So I Watched GoT’s Season 8 Premiere, ‘Winterfell’…

Posted on April 15, 2019 by Ginny C

Game of Thrones is back. I know it’s been two years of longingly waiting, but now that winter is finally here, I don’t want it to end. It will be over before we have even assimilated it’s back! Six weeks is nothing! What are we going to do with our lives after this? Wait for the sequels? Rewatch the whole thing over again? Hope that Prince Charles Cinema will host a weekly marathon of each season? I throw premiere parties, what excuse am I going to have to make my friends cocktails now? Continue reading →

El Ministerio del Tiempo 1×03 Review: The Way Time is Rewritten

Posted on March 13, 2019 by Ginny C

A time-travel show doesn’t become a proper time-travel show until it has its mandatory “we meet Hitler and have the dilemma of whether or not we should kill him” storyline. Here, it’s not really that the characters are thrown in that direction straightaway, but rather, they happen upon a conflict that might eventually only get solved if said assassination takes place.

Films To Watch on Valentine’s Day if You Are a Sarcastic, Sceptic Being

Posted on February 14, 2019 by Ginny C

I have never cared for Valentine’s Day. Honestly. Whether I am single or not, I have always thought of the day as a consumerist excuse to buy presents just because, with the added pressure of failing if the present is not the best. I really don’t see the point, because couples already have their anniversaries to celebrate -in fact, that is what they should celebrate, not just some random day fairly close to Christmas.

Outlander 4×13 ‘Man of Worth’: Live Recap

Posted on January 29, 2019 by Ginny C

For the past 24 hours, I have been apprehensive about writing this recap, because it meant that, once I did it, the Droughtlander would begin. Again. But I can’t postpone the inevitable, so here we go. To make the wait for season 5 shorter, I have Seven Stones to Stand or Fall, and I got The Fiery Cross from the library, although I don’t know if I will read it because a) I enjoy being surprised by the events on the show, and b) it looks looooong. Not that I don’t like long books (I read Ken Follett’s in a weekend), but, you know, I don’t know if I want to invest my time on a book that might make me dislike season 5 later on. I’m torn.

This is the episode where Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe had a blast, because I am sure they spent the week away on some tropical resort taking advantage of their holiday time.

Outlander 4×11 ‘If Not For Hope’: Live Recap

Posted on January 19, 2019 by Ginny C

I just hope things will get better from now on, because these past  few episodes have been a down-fest. I don’t know, at least I know we are getting John Grey back on this episode. How he always manages to casually be around the Frasers, I don’t know, but I won’t complain if it means he returns. Continue reading →

Film Review: Aquaman

Posted on January 9, 2019 by Ginny C

It is difficult to review a superhero film, because the scale is different. How am I going to talk about a comic book movie and put it in the same scale as your typical Oscar-bait tear-jerker? Which is something film critics should stop doing, by the way. But at least I can say this: even the worst Marvel film is better than the best DC one. Continue reading →

Posted on January 1, 2019 by Ginny C

I wish Starz would stop SPOILING the episodes. I have known for a week now that Brianna and Jamie are going to meet on this episode. Why couldn’t they let me be surprised? I hate it. Continue reading →
