Book: The Rosie Project

I am trying to read more – and so I stole this book from my neighbour – The Rosie Project, by Graeme Simsion. Don’t ask me to pronounce that. (honestly, I can’t even remember the last time I finished a full book. I am failing in life, the real type of failing, not the one […]

Film: Trainwreck

I think Trainwreck was a train wreck. And this isn’t just because they touted it as a movie from the guy who brought you Bridesmaids (which, surprise! I didn’t like either) but also because I thought it was so comedically flat. It’s like they told Amy, hey! Write a movie! And she was like, I’m […]

Film: Ted 2

Ok they should never make sequels ever ever ever. That  said, Ted 2 had some genuinely funny laugh-out-loud parts. But they still shouldn’t have made the movie. I am over the teddy bear (I do love Seth McFarlane though. Family Guy remains one of my favourite shows, and A Million Ways to Die in the […]

Film: The Age Of Adaline

I never paid attention to Miss Knightley in Pirates of the Caribbean. Everyone – including the barely talented Orlando Bloom (nonetheless, I love him as […]

Series: Empire (Season 1 Episode 6)

I was feeling a little hot after this episode aired! What! I need chips (as a cure for everything in life, of course. Fuck a diet, a dollar and a dream – Derek Luke is on Empire! *squeals*) So I know I’m late (HA!) but g2g was having issues and I only just saw the […]

Film: The Best Man Holiday

If you haven’t already watched it. The Best Man Holiday is a sequel (surprise!) to the movie The Best Man, which came out in 1999. Still featuring the same old (gorgeous) cast, this movie takes us forward 15 years (literally) to when Harper’s next book needs to come out, pasts of stripper wives are revealed […]

Book: Brainstorm

A blog called Brainstorm was nominated for, and won, Best Political Blog at BAKE last year (or was it the year before? They should win every year). With good reason. In addition to their prolific commentary on Kenya’s consistently charged sociopolitical scene, they publish and distribute – for FREE! – every quarter (that’s three months, […]
