Girls (2012–2017)
9/10
Welcome to the real world.
25 May 2012
Warning: Spoilers
In a nutshell this show is great. If you're deluded enough to believe that this isn't an accurate portrayal of 20something girls in this day and age you need to get off your high horse. Almost every scenario in this show has happened to myself or a fellow girlfriend. Real life is like this, if you're just out of school, broke and a little lost you don't have a great Carrie Bradshaw apartment, walk around in $400 dollar Manolo's (you probably don't even have four dollars to your name) and you sure as hell don't meet gorgeous, rich Mr.Big type men. Life is exactly like Girls writer/director/star Lena Dunham has given us. It's a little drab, you wear the clothes in your closet, you date jerks who don't return your texts, you have a little bit of stomach fat and your breasts aren't meant for playboy. Not to mention how realistic the characters are, I dated a Charlie and an Adam, I have a friend that is Marnie.

Girls aren't perfect, we don't always strive for perfection, we can be neurotic and a little bit boring, yes I said it boring! Life isn't all art galleries, parties, gala's, shopping and eating out every meal. Real life is crappy dinner parties, crappy sex, crappy jobs and the occasional abortion, it's nice to see a show that doesn't make us all feel inferior.

Labyrinth (1986)
Best Muppet Movie Ever!
11 November 2011
I was born in 1986 and to this day I remember this being the very first movie I saw as a child. It trumped every Disney/animated movie of the 80's and I dare say it the 90's. Now as a 24(soon to be 25) yr old woman, I can admit that I have watched this movie every night in bed for the last week. It never gets old, the humour is wonderful, the puppets are unquestionably expertly designed and made, and lets face it David Bowie if pants got any tighter I would be in heaven! I recommend this movie for anyone of any gender, age, genre allegiance, it speaks to your inner child while not insulting your adult sensibilities. The songs are a tad cheesy (really just one in particular, you'll know it when you hear it) and the masquerade ball makes you yearn for a era when those events and costumes really took place. More than anything this movie makes me wish and believe in the impossible. It's movie magic perfection in my opinion.
