Les Mierables, directed by Tom Hooper, is an adaptation of the English-language musical translated from the French musical based on the French book (all of the same name) written by Victor Hugo. It stars Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean, a petty criminal who served 19 years hard labour for repeated […]
Captain America (2011) is our final Avengers film before our intrepid Avengers assemble. This film is a little different than its sister films Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Thor: it’s still an origins film, but it’s more of a war film than a superhero film.

Even though these gods age, Thor is still a young man in this film, and his arrogance and certainty of his own sense of entitlement means […]
I didn’t feel like writing my review last week, so here it is now. Iron Man II picks up where Iron Man left off: with Tony Stark’s admission as the identity of the armoured superhero at a live press conference. Then it gets awesome. The end. No seriously. I’m struggling to write this review. Because […]
Marvel Studio’s second Avengers Cinematic Universe, The Incredible Hulk, was released in 2008 and directed by Louis Letterrier and serves as a reboot of the franchise and also a standalone sequel after the ‘failed’ 2003 film, and also as a prequel for the Hulk’s story prior to him appearing in The Avengers. It’s not an […]
Iron Man, released in 2008 and directed by Jon Favreau (also starring as Happy, Tony Stark’s driver) is the first film released by Marvel Studios and kicks off a (currently) six film-long Avengers geek fest with the promise of further films to come. The best thing about this string of films is that they’re all […]
