Show review: The Pianist

Watching The Pianist at Park Theatre was an emotional and thought-provoking experience that stayed with us beyond the end of the performance. What stood out most was the way the production explored the relationship between music, memory, and survival. Rather than simply telling a story, it invited the audience to imagine what it feels like to face fear and uncertainty while trying to hold on to…

Movie review: Clayface

On Monday 19th October 2026 London Mums Magazine was invited to review Clayface, a dark DC horror film. Horror is NOT my genre, but I went to watch Clayface because it was my friend’s birthday, and let me tell you… I was NOT ready!  This movie had me screaming and jumping out of my seat, and my scream was so loud it made the neighbours jump too!I came to celebrate a birthday…

An Autumn evening with Lakeland: Good food, lovely company & a clever kitchen must-have

There’s something rather lovely about an evening that combines good food, beautiful surroundings and a little kitchen inspiration, and that’s exactly what Lakeland had in store for us!

Movie review: Digger starring Tom Cruise

London Mums Magazine was invited to review ‘Digger’ and this is what I thought of it. Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu is back with his original film DIGGER, and he’s bringing Tom Cruise with him. But forget everything you think you know about a Tom Cruise movie. This is something else entirely. The story Cruise stars as the most powerful man in the…

Movie review: Animal Farm

London Mums Magazine contributors were invited to the UK premiere of Animal Farm on 12th July. George Orwell’s novella has been studied by generations of readers, but transforming such a complex story into an animated family film is no small task. The result is an entertaining and accessible adaptation that introduces younger audiences to Orwell’s world, even if it doesn’t quite…

Movie review: Spider-Man: Brand New Day - Tom Holland’s back, but is this really a fresh start?

I attended the multimedia screening of Spider-Man: Brand New Day with the same flutter of excitement my son gets when he spots a new Marvel Lego set. And Tom Holland could swing past my window any day of the week. Now 30, a little broader in the shoulder, and flexing some seriously grown-up biceps, he’s clearly been doing more than just eating Peters Pasta. But as I settled in with my popcorn…

Animation movie review: Minions & Monsters

London Mums Magazine was invited to review animation movie Minions & Monsters. I was accompanied along with 3 minions aged 8, 10 and 18, and it turned out to be a really enjoyable family film. It managed to keep both of them engaged from start to finish, despite the age difference, with plenty of laughs, exciting moments, and colourful animation. The film does a good job of…

Movie review: Supergirl

As a mum of two superhero obsessed children, I went into Supergirl (2026) hoping for a fun family film with plenty of action and a positive role model. What I got was something a little deeper than expected and, in many ways, more rewarding. What stood out most to me was Kara herself. She’s brave and powerful, but she isn’t perfect. She makes mistakes, struggles with…
