A pretty decent black comedy/love story with a good amount of humour. Set in the swinging 60's in East London. The girls from the band All Saints star in this along side a good array of English acting talent. The girls look to rob places up town to get a better way of life for their family but get mixed up in all sorts of trouble way above their heads. An enjoyable film catch it if it's on.

A very good film with some young English actors. I'm not sure if this was a film made for TV but it has that feel to it. It's raw, gritty and brutal showing the life of a group of teenagers in West London. Unfortunately some scenes are quite true to what is going on with inner city teenagers today and the gang culture. Fades a little towards the end but still a good watch.......now to see the sequel Adulthood.

This was an excellent read! I loved the characters and the different perspectives we got the story from, not only the main characters but the supporting ones as well. I loved how the story showed how much of a difference one person can make in someone's life and how one choice can change the course of that person's life completely. Daniel and Natasha made me believe in true love and fate they made me feel like anything is possible which I think is the mark of a really good story.

So so version
Whilst i enjoyed the first Mamma Mia filn a great deal. This film seem to be discombobled, epsically between Donna life and Sophie life today. The transition between the two seem to in my option lack something. Where the first film is a feel good okay the actor can sing but not to a incredible degree bringing in cher who is a power house of a voice just highlighted that half the others aren't the greatest of singers.

Fun movie
A fun movie to remind you of your childhood, full of nostalgia of the original games with a modern twist. The animation is good and Ryan Reynolds as pikachu is just brilliant add and adult element to a childish movie. A fun watch for a few hours, just don't expect the story line to be anything other than it is, very predictable at times, but still good.

Not usually a Matt Damon fan but, in this movie he was really good. Not that this would win any oscars but, it should have been nominated for best original screenplay as this is a great original story.

This is good yet sad book. I think everyone should read it at least once in their life. I had to read it in 5th grade and saw the movie immediately after and it still makes me cry to think about it.
