American Crime Story


American Crime Story is a true crime anthology which centres around history's most famous crimes. Today FX release its first teaser trailer. The first season plot will focus on The People V O.J. Simpson. It won't be with us until 2016 but it sounds really interesting.

Now I'm in my late twenties and I can remember where I was during this trial. We watched the trial while out for dinner in Majorca along with hundreds of others. The street was deadly quiet for the amount of people staring at the TV and then the judgement came in, not guilty. I can still remember the gasps of shock from those around me.


  • Cuba Gooding Jr will be playing the role of O.J. Simpson. 
  • Sarah Paulson shall be playing Marcia Clark the head prosecutor in the case. 
  • John Travolta will be playing the head of the defence team Robert Shapiro.
  • David Schwimmer will be playing the role of another defense attorney, Robert Kardashian.
  • Courtney B. Vance will be playing Johnnie Cochran. 
  • Connie Briton of American Horror Story: Murder House shall be playing Faye Resnick 
  • Selma Blair shall be playing Kris Jenner. 


The cast looks great, and by the looks of it there shall be a new story each season. Just like AHS! I'm interested to see the inner workings of this case as I was too young to really understand it. Definitely one to watch out for in February 2016.

I would put the trailer up but it isn't available in my country, so won't let me. But from what I have read there is no footage in the trailer, just voice overs from John Travolta, Sarah Paulson and Cuba Gooding Jnr.

Game of Thrones - The Hall of Faces Trailer and Theories!

I've been watching out for this trailer for the past week and was pretty excited to see some footage from the new season. Instead we got to see the faces of characters, some of whom are long lost, and others who have yet to leave us. SPOILER WARNING for those who haven't caught up with season five. The trailer takes place in the Hall of Faces, which is inside the House of Black and White in Braavos. The hall looks great, creepy but great. We can hear some whispers which are too quiet for me to make out. Then Ned's (Sean Bean) face appears on screen, we then hear him say a line from the show's first ever episode called Winter is Coming.    "The Man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." The screen then fades to black and we then see a clip of some more rows of heads. We then hear even more whispers and which I think sounds like some drops of waters. We then hear the voice of Robb Stark (Richard Madden) who we hear give a quote from seaso...

Mental Illness in TV and Film - Dementors

                                                                                                      Image Source Dementors have haunted me ever since I read The Prisoner of Azkaban way back in 1999. I was a Pre-Teen who was pretty much unaware of the depression that was just around the corner, in a way this book prepared me for what was to come, and after multiple reads, it became my go-to reference when explaining my depression. First off let's give a brief outline of Dementors, these magical wraith-like creatures can generally be found guarding Azkaban Prison, sucking the happiness, hope, and peace out of everyone around them. If you have had a horrible life marked by loss and abuse (just like Harry) you are much more affecte...

Mockingjay Part 2 Teaser

So in a similar vein to Sony releasing a Bond teaser to get our juices flowing for release, Lionsgate release their own Mockingjay Part Two clip. SPOILERS AND THEORIES ARE COMING! I haven't read the books but I have a few theories after watching this clip. I may be 100% wrong though, no guarantees. So in the trailer our Mockingjay Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence), is greeted by our newlywed Finnick (Sam Claflin). She comments at how short his honeymoon was and he replies stating that he'll,"be having one in the capital, after they take it." Well if this doesn't scream I'm going to die in this fight then I do not know what does. We are then greeted by Boggs (Mahershala Ali), he is commanding the non combat unit, they will be days behind the first unit and that Lt Jackson (Michelle Forbes) is his second in command. Cressida (Natalie Dorma) tells us the team are going to be the Star Squad and that Katniss is at her most effective when she is seen by the masses....
