Glass is the highly expected third and final movie in the American superhero thriller Eastrail 177 Trilogy written, produced and directed by M. Night Shyamalan. I wasn’t aware of Shyamalan’s previous films Unbreakable (2000) and Split (2016) until recently when I heard of Glass being released and invited to a preview screening. I caught up and watched them in a day-movie-marathon which was…
Mary Queen of Scots is a brilliant and timely film about what it means to be a woman with power. Excellently crafted and beautifully told this film is sure to do well this awards season. It is released in UK cinemas on 18 January 2019. Read my review in which I explain why I believe Mary Queen of Scots is an unmissable film and a great one to start the new year.

Mary Poppins Returns opens in UK cinemas on 21st December and you are in for a treat. I was lucky enough to see it very early on and I can say that it is the family film of the year. Don’t compare it with the original classic movie and don’t feel nostalgic about it. Mary Poppins Returns has to be seen as a standalone original musical comedy to be truly enjoyed. The soundtrack…
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is the latest Marvel Spider-Man animation to be released in the UK on 12 December 2018. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the creative minds behind the BAFTA and Annie-Award winning feature, The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street, bring their unique sensibilities to a fresh version of a different Spider-Man Universe, with a groundbreaking visual style that’s the…
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is finally out on DVD and I am glad I can share my interview with Andy García Andy García who plays Fernando in the popular sequel. Andy García is a confident and charming man in his 60s who has embraced his age with grace. The mature roles he gets these days seem to resemble more and more his own real self. In the Spring he starred in the movie Book Club as an…
Ralph Breaks the Internet opened in the US on Wednesday 21st November and was well received by critics and audiences. Check out what London Mums loved about it and why we rate it a top family animation for the Christmas holidays. Directed by Rich Moore (Zootropolis, Wreck-It Ralph) and Phil Johnston (co-writer Wreck-It Ralph, Zootropolis, writer, Cedar Rapids), and produced by Clark Spencer…
The Christmas Chronicles is most certainly the best Christmas movie I have seen to date. Starring Kurt Russell as Santa, The Christmas Chronicles launches on Netflix on 22nd November 2018. Netflix’s notoriously good writers have created once again an original story, which isn’t obvious and not at all cheesy. It’s worth getting a Netflix subscription over the festive period just to watch…
This is a big week for Disney as they have released The Incredibles 2 on DVD, announced Toy Story 4 animation and now launched the first trailer for all-new grand live-action adventure Dumbo scheduled to fly into UK cinemas on 29 March 2019.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is one of the most expected sequels for 2018 and it does not disappoint. I expect it to be one of the best and most watched movies over the school holidays with fans of Harry Potter flowing into cinemas to find out the connections between the Harry Potter world and the Fantastic Beasts stories. The stellar cast is unsurprisingly good with lead characters…
I am sure I am not alone in feeling really excited for the release of Toy Story 4 in Summer 2019. The trailer looks really good and shows that Disney Pixar is on top of their game after the latest Incredibles sequel – just released on DVD.
