Review: Edge of Seventeen
If you’re going into this movie thinking you will hear Stevie Nicks’ 1982 song of the same title, be informed that the song, sadly, was not part of the (surprisingly good) soundtrack.

The film revolves around grief and how it is dealt with. It is not, however, a film that you need to bring a box of tissues with you to see. There is no build up…

How do you spend your leisure time?
Chillin’ Out By Rebecca Taylor If you are like me, after a long day at work or school, you like to kick back and relax. Often, just sitting in front of the television or putting on your favourite movie does the trick.
