Jurassic World - Fond Memories Made New

First of all, I must put this out there: I’m probably not that impartial towards this movie. Second: I loved it. It’s not perfect, but I do kind of love it regardless.

Childhood Memories

I remember Jurassic Park, I watched it when I was a kid, my first time in a movie theater with my cousins on what was a really nice day, one that stuck with some of my fondest memories. That’s maybe one of the reasons I like it so much…

Watching this one, now as an adult, with my husband, was a strange way to recall that day, and it was pretty good.

Not Perfect, Still Amazing

With Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard (Rocketman) as protagonists, this movie will make you laugh, jump, and roll your eyes at different points.

It’s not exactly mysterious, you know from the very beginning that, eventually, all hell will break loose, and at some points, you can even imagine how or why. But surprisingly, this didn’t seem to take the interest out of the story.

What if...?

These movies, with so much need for CGI, and such impossibilities, can always leave you thinking “would this somehow be possible?”, yet, in this case, I doubt you’d be bored by it.

You’ll feel a bit of adrenaline running through your body and be totally focused on the beautiful and action-packed imagery on the screen.

Funny fact: by the end of the movie, the only thing I kept thinking was how flabbergasted I was, asking myself, “How the hell can she run the whole movie in those shoes?!”

Gangsta Granny – Hilarious and Surprisingly Moving

I have a ten-year-old daughter, and one thing we like to do is read the same books so we can talk about them afterward. Gangsta Granny was a birthday gift for her, and she read it so quickly that it immediately made me curious. When a child finishes a book that fast, you know something is working. When I finally read it myself, I was pleasantly surprised — and completely charmed. A Story That Is Funny and Moving At first glance, Gangsta Granny is a crazy, over-the-top, and very funny story. David Walliams clearly knows how to make children laugh, using absurd situations, exaggerated characters, and a fast-moving plot that keeps young readers hooked. But beneath the humour, the book is also sweet, touching, and emotionally rich. What starts as a wild adventure slowly reveals a story about family, loneliness, empathy, and learning to truly see the people around us. This balance reminded me of Roald Dahl’s books , where outrageous humour and emotional depth coexist effortles...

The Handmaid’s Tale – From Brilliant to Frustrating

When The Handmaid’s Tale first aired, it felt sharp, terrifying, and painfully necessary. I wrote about the first season as a dark and brilliant adaptation, one that used restraint, symbolism, and dread to tell its story. Now that I've finished the third season, my opinion has shifted — not wholly, but noticeably. The show is still good . Sometimes very good. But it also became frustrating, uneven, and less powerful than it could have been. June Osborne: From Survivor to Exhaustion Let’s talk about June (Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men ). I understand the idea behind her arc. She was meant to evolve — to become more confident, more assertive, more dangerous. A woman shaped by trauma who stops surviving and starts fighting back. On paper, it makes sense. On screen, however, it often doesn’t work. June becomes reckless to the point of irresponsibility. She repeatedly puts others in danger without seeming to fully care about who might be caught in the crossfire. Her actions feel impuls...

Breaking Bad: When Desperation Redefines Morality

Breaking Bad is often praised as one of the greatest television series ever made—and I definitely agree. Beneath its gripping plot and intense character arcs lies a deeply unsettling exploration of morality, identity, and the human capacity for self-justification. At its core, the show asks a haunting question: what happens when an ordinary person is pushed past their limits—and keeps going? Walter White: From Victim to Architect of Chaos Walter White (Bryan Cranston) begins as a man we instinctively sympathize with—a struggling high school chemistry teacher facing a terminal illness. His initial decision to cook methamphetamine is framed as an act of desperation, even sacrifice. He wants to provide for his family after his death. But that justification doesn’t hold for long. As the series progresses, Walter’s transformation becomes less about survival and more about control, pride, and power. The tragedy is not just that he becomes a criminal, but that he chooses to contin...
