Emotional impactful

Emotionally insightful storytelling

This Netflix original was bound to be a hit with audiences from the get-go.
Starring the charismatic wonder Kevin Hart, the story follows a new dad struggling to come to the terms with the loss of his wife shortly after giving birth.
It goes on to show the importance of a decision, losing a loved one when there most needed, the struggles of parenting when feeling alone and most importantly-the importance of being a parent and guardian to a young one.

It is a sad but beautiful story, emotionally gritty, one about a depressed father struggling with acceptance and fatherhood.

Book Favorite

"This novel is cited by many of my author friends as the best in the English language. I, too, am awed by its beauty and intelligence, so much so that I sometimes feel I should stop writing. (I won’t.) The narrator of this story has been bestowed with telepathic powers by virtue of the time of his birth. This proves useful in recounting his life, which is coincidentally wrapped around historical events in India. Rushdie injects much political criticism of the powers that came to be, and this trait in his writing recalls for me George Orwell’s treatise on why we write: politics has much to do with it."

Authorised by Victoria Wood's family

This is an amazing book covering Victoria's life from birth . Features stories and anecdotes from people who worked with Victoria,her family and friends.
Being a huge fan I've read a lot of books about Victoria and this one is the best,so much information that I didn't know and featuring photos I hadn't seen before.
It gives us an insight into what Victoria was like "off camera".
I highly recommend it if like me you're a fan of comedy .

Movie Rating

Inspired by the imagination of P. T. Barnum, The Greatest Showman is an original musical that celebrates the birth of show business & tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation.

I challenge anyone to go to this film and not end up tapping their feet along to the music. Singing and dancing at it's best. It's probably some of the best singing I've heard on screen, dare I say it... all year. And it was a perfect way to finish 2017. It's exciting, interesting, heartwarming... and if that isn't enough then there's Hugh Jackman spinning the ladies when they dance... *sigh*.
