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 difficult…
When a press release lands describing a show as a “climate change romantic comedy musical” and the venue is mercifully air-conditioned during the week London decided to melt into a puddle, you go. You go immediately. Last night I hauled my sticky, overheated self to The Other Palace in Victoria, slid into a cool velvet seat and watched two people on a stage do more for the environmental…
A large part of daily life now happens through screens. Work, news, and even simple conversations often pass through a device before they reach us. This shift did not happen all at once, yet it changed habits in a lasting way. Many people move through the day without noticing how often they check their phone or open an app.
A better way to approach this is not strict control but quiet…
In an education landscape increasingly shaped by debates over financial literacy, civics, media influence, and real-world preparedness, Tuttle Twins has emerged as a notable participant in the growing market for supplemental educational content. Founded in the United States by Connor Boyack, president of the Libertas Institute, the brand was launched in 2014 with the aim of helping parents…
There comes a point where every franchise risks overstaying its welcome. After Toy Story 4, another sequel felt unnecessary. Yet Toy Story 5 manages to find a reason to exist.
The film explores what happens when the world changes and the things that once gave us meaning begin to disappear. While previous entries focused on being outgrown by children, this chapter widens the lens. The toys…
There are summer evenings that remind you why live music matters. This was one of them. Under a London sky that gave us rain, sunshine and a rainbow, the Live at Chelsea concert series returned to the Royal Hospital Chelsea after four years away, and what a homecoming it was.
The setting alone steals your breath. Sir Christopher Wren’s 17th-century courtyards, framed by the river and…
I know what you are thinking. Monica, why are you dragging us to a conference about Leonardo da Vinci’s old papers? Because, my darlings, this is not a dusty lecture. This is a detective story. A digital heist. And it happened right under the nose of Casa Italia next to Buckingham Palace.
Yesterday I slipped into the new Italian embassy in London, a stunning building overlooking the Royal…
I am Italian. So when I saw that the Fireside Folktales Festival in Barnes was staging a piece by Dario Fo, Nobel Prize winner, genius satirist, and the only playwright who can make politics feel like a carnival, I felt truly excited. Fo wrote Dedalus and Icarus with his wife and creative partner Franca Rame, an actress and activist whose name should be shouted from every rooftop. Together, they…
I sat through The Devil Wears Prada 2 with a glass of something robust and a heart full of hope. Two hours later, the glass was empty and the hope was dead. This film is a disaster. A beautifully dressed, star-studded, expensive looking disaster.
And nobody is saying it out loud. Because the first one was fine. It was original enough, fun enough, quotable enough. But this sequel? It has…
