Lunar Flame
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. They used to have a home in Thalessia, in the rich rugged mountains neighboring the crop-filled coastal farmland of Tamenessa. The dragons liked the farms, you see. They would help the towns folk plough their fields, herd their sheep, and even heat their ovens to bake food after harvest. The sea breeze would carry the smell of freshly baked bread and aromatic spiced stews into the mountains as the dragons woke their young from their afternoon naps.

E.T. (1982) Review
I know. Who hasn't seen E.T? Me. I haven't seen E.T. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), is an American science fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg. This was a very engaging film, and I had a lot of comments, so prepare yourselves – possible spoilers ahead.

Persona (1966) Review
It is true that part of the reason I chose this film is that it shares its title with a song (and album) that I enjoy. But also, psychology is something I find fascinating. I don’t think I could handle a full course in it, but I do enjoy learning about it and occasionally theorising with friends (or friend).

Modern Times (1936) Review
Modern Times (1936), is an American comedy feature film written and directed by Charlie Chaplin. It was written at a time in which “the talkies” were becoming increasingly popular and was Chaplin’s last ‘silent’ film, although there is limited dialogue (I’m unsure if it was in the original but, given the time it was produced, I could imagine it being part of the film – I think it could’ve worked without but it did add to the characters).

Le Voyage dans la Lune (1902) Review
La Voyage dans la Lune (1902), ‘A Trip to the Moon’ in English, is a French adventure short film directed by Georges Méliès, a precursor to modern sci-fi and fantasy films. With no dialogue, or even inter-titles, La Voyage dans la Lune manages to convey a clear story purely through visuals, with comedic elements that do not go amiss. The music does of course have a part to play and does a very good job of setting the tone right from the start.

Film School Firsts
I, a film student, have seen an arguably laughable range of films. Classic films, famous films, groundbreaking or impactful films. Of all those films that I'm "supposed to have seen", I've seen maybe 3. Even recent films, I’ve seen mainly the superhero ones.
