Looking Has Got Me Watching

Posted on March 10, 2015 by Diary of a Chocaholic • Leave a comment

I remember the first time I cheered for a same-sex couple on TV like it was yesterday: I must have been 9 or 10 and was at my Grandmother’s watching Gute Zeiten Schlechte Zeiten (German soap) on TV after dinner. Openly gay character Philip Krüger (Laurent Daniels) had been crushing on author Simon for a … Continue reading →

I Will Haunt You Forever

Posted on February 28, 2015 by Diary of a Chocaholic • Leave a comment

Amongst the TV shows that have started in the past couple of months, there are more than enough to suit everyone’s tastes and needs. Especially when they keep mixing and matching bits and pieces taken from other shows we know and love. Take Forever, for example. The show is new and the idea is mind-bogglingly … Continue reading →

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Posted on February 26, 2015 by Diary of a Chocaholic • Leave a comment

Following my review of the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, here comes the second instalment. On screen, only 8 months have passed since we last saw our retired guests (strange how their hair greyed so quickly in 8 months, must be the Indian sun…) and things at the hotel are going well. So good in fact, … Continue reading →

Hindsight Or The Eternal Question Of What If?

Posted on February 26, 2015 by Diary of a Chocaholic • Leave a comment

Not since Being Erica has there been a realistic time-travel show on TV. And it was badly needed. Humans spend a lot of time wondering “what if”, and on top of all the big life-changing decisions the characters make, it just feels nice to bask in our past, reliving the best songs, the funkiest outfits … Continue reading →

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Posted on February 20, 2015 by Diary of a Chocaholic • 2 Comments

As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, there is a growing number of films aimed at the silver economy. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a great example, especially as it’s such an upbeat and original movie. In England, as in many Western cultures, older people are seen more as a burden rather than an … Continue reading →

Jupiter Ascending: Can You Take It Seriously?

Posted on February 11, 2015 by Diary of a Chocaholic • Leave a comment

In a galaxy far, far away… Hold on. Wrong movie. Or is it? I’ve been waiting for Jupiter Ascending a long time. The release date kept getting pushed and when it finally settled on February (in the UK at least), I pounced on it. But the movie left me feeling a number of things, and … Continue reading →

Big Hero 6

Posted on February 9, 2015 by Diary of a Chocaholic • Leave a comment

In case y’all didn’t realise it yet, I love Disney. A lot. Not as much as my flatmate, but she might be slowly filling in the blanks I have. So it’s no wonder that I went to see the latest Disney movie, Big Hero 6. Disney is once more taking its inspiration from literature (well, … Continue reading →

As a kid, my father introduced me to James Bond movies. And Sean Connery was always much better than Roger Moore. Unfortunately, the more recent Bond movies have turned into what I call Crash-Boom-Pow movies, the kind of action movie that only has a plot in order to take you from one exciting action scene … Continue reading →

Dear White People

Posted on February 5, 2015 by Diary of a Chocaholic • Leave a comment

Whenever you watch a trailer on Youtube, it actually suggests loads of other movies. Some are older, but based on similar plots or with the same cast, others are upcoming movies, set to hit the screen at roughly the same time as what you just watched. Every now and then, you also get a trailer … Continue reading →
