It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Yeah yeah, I know it’s still November but the Edinburgh Christmas market has now opened and there are stalls right outside the office. Christmas lights are up in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Falkirk and I have already done a whole bunch of my Christmas shopping, even if I… Continue reading November roundup
For the past couple of months, I’ve been writing monthly roundups, having stolen the idea from Gordon and Siobhan. So far, I like the idea. It’s a bit like a status report and I do love any opportunity to monitor… well… anything, really. So, without any further ado, here’s my May round up: Financial status: Not bad, given… Continue reading May roundup
My major concern about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 was that it wouldn’t be as fun as the first movie. For me, the first movie was enjoyable because it didn’t take itself seriously; it was tongue in cheek, silly, whimsical and, as a result, fun. I’ll basically watch anything Marvel produces but I definitely… Continue reading Movie review: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2
I like comic book movies. I prefer Marvel to DC and I prefer smaller comic book houses to either. I quite like the X-Men series, although, on the whole, I think I find the Avengers series more fun. Anyway, usually, I’ll go along when any new comic book movie comes along just to check it… Continue reading Movie review: Logan
Sometimes it seems that Marvel accounts for 80-90% of the media I consume. I see all their movies and I watch a good number of their TV shows, with the latter being particularly impressive given how little TV I actually manage to find the time to watch. Still, I have a healthy appetite for what… Continue reading TV series review: Luke Cage S1
Where I failed to watch a lot of the movies I wanted to see in 2016, I did manage to get through a surprising amount of TV. For me, anyway. I’m still pretty awful about watching TV – it’s far too tempting to get up after an episode, or maybe two, and go do something… Continue reading Favourite TV series of 2016
I didn’t get to the cinema anywhere near as much as I had wanted to this year. It seemed that time kept slipping away from me and I can’t count the number of films I’d intended to watch, only to find out that they had already stopped showing and I’d have to wait for them… Continue reading Favourite movies from 2016
I loved Season 1 of Daredevil. Almost as much as I loved Season 1 of Jessica Jones. I’m not as fully immersed in the Marvel Universe as it’s possible to be, though. I haven’t yet watched Marvel Agents of Shield, nor have I watched Agent Carter (although that one is at least on the to-watch… Continue reading TV series review: Daredevil S2
I am slow at watching TV. That’s not likely to change. I struggle to sit still long enough, I guess. I can usually only manage one or two episodes of something, maybe three at a push, and then I just have to get up and do something else. So this is why I’m reviewing Jessica… Continue reading TV series review: Jessica Jones S1
