 My Review:
Having seen this movie loads of times before and being a fan of Disney I was so happy to give this another watch and review it. This is a film in which I always enjoy, makes me laugh and has songs in which I always find myself singing along to.

I love that this film has the traditional Disney set up however has the girl as someone who is in charge and tying to save her people by going to the Gods and putting the heart back. I love that this has her having to find out the true history of her people in order to understand why it is so crucial for her to go and find the Demigod and how to help save her people from dying of starvation now that her island's life is starting to rot. I do think that the chicken in which is rather stupid is rather funny and he is one of my favourite characters and does make me laugh with just how much he doesn't realise what is really happening around him or what he is doing. The music as well within the movie is really catchy and very easy to get stuck in your head, making you sing along. Having the ending of the movie where Maui realised why the lava monster was coming after him and his past as well with him being born human was something I thought brought a lot of information about the character and helped the audience more connect with him. Having the heart of the land being taken and that was why the land was dying I thought was a really good touch and highlights how people need to look after the Earth or it will disappear and die around humanity.

Overall, Moana is a great Disney film and one that I will watch again and again. I really hope that they make more like this as it is one in which I really enjoyed and one of my favourites from them in recent times. I would recommend this film to those who are a fan of Disney, animated movies and people who are looking for a film in which the whole family can watch and enjoy. This is definitely a film I will watch again.

 My Rating: 5/5

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
