The Crown is a new drama from Netflix which is focused on Queen Elizabeth II. The first series takes a look at a young Elizabeth first getting married to Phillip and then becoming Queen after the death of her father. Having to balance her new role and her marriage is the key thing we are looking at in this series.

I don’t see 2006 as 10 years ago I mean that is just madness. But it has been a whole decade now since that year, which is terrifying in all honesty. I thought it was a perfect opportunity to have a look back in this blog post at the films from 2006, the ones I enjoyed at the time, the ones I have caught up with and quite frankly the ones which are getting better with age and standing the test of ten years.
2006 was also pre-blog so I don’t even have many reviews for films from that year, if you search 2006 as a tag I am sure you will be shocked to see the lack of reviews. Especially when one of them is a bit of a strange film choice.

Stumbled across Mettel Ray Movie Blog and spotted a fantastic blogathon and thought I would get involved. Fantastic idea of coming up with your movie alphabet making it consist of movies, directors, actors and actresses who’s lives revolve around movies.
The way I decided to approach picking my alphabet was to put down the first 5 movie related things that came to mind for the certain letter! Well most of the time 5 . . . That was actually harder than I thought!
Another of the movies I managed to recreate whilst in London involved the Queen herself . . . in Lego form, but this is The Queen!
This day marks the Diamond Jubilee for Queen Elizabeth II which is just an incredible occasion. I therefore decided to make a top 10 list of movie queen’s we have seen over the years!
God Save The Queen!
Michael Sheen appeared on the Graham Norton show a week or so ago now. I must first say that I love Graham Norton and have been a fan of his for such a long time now, he asks questions that other talk show hosts could not get away with and getting them to do random things. Any way Michael Sheen was a guest and even done an impression of graham. They talked about his recent appearance in New Moon as Aro and the impact that this could have on his career, this lead me to think about Michael Sheen . . .
Remembrance day or Poppy day is celebrated on the 11th day of the 11th month, to remember the end of the First World War. As it was the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month that the war came to an end.
A two minutes silence is observed at 11am on the 11th (and on Remembrance Sunday as well). I was watching on TV live from Westminster, so had the 2 minutes silence. On Saturday at the Newcastle match we had a minute’s silence before kick off for remembrance day, as did all other matches across the football league.
The Queen attends Westminster and the silence is followed as soon as Big Ben strikes 11.
The Poppy quickly became part of this remembrance and are on sale for weeks before, and everyone on TV are seen wearing them. Which I think shows a fantastic type of togetherness.
We will not ever forget those who lost there lives in battle for us all to have a better life.
I have decided to post all of the news in one post, as some days it is over running the blog !!!
