Isolation: You'll Never Go To The Countryside Again!!

Generic titles such as this one are usually just for show, to sucker the reader into the story, but this is a genuine feeling I got after viewing this film. The film is set on an idealised farm in Ireland, but all is not as it seems. As the audience are starting to be introduced to the characters and their everyday lives, it is revealed that the farm has been subject to many medical experiments. It’s safe to say that the experiment backfires somewhat, without giving too much away. Therefore all does not go well for said characters, and there are many gruesome moments involving some of them in this film. 

Peaky Blinders Plays A Blinder

Yes, I cringe at the title of the post too but I just had to. The BBC's Peaky Blinders is fantastic and you should watch it. I was planning on writing about it before the show aired but because I'm an idiot I'm giving this to you in time for episode four! I could probably just leave it at that but because I'm long and like to talk I'll expand, don't worry I'll try not to spoil it for you.

If you haven't already watched it or heard of it take a look at this press release:

Jacob's Ladder: Nightmares are Guaranteed!

One of the most strange and compelling films I’ve ever seen. It can’t be put any more simply than that. This was recommended to me by a friend of mine, and I’m thankful for that recommendation. Never before in my life have I been filled with such a sense of dread and despair, and I could not take my eyes off the screen. Questions about my mental state aside; Jacob’s ladder is a masterpiece of horror by every stretch of the imagination.  Long story short, after leaving the army Jacob begins encountering horrific hallucinations and is starting to question his own sanity. As the movie progressed the imagery became more and more bizarre and escalated to a point where I nearly contemplated fast-forwarding to a more peaceful moment in the film. But it kept pummelling me with every turn and I eventually accepted that that was the point of the entire experience. The amount of horrific imagery conjured up in this movie is almost beyond belief, with the main character Jacob Singer (played expertly by Tim Robbins) encountering stuff that could give nightmares; well nightmares. Not to spoil anything, but in one particular scene I was so fearful for Jacob’s wellbeing and his state of mind that I was almost mimicking his pleas for help. 

How I Met Your Mother Returns! For The Last Time.

The end is near my friends, the final season of How I Met Your Mother has begun! The season of the mother! I'm not going to lie, I thought having another season was a bad idea, it's had a long run and is still funny at times but it's tired and worn out and you could see that through the prolonging of storylines which should've died a long time ago and the characters becoming less and less endearing. I also didn't really like the idea of them featuring the mother heavily. I mean, how can the mother live up to the person that they've described to us, the perfect person for Ted? Well, judging by the first episode I was both right and wrong. Spoilers ahead for the latest series

I Never Really Watched Breaking Bad. Please Don't Throw A Slipper At Me!

With all the buzz about the ending of Breaking Bad you would've thought that we'd have posted about it right? Well, the truth it I never really watched it. Please don't hate me.

My reasoning is that I was young and stupid, I get that thats an excuse everyone uses for things like a terrible one night stand or and unwanted pregnancy but it really is true. Sure, I was reaaaallllyyyy into television around the time it started but for some reason I didn't pick it up back then and apparently many others didn't. Most people that I've spoken too got into it way after it started and Netflixed the series and caught up, and kept telling me how great it is and how I really needed to get into it. I did catch an episode in the middle of season 3 and I admit it was an amazing show but way too much time had passed for me to just begin watching it. What I tend to do is discover a show and then watch it day and night until I catch up so I can actually talk about it and about how amazing it is as it's airing.

A Lady In Supernatural?

Supernatural is an amazing show, of course it's had dark times (lets call it the reign of Sera Gamble) but it's now back on form! One of the reasons Supernatural has become such an  un-axable force to be reckoned with is its fans, some of the most dedicated fans I've seen and have kept it alive for so long. They love the show, and the boys in it which is brilliant! Apart from it's not. You see the fans really love Sam and Dean Winchester and don't want anything to get in the way of their relationship which is fine unless the fans become vicious about it, examples of this are when ladies that may end up being love interests are introduced. Remember how Jo Harvelle was basically forced out of the show before she was even introduced by fans? I do, I liked her and thought she had potential and her popping up in season 5 showed that she did and I wish I could've seen her along the way. So yeah, wanting to protect the boys relationship is fine I just think you should give some characters a chance, you never know what they might bring to the show. Now, onto the reason I'm posting today. Castiel.

There will be spoilers ahead if you haven't caught the latest season yet.

The angel of the lord was introduced in season 4, and as time has wore on he has become more humanised and a fan favourite character, I tend to see him as a surrogate brother to the boys. Oh, lets not forget the celestial dry cleaning, it's fab. Well at the end of last season he became a full on human and my God will that be brilliant! I loved watching him grapple with his humanity for the past few seasons, trying to figure out where his loyalties lie and watching him attempt to embrace humanity was kind of hilarious, remember the brothel scene (granted that's Dean's form of humanity). It's always enjoyable to watch him understand humans, and I think it'll be amazing to embrace humanity in its entirety. That includes love and sex.

Molly Deserves Better Than Sherlock

I think I should probably start a Sherlock section seeing how much I write about it, and here comes another one! After joining the fandom i've started to browse the internet for news on it, and frequenting message boards one thing has popped up a few times. Sherlock and Molly shipping. Called Sherlolly. Seriously.

I'm not exactly the biggest fan of shipping, I'm also not into romances on shows unless they add to the show. A romance between Sherlock and Molly wouldn't add anything to the show at present, and I don't think it would be a good idea if Moffat and Gatiss to force a romance between them it. I think that happens wayyyy to often when people shipping shout loud enough and the writers listen and incorporate it into the show. I don't mind the Johnlock shipping because theres no way in hell that that will possibly happen so I let the shippers ship, it reminds me of the Wincest around Supernatural, that ones quite funny really.
