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 portrayal evokes unmistakable echoes of the late, great Christopher Reeve. It’s not just in the strong jawline or statuesque frame — it’s in the twinkle of humility, the vulnerability behind the cape, the charm that makes him both divine and deeply human. He’s got charisma and warmth — not just good looks.

London Mums Magazine was invited to review the new F1 Movie starring Brad Pitt as the main lead. We sent two young F1 enthusiasts to review the movie. This film shows the journey of retired F1 driver Sonny Hayes returning to the sport after 30 years of retirement. He shows a strong desire to continue to race, not for money or fame, but so that he feels alive.

Pixar has a long tradition of delivering heartfelt, visually stunning animated stories, and Elio, their latest offering directed by Adrian Molina (co-director of Coco), continues this legacy with a vibrant space adventure full of emotion, humour and cosmic imagination.
At the heart of the story is 11-year-old Elio Solis, an introverted and wildly imaginative boy who unexpectedly becomes the Earth’s representative to an intergalactic federation known as the Communiverse – a sort of universal UN made up of quirky alien species from all corners of the galaxy. Due to a cosmic mix-up, Elio is whisked away into space and mistaken for an ambassador, setting off a whirlwind of interstellar missions, bizarre encounters, and interplanetary diplomacy.
