"Number two for me is Manhattan, Woody Allen. It’s so real-life. Again, not about any extraordinary things. It’s really true to life and true to psychology. It’s funny. It takes me to Manhattan, which I love New York City. Woody had to be on the list and, for me, he comes in at number two. Also one of the great endings in history. The score, George Gershwin … It’s amazing."

"A perfect black comedy with one of the most underappreciated central performances in film history, by Dennis Price (and a handful of genius ones by Alec Guinness). Truly funny and as dark as sin, this is a film that still feels ahead of its time. The attached “American” ending helps remind us just how annoyingly safe and predictable American tastes can be—did we really need to be reminded?#"

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This book was funny, poignant, and fiercely feminist.

What if you could go and ask the women of history for advice? Well, now you know! From Wallis to Pocahontas to Josephine questions about relationships are asked an answered.

This book was so much fun to read that my only complaint was that it didn't last longer!

Donkey Roll All Day
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is a mockumentary following the life and times of hit maker Connor4Real (Andy Samberg). If you can manage to give in to its absolute absurdity, you are in for a major treat. Despite its short lull where a couple punchlines fall flat, Popstar has quickly risen to become one of my favorite comedies.

Not only is it funny, it's consistently funny. One minute you're laughing at something then something else ridiculously stupid happens and you're cracking up all over again. The hilarity ensues from the jump as you learn Connor4Real's history and the breakup of his former group The Style Boyz. Two words: Limo Scene. Just plain classic.

The cameos are countless and absurdly funny. The music is classic, the kind that gets stuck in your head, but in a good way. Saying too much else will ruin the experience. Just watch it. I give it a solid 98.

Almost great but just OK
Imagine if Monty Python was obsessed with historic facts and made kids TV and you would get horrible histories. Parts of the film will make you laugh and the opening offers so much but it all just seems to fizzle out in order to fit the history in. It's not a bad film it's just an almost winner

Another bit of history that everyone should know about, this film does live up to its name and it is about the women behind the space war at NASA and how they helped immensely with the work but went unrecognised until recently because they were women and coloured. Worth watching and you might learn a lot, quite funny in places although it is not a comedy but a serious film. Have seen a couple of times and would quite happily watch again.
