Time is an interesting concept. Time passes differently for everyone and how we use that time is a complex decision. I’ve played 1,200 hours of apex legends and to some, that might be a waste of time. For me, the time I spent playing that game was time I was having fun with friends and […]
Category: In Cinemas Review
Cinemas are in a weird place. The window that films are in cinema for before they are on streaming or rental is the smallest it has ever been and it in ways has ruined what it means to go to the cinema. But even in a sea of hopelessness, there is a beacon of light […]

The Flash Review
DC has not had the best track record as of late. Marvel, whether I liked the films or not has been dominating the superhero film sphere for so long, that it probably hasn’t been since The Dark Knight where DC has made a huge splash. I think that is going to change for better and […]
Full disclosure, I have never watched the Penguindrum tv show. I didn’t even know it was a thing until last year when Part 1 of this 2-film series was shown at Scotland Loves Anime 2022.

Say I Do to Me Review
I’m a person who grew up with the rise of mainstream social media. YouTube especially is a massive platform that I grew up on. I went through the Suicide Forest incident, the adpocalypse and so much YouTube drama that shaped the platform into what it is today. That doesn’t even consider my love and passion […]

If We Burn Review
For many people especially in the UK, the knowledge and understanding of what happened in Hong Kong in 2019 is nothing short of lacking. Unless you went out of your way to look for news articles.
