Review: 'Bad Times at the El Royal'
After the trailer debuted, not much was known about the latest movie from The Cabin In The Woods director, Drew Goddard. We were exposed to the tone, texture, feel and title for the movie, but what was Bad Times at the El Royale? The film opened this week and we got to see it, and whilst the movie was great, we wouldn’t like to check in!

'The Devil Wears Prada'
(Spoiler free) For many years, I've heard about this movie. How it was a great film and several references here and there (Like in The Office; when Micheal pretended to be one of the characters), and I finally decided to sit down and watch it. After all, I hate to miss out on all the fun.

Mickey Mouse at 90
What a fascinating magazine. I love all things Disney and I learned so much. It was interesting to see how he got started and how all the different characters came to be. I also loved how some characters names got changed and are different now. It’s cool to see how many Mickey Mouse clubs there were. This magazine was expensive but worth it!

Reading Journal: 'Pride and Prejudice'
Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is one of the most famous and influential romance novels ever written and established a number of the tropes found in later books and films. The formula we recognize from a number of romantic comedies (a spirited and outspoken heroine who is “not like the other girls,” an aloof hero who eventually warms up to her, and a misunderstanding which leads to dislike and then to love) find their origins in Austen’s work.

'Doctor Who': "The Ghost Monument" Review
Warning: Possible spoilers for the episode below. Having spent the Series 11 opener effectively relaunching Doctor Who with a new cast and new look, with episode two new showrunner Chris Chibnall had the chance to take the show into space. Doing so isn't a new thing as both Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat did with their respective second outings with "The End of the World" and "The Beast Below." Would "The Ghost Monument" build on the strengths of the previous episode or falter somewhat?

Remembering the Brutal Brilliance of 'Red Dead Redemption'
Red Dead Redemption remains one of best open-world titles ever made and it’s also one of my favourite video games. With the long-awaited sequel just ten days away, I thought I’d look at it in detail. Recently, I went back and played all the way through, reaching 100 percent completion and seeing everything the game had to offer. It has never lost an inch of its impact on me as a player. It should go without saying, but there are MASSIVE SPOILERS ahead; if you're never played Red Dead Redemption before, go back and experience it for yourself before reading on...

'Venom'
Regarding Venom and Sony's decisions: First off, ignore the critics and just see the movie. It was a fun ride that I got to see for free, but would happily pay to see again. One of the critiques people have is that it's not "violent enough" and that the movie settled to a PG-13 rating after being teased for over a year it would be rated R.
