Hunting Lila Book Review
Hunting Lila, written by Sarah Alderson. Published by Simon and Schuster UK Ltd, a CBS company in 2011. This book is the most amazing book I have ever read! Well, at least one of the most amazing books I've read this year! Not only did it get me hooked on the characters it also had me turning page after page wanting to know what happened to Jack and Lila! What would happen with Alex? Suki? Demos?

Baby Driver Review
If there’s one word that encapsulates Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver, his latest dynamite of a film, it’s giddy. You want to ballpark other words? Sure. Let’s go with thrilling, joyful, heart racing, tender, toe-tapping, white knuckle. Hell, let’s throw Bullitt crossed with an iPod and a playlist that your annoyingly hipster friend wishes they thought of first. It’s a palette cleanser, a blast of sheer, pulsating fun. It’s a movie movie, where the characters positively relish purring the title character’s name as if they’re in a cheesy 50s road race flick. Where the music beats are at once surprising and such a natural fit to the on-screen action (only Wright could make Barry White’s Never, Never Gonna Give Ya Up the perfect face-off track in a diner).

Adventures in Babysitting (1987) Review: A Wild Night Out and an 80s Classic with a Big Heart
A Lovable Relic of 80s Teen Comedy When Adventures in Babysitting hit theaters in 1987, few could have guessed that this modest teen comedy would become such a beloved 80s relic. Directed by Chris Columbus in his feature debut and starring the effortlessly appealing Elisabeth Shue, the film captures both the reckless fun and innocent sweetness of a bygone era of studio comedies.

Are Remakes Killing Original Movies?
Now I know what you're thinking, oh hell yes of course remakes are killing original movies. There is no way that Hollywood hasn't had a good idea since the 80's. Well yes and no. I know I know, you're thinking geezz this girl can't make up her mind. She must be drinking crazy juice. Well if you're calling wine my crazy juice I'll take it. But hear me out as to why I think there is hope for original ideas.

New Jumanji Trailer: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Jumanji is an adventure movie that first came out in 1995 and instantly became a family favorite. Actors such as Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt, Kirsten Dunst and Johnathan Hyde carried us through a deep and fantastic story that will forever stay in our hearts. Sadly I feel that the new movie coming out in 2017 - Jumanji: Into the Jungle - will fall way short of any such effect. Although not a complete loss, the sequel fails to capture the wonder and depth that made the original a timeless classic. In this article, I break down the good the bad and the ugly of the new trailer (you can watch it here).
