The Theory of Everything is the story of the most brilliant and celebrated physicist of our time, Stephen Hawking, and Jane Wilde the arts student he fell in love with whilst studying at Cambridge in the 1960s.
The story
Little was expected from Stephen Hawking, a bright but shiftless student of cosmology, given just two years to live following the diagnosis of a fatal illness at 21 years of…
Considering I never liked magic and magicians I have to admit that the experience I am about to talk about totally surprised me (in a good way). I was recently invited to attend a magician training and show with my son who was the Child Reporter for First News to cover the UK release of the animation film The House of Magic on 25th July 2014.
Frankly I was more excited for Diego to do well in…

The Nut Job is a 90 minutes PG rated family animation adventure comedy that will hit the screens just in time for the summer school holidays! It’s all about squirrels in their nutty world and in this case specifically about an outcast squirrel…
Books are so wonderful. Personally I rarely find uninteresting books and stories for children are particularly original and colourful to please the young readers’ eyes. Reading charity BOOKTRUST has recently unveiled the WINNERS OF THE BEST BOOK AWARDS jointly with AMAZON KINDLE a party-style awards ceremony in central London attended by authors and 300 child judges and introduced by no less…

Holidays are stressful enough with kids and keeping them entertained all the time is often a challenge, let alone when you have to keep up the good work they have done at school and the teacher is not around. We have found some fun educational activities for school children to do during these school holidays. New educational titles including popular sticker books will certainly come handy.

In the last couple of weeks I have watched a few mainstream movies but none of them really impressed me. The cinematic beauty this Summer comes from independent low budgets films and in the kiddies’ space two in particular caught my imagination because they are sensationally written: Boyhood and Earth to Echo.
Kids-driven Sci-Fi Earth to Echo is E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) meets The…
While the blockbusters are dominating the summer box office, it would be all too easy to overlook the lower budget films on offer.
