Movie Rating

I don't quite get all the hatred for this film. It's not brilliant by any means and is a bit draggy at times but I was still entertained enough to want to see how it ended. Blake Lively looking as unglamorous and as a far away from 'Gossip Girl' as can possibly be puts in a very good performance in the lead role and I liked her relationship with Jude Law. Overall it's not bad but I probably wouldn't be in a hurry to watch it again.

Sequel to 2014s Maleficent, that is now freed from the constraints of having to tell the Sleeping Beauty fairytale from the point of view of the wicked Queen.

With the plot here set in motion by a marriage proposal to Aurora, she and Maleficent travel to meet her suitors parents, including Michelle Pfeiffer as Queen Ingrith, who proves to be a 'real' Wicked Queen (that's no spoiler!), and who engineers a war against the fae folk.

In short: slightly better than the first, but still not brilliant.

Album Rating

Rolling Stone's 435th greatest album of all time

I think this is my favourite Nirvana album. There is so much rawness to the sound and the lyrics and, with the backdrop of Geffen wanting a commercial success to follow Nevermind's , it is an incredibly brave album to have made. Cobain said at the time he made an album that he would want to listen to and that is exactly what this is. So much frustrated anger and so many brilliant songs and a fairly diverse sound.
