Back in 2017 (wow, so long ago, what does time even mean?) my girlfriends and I trekked into London! I think we were seeing a play, but we stopped off at the Maple Leaf beforehand. We had some Canadian beers and watched part of a hockey game on TV. It was weird how homey and comforting it was. I don't even really like hockey....

Recently I watched Kajillionaire - I went into it knowing absolutely nothing. This one is STRANGE but I found it hard to look away.
The whole thing is bizarre but the acting is fabulous (Evan Rachel Wood is so so good and I almost didn't realise it was her!). Plus the plot is really unique and a b...

Okay. This one is weird, and I think it would be boring and off-putting for a lot of people.
But! If you like something a bit different, a bit arty, I would totally recommend I Love My Body!
While it's a French film, the language is English so you don't need to bother with subtitles. When you brea...

My partner has perfected homemade pizza - it's truly beautiful and not too impossible, either!
We use this recipe for the dough - doesn't need kneading, just make it and leave it overnight : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cqYiUm...

I finally got around to watching The Witch (or The VVItch)! I found it super creepy, eery, uncomfortable and spooky! The hardest part of the film is that the dialogue is all in a historical "New English" language which can be tricky to understand. But you'll get it.
It's certainly a slow-burn and arty s...

I watched the new movie Promising Young Woman and it was pretty good! Honestly, I was quite surprised by the ending. There are some triggering sexual assault situations, so something to keep in mind...
Not my favourite movie, but worth a watch and a pretty unique storyline, too.
Someone asked if I...

Happy Saturday!! Anyone up for some butterbeer?
Here's the two butterbeer recipes I used:
A few years ago, two of my girlfriends and I took the train up to York for the weekend. And naturally, I left my camera at home!
Here's a few shots that my friends took - they were kind enough to let me steal their photos.
York was rainy and cold but such a beautiful city. I'd love to go back eventually - perhaps ...

Recently I watched the documentary The Dissident about the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I really didn't know much about it originally, but the documentary clearly explains the complex story in a way that's easy to understand. I'm sure things were omitted and "dumbed down" a bit for us simple fo...

Remember those cute movies where some kid in the neighbourhood solves crimes, like Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys? Have you ever thought what happens when they grow up into a depressed 30 year old?
I watched The Kid Detective and loved it. Dark humour, really interesting story, some real surprises - I lov...

Recently I watched I'm Your Woman (I think via Amazon Prime) - it was pretty good! A little bit slow at times, but an interesting take on a 70s crime film. A good 3.5/5 for me! Plus the outfits/costumes... so good.
Anyone watched it already?? I think it's worth a watch!

The other night I watched Sound of Metal and loved it!
I've never seen a film with this story line (no spoilers), plus the acting was incredible and really moving! I really recommend it if you're looking for something emotional (and fantastic) to watch. A solid 4.5/5 for me.

Recently I watched another 2020 film - The Wolf of Snow Hollow! At first I was like: "Wait. Is this bad? I'm not really sure. Is it so good that it's going over my head? Or is it just bad?"
In the end, it's just a little bit strange! I'd still recommend it if you're looking for something to watch, but I...

I recently watched Possessor (the uncut version) and really enjoyed it!! It's pretty blatantly violent and strange, but I thought it was a really cool concept and a good film! Sci-fi meets violent assassin!
Most of the movie (if not all) is filmed in the Toronto area so you can see a bit of Canada! Cool...
