My Personal Top 11 Songs by The Beatles
The Beatles, even after over five decades since their split, have long been regarded as one of the most influential and popular bands in music history. Lately, their most recently released single, Now & Then, has made the news. Inspired by the latest news and as somebody who grew up listening to the Beatles and…

The Reckoning
I watched The Reckoning on BBC iPlayer a month ago, following a shaky signal on BBC1. The drama, a biographical take on Jimmy Savile, delves into his career and the sexual offenses he got away with. Controversial, but intriguing. Not all of us knew before Jimmy’s death in 2011 that he was a sex offender. One reason…

Happy 100th Birthday Disney
No, I don’t refer to Walt Disney himself, but the organisation he founded back in 1923, which has since become one of the most famous movie organisations worldwide.

An Adventure, 3 Decades Since The Making – Happy 30th Anniversary to Jurassic Park
Remember three decades ago, when a film that was apparently 65 million years in the making came out? Remember when we got one of the rarest chances to see live dinosaurs (well, CGI ones)? And back when blockbusters had awesome storytelling aspects? It gives me great pleasure to celebrate the thirty years since one of…

Yes – Mirror To The Sky
Throughout general history, some fans of certain bands have stated that “(insert band)’s not the same without (insert a certain band member)”. For instance, personally, I prefer the Electric Light Orchestra when Roy Wood was a member during the first couple of years – not to say that I didn’t enjoy any of their later…
