‘Watched’- June-July

So every couple of months I like to come here and talk about some of the movies and television shows I’ve watched over the past few months. Unlike my music favourites series, in which I’m pretty positive about the items on the list, I’m usually pretty critical during the instalments of this series. Solely because of the fact that for every good movie I watch, there are around 5 bad ones that take its place. Maybe I’m just really bad at picking out movies? Maybe Netflix is just absolutely terrible at recommending things that I’ll actually like?

‘Watched’- April-May

I think what I miss most about pre-pandemic life is being able to sit in a dark cinema hall for a couple of hours with a huge bag of popcorn, and sort of just disappear. A place where it is not just encouraged but expected for people to shut up.

scary movies to watch this halloween

When I was younger, every Halloween would mean a night at home with my sister, watching ‘scary’ movies. The word scary is in quotes, because now that I look back and re-watch those movies, I find myself more scared at the fact that I was actually spooked at those cringey Disney-Original movies. Anyone else feel […]

The History and Evolution of Halloween

It’s everyone’s favourite holiday. Why wouldn’t it be? We get to dress up as something completely ridiculous and eat candy all day! But haven’t you ever wondered where this tradition came from, and how it evolved into dressing up as a sexy (insert completely non-sexy object/profession here)? Today we’ll be having a little history lesson […]

why we watch true crime

CSI, American Crime Story, Unsolved Mysteries, Buzzfeed Unsolved and hundreds more. What do they have in common? They are all extremely popular television shows that depict the thoughts and motives behind gruesome acts of crime and murder. My true crime drug of choice for the past few months has been ‘Forensic Files’. Almost every night, […]
