When Jess and I visited Vienna last Christmas, it was mainly to look around the markets. I wanted to go somewhere to get into the Christmas spirit, whilst exploring somewhere new in the process, so we headed out to Austria. Truth be told, I didn’t really know what to expect – apart from the obvious mulled wine, chimney cakes and Christmas trees – so I … Continue reading A Geeks Guide to Vienna
The Incredible Hulk was released in 2008 – shortly after Iron Man – making it the second movie to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and therefore the second movie in my Marvel Movie Marathon. To be honest, it’s probably the Marvel film I’m least familiar with, having only seen it a couple of times in the past 10 years, but that just meant I was … Continue reading The Incredible Hulk Filming Locations
Now that we’re officially in 2019, there’s only one thing I’m really thinking about – Avengers: Endgame. The movie we’ve waited over 10 years for is so close that it’s time to start preparing for its release, and what better way than with a Marvel Movie Marathon.

It’s not that I didn’t like the movies, I thought the second film, with Thandie Newton and Dougary Scott was particularly good, even though it’s highly regarded as the worst in the franchise. I think it was just the Tom Cruise thing – I don’t … Continue reading Movie Review | Mission: Impossible – Fallout
San Diego Comic Con 2018 is officially over, and as a certified Geeky Tourist, I am beyond gutted I wasn’t in California watching everything unfold. There have been so many exciting announcements – from a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, to a brand new Batwoman TV series – that I’m still trying to catch up on all the news from the weekend. If you didn’t … Continue reading Comic-Con 2018 | 20 Must Watch Trailers and Teasers
Tea with Alice at The Garden Society I always see these fun events advertised on Facebook, but they’re usually up in London – which can be a bit of a mission to get to from Portsmouth. Very occasionally, something a little closer to home catches my eye, and when that happens I freak out and book tickets straight away. In this instance, it was an Alice … Continue reading Mad Hatters Tea Party | The Garden Society
Today is International Women’s Day, so I thought I’d pay homage to some of the most inspiring, kick ass ladies in pop culture. I picked these particular women, not just for their kill counts, but because they manage to carry on in the face of adversity. Some have lost loved ones, some have suffered with mental illness, but they have all overcome their issues, and … Continue reading 10 Most Inspiring Women In Pop Culture
Have you ever watched a movie, or read a book, and thought – I’d really love to visit that world, or that town, or even that cafe? It happens to me all the time. Just the other day, I was at the cinema watching the new Black Panther movie, and I couldn’t stop thinking about how amazing Wakanda looked – the ultimate travel destination. Seriously, … Continue reading Five Fictional Cities I’d love to visit in real life
