I thought it was about time to take a little look back at the world of film a whole decade ago, yes really we have had Heath Ledger’s Joker for that long now! I was seriously hoping for a re-release at the cinema in all honesty, felt it would have been perfect to celebrate the 10th anniversary.
I am going to take a look at some of the films that I enjoyed most from 2008, this might be looking back to having seen them for the first time at the cinema or just catching up with them later. It’s actually quite scary when you look back 10 years and not realise which films were actually released then and we can now call old. I would think most of them are standing the test of time pretty well in all honesty.
I think 2017 has been a pretty impressive and good year for film, that meant that picking a top 10 was extremely hard and I have had to think a lot about what was going to make my final list. Originally I had 21 films to get down to 10 which was very tricky. I have therefore had to really think about which films I enjoyed the most this year, which made me feel good and that I would love to watch again and again.
Just missing out on the final list were the following films Colossal, Baby Driver, Dunkirk , Thor: Ragnarok, Breathe, Wonder and Get Out.
Check out the films I watched at the cinema during 2017 here.
The unlikely romance between young actor Peter Turner and former Hollywood leading lady Gloria Grahame.

To continue the celebration of Julie Walters becoming Dame Julie Walters I thought what better way than to have a musical moment to cheer everyone up on this cold Monday than a clip from Mamma Mia!
This is an absolutely hilarious moment in the film and as always Walters is outstanding I think the fact that she is acting opposite Skarsgard makes it even better as lets face it he is pretty great all the time as well.
Julie Walters is a much loved British actress and this week she was awarded with the highest honour and became a Dame, presented with the award by the Queen. She was then serenaded in the best way possible by the cast on set of Mamma Mia 2 . . . Because there is nothing like a dame!
Paddington is very happy with his life with the Brown family and very settled in London. Constantly thinking about his Aunt Lucy and how he can make her 100th birthday extra special, all leads to a pop up book of London. The only problem is that book has a hidden meaning and he’s not the only one who wants it.

I always enjoy the BAFTA awards, quite possibly because I can watch them very easily life? Well I think so. No real surprises in the nominations and I do always love how they have a separate cateorgy for Outstanding British film no double nominations with best film this year though. Won’t be too long now until the awards which take place on Sunday 14th February 2016.
