Why I Love Disney Movies

I adore Disney movies. They provide so much nostalgia. I had a rich diet of Disney movies as a child, and this diet has continued into my adulthood. Disney films are under much scrutiny and criticism nowadays. These are often by (some) feminists, or others claiming that Disney films are […]

Discussing Characters on Weeds

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. Weeds is definitely the most ridiculous show I’ve seen. It has a similar plot-line to Breaking Bad; parent starts selling drugs to support their family (only BB is twenty times better). It’s the kind of show that doesn’t take itself […]

Daenerys and Walter White: Same Characters, Different Shows

Daenerys Targaryen and Walter White are two of the most compelling, well-written anti-heroes in TV history in my not-so-humble opinion. They also star in two of the world’s greatest TV shows. In the last episode of Thrones, I thought about how incredible Daenerys is as a character. She’s brilliant, brave, […]

Why Game of Thrones Ended Perfectly

So the greatest TV show of all time is finally over, and now we have the books. Many are disappointed and pissed off about the ending as they have been throughout this season. In this post I’m going to review the Game of Thrones ending. I believe it perfectly summed […]
