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.

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 affected by them than someone who has not, as they also cause depression and despair in there victims. They can sense and taste fear, but thankfully they can't seem to tell people of the same build from each other, and they are able to communicate wit

Jessica Jones Episodes 1-2

                                                                          [Courtesy of Marvel/Netflix] Jessica Jones launched this Friday and after a weekend of mostly binge watching I decided it was time to talk about it. I really enjoyed this show and will be giving my opinion on the first two episodes below. SPOILER warning for those who haven't watch any of these episodes as I will be analysing each episode. A.K.A Ladies Night                                                                           [Courtesy of Marvel/Netflix] So in the first episode Jessica (Krysten Ritter) is a loner, she stays from people as they just cause complications. We get a sense that she has done something, something dark, but we don't quite know what it could be. The day starts with an argument with a client who she throws through her door, she then narrates her typical New York day, and she ends it by spying on Luke Cage (Mike Colter). She wakes up in her apartment to find Malcolm

Thanksgiving

                                                                                      [Courtesy of Fox] So I'm Scottish and we don't get the whole Thanksgiving thing, but I have watched a lot of movies and television which give the rest of the world a nice little insight into this holiday. So you have time off work, you're not taking part in those crazy sales (which have also became a tradition over here, thanks), and you're stuffed from eating your weight in delicious foods. What do you watch? Harry Potter                                                                  [Courtesy of Warner Bros] So I don't know about you but nothing screams November more than our beloved Harry Potter, and there are eight movies for you to binge watch throughout the weekend. I just rewatched these and they hold up, you'll feel the magic, panic and feel relieved as the battle comes to a close. Witness Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), a poor orphan boy who lives in a cu
