Wonder Park (2019)
Wonder Park (2019)
2019 | Adventure, Animation, Comedy
Wonder Park (2019) will have you wondering where you parked and whether anyone will notice if you nip back to the car.
“Wonder Park” isn’t short of ambition but all it really ends up proving is that what Pixar do isn’t anywhere near as easy as it looks.

Cast Away (2000)
Cast Away (2000)
2000 | Action, Drama
Truly meme worthy, Cast Away features one of Tom Hanks’ best performances in front of the camera. The only reason it didn’t make the list is because Life of Pi features similar films, and I think that is the better film.

Beg to differ. I guessed the ended about 1/3 in. I still enjoyed it though

The Favourite (2018)
2018 | Biography, History
Yorgos Lanthimos brings a sense of Blackadder to the big screen in sumptuous art house comedy The Favourite (2019)
Move over Bess (and, I suspect, pre-emptive apologies to Margot Robbie) there’s a new award-baiting Queen on the block: oft-overlooked 18th Century sovereign Queen Anne...

Pavarotti (2019)
Pavarotti (2019)
2019 | Biography, Documentary, Music
The great maestro himself would be proud of Ron Howard’s epic documentary as it hits all the right notes. Much like Luciano hitting 9 high C’s in one performance, Howard manages to find an incredible amount of warmth and humanity to put on display here.

"This is what I listened to a lot during the 2019 World Championships in Doha. The 'being on top of the world' lyrics just really motivated me. You don't want too many songs like Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' where the lyrics can hype you up too much, but this one really resonated with me.'

Nellie Bly was possibly the world's first under-cover, investigative journalist - both male or female - and her story is well worth investigating through this intense biographical, historical fiction novel "What Girls are Good For: A Novel of Nelly Bly" by David Blixt. <br/>https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/01/11/a-female-journalistic-pioneer/
  
If you call me an Anglophile, I'll say "guilty as charged"! So if you're like me, you might be interested in this recently released novel about Princess Margaret, the troubled younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II.
