“LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WHAT WE DIDN’T DO, ITS ABOUT WHAT WE DID DO” When getting the tickets for this production I was really intrigued. First, because I have never seen a one man show and second because of the plot and its promise of being a poignant original comedy. To tell you the truth the main reason for me was Asa Butterfield’s (you would recognise him from Hugo, Sex Education, Enders Game and many more) theatre debut and the hint of Hogwarts. Sometimes you…

With 6 days to go until Christmas, it got me thinking what my top 5 yuletide movies are. This list would probably change from day to day as I remember other films but, as of now these are my favourites. So here we go … 5. The Holiday Calendar This is an underrated Netflix warm-hearted rom-com Christmas movie. The chemistry between Kat Graham and Quincy Brown is adorable. It is about a photographer who is stuck in a job that she has done for years.…
When I first heard about Wicked, I wasn’t sure if I was going to be impressed as it has had mixed reviews from the critics, and I wasn’t a great lover of the theatre show. However, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it and was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t know though that there were two parts, so when I saw part one in the opening credits I was confused and thought it was going to be like the theatre show and they would put…
Lindsey Lohan still has the movie magic in her veins even if the movie lets her down. She returns with another holiday cheer movie, with Our Little Secret that is new on NETFLIX. Her acting renaissance continues with the last of three Christmas movies she has done for the streaming giant. The first two were terrible, however, this one was the best of the lot. But it is a low bar to be honest but out of Falling into Christmas, the Irish Wish and now…
I wasn’t going to watch this production, but I am so glad my mum just put it on randomly and found this gentle but entertaining show. Micheal Schur, one of the writers and producers on this show, is a genius at making the most heartfelt TV shows. It is a very humbling program. Each episode isn’t too long, and there are no fillers. His track record includes Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Good Place, and now A Man on the Inside. These shows are honest, kind, and…
New Rom-com “Nobody Wants This” title couldn’t be further from the truth as everybody should enjoy these 10 episodes. Not sure it needs a reported sequel though, even though I loved it. Netflix’s new hottest couple is the unlikely pairing of a Rabbi and a sex podcaster. Who would have thought it, not me but it works. Their relationship is the sweetest, the most real and touching aspect of the series and overall, it’s one of the best shows that’s been released for a while. …
If you are into puzzles, doing crosswords and if you don’t mind the odd murder this 6-Part BBC comedy/mystery is the show for you. I didn’t really think that David Mitchell could act that well, but in this show his comedic and more surprisingly his dramatic timing is impeccable. The set up is not original but I don’t mind it, and tried and tested formulas work for a reason. David Mitchell plays John Taylor, an introverted, socially awkward agoraphobic puzzle maker who’s pen name is the…
Going to my first Film Festival on my own was a daunting feeling and I didn’t know what to expect. Not knowing anyone was the most terrifying thing, but it was such a great experience for me to go and network and delve into the film industry and the world of film shorts. I had the privileged of watching three short efforts which where Sister Wives, Mr Strappy and Lipstick. Let’s explore them. Sister Wives: Sister Wives, which had an all-round brilliant cast that were…
