Anything Goes
I'm aware that I had a seriously forgetful brain yesterday. I forgot to post my weekly Wednesday #WriteFromHome and I also forgot to attend an English class on zoom. I blame my energy in finishing Pride and Prejudice, which I got so invested in, I practically forgot everything else. So! Without wasting anymore time in... Continue Reading →

The Devil Wears Prada: Film Review
No matter how many differences that I will find from the book. This film will always be one of my favourites. First of all, the casting of Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly is iconic.

Mad Mythology: When Thor turned Drag
Hi Biscuit Breakers! I thought I'd do something a bit different today, although I have no intentions of making it a whole series, there may be the odd post about Mythology that intrigues me. Today's post is about Norse Mythology. Now I'm sure many of you have watched Marvel's Thor and obsessed over a few... Continue Reading →
Film Review: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
Cast your eyes back to 2001. When we first met Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as the Golden Trio. I can't believe it will celebrate it's 10th Anniversary next year. The film was a huge success, it really brought alive the world of Harry Potter, Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, you name it! I think... Continue Reading →
