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.

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.
