Practical Magic 2 Review

     Autumn is here, magic is in the air and the Owen's witches are back on the big screen in Practical Magic 2 . Released in 1998 Practical Magic  is the ultimate cosy, spooky girlie autumnal film that has remained popular over the years. Pressing play on Practical Magic , when summer turns to autumn and the sun turns to rain creates a fuzzy sense of nostalgia for many. Nostalgia is a wonderful yet dangerous thing for a film, for it gives an almost impossible standard for sequels to match. So, is Practical Magic 2 able to live up to the cosy nostalgia of the first film? forge its own path? or fail to spook and entertain? Read on to find out - there will be some minor spoilers!      Picking up years later Sally Owens (Sandra Bullock) has once again turned her back on magic and erased all knowledge of magic from her daughters, Kylie (Joey King) and Antonio's (Maisie Williams) memories.

Disney Summer Watchlist

It's finally SUMMER!! Today is the hottest day in the UK so far, it's actually over 30c which is amazing because most of the time England is cloudy, rainy or cold and most of the time summer only lasts for like a week. Now if you have followed me for a while you will know I like a movie watchlist, so I have created a Summer watchlist for you all and guess what? All the films on the list are Disney ones. I am a massive Disney fan, and nothing makes me think of summer more than some of the films on my list. 

Last summer I went to Disneyland Paris (you can read about my trip here). When the sun and Disney magic combine, I truly think Disneyland is one of the most brilliant places on earth - summer for me is about happiness and Disney in the sun is one of my happy places. So that is what inspired me to write this list. Now I have included a mix here such as animated classics: A Bugs Life and The Little Mermaid. Summer themed original Disney Chanel Movies Camp Rock and High School Musical 2 which take me back to when I was at school and would spend all summer in the garden and watching movies. I also included Pirates of the Caribbean for those of us who dream of spending our summers on a white sand beach and fighting pirates. I spent a summer in America working at a summer camp and The Parent Trap brings back all my camp memories (Chestnut Till I Die!!!). I have included The Lion King - now it's up to you which version you can watch, the 1994 classic or the live-action 2019 version (out in UK cinemas 19/07/19), I will be watching both. (So keep an eye out for my review). 

As it's summer and summer is all about relaxing and enjoying being outside there is no timescale to this watchlist - just watch and cross off at your own pace. Make sure you save the list, print it, give it a share and let me know which movie you are watching first!!

Thank you for reading - Let me know in the comments what movies make you think of summer xx 


Also, this year I am attending my first outdoor movie screening at Leeds Castle! I am so excited and cannot wait to share my experience with you all xx
