In the midst of job applications (and rejections), and adjusting to everything that comes with being a responsible, mature adult (or trying to be), it's only right I squeezed in a Christmas film. I'm not one to get excited about Christmas, probably because I spend the time I should be getting excited thinking where has… Continue reading Last Christmas (2019) Review [Dir. Paul Feig]

My NaNoWrimo Experience (2019)
This month I took part in NaNoWrimo, or National Novel Writing Month, in which participants are tasked with writing a 50,000 word novel, finishing by 23:59 on November 30th.

My Nanowrimo ‘19 Prep
Considering this is the day for all things spooky, I thought I'd complete Blogtober (though I think I might be a few posts short - curse my inability to do basic maths!) by posting about something which has always struck me with fear....Nanowrimo Nanowrimo , for anyone who doesn't know, is a writing event throughout… Continue reading My Nanowrimo ‘19 Prep
That Awkward Moment (2014) Review [Dir. Tom Gormican]
As soon as I saw him in that red basketball jersey, my Zac Efron crush was well and truly cemented. Turns out, as the years go by, childhood crushes (at least for me) don't look like they're going away. So I was pretty happy with the fact that, in That Awkward Moment, Zac takes centre… Continue reading That Awkward Moment (2014) Review [Dir. Tom Gormican]
Ingrid Goes West (2017) Review [Dir. Matt Spicer]
When I'm not watching a zombie movie, or a cringey teen rom-com, you might just find me watching a black-comedy drama like Ingrid Goes West. I've already seen this film before but, when I found myself scrolling through Netflix (a cert these days), I thought I'd give this a watch....again. The film focuses on Ingrid… Continue reading Ingrid Goes West (2017) Review [Dir. Matt Spicer]

The Perfect Date (2019) Review [Dir. Chris Nelson]
When I'm not into a zombie movie or a thriller, I'm a fan of crappy romantic comedies. Who isn't? Trick question, everyone is, and those who aren't haven't admitted it to themselves...yet. I've had The Perfect Date on my to-watch list for a while now, considering it a. stars every pre-teen (and above)'s obsession, Noah… Continue reading The Perfect Date (2019) Review [Dir.

The Great British Bake Off, Season 10 Episode 9: My Thoughts
(I completely forgot to post this during the week!!) Last week, the bakers panicked over Pastry Week. Steph scooped Star Baker and, sadly, everyone's favourite tie-wearer Henry left the tent. This week, the bakers took on Patisserie. The bakers Even though the final's today, and I've had time to process, I can't really get over… Continue reading The Great British Bake Off, Season 10 Episode 9: My Thoughts
