The best film endings... Whether it's a character that walks/rides into the distance, going back into society/continuing their journey, or a character that simply 'closes' the door, film endings are as equally if not the most important part of the film in emphasising not only meaning to the characters we see on display, but also themes that give us the definitive finale; either in a eerie or positive nature.

In fruition, while X-Men: The Last Stand , this time directed by Brett Ratner instead of Singer who at the time was in favour o...

Finishing Uni/Movement... So... it's been a while hasn't it!! Well, from now on, I'm back for good... well sought of. Hey everyone and how's it going? So basically before going back into reviewing films and talking about film related news etc., I think it's best if I come back to you all with a little bit of an update since I've been a way for a while and there are many things I would like to talk/catch up on. I'll firstly be talking/reflecting about University and how I've basically finished my time there. Then, I'll be talking about the Blog itself and how there are many posts and big changes to expect. Anywho, without further delay, lets roll on... Onwards and upwards: Leaving Uni As many of you will know by now, the reason into why you all haven't seen a Blog Post since late March, is down to the fact that I wanted to focus all my efforts into the final weeks and days of University and finish off a dissertation task that was in...
