People always say the book is better than the movie. And most of the time that’s true. Here’s why. You’ve heard it a thousand times before: The book is better than the movie. Is this just some people’s way of seeming intellectually superior? Or is there something to it? Let’s talk about the books vs …
When I asked my friend if we could add the Amsterdam bench to our itinerary, she immediately understood which bench I was talking about. The Fault in Our Stars bench. Now, this is a girl who doesn’t really read or watch TV and usually misses just about every pop culture reference I make. However, eons …
[ This post contains affiliate links ] Two questions I get asked all the time are “what is the best Harry Potter book?” and “what is the best Harry Potter movie?”. I’ve never been able to come up with an answer. I usually go for the Philosopher’s Stone or the Deathly Hallows because the beginning …
Bookworm Characters in Literature Books about bookworms are some of my absolute favourites and I always feel a sense of kinship with the characters who have always got their heads stuck in a book.

They’re certainly not to everyone’s tastes and I don’t think there’s been a single critically acclaimed shark film since Jaws in 1975 but I just can’t get enough of them. Last year we saw Blake Lively take on a shark in The Shallows but this year things …
Last night, I was treated to a preview film screening of Amy Schumer’s new film: I Feel Pretty. Amy herself was supposed to attend and give the introduction but unfortunately she was ill and couldn’t fly *sad face*. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this film, thinking it would either be hilarious or cringe …
I’ve been lucky enough to see The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society twice before its release date, the second time being a screening in Vue Leicester Square hosted by yours truly, which was pretty insane. This story has gone from one I’d never heard of (and even if I had, I wouldn’t have …
I have to admit I was very skeptical about Midnight Sun. Another sappy teen romance with a questionable plot line (extreme sensitivity to the sun, really?) with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son taking the lead. Hollywood nepotism at its finest. That said I also suspected that Midnight Sun would be one of those films that critics love to …
