Bio
So, to put it simply (and slightly cheesily) I'm fascinated with life. And, well, writing about films, TV shows, video games, music, travelling, philosophy and Formula 1 among other is a fun way to explore it.

Lights, Camera, Action: 6 Ways To Pull Off A Slick Action Thriller
"Human beings must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it."— Albert Einstein In a sense, a great action film works on the same grounds as an awesome dance act — it aims to satisfy this craving for the perfectly paced and fluent movement, which is present in all of us. Also, it's probably the safest way to do so.

'The Dark Knight' And 'Black Sails' — A Fascinating Combo For Exploring The Human Nature
Are we only as good as the world allows us to be? That question has refused to leave my head while following the stories of all the irresistibly varied and conflicted characters in Black Sails — a gritty depiction of the Golden Age of Piracy and a sort of prequel story to the classic Treasure Island book.

Why Is the 'Star Wars' Prequel Trilogy Becoming More Appreciated?
When Disney bought Lucasfilm and announced their ambitious plans, it looked like an end of the line for the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Honestly, I really thought that they would have been forgotten and pushed into the outer rim of galaxy by all of the new and, hopefully, brilliant content, that we were about to get. Fast forward to 2016 and, as was predicted, we have indeed gotten a lot of amazing new Star Wars content.

When It Comes to Superhero Ensemble Villains, Are the DCEU and MCU Playing It Too Safe?
When I think of ensemble superhero epics like The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Suicide Squad, there are more than enough reasons to smile. For example? All the iconic lead characters portrayed by brilliant actors and actresses who share a great chemistry. Also, how can one forget the epic action scenes that offer plenty of eye candy? But I seem to be forgetting something — the villains. Probably for a good reason, too. In none of the aforementioned films are the baddies particularly memorable.

Staring into the Darkness: Do We Really Want to Know More About Star Wars' Emperor Palpatine?
The idea of exploring the character of Emperor Palpatine, or should I say Darth Sidious, is like staring into a mysterious dark cave or standing at the edge of a seemingly bottomless pit. It looks menacing but you don't know what exactly is inside. Furthermore, part of you probably doesn't want to know. Yet, you can't help but to be fascinated by it. The recent news of a shelved Star Wars: Underworld TV series, that was to focus on Palpatine's backstory and make him a relatable character, have brought attention to a fascinating question that many (including myself) have pondered over for ages. Should we explore that character further? Let's look at some some of the arguments on why we should (a spin-off or a TV show), while also offering some counter arguments on why he should be left as he is now.

4 Times in Animated TV Shows When the Good Guys Got It Wrong
Naturally, part of the fun of following a TV show is discovering and getting to know its characters. The thing to keep in mind here is that we are not defined by how we enjoy success, but rather how we handle failure. Therefore, it's essential for the good guys to mess up every once in a while.

The Evolution of James Bond's Identity: 00?
It might be an odd thing to say when talking about one of the most iconic figures in popular culture, but James Bond is an enigma. After more than half a century of existence, most of us have at least some sort of an opinion on who or what agent 007 should be. However, as the recent discussions regarding potential successors for Daniel Craig have highlighted, these opinions are massively varied and often contradictive.

Everything You Need to Know About 'The Disaster Artist'
When one dives into the fascinating world of independent cinema, you're bound to come across some of the most intriguingly odd films and filmmakers out there. However, perhaps none more so than than the 2003 cult classic The Room and it's star, director, writer and producer Tommy Wiseau. Indeed, often labelled as the "Citizen Kane of bad movies" or "the best unintentional comedy ever made", the surreal absurdity of what was presumeably supposed to be a romantic drama has left film fans simultaneously preplexed and captivated over just what was going through Wiseau's mind when he put that thing together.

Mace Windu: A Fascinating Contradiction
One of the most powerful Jedi of his time and second only to master Yoda in the Jedi Council's hierachy, Mace Windu is probably my favourite Star Wars side character. Although, it's not beacause he probably has the coolest lightsaber, or that he is played by awesomeness personafied that is Samuel L. Jackson. In fact, I don't even find Mace particularly likeable. Rather, I find him endlessely fascinating.
