Movie Rating
A decent film based on the life of Sam Childers. A good performance from Butler playing Sam who seems to hit rock bottom, rises up when he finds God and has plenty more ups and downs at home and in Africa as he tries to help the children of Sudan.

A great Rom-com with a good cast with more drama than most. I like the way it pans out to show something as simple as missing a train can change your life. Part of this was filmed down the road from where I used to live in Hammersmith as well!

Really good documentary from HBO on Andre the Giant. Doctors may say his heart failed because it couldn't keep up with his ever growing body size, but I feel like it was because it couldn't handle the huge amount of love he had in his heart, for wrestling and for life.

As I've never read the books or watched the tv show it's a okay movie not as good as say life of Brian which did it better or even carry on Cleo. Some nice cameos from quite few funny comedians like Alexander Armstrong and Lee mack. Anyway probably won't watch again

"If I ever make an album as good as this I’ll be happy for the rest of my life, probably. Danny Thompson [double bass player who played on Coxon’s ‘The Spinning Top’ album] is on it, and it’s kind of obvious immediately, his bass playing is amazing, everything just sounds perfect."

Another great book by JR Ward! This is a side story so no huge contribution to the main storyline so it could be skipped if you want to follow the main line only. If you like more insight into Blay and Quinns life though it's a good one to read

Pet sematary- is a good adaption of the novel by stephen king.

Doctor Louis Creed moves his family to Maine, where he meets a friendly local named Jud Crandall. After the Creeds' cat is accidentally killed, Crandall advises Louis to bury it in the ground near the old pet cemetery. The cat returns to life, its personality changed for the worse. When Louis' son, Gage, dies tragically, Louis decides to bury the boy's body in the same ground despite the warnings of Crandall and Louis' visions of a deceased patient.

Its haunted, terrorfying, scary and overall good.
  
I was sent [Americanisation] by the author [Angus Woodward] since I had read and reviewed another book of his. This one was much different but just as good. I loved the tone of snarkiness that the author uses to portray "typical" American life from the eyes of a new immigrant. Sadly I don't think it was far from the truth.

"Forrester was the oldest of 8 children, in Depression-Era Liverpool. No school, no medicine, no hope - her life was exactly as mine would have been, had I not had the incredibly good fortune to be born after the introduction of the NHS and the Welfare State. I read it as a direct letter from her to me. It politicised me instantly."
