Who would have thought that Ricky Gervais would finally seem old hat and dare I say it, boring. The creator of the hugely influential The Office and my personal favourite Extra’s has made some great stand up shows for Netflix as well as his hilarious time hosting The Golden Globes, but Mortality can’t be added…

WHY WE STILL NEED COMEDY: KEVIN HART’S ACTING MY AGE.
I know this is a slightly different kind of review than what you might usually read, but no one really talks about comedy anymore. And honestly, I think right now we could all use a good laugh. With how negative the news cycle is and how much bad stuff people are constantly reading, comedy feels…
HARLAN COBEN’S ‘RUN AWAY’ REVIEW: DARK THEMES AND A WORTHWHILE SLOW BURN
Run Away is a slow burner and honestly, it needs to be. This isn’t the kind of story you rush, because every layer is there for a reason. At the centre of it all is Simon Greene (James Nesbitt), a successful, devoted husband and father of three whose solid, comfortable life starts to unravel when his…
STRANGER THINGS DIDN’T JUST END — IT LET US CHOOSE
In my opinion, Stranger Things ended in the best possible way. Endings are hard especially for a show this loved, this long-running, and this layered but somehow the Duffer Brothers managed to pull it off. The finale was intense, emotional, clever, and most importantly, satisfying without being over-explained. The final fight scene alone proves how strong the…
WHY ‘HARRY MET SALLY’ REMAINS ONE OF THE BEST ROMANCE FILMS OF ALL TIME
Few rom-coms have aged as gracefully or as hilariously as When Harry Met Sally. “You’ll have what I’m having.” That line, shouted across a bustling New York deli, has become cinematic legend and perfectly sums up why this film continues to captivate audiences decades after its release. For those who haven’t seen it yet, here’s the…
WHY TV’S MOMENTUM ISN’T SLOWING DOWN IN 2026
I’ve got a really good feeling about 2026. And that’s saying something, because 2025 has been unbelievable one of those rare years where TV genuinely felt exciting again. Big titles landed, smaller shows broke through, and people actually talked about what they were watching. What’s surprised me most is that it doesn’t feel like it’s slowing down. If anything,…
WILL BYERS: THE HIDDEN HORCRUX AND THE MAGIC OF STRANGER THINGS
The more I think about Stranger Things, the more it feels impossible to ignore how closely it mirrors Harry Potter especially when it comes to Will Byers. At this point, Will isn’t just “the kid who went missing in season one.” He’s something darker, something more dangerous. He’s a Horcrux. In Harry Potter, Voldemort survives by splitting his…
STRANGER THINGS VOLUME 2: WHEN CHARACTER MATTERS MORE THAN THE UPSIDE DOWN
(Spoilers Ahead) Stranger Things Volume 2 might be my favourite part of the entire show so far. From the pacing to the emotional payoff, it feels confident in what it’s doing and, more importantly, it knows that its strength lies in character rather than spectacle. The pacing is brilliant nothing feels rushed, but nothing drags…
WHO I THINK MIGHT DIE IN STRANGER THINGS SEASON 5
With Volume 2 officially T minus 2 days, I wanted to sit down and write this now before everything changes and give my final predictions on who I think could die in the last three episodes of Stranger Things before the finale on the 31st. This isn’t something I’m doing lightly, because honestly, I’m not emotionally prepared…
MY FAVOURITE FILM DIRECTORS
When I look back at the films that mean the most to me, certain names come up again and again. These directors may work in completely different genres, but they all create stories that stay with me in one way or another. Christopher Nolan Interstellar, Oppenheimer, Inception, Dunkirk Nolan’s films were some of the first…
