Such an amazing show
This show is simply beautiful. From the great acting to all the gorgeous spot on wardrobes. This is a true life story of one of the biggest department stores in London, built by an American man. It is definitely a fantastic show to add to your binge watching list!!

Very good film (true story) about a southern white family takes in a homeless black child - teaches him about life and makes him welcome. Sandra Bullock is brilliant as the feisty mum, the little boy was good too (don't know the actor's name). Good family viewing and yes it might make you cry.

Tobey Macguire is the only Spider-man I accept as the one true Spidey. I absolutely love this movie. It came out at an interesting time, as it had to be edited to remove the World Trade Centers. I liked the origin story they went with, and I liked Franco as Harry.

1996 | Drama, Mystery
A dark crime, comedy caper that is driven by the characters. Quite odd a lot of the time with scenes and dialogue that don't add up to much. The fact it's based on a true story shows how bad things can go when you try to get a little bit of money.

"Clegg's memoir of hitting bottom made me so grateful, both for him, and for the possibility of recovery from addiction, which so many of us don't survive. It's a story of violent indulgence, the saving grace of his own wise spirit, as well as the transformative power of love from true friends."

"A story of the overlapping entanglements of Victorian London’s social classes, the strength of family bonds and true friendship, and the power of love to heal a broken spirit."

"Ozu at his best. Everyone can identify with the family in this story as they suffer the loss of a parent. This is a deep and thorough investigation into our humanity, and it has stayed with me for years. It strikes a very deep chord that makes us recognize our true commonality."
