By zarinamacha January 17, 2018November 20, 2020
2018 / Books Films Music TV / Disney / Film Reviews

I love Moana. It’s an incredible movie with a spirited, kind heroine, and breaks away from the ‘fairtytale’ trope to focus on adventure and finding yourself. It speaks about the environment, humanity and how we treat each other. Here’s why I think it’s one of Disney’s best. Moana is a […]

2017 / Books Films Music TV / Film Reviews / My Favourite...

I really had to narrow this down from about 150 movies (I love movies…obviously). So here are my top 40 to-die-for films, all of which I have seen multiple times. (Note: this is going to be a very long post.)   4321. This action-packed thriller is the story of four […]
