I did not properly watch the first Wreck it Ralph movie except for some bits and pieces that made its way to me somehow, and honestly, that provided sufficient background information for watching Ralph Breaks[…]

Tricky Twenty-Two by Janet Evanovich
Tricky Twenty-Two is pretty much your average Stephanie Plum novel. Action-wise the story is fairly stock-standard, although the later-on revealed reasons for murder seem somewhat unimpressive. What keep this novel moving forward is really the[…]
The Carpet People by Terry Pratchett
Having recently read a critically acclaimed YA novel (Sophie’s World) and coming away quite disappointed with the whole story and experience, it was easy to see how much better Terry Pratchett is at writing stories[…]
The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion
Sequels are always tricky things, especially if you’ve never written one before. Thankfully, a strong and unusual character like Don Tillman combined with his marriage and move to New York allows for a natural progression[…]
Man Seeking Woman, season 1-3
So, if you’re looking for a seriously oddball comedy about the most basic storyline in just about every tv show out there – seeking for love – Man Seeking Woman may just be the show[…]
Ant-Man (2015)
I admit, the main reason I wanted to watch Ant-Men wasn’t because of the whole Avengers arc. It was Paul Rudd, who is still fly and has managed to remain such a hottie ever since[…]
Deadpool 2 (2018)
You really can’t fault Deadpool 2 for taking the mickey out of movies while being wholeheartedly in it. And, well, he kinda gets his wish doesn’t he? Still pretty funny in that Deadpool kinda way.[…]
Ocean’s 8 (2018)
Finally got around to watching Ocean’s 8, and while it was still pretty cool and fun, I have to agree it’s not as sleek and had-me-by-the-edge-of-my-seat compared to its big brothers, Ocean’s Eleven, Twelve and[…]
CHIPS (2017)
Fans of the original CHIPS tv series may very well find this movie remake absolutely blasphemous. Personally, I don’t remember it at all, even though I’m sure I’ve watched more than a few episodes growing[…]
How to Talk to Girls at Parties (2017)
How to Talk to Girls at Parties is an undoubtedly unusual movie and one that I have no doubt some people will leave, thinking, ‘Wtf did I just watch???’. Thankfully I knew this was based[…]
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.[…]
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[…]
Jane the Virgin, season 1-4
I was looking forward to watching Jane the Virgin when it came out a few years ago. I am, as usual, late to the party, but I’m glad I finally got here. It’s not surprising[…]
House of Lies, season 4-5
Thankfully. despite my hiatus from this series, it was pretty easy to get back into House of Lies again. Time has obviously passed, what with Marty being in prison and Jeannie being super pregnant with[…]
Top Secret Twenty-One by Janet Evanovich
Top Secret Twenty-One keeps the Stephanie Plum stories chugging along. It’s a pretty decent read, and I enjoyed it over a number of the other Plum novels. Perhaps it’s also because I don’t read them[…]
Going in Style (2017)
I often wonder why movies like these often get mediocre ratings. I mean, Going in Style was pretty funny and gives the typical crime caper a twist by featuring three really old guys taking on[…]
Girls (ended 2017)
Finally caught up with and completed the final two seasons of Girls, making this probably the most up-to-date series I’ve watched at the moment. Now that the summer break is here, hopefully this will give[…]
Archie’s Favorite Christmas Comics by Bob Montana et. al.
Reading Archie’s Favorite Christmas Comics definitely brought back memories. My parents couldn’t afford to buy me comics, so I did most of my Archie reading from my cousins’ collections. I’d go to their house and[…]
Baywatch (2017)
Let’s face it, you don’t watch Baywatch expecting it to be brilliant. In fact, you don’t even watch it for the action-packed storyline. You watch Baywatch for the barely there swimsuits, boobs and hot bods.[…]
Glee (ended 2015)
And now it’s time to say goodbye to the Glee company… Watching this some two years late, it was nice to see how this comedy-drama-musical wrapped things up in their shortened final season. It wouldn’t[…]
Bridget Jones’s Baby (2016)
Bridget is back in Bridget Jones’s Baby as a 43-year old successful tv producer who has finally reached her ideal weight. She bumps into Mr Darcy at the funeral for the missing-assumed-dead Daniel, and things[…]
