The Mandalorian and Grogu Review

     Star Wars is back on the big screen after a seven year break! There is nothing quite like watching Star Wars at the cinema and after such a big gap, expectations were pretty high for The Mandalorian and Grogu . After the success of the TV show The Mandalorian which began airing in 2019 and the subsequent connecting shows, it was no surprise that everyone's favourite Bounty Hunter and his adopted force user son Grogu would get their moment on the big screen. TV to Movie transitions can be tough, but if done well they can be incredible, so does The Mandalorian and Grogu impress on the big screen or does it fail to jump to light speed? Read on for my full review, there will be minor spoilers.  Check out other Star Wars posts here!      Jon Favreau (Director and Writer) and Dave Filoni (Writer) have long been hailed as the future of Star Wars, after lots of fantastic contributions to the Star Wars universe through TV shows, The Mandalorian and Grogu...

14 Films to Watch this Valentines Day

Are you looking for a film to watch this Valentines? Maybe you have a special someone to watch with, or you’re planning a galantines movie night, or you are just looking for a cute romantic film to enjoy this month. The below list will hopefully put a stop to the endless streaming scrolling for a film to watch.  

In my research for this post, when I was trying to list the perfect 14 films to make your knees go weak and your heart flutter, I noticed one key thing: most romantic films are sad. Most of them have huge emotional storylines, dealing with loss and trauma. Whilst these films are fantastic, they do not scream 'perfect valentines movie’ to me. I want yearning, I want dramatic in the rain confessions of love and endless cute moments. So, I have picked films that probably won't make you cry, because this valentines let's focus on love and happiness, not tears and ice cream. Scroll down for the 14 films you should watch this Valentine’s day!
 

As you can see this list is a mix of teen rom-coms that will make us laugh while the leads fall in love. There are period films were yearning is key to the story. There are the 90s classics and the teen films. All of these films are iconic in their own way, whether it be the grand gestures or the quiet moments of realisation. 
 
What are your go to valentines films? Do like the ones that make you smile or do you prefer the ones that will have you crying? 
 

Have a great valentine weekend! Xx
