Movie Rating

Holiday Inn is one of my favorite holiday films, and, in my opinion, infinitely better than White Christmas. Holiday Inn is the film that the song 'White Christmas' first appeared in. One of the reasons that Holiday Inn might not be as popular is there is a song/scene that's considered to be politically incorrect, and when the film is aired on television, it's taken out. When that song/scene is taken out, the movie becomes slightly confusing.
It's also unique in that, at the end, it gives a behind the scenes look at how the film was made on a set, in the guise that they're filming a movie within a movie. Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire are completely amusing together, and really make the movie worthwhile.

Everything I Could Hope For

As someone who grew up watching the beloved cartoon, Teen Titans, as well as an avid reader of the comic series, Titans and Teen Titans, a lot was riding against this TV show. However, I was truly surprised by how much I loved this series from the first episode. I've always adored the DC universe for their dark plotlines and backstories they give to the characters. I was thankful to see that they carried this same darkness into this television show. This paired with the talented way they showed the growth of the characters throughout the season was all done beautifully. I could not have possibly asked for more and look forward to the second season!

Pre punk to post punk

As a lover of Punk it was only a matter of time before I watched this and it felt like a compilation album with extended talking in between. Loosely based on Hilly Crystal the owner of CBGS's in New York and the place where punk was formed.

There are appearances from Television, Talking Heads, The Ramones, The Dead Boys and it shows that Blondies did have more fun. The story is nothing too taxing and it's weaved round the music. Some famous faces and a Harry Potter characters bare bum as he proves his natural hair colour out of the cameras beady eye.

So if you like Punk, bare bums and don't mind a young Sting then this could help your life in a small way
