To the lovely readers of this blog, It's that time of the year again, and nearly time to say goodbye to 2012. It's been a huge year full of amazing landmarks, achievements and highlights - personally I'd say it's been the best year of my life so far, too. And one of the big highlights..Beview was born! In the mere 9 months we've...

Out of all the films I've reviewed (or beviewed - let's be honest, it's catching on...) in 2012, this is possibly the one I am most excited to write about. I was a massive fan of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy and the hype preceding The Hobbit has been very difficult to miss. In this 2 hour 46 minute extravaganza, where...

Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas! This will be my official Beview Christmas letter to you, and I hope that as I write this, you are sipping on a nice cuppa hot chocolate, sitting against a radiator with Magic FM's Christmas tunes in the background. Or maybe that's just me...(but you should try it; it feels very nice.) Anyway, this is Beview's very first...

I don't know if it's because Christmas is a reflective time, or a time to dwell on emotions, but I came across Bon Iver's cover of "I Can't Make You Love Me" this morning. Cue Beview philosophy. It got me thinking two things: 1) Justin Vernon (Bon Iver dude) has a super-impressive falsetto. And 2), you can't please everyone or make them like...

I'm recapping this concert nearly 3 weeks after it happened, but I can literally still remember everything vividly like it was just yesterday. Jason Mraz at London's o2 Arena. Amazing. Expect slight (and hopefully subtle) elements of fangirling in this post, as he is my all-time favourite music artist and I have wanted to see him live for at least the past 5...

(Apologies for the delay guys! I wrote this weeks ago but somehow managed to forget to post it...) The latest in the James Bond franchise has given everyone something to talk and buzz about. In a world where the fifth star is a stingily rewarded acclaim, we have a film which is making newspapers, magazines and film sites be littered with them. And...

Hot off the press, and you saw it here first: The First Sign That Christmas Is Officially Nearby And The Whole Of 2012 Has Officially Flown By. Otherwise known as the John Lewis Christmas advert. I know, I know, it's usually jolly Red Santa courtesy of Coke and co.. but since the ad that year Ellie Goulding covered "Your Song", and more importantly...

There's a common theme running along the tracks of my Spotify "Favourite Songs" playlist: Guys with Guitars. To be more specific, guys with guitars playing soppy love songs. Think James Blunt's "You're Beautiful", Nickelback's "Far Away", The Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris" and Damien Rice's "Cannonball". But lately, thanks to the principle of caring and sharing, my musical repertoire has expanded to...more guys with...

So last week made it official: Girls Aloud are back. I remember that, technically, they never broke up - but they were on a break. (Said in the Ross/Rachel tone.) Because they all went and did their own thing - Sarah becoming an actress and firm Daily Mail favourite no matter what she did ("Oh my God, Sarah Harding in Rehab!" "Sarah Harding...

I love Japanese food. It's interesting, it's tasty, and no matter what you put into your mouth, you are totally convinced you are eating healthily. In particular, a firm favourite of mine is sushi - technically the Westernised California Roll. Every time I was in a big London station rushed for food, I headed straight to Wasabi, yet I can't stand the taste...
