Half term’s starting early at the cinema. The Goosebumps books are established favourites with children and teenagers, but they’ve never made it to the big screen. Until this Friday, 5 February, when they arrive complete with a 12A certificate. Yet, as they’re all short novels, how do they adapt for the cinema? London Mums’ resident film critic, Freda Cooper, summons up all her courage to find out.

DVD review on a night out in Shoreditch London: MISS YOU ALREADY

For busy London mums (actually Mumpreneurs) there’s nothing more rewarding than spending a night out with a special friend watching a good film. I could not resist the invitation to review newly released DVD MISS YOU ALREADY at the Ace Hotel in Shoreditch with my friend after having a luxurious meal at their HoiPolloi restaurant and a pampering session in the room.
MISS YOU ALREADY is a very emotional drama and needs to be watched with someone who shares your deep sentiments. The film is very well acted by Toni Collette and Drew Barrymore in the role of the BFF (best friends forever). It includes funny moments which make the tough pill less hard to swallow when one of the friends is diagnosed with cancer.
