Film and Theatre Lover!
At this time of year we cannot help but watch the same films again and quite frankly we probably don’t focus enough on the villains in those films. I actually thought this would be a rather amusing list to put together with some interesting choices (hopefully).
Films remain a big part of the countdown to Christmas, with a new Christmas film being made every year. Although timeless classics and holiday shorts go on gracing screens every December, the heated debate rages on: what is the best Christmas film?
New research conducted by Funky Pigeon brings the debate about the ultimate Christmas film to a conclusive end, as the leading online gift and greeting card company reveals the best festive films of all time.

Amanda and Iris both have relationship problems in the build up to Christmas. They then decide to house swap for the festive period after finding each other online, Amanda living in LA and Iris in Surrey, England. It is quite the culture shock of each woman.

I think I need to re-watch The Holiday this Christmas (and review it) love Kate Winslet and her character in this film!
Take a look at the films that are leaving Sky Cinema during July 2017. Catch them while you can, whether you love them or want to catch up with them before they disappear!
Saturday 1 July
Herbie Goes Bananas – Family
Sunday 2 July
The Exorcism of Molly Hartley – Hits
Everyone at the moment is apparently in love with Christian Grey again. You know that billionaire who thrives off abusing women with pain in “sex” punishments to make himself feel better.
In Fifty Shades Darker he even calls himself a sadist. He’s controlling, manipulative and suffocating. Telling you that you can’t do something and wanting you just for his own. The latter of that would or could be nice I guess but not in the way it is portrayed through his character. Does this therefore risk our ideas of love and relationships to change?
Give me Robert in Bridges of Madison County standing in the rain any day over Christian Grey and his “playroom” any day!

Here we go with the start of the list!
Ok so this one from an English Patient may seem like a very strange post on Christmas Eve but I guess it is quite a good time to reflect on life and the previous year which in all honesty 2015 has been nowhere near fantastic. It has had a hell of a lot more lows than highs, and being off work of the past week and a bit has been pretty fantastic in all honesty. It has given me the much needed time to actually see my friends and catch up with them, the only problem is I cannot then do that every year and only be able to see some people properly at Christmas. Although it has given me quite a few days of enjoyment in all honesty, but shouldn’t life have a good balance all year round and not just for a few days or a week?
This certainly does not feel like the case well any of the time in all honesty. Maybe that should be my plan for 2016, I love the thought of keeping it film related as that is something that I use as an escapism from my very dull work filled life in all honesty. They help me switch off and I have made sure to get myself to the cinema, especially on the worst of days. I am sure a lot of people reading this will do the same with film and that is something that really aids to the enjoyment factor at times. It helps you forget about all of your problems and issues for a few hours, that really is something that each and everyone of us need now. Lifting your head up from your phone and taking something in, entertainment, art call it what you will but it helps. Trust me.

15. The Holiday (2006)
It has Kate Winslet in it. Ok if I need more than just that reason, it is all set around Christmas time about two women who want to get away from the life they are currently hating. So they swap houses and it does lead to some lovely moments. I have to mention Mr Brightside dance!
After seeing The Other Woman at the cinema it got me thinking that I don’t particularly like Cameron Diaz so I thought I would try to see if I could pick seven films she’s in that I actually like! I think I just about managed to do it as well. Just thinking to her more recent roles I am still quite traumatised by that scene in The Counsellor . . . Yes you know the one I mean with the car windscreen!
So the following are seven films she is in that I actually like! I guess it doesn’t mean I particularly like her character but that’s not massively important! I think in recent times she really has taken on some truly awful roles.
