Netflix

Identity: Strong Black Lead

For me identity is something I struggle with and I'm in a constant battle with myself to define as that strong sense of belonging to one set tribe has never been there for me. But that is something I accepted long ago, I stand out from the crowd

Netflix

The Punisher: Men Need to Talk

So the fact that The Punisher lands on Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/gb/] the same weekend as Justice League being released at the cinema is no coincidence, but neither is it being the same weekend as International Men's day, where men are being encouraged to talk about

The Big Sick - It's sick

The Big Sick is one of those rare films that lives up to its tagline “an awkward true story” to great effect and delivers so much more. One of Sundance Film Festivals stand out hits and directed by Michael Showalter, it stars comedian/actor Kumail Nanjiani as himself and was

Catchphrase merchandise

Merchandise centred around the catchphrase of popular characters is nothing new and has been something that has existed for decades popularised by quotable movie and television shows so much so that entire shows are sometimes created around the idea of popularising a certain character and their catchphrase purely to cash

#FirstTimeISawMe and why representation matters

The glorious people at Netflix (I believe only in the US at the moment) have launched a campaign this week with the help of influencers and celebrities under the hashtag "firsttimeIsawme". I was lucky enough to grow up (until I was 12) in Barbados which had it'

Guest Blog: 5 Movies to be Excited About in 2017

So I've been a little busy the last few weeks but the blog has not been forgotten and I will do a review of the last 2 years in a few weeks. In the mean time here's a guest blog on some movies to be excited

Star Wars

Rogue One - A win for diversity?

Unless you've been living under a rock you'll know that Star Wars just released another movie which is not one of the main episodes but has ties into the main story. Hollywood is unfortunately known for it being very white male orientated so it is refreshing

Westworld

Westworld - Worlds within worlds

A few weeks have passed now since the shows first season ended and the world is still reeling from it. There hasn't been a show that has invited the public as a whole to speculate about what was going on since the mind fuck that was Lost however

Hotels on the Big Screen

Who said hotels don't have a sense of humour? Daffodil Hotel [http://www.daffodilhotel.co.uk/], the one behind the following Big Screen Breaks infographic certainly know how to add some levity to otherwise horrific by design hotels. They've picked a few of their favourite film

Netflix

Is Netflix changing?

Netflix's latest series has just hit it's service and it is without a doubt a story that needs to be seen and heard. With a brilliant cast of young people the show is a brilliant blend of music and style which is rarely seen in a

Long hiatus

So...it's been a while since I've posted anything, not because I haven't wanted to but because I was forced to concentrate on other things as my life descended more into a time poor chaotic mess more than it usually is. As a result

Loot Crate

Loot Crate Dystopia

It feels appropriate that post Brexit I get to review the latest Loot Crate which has the theme of Dystopia. With everyone in the world feeling the effects of the results of the vote it truly is a bit of a dystopian world, dare I say it...the darkest timeline.
