I wasn’t the biggest fan of the first Fantastic Beasts so I wasn’t excited for The Crimes of Grindelwald and I had pretty low expectations – and that feeling was accurate because the film is just a bit meh.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: Film Review
November 17, 2016 by 1 Comment
I wasn’t a big Harry Potter nerd but I liked and enjoyed the films so was interested to see how Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them would connect to that world. Like the franchise, it is entertaining and magical but it just lacked a certain something for me. I expect fans to loved it wholeheartedly but I thought it was just good.

January 2, 2016 by Leave a Comment
The trailers for The Danish Girl brought tears to my eyes and I expected it to be as powerful and emotional as The Theory of Everything, but I can sadly report that I was disappointed. I went in with tissues, preparing to be seriously moved, so I was very surprised by how little this affected me.
