Five favourite things, not a bad effort given the considerably short recording time I had. Either way, hope you enjoy or are at least entertained by my ineptitude. 😛 Oh, and no, I don’t have an orb floating around my head, that’s just some sunlight. Covered: Nursing Fairy tales The Marquis de Sade Jack The Ripper … Continue reading

32 Favourite Things: Xenophilia [My love for the Xenomorph] by Bea Harper
It’s got the head of a wang but the body of a ballet dancer. What’s UP with that?!?! DAFUQ? https://www.crohnsandcolitis.com.au/ An Australian information website about Crohn’s and colitis. Help out if you can because Crohn’s blows.
32 Favourite Things: The Beauty of Brian [by Bea Harper]
He’s a polarizer, that’s for sure, but let it never be said that de Palma doesn’t know where he comes from and what film maker who has so powerfully influenced him the most.
32 Things: The Highway To Oblivion [The Lost Highway] by Bea Harper
‘The Lost Highway’ is my favourite film from David Lynch… so far. Amongst my blathering, you may find out why.
32 Things: Sympathy for the Devil [The Importance of Villains] by Bea Harper
SO! Since I’m turning 32 next month and I would be loathe to pick only one film for every year of my life, I decided to post a series of videos of 32 of my favourite things. Expect random topics, tangents and inane prattling on 32 things that I love or have intense admiration for. … Continue reading
[TV Review] “Penny Dreadful” [2014] by Bea Harper
I give my overall impressions of this seriously solid show in my own special, verbally incontinent way. If you haven’t checked out the show already, please take my ramblings for a grain salt and experience it on your own terms. For those of you who have have seen it, sorry for making a salad of … Continue reading
[Game Review] Batman: Arkham Origins [2013] by Bea Harper
Platforms: Wii-U, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PC, OS X After the enormous wrecking ball of “Arkham City” with dozens of untold stories, loose ends that required tying up, I was more curious about seeing a continuation. Rocksteady had really out-Batted itself when “City” swept up awards left and right, garnering massive praise for its gameplay, … Continue reading
[Game Review] Batman: Arkham City [2011] by Bea Harper
Platforms: Wii-U, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PC, OS X When it comes to video games, making a sequel for a best-seller can have just as much pressure and multiple ramifications as a film sequel does. Gamers want more of everything- they want to explore more worlds, undertake new missions, be exposed to numerous possibilities. “Arkham … Continue reading
[Game Review] Batman: Arkham Asylum [2009] by Bea Harper
Platforms: Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PC and OS X “Batman Arkham Asylum” exceeded the expectations of many because of how much care was put into making this game, not just in terms of graphics (which in themselves are stunning), but in terms of creating a fantastic story and controls. I’m not what you would call … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Masterpiece Theatre’s Dracula [2006]
Technically, Masterpiece Theatre’s Dracula (made exclusively to television by BBC in 2006) would have been a miserable failure- it’s too short, it glosses over several important factors and it’s quite an unusual piece to be released by the normally prestigious production company. However, what ultimately saves it (and us) is that it takes a deliberate step to … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] The Babadook [2014]
By the way, doesn’t a ‘Babadook’ sound like a very cute house pet you can keep in your room with his own toys and stuff? No?
[Bea’s Reviews] Dracula [1931 Spanish version]
Filmed simultaneously with Browning’s production during the nighttime hours, using the same story line, same sets, same schedule and same budget (more or less), George Melford’s Spanish reflection of Tod Browning’s film is a curio in early talkie cinema. Not to say Spanish ‘Dracula’ doesn’t have some nice things to offer because it does, more than … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Dracula [1931]
Funny what time and emotional maturity does to you. When I first viewed Universal’s first of their many Golden Age releases, I honestly didn’t think much of it. Yes, I had heard this was not THE first Dracula adaptation (and neither wasNosferatu for that matter), but it was this film that embued pop culture for … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] V For Vendetta [2005] An Inspiration And An Influence
V For Vendetta [2005] Everybody has a few of those films in their minds that has helped shaped their world, their perceptions and their love for the medium. James McTeigue’s contemporary (and for my money, far superior) adaptation of Alan Moore’s staunchly political graphic novel is one of the few movies that have changed the way I … Continue reading
