Yesterday Film Review

Image
Cast - Lily James, Ed Sheeran, Kate McKinnon, and Himesh Patel Director - Danny Boyle Synopsis- Jack Malik is a singer who lives in a seaside town and his dreams of being a singer and fame are fading away even though his childhood friend Ellie has supported him through all aspects of his music career.  After Jack was involved in a bus collision the world was experiencing a blackout this meant that people had forgotten certain things and people. Jack discovered that everyone has no idea The Beatles existed, he thought he should perform Beatles songs as no one has ever heard them. this idea becomes a huge success with help from an agent. Review- I loved this film it was so funny I was laughing multiple times throughout this film. I would 100% recommend this film it was funny and the singing was sensational and it was nice to hear more modern interpretations of classic Beatle songs. I would say that this is the best biopic film released so far and let's hope future biopic films

Live Action Lion King Film Review

Image
Cast - Donald Glover, Seth Rogan, Beyonce Knowles Carter, and James Earl Jones Director - Jon Favreau Synopsis-  Mufasa's brother Scar has plans to take over the throne and get rid of his brother and nephew Simba as this is the only way he can become king. Scar convinced Simba and Nala to go to an elephant graveyard and during this exploration, they are attacked by hyenas. Review- Best Disney live-action so far. It is a straight live-action CGI retelling of the original but I still loved it there were subtle changes to the story to make it seem somewhat different to the original. I thought the singing was good Donald Glover s adult Simba stole the show with his voice. Timon and Pumbaa really carried the film and they were good if not better than the animated originals. I would see this film again.

Come From Away Musical Review

Image
This is my new favourite musical. I was talking to a member of staff at the theatre and they said this show was better than Hamilton and that was the best prior to this show. I thought it was a very bold claim but I can see why I was speechless this show was amazing everything about it was amazing. I have never felt the way I did at the end of this show I thought well it might get into my top 4 but I had no idea who good this show was. I have always said that if anyone were to ask me what show they should see as a first musical I would have said Les Miserables but now I would say Come From Away. This show was everything I wanted and more cast and band were outstanding. The best show currently on the west end.

Toy Story 4 Film Review

Image
Cast- Tim Allen, Tom Hanks, Keanu Reeves, and Annie Potts Director- Josh Cooley Synopsis- The Toy Story gang go on a road trip with Bonnie and her parents and prior to this road trip Bonnie makes a new friend Forky. The road trip leads to Woody and Bo Peep reuniting and during this time they both discover that what they want from a toy life is worlds apart. Review- I did really enjoy this film however was it needed no and I agree with this I prefer the way TS3 ended and I was not a fan of the overall ending to this film. I did think that Ducky and Bunny were welcomed additions to the Toy Story franchise. I would not rush out to see this film again as I did not think it was amazing even though the Gaby gaby scene at the end made me cry.  It was a fitting ending to the old Pixar era and roll on the no Sequel era.

Rocky Horror Picture Show Musical UK Tour Review

Image
I very much enjoyed this show and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it, unlike other lesser know shows I was aware of a few songs of this show such as Time Warp. This is a show that people dress up and dance along so if that is not your thing then this is not the show for you. again this show featured Joanne Clifton and she was amazing yet again. I thought the music, dancing, and singing was outstanding as it should be however I thought it was the strangest show I have ever sat through, however, I would go and see this show again as I thought it was funny and I really enjoyed the music in the show.

Tsum Tsum/ Tiny Big Feet News

Image
Japan has released the best Tsum Tsum set seen so far this year it is a Toy Story 4 set I hope this set gets released in the UK as the first set, in my opinion, was lacking in characters. This set includes Buzz, Woody, Forky, Officer Giggle McDimples, Bo Peep in blue outfit, Bo Peep in pink outfit, Rex, Slinky, Jessie, Hamm, Gaby Gaby, Duke Kaboom, Ducky and Bunny.  My favorites in this set are Forky, Rex, Slinky, Hamm, Ducky, and Bunny. There is finally a first look at the D23 exclusive Tsum Tsum box set, this set is the only one so far and there is no word about any other sets. this set is based on the film The Adventures Of Ichabod Crane and Mr. Toad. I am not a huge fan of this ser and compared to the sets released at the last D23 this is a serious downgrade which is both good and bad ad it means that I won't be sad about not having it. The next tiny big feet release is Aladdin from the promo pictures it looks like the set might include Abu, A
