Bio
So, to put it simply (and slightly cheesily) I'm fascinated with life. And, well, writing about films, TV shows, video games, music, travelling, philosophy and Formula 1 among other is a fun way to explore it.

The Force That Binds the Galaxy Together: 2 Crucial Reasons Why the Jedi Were Wrong to Forbid Love
It's not really a stretch to say that, underneath all of that rich mythology, Star Wars is essentially an exploration of love. It's what drives the heroes of these stories forward and—for better or worse—shapes the fate of an entire galaxy.

Keeping The Right Score: Why Formula 1's Points System Is Long Overdue For a Rethink
Imagine a great and climactic multi-car scrap. One that goes on for lap after lap between different drivers representing different teams. Where positions change and contact is never than a few millimeters away. Perhaps there's a driver who makes the drive of his or her (you never know) life and emerges victorious from it. And then think of the disappointment, when you remember that it was all virtually for nothing, as it was going on way outside the top 10.

From Jar Jar to Dr. Christmas Jones: In Defence Of 3 Disliked Fictional Characters
When looking at some of the most hated characters in fiction, they all seem to have a strange commonality — they're never boring. Sure, we might hate them because they're annoying, tonally off, or downright insulting but they do tend to leave a lasting impression. That, in turn, leads us to a funny little truth. However misguided, there has got to be a fair amount of passion behind them. And where there's passion, there are usually a few hidden virtues to be found.

From Azkaban to the Galaxy Far Away: 3 Video Game Ideas Just Begging to Happen
Video games have come a long way. What was once a simple way to pass the time has now become its own storytelling (and artistic) medium on par with books, television, and film. Something which is perfectly encapsulated in today's video game adaptions of famous properties. No longer are they a way to cash in on them, but rather a vessel to explore these beloved fictional universes in a manner books, tv and film simply can't.

Brilliance Within Clunkiness: 6 Times When The Dialogue In The Star Wars Prequels Was Actually Great
The fall of Anakin Skywalker and the Galactic Republic as depicted in the Star Wars prequels plays out like a true Shakespearean tragedy. Unfortunately, same can't quite be said about the dialogue within them.

8 Cinematic Road Trips Worth Taking
When watching a movie, we go on a journey. Granted, it might just be a metaphorical one and only last an hour or two, but it's nevertheless a real and emotional experience.

Simply put, what better way to invite the viewer on that metaphorical journey than by putting the film's characters through an actual one? So, whether they aim to make us think or simply entertain, let's celebrate the simple brilliance of the road movie sub genre by taking a look at eight excellent cinematic road trips.

3 Factors That Make 'Digimon Adventure' A Triumph In Telling A Story With Multiple Leads
There are many ways to break down the lasting legacy of Digimon Adventure. One could bring up the show's surprisingly mature themes or ingenious world-building. Additionally, seeing some inventively designed monsters fight each other might just play a small part as well.

Spark In The Dark: A Look Into Darth Vader's Twisted Sense Of Humor
"Be careful not to choke on your aspirations, Director." Although it remains to be seen just how well Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is going to stand the test of time with in the Star Wars universe, it's fair to say that the Darth Vader hallway scene has found its place among the franchise's all-time most memorable moments. However, the same can't be said of Vader's earlier cinematic confrontation with Krennic and, more precisely, that quote above, as many fans initially felt it was a bit out of character and an unnecessary addition to an otherwise great scene.

Celebrating The 6 Most Lethal Ladies In The James Bond Franchise
The Bond franchise has had its fair share of critics regarding the way it has approached some of its female characters. Yet, as the years have passed, even the harshest ones will have to admit that, for a series revolving around (as Judi Dench's M once so elegantly put it) "a sexist misogynist dinosaur, Bond has certainly been paired up with a fair amount of more than capable female allies during his missions.

Why The Infamous 'Best Picture Fail' Was Actually A Great Moment For The Oscars
Safe to say that the most talked about Oscars 2017 moment — falsely announcing the winner of the year's biggest film award, and then having that mistakenly proclaimed winner find out about it mid-victory speech — will not go down as the proudest moment in the history of the Academy Awards. Rather obviously, it caused a major heartbreak for one group of people (the amazing cast and crew of La La Land) and partially spoiled a special moment for other (the equally amazing cast and crew of Moonlight).
