"I have yet to see the Broadway production, but it warms my heart to know this brilliant documentary from Albert and David Maysles has inspired such a thing. An example of how a personal relationship between the filmmaker(s) and subject can in fact benefit the film itself. Fascinating, funny, and sad."

"He's such a talent, that fella. I'm a massive fan of him and the Super Furries. He's always trying something different. I've only ever seen him live a couple of times on his own, but I thought both times were brilliant. He just follows his nose and sees where it takes him."

This is a brilliant adaptation of the novel (Liane Moriarty). It has an incredible cast, I feel as though they portray the original characters very well. This by far one of my favourite shows, it's only bettered by Meryl Streep's character in season 2.
  
4.5 stars.

This series is so mature considering Violet's age. It's brilliant! I can't wait to see whether Violet and Lincoln will figure out the soul-mates thing. What's going to happen with Phoenix? What's going to happen after that ending?

Luckily I can find out, because I'm going straight into book 4!

Rolling Stone's 310th greatest album of all time
Brilliant rock album. While everyone is aware of "Give it away" and "Under the bridge", this album offers so much more. From the funky rock songs, to the more hippy tracks and the stomping rock anthems it is a non-stop stream of belters.

Pre entertainment where good and evil fight
Derek Landy's 'Skullduggery Pleasant' series is great. i read them to my son, so when Demon road came out I got it for him and he recommended I read it too. I was pleasantly surprised, Landy has created a trilogy that is brilliant and very cinematic.

This takes place in our world and in our world are demons, some of whom have made deals with high demons for powers and in return has to do terrible things as payment. The lead character is the daughter of such demons but is a normal girl...until she hits puberty. But then she finds out her parents don't quite have her best interests at heart.

I don't read many teen books unless sent for me to review or because i am reading to my kids but this is a gripping brilliant read. it is so cinematic it deserves to become a movie.

Characters are very strong, the adventure is adrenaline fuelled and its done in a completely non cheesy way. Its brilliant and I went straight to book two afterwards.
