Join me as I navigate the single life in New York through the eyes of recent singleton and grad Alice. So, what did I think? Was it a good film? Was it bad? Did I enjoy it? Would I recommend it? The film was released in 2016 and is based on the book of the...
This week I’m talking about one of my favourite books with someone who also loves it, Chance from the fantastic Strive Seek Find. We’re talking about the fantastic Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. We talk about the book, the brilliantly done TV show that was a very surprisingly accurate adaptation and all...
This is unlike the other Disney films I have reviewed as it’s not a Disney Channel Original. This time I am looking at a massive cinema release that made over $375mil at the box office, 2004’s Nicolas Cage film, National Treasure. Part adventure, part conspiracy theory, all fun. This is a film I have watched...
This week I am taking a look at the 2008 novel by Matthew Quick that inspired the 2012 Oscar-Nominated movie of the same name. Was this book the first that didn’t fare as well as the film, which you can hear me talk about with my friend Debi here)? Is the book better than the...
It’s finally happened. The last ever season of Lucifer, Season 6, has been released and I spent a few evenings over the last week watching it and trying to put all my thoughts together. That’s what this episode is. A review of the final 10 episodes, as spoiler-free as possible (though, if you want to...
This week I’m taking a look at a contemporary romance by American author Olivia Dade. In Spoiler Alert we meet actor Marcus Caster-Rupp and geologist and fanfiction author April Whittier. Will their true love story have a happy ending? Listen to find out more (but I will maintain, this is a spoiler-free review). Link to...
I am back with my first Thursday episode of Season 3 and it’s all about the 2008 Disney Channel Original Movie, Camp Rock. So get dancing and singing and head to a camp, complete with dining cabin and rock star guest appearances. Did I like it? Did I hate it? Was it an experience I...
Until about a year ago I didn’t even know that this was a book, I just assumed it was a film and that was it. However, now I am aware I am pleased that I have had the chance to read Andy Weir’s bestselling (originally indie published) novel, The Martian. So, what did I think?...
I’ve been joined by a very special guest, Lorraine from Once Upon a Nightmare and we’re talking about a show that was based during our formative years but very definitely not filmed then (no sirree, if it had been the special effects would have been much much much worse). Yes, we’re travelling back to 1983...
This 1908 classic is one of my favourite novels. Set in beautiful Florence at the turn of the 20th Century and following the slow but emotional story of Lucy Honeychurch and George Emerson as they somehow find each other. In an unusual move for me, I watched the film before I read the book, but...
