Armed with a two bottles of white wine, a 6 pack of Hite and a 1.5 litre bottle of Sprite (we combined the ... Read on.
I have a friend called Alex. She’s never seen Star Wars. A bunch of my friends got together and made her watch it. Her first account of A New Hope was somewhat accurate (you can read that here) – however by the ... Read on.
I have a friend called Alex. She’s one of my oldest and best friends. We both shared a love for movies throughout our teenage years, and went on to study film at university together. While I dropped out to pursue my p... Read on.
Last week, I was lucky enough to get to see Swedish pop star Robyn live at the Powerstation.

I own quite a lot of DVDs. I went through a big buying phase when I was younger that I am since over (apart from the other day when I bought both seasons of Downton Abbey as well as the soundtrack because I was having a little mental breakdown.) My best movies get placed in ... Read on.
