 My Review:
Having been unwell for the last week I thought I would cheer myself up by watching Nanny McPhee, this is a film which was a big part of my childhood and never fails to make me happy.

I think that by showing how bad the children are at the start of the film is key for this movie but also getting to understand that they are only being bad in order to get their father's attention as they don't get any now that their mother has died. By having Nanny McPhee as someone who understands this but helps to teach the children how to be polite, go to bed when they are asked and more some without her intentions she really helps to change the children and make them into a happy family. I also think that the ending of the movie is really cute with the maid having had the education in which she was wanting even if not for a long time but manages to get married to the man she was working for but because they both love each other. Not only this but as the children also approve it makes the movie feel warm and keep this as a brilliant family movie which makes the audience laugh and smile a lot throughout the film.

The only thing I didn't like about this movie was how much the maid changed in only two weeks of being with the Lady as it seemed her changes were too fast and not naturally done. The only other thing about this movie in which I wish they showed a it more about how Nanny McPhee came to find the family in which she ends up helping. As not being on any of the books it would have been interesting to find out.

Overall, Nanny McPhee is a brilliant movie for a family and one that is very easy to watch. I would recommend this film to those who are looking for an easy watching family film to watch and one that will make you laugh. This is a film I will definitely be seeing again!

 My Rating: 4/5

    Good review. There were some problematic bits and pieces in the movie, but it was still a satisfying (and wholesome) family movie. Plus, I love the final scene....so magical!!!

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
