Dark Fate is the latest in a fairly disappointing franchise following the first two ground-breaking Terminator films back in the late 80s and early 90s. It promises much, but does it deliver?

Rest by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang – Book Review
R
Rest by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang is as much a triumph of research as it is a call to arms for creatives to begin seeing resting as a skill, something that we should take seriously, to learn and improve at.
Make Time by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky – Book Review

Make Time is an excellent, clear and sometimes provocative book that gives plenty of ‘aha’ moments along with easily actionable advice to help ensure that you get to do the things that matter most to you in a busy world.

Isle of Dogs – Film Review
I
I’ve seen the film, and here’s my Isle of Dogs review… I can remember feeling vaguely irritated when I was first introduced to the director Wes Anderson in an incredulous manner by a friend, ‘duh, you don’t know Wes Anderson?’. Wait, what do you mean; you don’t know who Wes Anderson is? Okay, that’s hypocritical of me. But rest assured he’s worth looking into, and once you know...
