I'm currently studying Media and Communications at Caledonia university in Glasgow, my interests lie in screenwriting and production overall but for now, I’m going to review and recommend only, based on my personal preference.

YOU

YOU stars Gossip girls Penn Badgley. This show is creepy and suspenseful. Definitely binge-worthy. His role is similar to his character in gossip girl in the sense that he starts on the outside and uses the internet to worm his way in. But you could say it’s more dark and twisted and a bit more gender neutral than gossip girl.

Character Joe Goldberg – S1 E1

Basically, Penn plays Joe Goldberg, a guy who works in a bookshop. Joe seems to take a liking to a customer that comes in the shop: Becks. He then goes on to stalk this girl in any way possible. He’s a creep. There is no other way to describe him. Continue reading →

Sex Education

Sex Education(2019).

Title Image

Sex Education Title

It’s funny and definitely worth the watch. Obviously, it’s a comedy, but that being said it is somewhat educational and dramatic. It doesn’t teach you about intercourse or what to do when you’re having it but it takes a different perspective and studies the stigma around sex, the psychological parts. What your feeling and why. Not so much you but the characters, each has a different situation. It’s funny because it’s mostly awkward situations revolving around sex.

Awkward Encounter

“Where’s the cum Adam?”

“Ultimately, Sex Education is much less interested in the mechanics of sex than in what encourages real intimacy. This doesn’t mean that the show isn’t chock full of lewd masturbation jokes and scandalous drawings” – The Guardian(2019)

A high school boy, Otis played by Asa Butterfield (Ender’s Game), mother is a sex therapist, Dr Jean Millburn played by Gillian Anderson(The X-Files), and as if that isn’t embarrassing enough for him, when he goes to her with his sexual problem, let’s just say she doesn’t exactly treat him with client confidentiality.

I would suggest this series being for 15/16 and above considering that it’s illegal to have sexual contact with anyone under the age of 16  but on the other hand, curiosity can strike in your teens. It has been given an 8.6/10 rating off IMDb which, for a comedy, is quite high.

It ends in a cliff hanger as usual, but the season finale wasn’t much of a big finale. To be honest, I was disappointed with the ending, I’m not going to spoil it but I had to double check there were no more episodes because it felt like it just stopped in the middle of the series. But on the other hand, that means bring on Season 2!!

Black Mirror Bandersnatch

Posted on by
Reply

Black Mirror’s movie Bandersnatch is here and its film like you’ve never seen it before. It’s interactive. We have been able to have interaction with stories through books, computers, apps, tablets, games so now it’s coming to film. It’s revolutionary. But will it stick?

Black Mirror have created what seems to be an AI film due to the part when Stefan enters a state of consciousness where he begin to understand that you as an interactive viewer are controlling them. It also creates the illusion that we ourselves get to choose the ending when in fact we don’t because it keeps going and every path will redirect you to the one the producers have decided.

The Truth of Realisation

It gives you choices such as what cereal to have, Frosties or sugar puffs and then more severe ones which pave the way for the path you choose such as to work alone or not. Or maybe even commit murder? Whatever you fancy.

bandersssI would suggest watching this when you have time to kill because it can take a while, depending on what you choose is how long your path may be. I don’t want to give anything away and your path could be different from mine but from what I’ve gathered your always redirected back to the “right” storyline. It’s like a game! So play this movie and enjoy the next evolution of film right in your home, brought to you by Netflix Original Interactive Productions.

How To Get Away With Murder

How to Get Away with Murder! is a crime/drama series based in the U.S starring Viola Davis. Follow or tweet: Viola Davis

The first three seasons are full of suspense, secrets, and drama and I cannot recommend it enough. I binge-watched this series and it was like a mini-mystery right in my living room. I was drawn into the story and was talking about it for ages after. Its got mystery, horror, emotion, a slight bit of romance. There are currently 5 seasons of How To Get Away With Murder but due to UK Netflix only having 3 until recently when they’ve updated the shows,  I have only seen series 1-3, the others have certainly been added to my list.htgawm

I asked the worldwide audience what they like about the show, if the new seasons are as good as we hoped and if anything stood out to them in the series and this was how they responded:

“There are so many unexpected twists and revelations, making it extremely gripping and interesting. I’d definitely recommend it” – Ross McBain (23), Glasgow, Scotland

“Nice to see on tv how dark they are made to be, in regards to a shooting and corruption that is involved. I would recommend this to people interested in the legal system” – Mark Watson (28), Watford, England

“What I like most about the series is the suspense in the whole show, and I really love the actress Viola Davis. It’s got ALOT of sexual scenes but i just focus with the storyline. Of course I’ll recommend it for adults – not teens or families, just individual adults.” – Shadow Khalid (23), Cairo, Egypt

Annalise Keating – S1E1

Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) is a University Professor at a University in Philadelphia. She, in the series, is a critically acclaimed lawyer and all the students want to be chosen to be a part of her team. Every year she chooses a select group of students to be a part of her law team and fight real cases with her. All the students chosen this year are different but why? Why choose these students? This series has the power of leaving you on the edge of your seat from the very first episode.

#Cineworld Unlimited Update: Film reviews from Oct/Nov #Films

Keep updated with the latest Cinema releases!

One of the best gifts I ever gave myself was to invest in a Cineworld Unlimited Card. I’m in my second year and use it at every available opportunity.

Going to the cinema is my favourite self-help tool when I’m in need of a break from reality. Escaping into a fictional world for a while calms my nerves, fills my creative well, and recharges my batteries. I often see films on my own if there is nobody around to accompany me, and I’m never the only solo cinemagoer in the room. In fact, at certain showings, the number of people watching on their own outnumber the couples and groups.

By visiting the cinema often, I make good use of my Unlimited membership. I’ve even been known to return and see a specific film four times!

Here’s what I’ve watched in October /November:

Haunted

Haunted is another Netflix original production. This series is apparently based on true stories but has been dramatized for production. To define it I would say its a horror documentary. There are only six episodes and each one has a different story, so it doesn’t matter if you watch them in order or not, they’re unlinked. The episodes are also only about half an hour long so its good for a quick watch. I wouldn’t recommend letting your child watch this as it is slightly disturbing and it is rated 15.
