To Spark.


An Insight by Rosemarie Cowling.

One of my biggest pleasures in life is sitting down with a new film, the whole experience is one I find absolutely delicious. I will gather my favourite snacks, I'll make myself comfortable; ready to hunker down and be transported to a different world for a period of time that is just mine. By mine, I mean cuddled in beside my husband, usually in bed as this happens to be my happy place.

As such, over the years I have seen an embarrassing amount of films. Some, well, let's just say I'd deny ever having seen them and others stay with you long after they've finished. It's a special type of magic. I believe our tastes in films are as unique as our fingerprints and enjoy swapping recommendations with others. Often a gem is found and added to the library. So, here is my list of gems, not in a particular order. The genres vary, but each holds a special place in my heart. Some made me laugh, some I enjoy with my children, some made me stop and examine how I perceive things around me. Hopefully, you find one to add to your library, too.

2: Saw, Leigh Whannell. 2004.

3: I am Sam, Jessie Nelson. 2001.

To Smoke.

A Review by Luke Cowling. A little backstory on my interest in The Witcher series, I've played a game and I have seen the Netflix series and my opinion on the media that has resulted from that universe is really mixed. But I realise the interest in that universe just might have expanded greatly recently, so I wanted to throw my two cents in on a form of media relating to The Witcher that I received recently. This is my review of the production of the graphic novel collection produces by dark horse and cd recently, and my thoughts on how the print came out, and whether the production warrants an intrusion from your wallet. As always, thank you so much for the support, LPC.
