7. The Saga of Larten Crepsley

I told you I'd be visiting some other works by Darren Shan and it just so happened that I did this sooner rather than later. The last time we visited his novels, more specifically the Darren Shan/Cirque Du Freak Saga, I told you all of some feelings and experiences I associated with those books and how they helped me process my life and move on. This time round it is nothing but a happy experience as this saga is practically all new to me, as a plus there is no film to be attached to (some would say Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant was rubbish and although correct I still enjoyed it, it's spooky vibes man.) On that note then, let me take you back to a simpler time. We are talking about 10/11 years ago give or take, I was around 12 or 13 and with my new secondary school freedom I had just discovered the library. So every Monday and Friday I would get off of the bus 6 stops early and go to the library and stay for 3 or so hours until my Dad finished w...

130. Body in the Bin: The Murder of Louise Kam

We've had a little car trouble for the last few days and due to this I've not made it to the cinema to see the new movies dominating Instagram and therefore have not crafted new content. There's only so many #tbts in the woodwork and I don't really wanna use them all, so I trawled Netflix's trending category and came across some horrific true crime documentaries. I don't massively like crafting a review on someone's real life story, I get a bit icky as I feel like I'm saying their life wasn't cinematic enough when that isn't the case at all. But I'm expanding my palate so to speak and I've fallen down the true crime rabbit hole so here we are. However, I want it known that in no way, shape, or form is my opinion based on what has happened here, the review is for the story telling and how the documentary has handled it, not the subject matter as that is horrendous and a woman lost her life here. I hate that I have to justify t...

127. I Know What You Did Last Summer

I hold my hands up, never got round to watching the original trilogy. I was a Scream girl and while I adore Sarah Michelle Geller , there was only one slasher movie which I would gravitate to. Fair warning, this review contains SPOILERS as the movie has been out a little while now. Read on only if you want to know more. However, almost 30 years on we have the legacy sequel. It's not quite 30 years as I was born in 1998 and am only 27, so do the math, but regardless, when I heard that legacy characters were returning I felt excited even though they meant nothing to me. So I dragged poor Jamie along for this slasher late one night and we finally watched a version of I Know What You Did Last Summer. This sequel revolves around a new set of young adults. Five 20-somethings come together for an engagement party when tragedy strikes. Due to the stupidity of one of the group a man crashes over the cliff and they leave him to die. Swearing secrecy, som...
