Ticket to Paradise is a romantic comedy starring Julia Roberts and George Clooney about the sweet surprise of second chances. Set in the incredibly beautiful scenery of ‘Bali’ – although it is actually filmed on location in Queensland, Australia – this movie makes you want to book your ticket to go far away from the UK to ride a boat in these crystal blue seas, and have candle-lit dances in lush forests. London Mums reporters have checked it out ahead of release. Ticket to Paradise is in cinemas from tomorrow.

Film review: See How They Run

Sep 07 2022

See How They Run is a playful murder mystery with deliciously smart humour set against the backdrop of arguably the world’s most famous murder mystery, The Mousetrap, in London’s West End. 

Running for 68 years, The Mousetrap stood out. Producer Damian Jones (The Iron Lady, Lady In The Van, Absolutely Fabulous) looked and researched the rights and then discovered why it had never been made into a film. A very successful Oscar winning producer at the time, John Woolf, who produced The African Queen, Day of the Jackal, and Olivier!, optioned the rights. There was one clause in the contract which said, ‘you can make the movie six months after the play closes’, and of course, it never closed. 

Genius idea now turned into a lovely family-friendly murder mystery for the big screen. Think Knives Out meets Murder on the Orient Express meets Pink Panther

Finally a comedic Agatha Christie-style crime movie suitable for the whole family. 

See How They Run is in UK cinemas from 9 September 2022.

Film review: Bullet Train starring Brad Pitt

Aug 05 2022

On Tuesday 2nd of August 2022 the London Mums Magazine team was invited to review Bullet Train, directed by David Leitch.

An action packed movie with a lot of violent psychopaths packed on to one train. The movie, set on a train is full of twists and comedy.

Brad Pitt plays a role of a trained assassin ‘Ladybug’, and is given orders from his handler Maria Beetle to collect a briefcase that is in the train. Little does he know that there are other trained assassins on the train with their own motives. The pairing of the brothers ‘Tangerine’ and ‘ Lemon’ is very comical.
