Great Children's Book
This book is a great quick for when you have a spare five minutes lying around. Although the characters seems to be a little underdeveloped for my taste, I still love the story line. This is probably because I enjoyed the film so much and could easily imagine the characters and their mannerisms.

Lovely quirky, comedic film. Kate Winslet is brilliant as usual. Her character returns as a bright and lively talented dress maker in a village full of drab, petty-minded, snooty people . Hugo Weaving's portrayal of a camp, dress loving police sergeant had me in stitches. I had never heard of this film but I don't know why it wasn't more popular.

I was very dubious about watching sing with my 23 month old twins, mainly cause the trailer doesnt do this movie justice. It's funny, original and full of quirky characters (my favourite is Miss Crawley). Heartfelt moments and lots of laughter, will be sure to get you singing along.

Hmm not heard of the character before? This just seemed like a comic book western for me with a quirky supernatural element. It has a good cast and while not being a bad film, it does feel like there is something missing? It could have been a lot better. It's very short and simple and has some ok action scenes, that's about it.

Plot
Beautifully twisted
I really loved this show. It's dark but funny, weird and quirky. The 2 main characters totally draw you in and are acted superbly. Some people criticised it on how it portrayed intelligence agents. Who cares? It's about strong but flawed characters, not an accurate depiction of secret services. Loved it and cant wait to see more.
