A worthy classic
The Bell Jar is one of those well known classic books that pretty much everyone has heard of, but yet for me I hadn't a clue what the story was actually about. The story centres around a young woman's mental breakdown and descent into depression, and her subsequent slow path to recovery. It's not in the slightest what I was expected, but this is actually a rather good and worthy classic novel.

I wouldnt say Esther is a particularly endearing protagonist, there's a lot about her tale that doesn't make sense or seems a little lacking but I'm guessing this is because it's meant to represent her rather unhinged state of mind. It can get a little frustrating when things aren't explained properly, but for the most part the plot and story is very interesting and I struggled to put this down. It's well written without being pretentious, and it seems to be a very realistic tale about mental illness. The metaphor of the bell jar itself is a rather wonderful term despite the subject matter and one of the best metaphors I've ever come across in literature, as it's so true.

Overall this is a great classic and whilst it may seem a little dated, it's a really good study on mental health.

Another Disney Classic that is full of song, action, danger and fun. The voices chosen for the role are perfect and the story line does not disapoint. Not for the little kiddies because of the high danger and scare it can throw into them.

Baby Driver is a fifth gear joy ride of millennial cool and old-school car stunt acrobatics. Nicolas Wingding Refn’s Drive lifted liberally from Walter Hill’s 70s crime classic The Driver.
Critic- Electric Shadows
Original Score: 4 out of 5

One of THE best movies I've seen in years
We've all heard about Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile - how they exceed when watched anyone's expectations. Well this film is one of them......mesmerising, compelling, heart-wrenching. Absolute classic of a movie
