Film Review: Sing

Sing directed by Released on 27th January 2017 Genres: Animation, Comedy,Musical Feature Length: 103 mins Format: DVD Buy on Amazon Rating: Sing’ is the story of Buster Moon, a dapper, down-on-his-luck koala whose theatre has fallen on hard times. In a last-ditch attempt to save it, he organises a singing competition. It’s open to everyone, and everyone turns up: Rosita, a pig who used to sing but gave it up to have a family; Ash, a punk rock porcupine; and Johnny, a gorilla torn between his family’s criminal gang and his showbiz dreams. Get up on stage and ‘Sing’ your heart out with an all-star cast including Matthew McConaughey, Scarlett Johansson, Reese Witherspoon and Taron Egerton. Review: So going to watch a film filled with families and little children may not have been the best decision I made at the weekend. Especially as I ended up going to the cinema alone. So it was with great awkwardness that I sat in my seat to watch a film aimed at the under 12s. This is a cheery story that is filled with nostalgia and […]

Mini Review: Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris Series: Midnight Texas #1 Published by Gollancz on May 6, 2014 Genres: Fiction, Film Genres, Mystery, Paranormal Pages: 305 Format: E-Arc Source: Netgalley Buy on Amazon Goodreads Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It’s a pretty standard dried-up western town. There’s a pawnshop (where someone lives in the basement and runs the store during the night). There’s a diner (although those folk who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there’s new resident: Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he’s found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his own). If you stop at the one traffic light in town, then everything looks normal. But if you stay a while, you might learn the truth… • EDIT Full review of Midnight Crossroad now LIVE!! […]
