Film Review: Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man
Cillian Murphy reprises his role as Tommy Shelby in Netflix's movie, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, a film following on from the six-season series about the Peaky Blinders in Birmingham. A TV show I've enjoyed over the past few years is Peaky Blinders. It's a Birmingham-based series that follows the Peaky Blinders gang, made up of the Shelby brothers and friends, set in the early 1900s, following World War I. I really enjoyed watching Peaky Blinders, and when I heard Netfl

Film Review: Mercy
Here is a film review of Mercy, a new Amazon Prime movie starring Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson that explores our future with AI. What do you think of AI? Is it a friend or a foe? How will it impact our future world? These are some questions explored in the newly released movie, Mercy . I recently watched Chris Pratt's latest film as part of family movie night, and it's safe to say that we enjoyed this dystopian action movie. I haven't watched many movies this year, but Me

Shakespeare Week: Films inspired by Shakespeare plays
As it is Shakespeare Week, here are some film recommendations that are all inspired by or based on a play by William Shakespeare. If you're like me, you might not have heard about Shakespeare Week before. However, I recently came across the national annual celebration on LinkedIn and decided it would make a good topic for a blog post. March 23rd to March 29th is a weekly celebration of William Shakespeare to celebrate the incredible writer's career, and to give primary schoo

Film Review: People We Meet on Vacation
Netflix released People We Meet on Vacation , the book-to-movie adaptation of Emily Henry's novel, You and Me on Vacation . One of my first reads of the year was You and Me on Vacation by Emily Henry. This was a priority read for me because I knew that the Netflix adaptation was coming out in January, and I wanted to squeeze in the book before watching. In America, the book is called People We Meet on Vacation , whereas in the UK it has the title You and Me on Vacation . How

Film Review: The Family Plan 2
The Family Plan 2 came out last month and it is a great family film for fans of action and comedy at Christmas. Earlier this year, I watched The Family Plan on Apple TV+. It stars Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Monaghan, and was such an enjoyable film. I loved The Family Plan , so when the sequel was announced, I was so happy. My family and I are big movie buffs, particularly action movies. The Family Plan 2 is a Christmas film, but it's perhaps one of the least festive movies.

Film Recommendations: 24 of my favourite movies
Here are 24 film recommendations, ranging from action blockbusters to romcoms, for those who enjoy watching things on the big screen. This week, it was my birthday, and I turned 24.

The list included thrillers, romance novels, fantasy novels and more. It got me thinking about what to write for my next blog post. Obviously,

Film Review: The Thursday Murder Club
Richard Osman's cosy mystery book, The Thursday Murder Club, has been made into a movie on Netflix, and here is my review. As a reader, I'm always wary of book-to-film adaptations. Over the years, there have been some great movies inspired by novels; however, there have also been some not-so-great ones. A film has to differ in some ways from the original book; you can't put every detail from a novel onto our screens and have the film fit within a normal time limit. Richard O
