How has your week been? What have you been reading? I’ve had a surprisingly successful weekend in terms of reading. I wasn’t expecting to have finished a book but, last night, I did. I’d been out to celebrate a friend getting a new job and I left early. Of course, […]
For those who haven’t read it, this week’s Tuesday Review was Judy. A film that mixes Renée Zellweger with Judy Garland and puts her in the 1960s. Which makes Down With Love the perfect film for today’s Throwback Thursday. Well, it is a film that mixes Renée Zellweger with Judy Garland and […]

I have a friend who has always loved Ralph Fiennes. I’d never really got on board with him as a concept until Skyfall. But she was always trying to convince me that there was more to him. Maid in Manhattan was always my go-to argument. I mean it’s such a stupid film […]
