    Movie Review: Spectre

    It’s been four years since I’ve done a movie review, but what the heck.

    Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion about the movie but I felt that the latest James Bond didn’t deserve all the panning it received. So after reading scathing reviews and general disappointment from people on my newsfeed about Spectre, I decided to write my own review of the movie.

    To set the tone for this review – I’m not a James Bond fan. I don’t hate the films or anything, I just don’t love them or follow them religiously. I’ve only seen a handful of Bond movies and I even missed Skyfall. I also didn’t have any set expectations to what the movie should be beyond it being an entertaining spy flick.

    I’ll be performing again tomorrow at Grind22 in Bangsar. It starts at 8:00pm and I’ll be performing alongside Endee Ahmad, Hilmy Amim, and Ian Tai. It’s a pretty chill coffee place, come for drinks and music if you’ve got the time!

    Gig #89 was an open mic night at Rougeur 2 weeks ago. Pretty cool place, though a bit hard to find and not really a gigging venue, but it’s always fun to be able to play at new places!

    Coffee Sketching by PascalCampion

    “Ooh, whatcha drawing?”
    An angel he wanted to say but instead, he responded, “just a scene in my head.”
    “Can I see it?” she asked eagerly, leaning forward over the table.
    “No, not yet,” he said as he tilted the sketchbook towards his chest.
    “Come on! I won’t judge.”
    “I’ll let you see it when it’s complete.”
    “You always say that, but you never do.”
    “This time I will.”
    “That’s what you said last time.”
    “It wasn’t complete!”
    “Hmph! You better be finished when I’m done with this chapter,” she said, turning back to her book with a sly smile on her face.

    Ben smiled and continued with his sketch. He liked it when Orla acted assertive and commanding. It was a total contrast to her usual submissive and quiet demeanor. He found it extremely endearing. After all, the two had met because they were the quietest people in their art history class.
