Story Analysis and Review for Films, Books and TV. The Princess and the Frog: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. It’s impossible to find anything. Bad in this film. After all, it’s a Disney Princess Movie, so we’re not exactly dealing with hacks here. The animation is gorgeous, the characters brilliant, and the story solid. As for uglywell, even the Villain possesses a roguish charm. …read more. Good bad and ugly. Dec 10, 2013. Pixar’s Toy Story of Terror: low on thrills? Nov 7, 2013. Good bad and ugly.

Story Analysis and Review for Films, Books and TV. 7 writing (and life) lessons I learned from playing Civilization V. November 18, 2013 By Angela Haddon. I’m not exactly what you would call a gamer, but God of War taught me some time ago that I am far from immune to gaming’s addictive charm. Since that heady period of 3am bedtimes and caffeine-infused mornings, I’ve stumbled upon a strategy game called Civilization Vand there’s no turning back. 1 Play to your strengths. 8220;Diplomatic Immunity”.

Story Analysis and Review for Films, Books and TV. The Art of Seduction. October 28, 2013 No Comments. One of my pet hates is ‘literal’ writing. You know the kind; great descriptions, a well-structured plot, believable characters, fantastic ideas, and absolutely no compelling reason to keep turning the page. The story simply conveys information without plumbing the depths of meaning, giving it a stale, paint-by-numbers feel. …read more. John Carter: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Oct 19, 2013.

Story Analysis and Review for Films, Books and TV. Category Archives: JK Rowling. Suffer the Little Children: Why Harry Potter Must Be Punished. It turns out that Umbridge was doing the right thing. Not for Harry, of course that poor kid had enough on his plate – but for the story. Apr 14, 2015. Ron, Hermione, and a question of Choice. That’s why I find it so odd that anybody would worry too much about JK Rowling’s recent statement. Feb 7, 2014. The Cuckoo’s Calling: the true crime is the marketing.

Story Analysis and Review for Films, Books and TV. Category Archives: Doctor Who. Breathing the life back into Doctor Who. Deep Breath – the title of Dr Who’s season premiere – is more than just a reference to its featured villains (although, because said villains are cyborgs hell-bent on organ-harvesting their way to the status of ‘living’, it’s a shame we won’t be spending more time with them). Aug 25, 2014. Good, Bad and Ugly. Show your love for Schmarrative with a PayPal donation :).

Story Analysis and Review for Films, Books and TV. 5 reasons you should watch CSI:Cyber (the Best Worst Show on TV). Yes, I know this show is terrible. It’s probably the worst thing I’ve ever seen on TV. But, God help me, I also love it. It gives me the same self-indulgent feeling as getting stuck into a bag of BBQ chips, if chips had the power to make me laugh hysterically at their poor construction. So really, this show is infinitely. May 21, 2015. The Cuckoo’s Calling: the true crime is the marketing.

Story Analysis and Review for Films, Books and TV. Pixar’s Toy Story of Terror: low on thrills? November 7, 2013 By Angela Haddon. I know that 22 minutes doesn’t give the writers much time to play with, but even so, I can’t help thinking that a few minor tweaks could have transformed a well-animated, well-voiced diversion into something special. A few flies in the ointment. The Case of the Missing Terror. This is what comes of building Toy Story 2 on an Indian Burial Ground! While they are occurring.
