Neil Gaiman may consider this to be one of the worst stories he’s ever written, but I admit I quite enjoyed the little story that is Manuscript Found in a Milkbottle. James Pond uncovers something[…]

Galápagos by Kurt Vonnegut
Sometimes I wonder if science fiction writers really can see into the future. And by the future I don’t necessarily mean the technological side of things. Flying cars aren’t exactly commonplace after all. But Kurt[…]
Late Night (2019)
Since I watched one movie with Emma Thompson, I thought I’d keep the ball rolling with Late Night, a movie about a long-time late night talk show host who finds herself becoming irrelevant in an[…]
Men in Black: International (2019)
What is Men in Black: International without Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones? Not too shabby, to my surprise. Maybe it helps that we have a little eye candy in the form of Chris Hemsworth,[…]
Murder Mystery (2019)
Ha! I feel it’s been awhile since Happy Madison put out a movie, at least that I know of, and this one for Netflix was a hoot! Titled Murder Mystery, it is exactly what one[…]
Modern Family, season 5-9
Is it weird that Modern Family feels like actual family? A little dysfunctional, a little crazy and a lot of funny, they’re definitely my favourite tv family and I am going to miss them when[…]
Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018)
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[…]
