Hairspray
Rating 8: Well, sung, well preformed, good night out. Went more for Solene who loves it and loved it.


the five people you meet in heaven

Rating 5: Wanted to rate lower but went for a five as I got to the end without abandoning it! Story ok but it started with lesson 1, then lesson 2, but not sure if there where more are what any of them are!


Darkest Hour
Rating 8: Good film, Gary Oldman brilliant, Lily James Cute and the plot an education and proud to be British.

Les Mis

Rating 10: Couldn't have been better - Great music, set and performances.


The Greatest Showman

Musical film with everything:- good music, lyrics, special effect and feel good story line. Rating 9



Very good. More plot, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and more ...... Rating 8.5


Christmas Carol, Brewhouse 2017

Well the Best Show on Earth, and of coarse my youngest is the standout performance! .... well done.


Alex Ferguson, Leading

.... umm. Have just put the book back on the self having got to page 68 only. As the title suggests its about leadership and United's winning formula. Not a terrible book, but just hard going, with little to keep me reading. Book review score 4 - I thing 5 and under must mean 'not recommended', No.1 best seller, or not. Have swapped it for; Clough, The Autobiography.


Norman Wisdom, My Turn

.... Great. Norman my childhood hero and a book that increases the love. His life story would make a good film, especially the bits pre-stardom that you probably don't know. Book review score 9.


Wonder

Went with Mrs W to our independent cinema last night to see Wonder. Wife's overall rating 8 and mine 6 (different he / she scales). This compares to Murder on The Orient Express which Mrs W gave a 7 and me a 3. I would definitely recommend the former but not the later, which became an opportunity to catch up on some sleep.

Wonder is good watch about a boy with a rare medical facial deformity, starting school, his family and friends. It's a bit of a tearjerker and very believable except the lack of chemistry between mum and dad.
