Film review: Disney's Cars 3 in cinemas on 14 July 2017

  Disney’s Cars 3 is possibly the best Cars film released so far. My 10 year old son Diego has seen the animations Cars and Cars 2 at least 1000 times.

Ten films to watch with dad

To celebrate Father’s Day this weekend, I am taking a look at ten films to watch with dad. Yes kids’ movies are great for putting on when you need to make dinner, do some work or simply some peace and quiet, but sometimes we can’t help in joining our kids on the sofa.
