How the Marquis Got His Coat Back reads very much like one of those fairytales. You know, the kind with A LESSON to learn at the end of the tale. Except this one is written[…]
Masters of Sex, season 2-4
I really enjoyed watching Masters of Sex compared to another tv series taking place in the same era that I just finished wrapping up – Mad Men. Sex research aside, I found the story and[…]
Day of the Dead by Neil Gaiman
Day of the Dead by Neil Gaiman is actually a script for the series Babylon 5. I’ve never actually watched Babylon 5 aside from a few random passing glances many, many years ago, so I[…]
The Explorers Guild volume 1 by Jon Baird & Kevin Costner
Well, that was an epic novel. Half graphic novel and half ‘regular’ novel, The Explorers Guild volume 1 is an undoubtedly ambitious book. If I was to categorize this in some sort of genre, adventure[…]
Mad Men, season 7
It’s my final dose of Don Draper and the rest of the Sterling Cooper clan, and I don’t really have all that much to say about it. It’s not like Mad Men was a series[…]
Crazy Rich Asians (2018)
Crazy? Some of them. Rich? Filthy. Asians? Absolutely. Crazy Rich Asians is undoubtedly fun to watch, but is it the best thing I’ve ever watched on the silver screen? No. Not by a long shot.[…]
The City & The City by China Miéville
The City & The City by China Miéville is probably one of the most unique books I’ve read in awhile. Yet it is also familiar in the way it unfolds, in the way the story[…]
MacGyver, season 1-2
I wasn’t entirely sure if I wanted to revisit the world of MacGyver with this remake. I mean, I grew up watching the original and it was one of my favourites. How are they going[…]
Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018)
First up, can I just say that, overall, I prefered Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation better? However, the fairly extended climax of this movie was definitely by-the-edge-of-your-seat kind of awesome. And, well, Henry Cavill, even[…]
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018)
Here we go again! The songs of Abba are back on the silver screen with Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, featuring a pretty packed cast list who all did their bit to keep the[…]
The Autumn of the Patriarch by Gabriel García Márquez
Here’s a couple of things you need to know about Gabriel García Márquez’s The Autumn of the Patriarch: It is a difficult book to read. With sentences that run almost as long as a page[…]
The Greatest Showman (2017)
Well that was a breathtaking (and somewhat teary-eyed) fun! Based on the life, ambitions and success of Phineas Taylor Barnum, probably the most famous circus purveyor that ever did live, The Greatest Showman was indeed[…]
Murder on the Orient Express (2017)
I read Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express many, many, many years ago, back when I was still in school. It was a classic then just as it is today, and I must admit[…]
The Little Book of Hygge: the Danish Way to Live Well by Meik Wiking
As a country consistently ranked as the happiest country in the world, Meik Wiking, a researcher at the Happiness Institute in, where else but Denmark, decided to put together a book on that important concept[…]
Trigger warning by Neil Gaiman
I have mixed feelings about Trigger Warning, and it has nothing to do with the many charming, creepy, scary, intriguing stories contained within its pages. Neil Gaiman’s writing is stellar as always, and there were[…]
Lucifer, season 1-3
You know what sucks? Finding a new series you really enjoy and discovering it was cancelled before you could even start. And you know what doesn’t? Finding out as you’re barreling through season 3 that[…]
Set it Up (2018)
Set it Up isn’t the most brilliant of movies out there, but it was cute and entertaining and sometimes, that’s just the kind of weeknight entertainment you need. I like that two biggest names in[…]
Blood Monster by Neil Gaiman
Well, that took all of five minutes to read. Haha. Blood Monster by Neil Gaiman is either about a father telling his kids a scary story, or about a blood monster who has entered into[…]
Beijing in 5 Days by Mimi Mashud
I’ve been following Mimi and her illustrations via my @allthens account on Instagram for awhile now, so it was very cool to finally get around to reading her comic book Beijing in 5 Days, which[…]
William Shakespeare’s the Jedi doth Return: Star Wars Part the Sixth by Ian Doescher
What can I say except that this was awesome. William Shakespeare’s the Jedi doth Return: Star Wars Part the Sixth is the third written, third filmed, sixth instalment of the Star Wars series, be it[…]
All the Bodies We’ve Embraced by Sheena Baharudin
I first heard of Sheena Baharudin during Art for Grabs at Urbanscapes last year. I had a booth opposite the stage and while it turned out to be a very quiet market sales-wise, my perfectly[…]
