Book Review: "Secret Rendezvous" by KÅbÅ Abe
This book is about a man who searches for his missing wife after she disappears from a hospital and people are refusing to help him. From cracking a cold beer open in a morgue to not being able to use an elevator because you go up into some part of the hospital and come down dead - this man is not just comically frantic, but the drama is heavy. I say the drama is heavy because of the way we go from being comically frantic to a man who is trying to find his own identity whilst also trying to find out where his wife is and why she is gone.

Schindlerās List (1993)
In this article, we will be looking at 2019ās book ā1001 Movies to See Before You Dieā and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I wonāt be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself youāll have to buy it. But I will be covering the bookās suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldnāt doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. Weāre going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but weāre also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like āJokerā will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then donāt hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Letās get on with it then.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: Unreliable Narrators
In this chapter of āthe filmmakerās guideā weāre actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the āfilmmakerās guideā - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how youāre doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmakerās guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

Christmas Fruit Spice Cupcakes
Of course, you probably know me very well for invading Vocal with my film studies stuff and articles entitled āa filmmakerās guideā. I have often explained that I love to bake as well. Since I was young, I have loved the idea, the creativity and the relaxation of baking different things. I love to make macarons, layer cakes and gingerbread in particular and the activity of it really gets me away from my laptop (where Iām sure you know that I spend most of my life). So, I hope you enjoy me talking about what I bake and why I bake it complete with pictures (if not very good) of me actually baking, my baked goods in the process of being created and when theyāre finished. Iām really happy to share this with you. And if you like, you can show me your baking (yes, I spend a lot of time writing, but I also spend a lot of time reading other peopleās articles!), I would love to see it. Since I was in school, I was always interested in creating things, whether that be pieces of writing, welding things to make small statues or baking foods and making sweets (candy, if youāre American). I hope you enjoy looking at some of the stuff that has honestly kept me sane, because I seem to be going slightly mad.

Book Review: "The Stone Man" by Luke Smitherd
This book was really strange because it was one of my random reads of the week and instead of going straight for the reviews before buying it - I just bought it and went into reading the thing as soon as it came to my door. I enjoyed the concept, I enjoyed the idea of the stone man but what I did not enjoy was the characters or the writing style. Forgive me, but I feel like the writing style is a bit too post-modern for me. It is too out there and when the descriptive nature is constantly being interrupted by another narrative, it is really hard to get going. I can understand why others enjoy it, but it just was not for me. It is a book that honestly employs different storytelling techniques and for someone who knows what they enjoy in fiction, I could not get into this one.
