Growing up I never really watch the original animated Aladdin. It wasn’t until I was much older that I started to enjoy the film. I think for many people they were not keen on the new live action as they hold strong nostalgic connections. However I feel like the new film is just as enjoyable…

Bohemian Rhapsody – Review

I’ve been long awaiting the release of Ari’s fourth album ever since Dangerous Woman. This era takes us along with her in her new direction of sound and her personal growth.
