Community: “Geothermal Escapism” (S5, E5)
The fifth episode in Community‘s steadily improving fifth season, “Geothermal Escapism”, was a bittersweet episode. While it saw the show return to the anarchic, rapid-fire pop culture-referencing form which characterised its iconic paintball episodes, “Modern Warfare” (E1, S23), “A Fistful of Paintballs” and “A Few Paintballs More” (S2, E23/E24), Continue Reading

Book review: The Fault in our Stars by John Green (+ trailer for the upcoming film adaptation)
Death is never an easy topic to grapple with, either in real life or in literature. It is usually avoided entirely, or talked about in quaint euphemisms, but when a brave soul does decide to tackle this most taboo of subjects head on, the sentiments often tend towards the Continue Reading

Hey presto! Watch these 5 books turn into movies before your very eyes #1
Books have long been a source for movie makers, coming as they (often but not always) do with ready made stories, built-in audiences and brand name recognition (to use an awful marketing term). It is a process as old as cinema itself beginning with books like L Frank Baum’s Continue Reading
