Scream Queens


So this series is pretty weird, I liked it though but it's pretty satire. It also feels like if American Horror Story and Bad Neighbours had a baby, then this would be it. Pretty slapstick horror but in a good way. Slight SPOILERS but nothing you won't see in the trailer... maybe.

So in a flashback to 1995 a Kappa pledge has a baby in a bathtub during a party. She didn't even know she was pregnant but the sorority sisters don't want to miss out on the song Waterfall so they leave her there until the songs finished. So when the song is finished and they go back into the bathroom they find her dead as another sister holds the baby.

So back to 2015 Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts) is president of Kappa and she is an angry, horrible person. She breaks the fourth wall (well with her thoughts) and she introduces us to the rest of her Kappa sisters who she names Chanel 2, 3 and 5 as she doesn't care what there names are.

Chanel then has a meeting with the universities new Dean, Cathy Munch (Jamie Lee Curtis) who mentions the sororities colourful past including such incidents as drunk goat beastiality and the last president being assaulted. She wants to revoke Kappas charter but Gigi Caldwell arrives, she's there lawyer and Kappa alumni. She also seems to dress like its the 90's due to some traumatic event... *cough cough* I wonder if it's linked to the 1995 flashback.

Then we meet Grace Edwards (Skyler Samuels), it's her first day of college and her dad is driving her to campus. He asks her not to join a sorority and feels weirdly anxious of the thought of it. We then find out Graces mum died when she was two and she only naturally wants to feel close to her. That means she has to join the same sorority as her mum Kappa.

We are then introduced to Grace's roommate Zayday (Keke Palmer), Grace convinces her to pledge Kappa and we then met the rest of the potential pledges. At the meeting it is then announced by Dean Munch that Kappa cannot pick and choose it's pledges, doors are open to everyone. These include, Hester Ulrigh (Lea Michele), Tiffany (Whitney Meyer), Sam (Jeanna Han) and Jennifer (Breezy Eslin).

I'll try not to ruin the rest for those who haven't seen it. I'll just say its fun and campy. Some of the jokes could be crossing a line and made me feel a tad uncomfortable but it's satire, this may be due to the fact that it's mostly in the head of a vein, horrible person who hates everyone equally. Zayday would be my favorite character in it, she is so funny and Keke Palmer does a great job, same goes for Emma Roberts, she doesn't seem to get a lot of love for this character but she does a great job. The cast is full of women which is great for equality (feminism FTW!) and there all pretty funny. I'm looking very forward to seeing what else is in store.

Check it out, episodes one and two are available at the moment. Episode 3 is available 29th Sept.

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 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

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.
