If there is one fact that simply cannot be denied it is that Disney is a money-making machine. Whether they are making the most of the Marvel Franchise or bringing out a tonne of merchandise with every movie release, this is a company that certainly knows how to make money and other recent years they…

‘Well, You wanted me to be a hero’ – Shazam! Review
When it comes to making movies, it would appear that the character type of choice at the moment is some form of hero. If a character can fly, or shoot lasers, fight like a champion and ultimately save the day, then it’s popular. It’s commonly thought that the Avengers and the Marvel Mega Machine rule…
‘I Think Nick Fury Just Hijacked Our Summer Vacation’ – Spiderman: Far From Home Review
There are some pretty big movie franchises out there in the world, and perhaps one of the biggest is anything connected to Marvel. I’ll be honest here and say that I am not the biggest fan of superhero movies. I can never quite get into the stories, especially when they start overlapping into other movies,…
‘People Don’t Pay To See Reginald Dwight! They Pay To See Elton John!’ – Rocketman Review
Everyone knows at least one Elton John Song, deep down somewhere in their mind, everyone knows at least some of those famous lyrics. Following on from the success of Bohemian Rhapsody, Rocketman comes flying onto the screen with a whirlwind of colour, passion, heartache and music. Telling the true fantasy life of Elton John, or…
‘Oh Well, I Never, Was There Ever’ – A movie as weird as Cats (Review)
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Cats’ opened back in 1981 and enjoyed a run lasting 21 years in London’s West End, where there has been a number of successful revivals since. It also played for 18 years on Broadway. It was one of those shows that no one thought would do well, after all it’s a show…
‘I didn’t know love had an expiration date’ – Letters to Juliet (2010) review
A romantic comedy set in sun soaked Italy, featuring some of the stereotypes of the genre and some great actors, with the story of Romeo and Juliet as the backdrop. Sounds cheesy, almost too cheesy, but that’s ‘Letter’s to Juliet’ in a nutshell. Sunny cheesy romantic escapism. You don’t have to think too hard with…
‘To the Greatest Show on Earth!’ – Barnum (Live Recording 1986) Review
Long before we were spellbound by the Hollywood spectacular that was ‘The Greatest Showman’, there was Barnum. With music by Cy Coleman and lyrics by Michael Stewart, Barnum tells the life story of the legendary Circus master Phineas Taylor Barnum from his American Museum in 1835 to the famous Barnum and Bailey travelling show in…
‘History isn’t made by those who follow the rules’ – A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby Review
Netflix, over recent years, has more than proven it’s self a force to be reckoned with when it comes to creating original content. Whether that be the fan favourite ‘Stranger Things’, it’s interesting crime documentaries or ‘The Crown’, the Netflix team certainly know what needs doing in order to keep viewing figures up. And when…
A Game For Those Who Seek To Find : Jumanji – Welcome To The Jungle Review
All the way back in 1995, the original Jumanji film was released and became a favourite of many. I’ll be honest and admit that I didn’t actually watch it until a couple of years ago but when I did, I could easily see why so many people like it. It’s magical, colourful, full of action…
‘Or Are You Someone Out There Who is A Little Bit Like Me?’ – Frozen 2 Review
It’s hard to believe that it’s been six years since Disney’s Frozen first hit the big screen and started something big. Merchandise was everywhere and ‘Let It Go’ was every child’s favourite song to belt out at the top of their lungs. And now, watch out, because just in time for Christmas, Frozen Fever is…
