Supergirl


I've had this post sitting part done for four days, my bad.

Supergirl was arguable my favorite Superhero while growing up, ok she was tied with Rogue (cartoon version not movie), I'm even ashamed to admit that I loved the Supergirl movie as a kid and I wanted to be her. Seriously she could take on anyone, and a young woman being just as powerful as a fully grown man just spoke to me in ways you wouldn't understand.

So then I grew up, rewatched it and realised it was terrible. Such a terrible movie, so when I heard about a TV show being made I thought, "Not again." Maybe I've just been scarred too many times when it comes to my favorite superheroes (don't get me started on The Amazing Spider-Man 2), and I've become cynical of anything made outside Marvel Studios. But I may have been wrong to be so defeatist about this project.

Seriously, I am trying not to jinx it by having hope. I want it to be good, I want a Superhero that I and millions of other woman across the globe can tune in and look up to. I want Supergirl to be great, and I don't want to be lied to or given false hope by the trailer. My fingers are crossed for you Supergirl, the trailer does not disappoint but I'm always cautious when it's something so close to my heart.

Check out the trailer below, Supergirl starts 26th of October.

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
