Awards season is upon us, and with it an astonishing amount of biopics. “Same procedure as every year” I guess (check here if you don’t understand that reference). Anyhoo, after seeing The Imitation Game (which I didn’t review, but it was a great movie), The Theory Of Everything is the second contestant I’ve checked out. … Continue reading

Paddington Bear
Every now and then, you go to the movies expecting very little from a movie. You go because you’re being dragged by a friend or because it’s cheap and you have nothing better planned that day. And most of the time you leave saying “Yeah, that was alright I guess…”. But sometimes, you leave with … Continue reading
Why I Love Stuffed Toys
I just finished reading an interview of John Cleese in the latest Times issue. In the top right hand corner, along with the small picture of a stuffed bunny, the text said that Cleese and his wife collect stuffed toys. Why? “Because they make me happy,” he said. And I wholeheartedly agree. I guess I … Continue reading
Love, Rosie
You know those movies that just make you feel good when they’re done? Well 2014 has seen quite a few of them, like Belle, The Fault In Our Stars, If I Stay, The 100 Foot Journey etc. Latest in line is Love, Rosie, based on Cecilia Ahern’s book Where Rainbows End. As with PS I … Continue reading
The Rewrite
This review comes with a massive delay since the film isn’t in cinemas anymore, but I hope you’ll be intrigued enough to maybe get the movie on DVD when the time comes. If you enjoyed Hugh Grant in everything, especially Music And Lyrics, and if you remember Marisa Tomei from Only You and Crazy Stupid … Continue reading
German Marble Cake
One of my friends had her birthday the other day, and I asked her if she’d like a cake. When she said yes, I was dreading what kind she’d like, because there’s only so many I’ve been known to do well, but thankfully she said ‘Marble cake’ and that was something I’d already done before. … Continue reading
Saving Mr Banks
Hailed as the next big thing, with lead actors already poised for the actors, Saving Mr Banks is indeed a force to be reckoned with. Telling the story behind one of the favourite Disney movies of all times, the story takes us to 1961 London, where author P.L. Travers (Emma Thompson) is bullied by her … Continue reading
A la Page
I probably should have done this a while back, but better late than never, right? Well for the past year and a half, I’ve been doing this show on French Radio London. At first it was an addition to the responsibilities I had as an intern and later as an freelancer, but since September it … Continue reading
The Importance Of Having A Job
You don’t have to be unemployed, or young, or old, to know that working helps us with a lot of things. Paying the bills is one very important factor. Getting out of the house and having a purpose is another. Feeling appreciated for what you do, feeling like you contribute to the world. All of … Continue reading
Thor: The Dark World
After a meh introduction in the first Thor movie, and a decent appearance in Avengers Assemble, every woman’s favourite God makes his return to our big screens in his latest blockbuster: Thor: The Dark World. Funnier than the first one, largely dependent on what happened in the Avengers universe (and also creating enough material for … Continue reading
