The Mandalorian Series Review (Season 3)
The Mandalorian kick-started a new frontier for Star Wars media when it launched in 2019, utilising the smaller screen to create episodic stories that stood outside of the mainline films. After an extended break and some sideshows, the jet-packing hero has returned to take back his home planet. Anyone who got into previous seasons will enjoy this third season, but the action is held back by an unbalanced plot.

White Noise: A Review.
I want to preface this review by saying that I have not read the novel that this film is adapted from. So, this is a review of the film with zero understanding and relation to the Don Delillo novel. Personally, I believe that I would have liked it more if I had prior read the novel. There is a lot to unpack in this film, and Baumbach takes a massive swing with the themes and style found within this film. Some are home runs, others are strikeouts. Here is my review of Noah Baumbach's White Noise.

Harry Potter
So by now everyone has heard that HBO is remaking Harry Potter into a show…and as you can imagine I have many many thoughts on the subject. But the general internet opinion is that this is a terrible idea that no one wants. Now the reality is that there are a few straw book fans who think they want this show, now I say they think they want it because if they thought about it with any amount of common sense they would realize that it is in fact a horrendous idea. So here we go: all the reasons why a Harry Potter TV show is the stupidest idea in industry history.

Times Disney Made Me Really Think
The films of Disney and Pixar are the foundations of many childhoods around the world, especially mine. Beautifully imagined and carefully written, they are able to capture imaginations and immerce children into magical worlds and instil the belief that anything is possible. Though they also manage to have deeper meanings to us now as adults and make us think; 'Wow, the feels!'
