Reviews by KarenThis is a (mainly) black & white loosly autobiographical film based on Sir Kenneth Branagh`s childhood during “the troubles”.
It is about a boy called Buddy who is trying to understand what is happening in his community and how it will affect his family.
Despite the subject matter there was a surprising amount if humour – largely from his grandparents.
Overall it was a good film that showed that hatred is bad and war is pointless.

In this British Christmas comedy the Christmas family meet for Christmas, their estranged father returns and famy secrets are revealed.
It is amusing in parts but some parts are a bit odd and over-acted.

This is about a widower bringing up his daughter from newborn through the first few years of her life, while holding down a job.
Although the initial oremus of the story is sad, there are funny moments later on.

This is one of the new vegan offerings from Krispy Kreme for Veganuary.
There are 2 sauces in the filling – caramel & chocolate, caramel icing with dark chocolate stripes. Of the 3 new vegan doughnuts this was my favourite and wasn’t too sickly sweet. However the doughnuts are all a but expensive – even if you buy in bulk.

This is one of the new vegan offerings from Krispy Kreme for Veganuary.
The brownie chucks on top were a bit hard and the chocolate sauce inside was a but rich, but it was edible. As with all Krispy Kremes, the price is a bit expensive.

This is one of the new vegan offerings from Krispy Kreme for Veganuary.
There is a custard and apple sauce mixture inside and a cinnamon crumb topping.
It tastes ok (the cinnamon can overpower the apple and custard) but can be a bit messy when the crumble falls off. As with all Krispy Kremes, the price is a bit expensive.

This vegan burger has a patty, lettuce, slice of tomato and red onions in an oversized bun. It is served with chunky chips. You can help yourself to ketchup, mustard, vinegar and mayo.
It tasted nice, didn’t fall apart and was of reasonable value (£6.65 with a soft drink), but the portion of chips was a bit small and the bun was a lot bigger than the patty.

This is a tom com about a woman who, after a discussion with her friends gets concerned about the number of guys she’s slept with, and decides to revisit all her (20) exes to see if any are her ideal man.
It stars Anna Faris and a pre-Captain America Chris Evans, with (also pre-Marvel) Chris Pratt and Anthony Mackie in smaller roles.
It is amusing in parts but can drag on a bit before the inevitable conclusion.
