I've not seen the old St Trinian's films from the 50's, but good to see the brand get a modern day English make over. It's pretty much what you would expect, silly over the top characters and action. It's all lighthearted fun though with a good English cast. Good for a giggle.

Decent Rom-com
A likable and enjoyable British Rom-com featuring a good cast. Quite lighthearted but funny film as a girl working the ski season tries to impress a boy. Nothing original but the ski setting and British humour rise this above average. A decent alternative film for the festive season.

Far too lighthearted & frilly
Considering this is centred around the German occupation of Guernsey and deals with details of prison/work camps, it's far too lighthearted a read.
It takes serious topics and although parts of the book do highlight the serious and disturbing topics of the war, it sandwiches them in between massive sections of saccharine sweet fluffy happiness. Its a bit much. Juliet and her friends are fairly endearing characters for the most part (except for the aforementioned fluffiness), and I did enjoy the way the book is written entirely in letters. Its just a shame it doesn't concentrate more on taking the story a little more seriously.
Although I haven't seen the film yet, I'd be surprised if it isn't slightly better than the book. And it's not often I say this!

Wonderful Show
I love the show. I think the casting was so well done. Melissa Benoit is a great Supergirl and Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers is absolutely phenomenal! I love that the show has the potential to teach so much while still being fun and lighthearted. I love the relationships between the characters, especially the Danvers sisters.

So bad it was kinda good.
This was a spoof on dracula films and it was so bad I actually really liked it, it was lighthearted, amusing and a bit slapstick.
Definitely one to watch with a bit of alcohol in the system lol, doesnt require brain power to follow the storyline.

LUIGI'S MANSION 3
I absolutely loved Luigi's Mansion 3 ! The puzzles were extremely creative and fun to solve, the story is uniquely imaginative, there is an abundance of hilariously funny humor throughout the game, and the difficulty was at a medium level which kept me from getting frustrated or stuck.
Overall, Luigi's Mansion 3 is a pleasingly lighthearted and cleverly charming addition to my Nintendo Switch games.
