Who Cares if You're a Normal Type? My Top Normal Type Pokemon.
Unless you have been living under a rock for the last 20 years, Pokémon is a franchise you will have heard of. You may not have played any of the games or watched an episode of the anime or played the trading card game. But chances are you still know the odd pocket monster, such as Pikachu or Eevee. However, there are now nearly 900 of these battle ready monsters for fans to enjoy, and each has their own typing within the games.

A Filmmaker's Best: Stanley Kubrick
Stanley Kubrick was possibly one of the most influential directors ever with a lot of his work being either in the Library of Congress Film Registry or his director styles being imitated by others. When it comes down to it, I can honestly say that many of my own efforts at analysing film have been influenced philosophies and skills initially put to the forefront of cinema by Stanley Kubrick.

Bond James Bond Music Part Two
Never Say Never Again The song for this Bond film was the same as the movie title and sung by Lani Hall. It features on aging Bond by Sean Connery in 1983. It shows Bond making an uncharacteristic mistake during routine training. It makes M believe the legendary spy is past his prime. When SPECTRE member Fatima Bush portrayed by Barbara Carrera and her fellow terrorists successfully steal two nuclear missiles from the U.S. military M reinstates Bond to beat them at their own game.

Bond James Bond Music Part One
Dr. No Agent 007 first appeared on the big screen in 1962 in the movie “Dr. No”. One of my favorite Bond actors portrayed him – Sean Connery. In this movie Bond fought against the mysterious Dr. No who was a scientific genius bent on destroying the U.S. space program. Bond gets sent to tropical Jamaica where he encounters the first lovely Bond woman – Honey Ryder portrayed by Ursula Andress. The movie included the “James Bond Theme” played by John Barry and Orchestra.

10 Movies to Make You Think
Movies are meant to entertain us. As a medium of entertainment that spurned from the ruins of 19th Century Theatre, the cinema was a means of expanding whatever was left of the remnants of the decadent ancestor of fin-de-siecle stage productions. But, as film has evolved, we have been looking for things to challenge us mentally. In our own day of the 2010s, there is little to look at and practically no films which fit the thought-provoking needs of some of its audience members.

3 Live Action Pokémon Movie Plots We Need To See
Detective Pikachu is an incredible show of how a video game can inspire an enjoyable movie. With a worldwide gross of over $431 million, it is the second highest-grossing video game film adaptation of all time (the first being Warcraft which, ironically, has much lower critic ratings than Detective Pikachu). The CGI does a wonderful job of bringing our favourite fantasy monsters to life, and a sequel was announced months before the actual film’s release. As a lifelong Pokémon fan, I found myself squealing and pointing out every single Pokémon I saw – much to the amusement of my partner, who was thankful that we were to busy to see the film while it was in the cinema. Of course, being a Pokémon fan, my mind started wandering to all the untapped potential of live action Pokémon movies. We’ve seen comic book movies take Hollywood by storm, seeping into other genres and showcasing the evolution of the film industry – now it’s Pokémon’s turn to shine.

My Top Ten Favourite Books of All Time
I love reading and I said I would do this when I reached 100 on the list of 2020 reading that I'm doing so here it is. Books are eternal features of joy that contain masses of entire universes within them. I love receiving books for my birthday or for Christmas and if you're interested, at Christmas I received the book "Crying the News" by Vincent DiGirolamo and it was absolutely incredible. I loved every single minute of that book. I only didn't buy it myself because it was quite expensive at £25 and so, I let my parents buy it for my present. I then got a ton of books from the British Library when I went for my birthday present about a month later.
