The Witch, however, is a cut above the genre competition, despite not really being the film I expected to see and avoiding certain horror…

Nobody wants to work on a Saturday, but alas, needs must, cinema tickets don’t grow on trees after all. In order to celebrate my belated entrance to all things weekend related I did that very British thing of heading to the pub with friends once my working day was over. ‘Just staying for one’ soon…

I really enjoy categorizing films into different genres or folders on my beloved laptop as I am a rather organized man.
