Film and Theatre Lover!
The incredible Angela Lansbury turns 91 today and I thought what better way than to mention how fantastic she was in Blithe Spirit in 2014 and seeing her head inside at the stage door! A true legend of stage and screen.
Happy Birthday Dame Angela!
You’re invited to get deep, personal or have some fun with the lessons films have taught you, for the THINGS I LEARNED FROM THE MOVIES BLOGATHON.
Your hosts are Ruth of Silver Screenings and Kristina of Speakeasy, and this blogathon happens October 14-17, 2016.
You can do anything: a list, essay, video, or podcast, to discuss the valuable or ridiculous life lesson(s) you learned from a film, whether it was about love, war, greed, kindness, activism, bravery, sacrifice, or prejudice.

As you probably noticed I went to London for a nice 3 day break last week, mainly because I had tickets for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child something which I had booked nearly a full year before the actual date. I just so happened to book this on the same day that the BFI London Film Festival was going to be on, great timing! My original plan was to stay for 3 nights and get in as many films (and theatre) as possible. But due to cost I changed my mind on this as the hotel was pretty expensive.

I’ve made no secret about my excitement surrounding the reboot of the Power Rangers considering my love as a kid for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers back in the 90s! But this trailer is even better than could ever really have been accepted, as a teaser trailer it actually gives us more than they normally would . . .
