Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 Review | Film & TV

WARNING! THE FOLLOWING REVIEW DOES INCLUDE SOME SPOILERS!

If you are a returning reader to my blog, you would have probably already guessed that I am a fan of the superhero movie craze that has dominated cinema in the last decade or so, particularly the Marvel cinematic universe. When I heard that Guardians of the Galaxy was getting a sequel I was excited but also a little apprehensive. It is common knowledge that the sequel of a movie franchise, and even in the case of some series of books, never lives up to its predecessor. With the success of the first Guardians of the Galaxy, it was clear that this sequel would either be amazing or really dull. 

Thirteen Reasons Why Review | Film & TV

A few years ago, I read and reviewed, Jay Asher’s YA novel Thirteen Reasons Why and loved it. So, when the news came out that Netflix had got the rights to produce a 13-part series based on the book, I was beyond excited. For those of you who don’t know the story, which is pretty unlikely as it has been one of the most talked about Netflix originals in history, the story follows awkward teen Clay Jensen as he comes to terms with the shocking suicide of his close friend, Hannah Baker. Returning home from school one day, Clay finds a box addressed to him filled with 7 cassette tapes recorded by the recently deceased Hannah Baker. Going through the tapes one by one, Clay discovers the thirteen reasons why Hannah killed herself and uncovers many hidden secrets of his senior class along the way.
