Another year in the books without a single book read. I did watch a number of movies and television shows, here's my full 2016 media diary.

No feature is perfect, even if millions of dollars have been poured into it's creation process. Some have come quite close, although most would agree that even the most classical movie has it's flaws. But every so often, a picture comes along that looks great when viewing it's theatrical trailer, encouraging hoards of people to go and see it. The hype machine bangs on about how great it is and everything starts well, only for one terrible scene to ruin, or nearly ruin a good flick.

2016 has turned out to be a bit of a mixed bag as far as judging what a good movie is this year. It didn't exactly get off to a great start when Batman v Superman was harshly criticised by detractors and the public alike although fantasy and animated pictures have had their fair share of critical success.

A teaser for the upcoming Spiderman: Homecoming trailer has been released hinting at an upgrade for our web slinging hero. Spiderman: Homecoming will be the sixth Spiderman film to be released since Sam Raimi's original released back in 2002

Star Wars star, Carrie Fisher has admitted that she once had a fling with Harrison Ford when the two worked together on the set of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. The affair ended shortly after filming had completed, although the two reunited twice more on later Star Wars films during the 1980's.

Hollywood is known for it's happy endings. In fact, it has become a little too predictable, one would say. It is a refreshing experience when filmmakers attempt to take a turn away from the usual route during the course of a movie and give audiences something unexpected to remember it by.

Superman has been putting in a fair number of appearances in the past few years all beginning with the release of Zack Snyder's Man of Steel and it's critically panned follow up, Batman vs Superman. In the past couple of weeks, CBS have been showing the second season of Supergirl which allowed the debut of it's own version of the last son of Krypton which has earned a surprising number of positive opinions.
