My Top Ten New York Review Books of All Time
I discovered the New York Review Books a few years ago, possibly just before I'd started university and since then, I have been addicted to exploring them and reading the many books that I thought I would've missed out on. From historical fiction to historical non-fiction, from abstract novels to literary criticism, there is a wide range of books to read in the series that you could hardly ever get bored as a reader.

20 Books of 2020 (Pt. 14)
During these uncertain times, I love to curl up with a good book. Everyone has their favourite reading styles. For me, I wake up at 3am and by 4:30am, I'm sitting down with a mug of coffee and a good book to read. Why? Well, I love the morning time and seeing the sunrise, I love that time of the day because it's all quiet and calming and also because it's one of those times where you really can just kick back and relax for the first few hours of the day.

A Filmmaker's Guide to the 60 Things You Should Know About "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968)
In the Uptown Theatre, Washington D.C on the 2nd of April, 1968 - Stanley Kubrick premiered the epic space film, "2001:A Space Odyssey" (1968). It is clear that this film is one of the greatest films ever made with most people citing it as one of the greatest examples of the Greek/Shakespearean Tragedy in space. It is a brilliant film and a true cinematic experience to watch. Personally, I've seen it a few times and even after watching it a few times, it is still just as overwhelming as it has always been.

A Filmmaker's Review: "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968)
For years, it has been considered as the epitome of Sci-Fi/Epic Drama and has won multiple accolades in the legacy of its release. At 52 years since it was first seen by a mass audience, there are many things in this era still that we can learn from "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968). I have watched this film twice over the past ten to fifteen years and I want to show you why.

Dramatic novels are always the best, I think. I love the mix of emotion alongside these wrenching stories of survival, love and death. It's a brilliantly gushing way to use your reading time. There are many, many dramatic books out there, but I really wanted to go through my top ten most amazing of all of them...

20 Books of 2020 (Pt.13)
I think I've identified the kind of literature I'm reading more and that's Golden Age British Crime Fiction. However, I'm still concentrating on keeping myself attached to reality by reading nonfiction. Unfortunately enough, I haven't really had the taste for fantasy or YA recently as I normally would - which is bothering me. I don't want to think I have grown out of it because they are some of my favourites. However, I won't read something I'm not in the mood to read. I only ever read this much for entertainment.

A Filmmaker's Guide to 30 Things You Should Know About "10 Things I Hate About You" (1999)
"10 Things I Hate About You" (1999) was not only the ultimate teen film whilst many of us were growing up, but was also the break-out role for the incredible and versatile actor, the late Heath Ledger. Not his first role, it is his biggest to that date. There is something really endearing about this film and although I despise teen rom-coms, I absolutely adore this film. It is so different to most others because there is a serious depth to it and it is based on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew".

20 Books of 2020 (Pt.12)
Reading books is one of the biggest highlights of my entire existence. Without it I think I would go completely blank and void of any thought or feeling whatsoever. I feel like I've been given a great opportunity when it comes to reading because I enjoy it so much. I never believe people who say they don't like reading - they just haven't found the right book for them yet. Thankfully, I was very, very young when I discovered my love of reading. I would now like to take the time to talk to you about my mother, who nurtured this...

A Filmmaker's Guide to the Best Films by Quentin Tarantino
Quentin Tarantino is one of the world's foremost storytellers and has created some of the most incredible satirical works in cinema history. He has managed to transcend genres and give his work the authentic seal of his own style which means you only have to watch the trailer to know the work is that of Tarantino. His explorations into creating great auteur cinema has become one of his best attributes and his ability to create satires that feature key moments such as murder to jazz music, insane amounts of profanity and multiple sub-plots that converge upon each other in the final act of the film have become signature to him so that others who use this style are accused of copying him.
