Once I booked my flights to London, I knew what I had to do: check if there were any shows in the city I wanted to see. While on this hunt, I thankfully remembered to check if Jay Rayner had any shows on during my trip.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey review
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.

So when the news broke that it would be broken … Continue reading The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey review
Book review: 50 Shades of Grey
Twitter alerted me to the "50 Shades" phenomenon, mostly with jokes. I held out against the trend until I thumbed through a copy and found some ridiculous lines staring at me.

Review – X Men: First Class
With many prequels failing the expectations of viewers, I’ve tried to go into a prequel not expecting a single thing. X-Men: First Class however, magnified what little expectations I did have and blew them out into space. This movie was an entertaining, slick and enjoyable watch. It traces the roots of the characters we’ve already … Continue reading Review – X Men: First Class
Review – Fast 5 | The Graduate Times
Review – Fast 5 The fifth film in the series is just as Fast and Furious as the previous four. And just wait for the sixth; I know I am, says Devina Divecha.

Review – Thor | The Graduate Times
Review – Thor The visual scenery in Thor is almost as epic as the original myth itself, says Devina Divecha When you leave the cinema after watching this movie, you will probably hope that The Avengers will have many scenes with Chris Hemsworth throwing his hammer about.
