Paper Towns is my favourite book by John Green, and one of my favourite books ever. So you can understand why a film adaptation would make me nervous, in case they got it wrong. It’s bad enough when…
Review – Bring Me The Horizon: That’s The Spirit
If you wanted a record that sounds like Bring Me The Horizon’s early releases, think again. Talk about reinvention. The band’s latest effort, That’s The Spirit, moves away from metalcore, and instead effortlessly blends elements of their older,…
