 My Review:
Having never seen this movie and having owned it for a couple of months I decided to give it a watch and I am so glad I did as this film was better than I expected it to be.

Baby Driver is about a man called Baby who is working for a crime lord to pay him back for something in the past however when all of the money is paid up and he thinks that he is finally free he gets pulled into one last job that he does not want to do.

I thought that this film was really good in showing why he had his headphones in all of the time and how he was still able to know what everyone was saying and his passion for music. I thought by having him live with someone who had to do sign language was good as that is  not really seen in movies and explains how Baby still knows everything which is happening around him when other people think that he is not listening to them. This movie did also have great car chases and a lot of action which seemed necessary and not forced which was something I did find went well with the film as a whole. Not only this but by adding a little humour with the Mike Myers masks did make me laugh and showed how the people were still human and that they still made mistakes like everybody else does. The love interest in this movie was also a good way of showing how Baby wanted to change his life and give her a life she always wanted however without making it cheesy and like the film is focused upon their romance instead of the work that Baby has to do. I do find myself liking Ansel Elgort as an actor more with everything I see him in and find that he was a perfect choice for playing the main character in Baby Driver.

I would recommend this movie to those are looking for an action film which isn't all explosions but a bit more of the real world. I will definitely be seeing this movie again and I am so glad to have picked this film up.

 My Rating: 4/5

Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUdy0Cu3f_o My Review: Looking through my movies and wanting something based in space to watch I decided to put on Supernova which is a film in which I couldn't remember at all. Not remembering it made me feel like this was a new movie to me and I did keep me watching all of the way through easily. I like that this film showed how the device in which they discover is able to make people stronger and able to make them younger as well. By also having this device able to reattach body parts it makes the audience worried about how they will get rid o

Moon Over Soho - Ben Aaronovitch (book review) *contains spoilers*

Book: Moon Over Soho Author: Ben Aaronovitch Genre: Crime, Fantasy, Mystery Published By: Gollancz Published Year: 2011 My Review: Having my colleague let me borrow the second book in the Peter Grant series I was looking forward to see how they would progress from the first book and what supernatural beings that they would have to defeat now. Moon Over Soho  is about jazz musicians who end up dying not long after coming off of the stage and seeming healthy at the time. Feeling that something is wrong they call in Peter Grant to help with the investigation and discover that something supernatural was going on. While this is happening there is a new threat arriving called The Faceless One who is also a wizard but no-one remembers what they look like. Will Peter be able to stop the threats facing London? Personally, I liked this book a lot more than the first book as it was already established also there was more supernatural beings introduced and to worry about in London th
