What I've Been Watching Lately

I thought it would be good for me to list what I’ve been watching of late, but not as reviews but little snippets of information and feelings. A lot of what I talk about watching will no doubt later become reviews for my site. So everyone keep your eyes posted for some of the things that I list here. That isn’t to say that I will definitely be reviewing everything I talk about, but they will no doubt influence future content.

So lately I’ve been watching:

Mad Men:

I completed the show last night and wow is the word. I was so immersed in the show and didn’t want it to end. Mad Men truly is one of my favourite shows and one of the most stylish and well-written series to be aired.

The works of Zalman King:

The purveyor of the erotic genre, Zalman King’s movies and also television work may be sniffed at by some, but I’ve fully been digging them. Recently I got a copy of Season 1 of Red Shoe Diaries, and it’s really hot stuff. And that’s saying something, with the weather where I am warm, I’ve needed to take a few showers after watching some of the steamy antics.

Period Dramas:

I’ll freely admit to being a fan of period dramas. I find that exploring the way people used to live and the historical context highly intriguing. Plus, production wise period dramas always look so beautiful and well-designed, yet the best ones never forget a good narrative or characters.

I’ll be sure to do many more posts like this in the future so feel free to leave me some feedback.

Birthday, Happy Birthday, Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman 2016The wonderfully talented and beautiful Natalie Portman turns 35 today and I want to wish her a happy birthday. There is something about Natalie Portman that is hard to not like; she just has a lot of charisma and a hell of a lot of talent. Bursting onto the scene at the age of 12 with her role in Leon, Portman showcased a startling maturity. This depth has translated well to her later roles and is one of the reasons I love her so much as an actress. She really gets into the character and can say so much without the use of dialogue, her dark eyes can convey more than many can in a long monologue. She has truly grown before our eyes into a fully-fledged star, who chooses her films wisely and is always up for a challenge or two. With Natalie Portman, I just know she will deliver a fine performance and looking through her credits she most certainly does. What an amazing actress she truly is!
