Period drama at its best (0 more)

The next Downtown

If you like Downton, you’ll love this. Witty, contemplative, And engaging, you are continually swept along with the narrative that transports you back to the time of Waterloo and the subsequent architectural development of an up and coming London society.

Occasionally the historical references to architectural nuances can prove a little dull and distract from the flow of the narrative, but the characters are engaging and the storylines keep you raptured to the end.

A different type of Zombie novel

Contains spoilers, click to show

This is the first book in the series following the zombie apocalypse. Seen through the eyes of one lone survivor recording events in his journal as he tries to make it out of an infested London. Have to admit I was a little unsure at first but after the first couple of pages I couldn't put this down. Even in the slower sections it's a great read. If you want to read something a little bit different but still with plenty of Zombies this is the book

So tonight after months of being excited for it, I'm heading down to London today to go to Secret Cinema presents Stranger Things.

For those of you that don't know, Secret Cinema is an immersive experience designed to throw you into the world. You're meant to dress up (Stranger Things dress code is 80s, I'm going as a punk), and spend hours exploring the world of Hawkins and the Upside Down. I'm SO excited, and cannot wait to try a Scoops Ahoy!

I'll post a review and update tomorrow 😊

Light-as-a-feather comic fantasy is strikingly risque given it was made in the 1940s. A mermaid takes a short holiday in London (disguised as a woman confined to a wheelchair) and carves a swathe through the men she encounters, much to the indignation of their wives and fiancees.

Cheery stuff, with nice comic performances from Glynis Johns and Margaret Rutherford. Surprisingly suggestive as well - the male lead is clearly implied to be at it with the mermaid despite being a married man. Not at all meant to be taken seriously, but charming nevertheless.

Not as good as the others

After saving the President twice before you would think that Mike Banning would have a not been one of the first people suspected of organising a hit on the Potus, but that is the conclusion arrived at on circumstantial evidence...

Pretty standard action film fare, quite predictable and not as good as Olympus and London but still worth a watch if you are an action movie fan or a fan of the series...
Or just like hearing Morgan Freeman speak...
