Yes, darlings – we at London Mums packed our sparkliest coats, slapped on a touch more highlighter than medically advisable, and strutted down the global premiere red carpet in London for The Family Plan 2. And what a night it was. We rubbed shoulders (politely, but meaningfully) with the gorgeous Michelle Monaghan, the equally gorgeous Kit Harington, and the young cast who are so…
Defying gravity never felt quite so dazzling. Our London Mums team had the most magical evening at the special screening of Wicked For Good, where green and pink sparkle filled the room and several of us – myself included – found ourselves wiping away the odd sentimental tear. Our brilliant teen reporter Alec Mackeson joined us too, offering thoughtful observations and sharp analysis with a…
If November wasn’t busy enough already (seriously, what happened to quiet autumn weekends?), along comes something utterly irresistible: the very first LDNDOCS Documentary Showcase – and I’m practically buzzing out of my boots. Because this isn’t just any film festival. Oh no. This one includes a Q&A with Ben Stiller himself. BEN. STILLER. I’m already rehearsing how I’ll stay calm and…
It was a scene of pure, urban poetry. As a sudden downpour lashed a public square, dozens of pedestrians made a dash for the nearest shelter: the billowing, stainless-steel skirt of a giant Marilyn Monroe.For a few minutes, the iconography was turned on its head. The very same skirt that once caused a cinematic frisson in The Seven Year Itch was now serving as a communal umbrella. Laughter…
Last night London Mums’ contributor Rosalba Costantini attended a special screening of Tron: Ares, Disney’s long-awaited return to the digital universe it first created over 40 years ago. This is what she thought of the latest sci-fi flick. “As someone who grew up fascinated by the idea of humans entering computer worlds, I couldn’t wait to see how this new chapter would bring the story…
On Sunday 5th October London Mums Magazine was invited to a very special screening of Gaby’s Dollhouse The Movie at The Vue Cinema, Leicester Square. We arrived in the morning to find many excited little faces waiting to meet Gaby herself, and it was done beautifully. A quick photo, then up the stairs to a room full of activities and snacks!
We did a little crafting, got a colourful hair braid…
On Wednesday 17th September 2025, London Mums Magazine was invited to a special screening of One Battle After Another, the latest film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, starring none other than Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn. With two of the greatest acting powerhouses of their generation sharing the screen, expectations were naturally high – and this film certainly gave us plenty to talk…
London Mums Magazine was invited to review the latest supernatural horror film The Conjuring directed by Michael Chaves, to be released on 5th September, 2025.
I’ll admit from the start – I’m not usually a fan of modern horror movies. Too often they rely on gore and shock factor, which isn’t really my cup of tea. That said, I grew up loving classics like Nightmare on Elm Street and…
London Mums Magazine was invited to review the much-anticipated Smurfs (2025) reboot – and what better way to test a family film than by taking a real family along? Eight of us went, spanning children, teenagers, and adults, ensuring every perspective was covered. Out on 18 July 2025.
The new story centres on a dramatic twist: Papa Smurf has been mysteriously kidnapped by the dastardly Gargamel…
James Gunn’s Superman kickstarts DC’s cinematic universe with a fresh, emotionally intelligent take on the Man of Steel. Vibrant, textured and at times deeply moving, this is no origin story — we’re plunged straight into a world where Clark Kent (David Corenswet) is already Superman, and the stakes are both global and intensely personal.
From the very first moments, Corenswet’s…
