If you have read my previous reviews, you might have noticed that I have a predilection for all things reflections, as well as for all things Michael Jackson. Therefore it should not come as a surprise that this book caught my attention. After all, it does describe itself as a book to be “appreciated by… Read More Book Review: The Resistible Demise of Michael Jackson Edited by Mark Fisher
More often that not, the thirst for anything Michael Jackson-related has increased exponentially after his passing. Even hardcore fans who know everything there is to know seem to have broken down and accumulated more Michael Jackson memorabilia – well, at least the many hardcore fans that I know are doing that. As for me, I… Read More DVD Review: Michael Jackson – The Life and Times of The King of Pop 1958-2009
The movie Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire is difficult yet inspiring to watch. Precious is a teenager who is humiliated and degraded at the hands of the people who should have protected her: her parents (especially her mother).

Nothing beats a good ghost story. From Sixth Sense to The Others to The X-Files’ episode “How the Ghosts Stole Christmas”, these are the stories that got me into writing in the first place. Thus it comes as no surprise that I jumped at the opportunity to watch Deadline, a haunted house movie featuring Brittany… Read More DVD Review: Deadline
Supernatural’s last episode before its six-week hiatus was nothing short of underwhelming. Don’t get me wrong; the episode was, in itself, fantastic. It wasn’t just a filler; it brought in another Apocalypse-related figure, i.e. our second Horseman of the Apocalypse, Famine. However, only die-hard fans will be left wanting more, and anxiously counting down the… Read More TV Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 14: My Bloody Valentine
As The Devil Wears Prada is one of my favourite movies of 2006 (especially given Meryl Streep’s amazing performance), and Vogue’s September issue is one of the few fashion magazines I regularly buy, I was excited to hear about a movie called The September Issue, which chronicles the making of the 2007 edition of that… Read More DVD Review: The September Issue
