I knew I wanted to read Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discword series. I brought book one, The Colour of Magic, expecting that I would fall in love. What happened instead was that – it confused me. Years later, discussing it […]
In our next instalment of ‘The Life of Prince Hal’ we see the death of a king, Falstaff’s hilarious observations, a bit of homosexual innuendo and Prince Hal be a bit of a dick before making up in a half-assed […]
Thou art so fat-witted, with drinking of old sack and unbuttoning thee after supper and sleeping upon benches after noon, that thou hast forgotten to demand that truly which thou wouldst truly know. What a devil hast thou to do […]
I am not the romantic – by that I mean I dislike most romantic comedies and would rather watch an action movie for a first date rather than have to suffer through cliché loved-up teenagers. So, it is quite surprising that […]
After reading Coriolanus I wanted to read a play I was familiar with so I could get used to the language. So my next play would be Hamlet, followed by David Tennant’s 2009 RSC film adaptation. Now, there is no arguing that […]
You may have noticed I’ve been on a little Tom Hiddleston binge, when I found out that he played Coriolanus in the Donmar Warehouse production. Trying to find it online I couldn’t so I resided to the fact that […]
‘What do you think it is about Loki that people seem to really love, more over Thor?’ an audience member at Comic Con asked. Tom Hiddleston gave an honest answer that I will come back too, but this question […]
I have read and heard many arguments for and against all forms of book, whether it be a physical, electronic or audio version of the book. It is my recent read of The Crimson Petal and The White by […]
Firstly, I will be going into the plot and thus spoiling some parts as it very hard to write a blog post about The Prestige (book and or movie) without spoilers being given. So this is a firm disclaimer that if […]
Like all good trilogies, sometimes the last part takes a bit longer to get released. The final show in Rob Lloyd’s shows, exploring what it means to be a nerd and embracing who you are has finally been premiered. […]
THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS My first response while watching this movie was, what the fuck? how the fuck? But by the end it was satisfying and made me think. Ryan Renolds plays Jerry, who at first seems like an […]
A few days ago I finish the beginning of what will the tetralogy of Shakespeare’s plays that comprise of Richard II; Henry IV part 1 & 2; Henry V; Henry VI part 1, 2 and 3. I am also taking […]
First and foremost I am only referring to the first three series of the franchise: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and that why I know no show is perfect – compared to other shows however, it is punching above weight. […]
There has been backlash and there has been praise, and I have let a day or so pass before I write this. Why I am saddened to see the end, I also know and understand the benefits of ending […]
It is very rare that I will cry at the end of a movie. When I do cry it is because I usually see some part of myself that I have been denying for a while and it took […]
So tonight is the Final of the Eurovision Song Contest held this year in Baku, Azerbaijan who won it last year with the song Running Scared. This is the first time I have known it is on and am […]
Today marks 22 years since the wonderful. magical Jim Henson left us. I was only 2 years old when he passed away yet I am aware now of the influence Jim had on my life. I grew up; like […]
Currently I am watching Disc 3 of Season 1 – Homicide: Life On The Streets and I am in love. I am going on this phrase of going in search of “good” and “classic” shows with taken advice from […]
Unlike the Treckies or the Whovairans that people who are obcessed with Star Trek or Doctor Who my stream of nerdity doesn’t have an abbreviation. Unlike those who race home to download the latest episode an analyse it; I […]
This article was first written in response to an article that is no longer available. Reading the article, ‘Does comic ‘bravery’ go hand in hand with being offensive and stupid?’ I can understand why some people may think that […]
A few days ago my new housemate* and I were discussing movies that we both loved, in particular Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (1971) and how the remake missed the mark on the message that the Gene version […]
So, tonight marked my first lot of shows that I plan to see at the Melbourne Fringe Festival 2011. I went with my friend to see the longest running SiFi character be put on trial by his No. 1 […]
Last night I trotted down to to my local Kew Library where comedian and author Bob Franklin was doing a talk about his book of short stories released last years under the cover title: Under Stones. Bob Franklin is […]
