It's All in Your Head
I have never gotten a tattoo. It is just not me. I have nothing against tattoos, some look quite good, impressive works of art adorning arms, shoulders, backs, and legs. Some people look natural with ink, I just do not see myself as one of those people.

So Why Don't You Make One?
As a bit of a film and television critic, one could rightfully, some might think, ask if I could do any better. After all, making a film is not easy. As the saying goes, if it was, everyone would do it. Maybe that's true. But as technology has advanced and many professions that were the preserve of the few, become accessible to all, increasing numbers of people are doing exactly that; making films.

'Twinsanity' - A Review (Netflix)
I am not a particularly religious person. A doctrine that invites self-flagellation is not for me; who needs to find reasons to punish themselves? Not me. That being said, people like to punish themselves even if it is in a roundabout way. Some drink too much, some take drugs, and others are risk-takers, lovers of danger. There is also the punishment of avoidance, not doing things or taking an easier path. This is, perhaps, the most common self-punishment.

'Deadly Detention'—Review (Netflix)
Less than five minutes into Deadly Detention, a Netflix teen horror flick, and I knew it was going to be eye-wateringly awful. It opens with a girl running from an unseen threat, along narrow corridors in an abandoned building. We get a title card: Three days ago. We are on a bus with five teenagers. They are being driven to Wayview prison by Pete (Kevin Blake), who has a shrine to a deceased student, Jenny Duke, on his dashboard. Wayview, an old—now closed—prison, is to be used for Saturday detention.

'When We First Met'—Review (Netflix)
Is there a person that one is supposed to meet? Most of us have, at some time, been besotted with or liked the wrong person. That is life. Still, there is a train of thought that says we are destined to meet certain people and certain people are destined to be together.

'Cam' - A Review (Netflix)
When asking someone to rate something between one and ten, a score below six would be considered poor. Even a five-point-nine would make you think twice about watching a show. It’s like less than three stars—you wouldn’t stay in a hotel with less than three stars.
