Browsing on Netflix can be pretty addictive sometimes but also amazing if you are researching movies of a particular star. One actress I have always been impressed with is Natalie Portman. And here is the list of some of her films in the last 15 years. What I love about the films Natalie stars in is that they have no obvious endings or storylines. They include no cliches or predictable turns. She…

Postman Pat: The Movie hits the UK cinemas on 23 May 2014.
If you are a big fan of Postman Pat like my 7 year old son who has watched absolutely ALL (with no exaggeration) series many times on TV and on DVD, you are certainly disappointed for the first 10 minutes of the movie while you are getting used to the different voices and CGI faces. But then the characters become familiar again and you…
Last Saturday my son and I took a trip to the cinema for our first movie marathon together. We headed to Vue at Westfield London (in Sheperds Bush) because of the very comfy chairs and great viewing from any seat of the cinema there. Vue Cinemas are also launching an ‘All-inclusive Family Package’ in conjunction with First Choice holidays. The package gives families entry into a film, as well…

And if you can’t…
It’s been a great Easter for family movies! Rio 2 and Muppets Most Wanted for the younger film fans, Captain America:The Winter Soldier for the older ones. But the big film aimed at the holiday is The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
It’s another super hero and another sequel. But the great thing about Spidey is that he’s not like all the others. True, he takes his mission very seriously but…
Just in time for the Easter school break, Rio 2 is released in UK cinemas this weekend. In the past, sequels of good movies were usually disappointing with a few exceptions (The Godfather 2), but most recently it seems as sequels are well made movies in their own right, sometimes even better than the original ones (Muppets Most Wanted and Monsters University). Rio 2 is no exception. Its storyline…
When you thought the last Muppets movie was the best you have ever seen, they do it again and Disney releases the best Muppets of all times. Muppets Most Wanted is like the Muppets Show meets 007 meets The Pink Panther. It has all ingredients for the perfect movie to entertain both parents and children alike. As in all Muppets movies you can read the storyline at two different levels. The kids…
