Movie Review: Captain Marvel

March 8, 2019 ~ Devina Divecha ~ Leave a comment

Let's get straight into it. We meet Vers (pronounced 'Veers'; played by Brie Larson), a Kree warrior who has lost her memory and has no recollection about her life growing up - what she does have is odd dreams. When we meet her, she's part of a little warrior group, led by Yon-Rogg (Jude Law), … Continue reading Movie Review: Captain Marvel

Movie Review: Ocean’s 8

August 24, 2018 ~ Devina Divecha ~ Leave a comment

This post comes out a fair bit of time after the movie release, but it's taken me a while to put my thoughts together, and I saw it twice, so I feel like I have more insight into how I feel about the film. So you're thinking, she has seen it twice - so does … Continue reading Movie Review: Ocean’s 8

Movie Review: Mamma Mia 2 – Here We Go Again

August 5, 2018August 5, 2018 ~ Devina Divecha ~ Leave a comment

I watch the sequel to Mamma Mia, out 10 years after the original, and find it still can make you sing and dance!

Movie Review: Game Night

March 22, 2018March 16, 2018 ~ Devina Divecha ~ Leave a comment

The premise of Game Night is relatively simple: a group of die-hard gamers (who indulge mostly in board games) enter a real-life 'game' of their own where the stakes are life or death. And hey, it's a comedy! Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams star as Max and Annie, and they are introduced to us in … Continue reading Movie Review: Game Night

Movie Review: Black Panther

March 11, 2018March 10, 2018 ~ Devina Divecha ~ Leave a comment

It's been a while since I saw Black Panther, but I've been: (a) too busy to pen all my thoughts down (b) letting these thoughts percolate into something more cohesive than: 'OMG THAT WAS AMAZING'. If you haven't seen the movie yet, have a look at the trailer before moving on... I'll keep this as … Continue reading Movie Review: Black Panther

Some autism movies on my to-watch list

February 19, 2016 ~ Devina Divecha ~ 1 Comment

In the last few weeks, I've come across two movie trailers, where the main protagonist is autistic. I'm always curious to see how people with autism spectrum disorders are portrayed in the cinema. So I'll definitely try and watch them. I'll post reviews if I get to see them! Here are the trailers, let me … Continue reading Some autism movies on my to-watch list

May the Fourth be with you, always

May 4, 2014February 19, 2016 ~ Devina Divecha ~ Leave a comment

IT'S STAR WARS DAY!!! And right on time, I got an awesome press release drop in my inbox the other day... if you're a Star Wars fan, you'll like this one. Rdio has put together a playlist to "make you feel like a Jedi" (YEAH I WANNA FEEL LIKE A JEDI!).  You can click on the … Continue reading May the Fourth be with you, always

Minor spoilers, none give away plot but refer to elements within the movie. Man of Steel follows the story of baby Kal-El from the planet Krypton who is jettisoned into space by his parents Jor-El and Lara when General Zod attempts to take over the planet, which is rapidly dying. Kal-El crashes into Earth and … Continue reading Movie review: Man of Steel

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey review

December 16, 2012February 19, 2016 ~ Devina Divecha ~ 1 Comment

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is the story of Bilbo Baggins and his adventures in Middle Earth. I read the book after I read, and saw, the Lord of the Rings series. I remember when I read the books thinking that The Hobbit was an easier and quicker read than LOTR. So when the news broke that it would be broken … Continue reading The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey review

The Warner Bros Harry Potter Studio Tour, Leavesden

May 26, 2012August 4, 2017 ~ Devina Divecha ~ Leave a comment

Around 10 days before I was due to fly out to the UK, I saw a tweet from @DaddyBird about a Hogwarts castle being built as part of a Harry Potter studio tour in the UK. Quickly looking it up, I was excited to find the attraction was opening up on March 31, 2012. And … Continue reading The Warner Bros Harry Potter Studio Tour, Leavesden
