That’s right Dame Angela Lansbury turns an amazing 95 years old today. She is certainly one of my all time favourites and in so many amazing films and tv shows. Happy Birthday!
Cinema First – The 450 Films For UK Cinemas!
Today Cinema First released a list of films that can be used at cinemas when they reopen in July. With Cineworld being the first to announce a date for England on 10th July they will then need films to show. The list has a very wide variety of genres as well as from all decades. I personally hope to see a lot of older films on the big screen for the first time, I don’t want recent ones given a release! Let’s appreciate some amazing films on the big screen for what could well be the very first time (Yes Casablanca and Some Like It Hot I am talking about you, not forgetting my all time favourite When Harry Met Sally!)

Here are the 450 films that could be shown in July at a cinema near you!

22 Musicals in 12 minutes (James Corden with Lin-Manuel Miranda and Emily Blunt)
This is absolutely fantastic! Fitting in 22 musicals in 12 minutes, James Corden with Mary Poppins Returns stars Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda!
North East Pantomimes 2018!
Last year I put a list together of all the Pantomimes taking place in and around the North East. This year I thought I would put it together a lot earlier, so hopefully it will help raise awareness which Pantos are on during the festive season!
(If any of the venues would like me to come and review the show I would be more than happy to do that!)
