God Help the Girl (Movie)

I had never heard of Belle and Sebastian before seeing the preview for this movie and I’m not particularly fond of musicals. I wanted to see it based on one line in the preview: “God […]

Frank Review

I’m a bit torn on Frank. On the one hand Michael Fassbender is amazing as a guy who hides himself underneath a very large corny looking head and creates music with a band with an […]
