A very good thriller with a strong cast, set in New York as a top businessman has his son kidnapped. However he goes against the traditional way of dealing with kidnappers, but at what cost?

A very traditional book on crochet lace. A disappointing look at an art stuck in bygone days. As a crocheter myself I'm always looking for books that bring crochet upto date, Sadly this doesn't do it.

Brilliantly Bond
Started brilliantly, slowed a little in the middle but overall was very enjoyable. Much grittier than other James Bond films to date.

Tam Lin, traditional Scottish folk stories and iambic pentameter? Yes please (although ColinÕs chant scene is really irritating and the romance between him and Pru a bit forced). Nick is definitely the best and most interesting character

Brilliant
I love this creepy podcast full of folklore & fable! The narrators voice gets a bit grating at times, but overall a great listen to anyone who likes traditional stories.
  
I love that the movie musical is back and, as movie musicals go, this is probably the best one for many years! The songs are great and are in a style that appeals more to today's generation than the "traditional" musicals. (0 more)

2012 | Comedy, Horror
This is a horror film with a twist. It deliberately engages with/mocks traditional horror tropes. I found these parts humorous. It's creepy, but not terrifying. So if you want to be scared out of your skin, look for something else.

Newest addition to yearly non-traditional Christmas movie watching
  
This book is all you need for everything you need or want to know about you and your bump. I would recommend this to every pregnant lady. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it is aimed at the 'traditional' pregnancy with the 'traditional' family plan...not with any support to an unplanned pregnancy or perhaps a single mother to be. This is probably not intentionally one sided but it would have been even more helpful with some information perhaps dedicated to a family which may not necessarily be seen as 'the norm'.

Great Collection
A different take on some classic folklore. My favourite story was the last one but I loved the others too. They had their own twists and turns which made them different from the traditional tales you hear. All of them dark and wonderful.
