Book Review: "Queen Victoria" by Lucy Worsley (Pt. 1)
5/5 - What a fantastic way to start a book on Queen Victoria! *** There is a certain definitive agreement in calling Queen Victoria the "most recogniseable woman in British history" as she seems to be absolutely everywhere. Near where I live there's a 'Victoria Square' and when I travel around the country there seems to be sporadic references or statues of Queen Victoria usually sculpted in all of her regalia, overseeing the public space for all eternity. Lucy Worsley definitely paints a familiarly British portrait of her in the introduction, one that we will all recognise: though we accept her as being a queen in history and a bloody good one at that, she is still a complex figure with a more than complicated legacy. If we were asked whether we like her, there would be no straight answer.

Southern Charm Season 11 Reunion Part 2 Recap: Craig’s Meltdown, Charley Stands Firm & More
Craig Conover’s Walkoff & Empty Threats: Will He Actually Leave Southern Charm? Craig Conover spent a significant portion of the reunion in the hot seat, even walking off the soundstage at one point and complaining about the environment. He tossed around the idea that the show might not be the right fit for him anymore. Let’s be real: Craig has benefited massively from reality television and is not going to surrender that platform easily unless someone explicitly takes it from him.

Harry Potter Trailer: Magic That Still Lives in Memory
There are moments in life when a simple video can take you back to a different time. For many people, watching a Harry Potter trailer brings back a feeling they cannot easily explain. It might remind them of childhood, of waiting for a new film, or of discovering a magical world for the first time. The music, the visuals, and even a few seconds of dialogue can create a deep emotional response. A Harry Potter trailer is not just a preview of a movie. It is an invitation into a story filled with friendship, fear, and wonder. Even years later, these trailers continue to hold meaning. They remind us how stories can stay with us long after the screen goes dark.

Book Review: "Silent Film: A Very Short Introduction" by Donna Kornhaber
You all probably know how much I love silent movies. In my opinion there is something about older cinema that 21st century cinema simply cannot capture. Pre-1960 we had actors with multiple talents, great amounts of malleability and incredible charisma. Nowadays, I would say that is definitely feigning and films has become a lot more vapid, about the 'star quality' and how much plastic surgery one person can get rather than the actual acting talent of the individual. Silent film is the one era of film that cinema has to thank for being the start of it all. From 1895 to the late 1920s, we saw great amounts of changes and business going on and Donna Kornhaber captures it all.
