THE ELECTRIC STATE: EVEN WORSE THAN I FEARED
It’s been such a long time since I’ve read critics slating a film this badly right after its release. Rotten Tomatoes critics rating is 15% and I tend to agree with them on this occasion, all pretty damning although the audience reviews are on 72%. I’m quite surprised about the poor rating because it has…
WHY HAVE ROMANCE FILMS LOST THEIR SPARK?
“How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”, “Harry Met Sally”, “Sleepless in Seattle’ and “10 Things that I Hate About You” to name a few, are some of the best and iconic romantic movies that are timeless. What do you think that all these films have in common? These films were my childhood and…

Shakespeare is one of the best playwrights and poets in history.

My experience on the Red Carpet at the Glasgow Film Festival
I want to give a big thank you and show my appreciation to Glasgow Film Festival for giving me the opportunity to attend my first red carpet event. I didn’t know what to expect and to be honest I was very excited but also a little bit nervous. Even though I have watched many red-carpet…

WHITE ROSE: A STORY THAT SHOUTS TO BE HEARD AND DESERVES A WEST END RUN.
“We will not be Silent”. ” Stand Up and Resist”. “Truth, Freedom and Honour”. These words are the bedrock of this morality tale that is also a true story of speaking truth to power. I didn’t know the true story of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose, but it can’t be repeated enough so that…
