Let’s talk social responsibility: the documentaries you need to watch on Netflix

I’ve always been a big believer that film is one of the most powerful and influential mediums. In many respects film is a way for filmmakers to offer their view on the world, whether this is through fictitious allegories or observational documentaries. Either way it’s a view into someone else’s world – a world millions…

Travel: Happiest in the middle of nowhere

I love my job – I’m incredibly lucky to be that person who wakes up in the morning and is happy to go to work. Another perk of my job is meeting so many different people including musicians, artists, theatre directors, Jeremy Corbyn, Phill Jupitus, independent business owners, charity trustees and so many more. But,…

Film review: Mother!

Psycho mother, qu’est-ce que c’est… If it’s controversial and twisted, it’s going in the film column. Mother! is not the most conventional horror, but it’s very in line with Aronofsky’s mind-fuck approach to his films. It’s definitely not for everyone, but for this former film student it’s genius.

Films for Action: Blackfish

  There's a very popular hashtag trend on Twitter and it goes by #EmptyTheTanks. If you were to search this I guarantee you'll see links to Gabriela Cowperthwaite's Blackfish and it is clear why.

The leading front runner of this campaign is the courgette, which has quickly established a #courgettecrisis and for good reason. Now while we can appreciate it's easy…

My 2017 Reading List

In tune with my new practical outlook it seemed fitting that my new year's resolution followed suit: READ MORE! As an aspiring blogger in pursuit of a job…

Top Dietary Documentaries (On Netflix)

If you have had a gander at my previous blog posts, you can make the safe assumption that I'm into my food. I'm no pro, but I primarily upload food posts because of my enjoyment of cooking, and sharing is caring. I'm super guilty, as I enjoy my fast food, but I do aim for…

Thought of the day: the weatherman

Climate change has always been an issue, but apparently it's under the radar as long as it does not cause too much destruction. I live in the UK and like most I have been following the coverage on hurricane Desmond - his lasted attack was in Cumbria. Now, I live roughly 4 hours away from Cumbria,…
