wanted to make a difference. She started by raising funds to donate to the Malala Fund and other local charities as well as journaling her thoughts of gratitude. From those beautiful daily gratitudes, 365 Days of Gratitude was born. Muskan now only 10 years old is inspired by knowing that her words will make a difference in people’s lives and would like to make a difference globally with her charity called Helping Hands, whose mission is to help homelessness in every country. Partial proceeds of this very book will be donated to Helping Hands as a continued effort in ensuring you are also a part of making a difference. Muskan lives with her parents and her dog Butterball.
Jeff Nichols Midnight Special, is an excellent supernatural character study. A man (Michael Shannon) abducts a boy (Jaeden Lieberher), who possesses paranormal powers. They’re pursued by members of the cult to which they belonged. Only gradually do we realise that this is his son and he is protecting him rather than harming him. The FBI get into the act and track the boy and father with a terrible ruthlessness. When we finally meet the mother, Kirsten Dunst we come to understand the terrible burden this family has been put under. The Cult built around the boy feels robbed, but the boy with his ability to sear you alive is unique. He needs to be with his own kind but where are they? What are they? This is a human mystery that turns over your emotions at every turn with great performances from Shannon, Lieberher, Joel Edgerton (as Shannon’s friend), and Kirsten Dunst. A much undeservedly neglected film
Above average Marvel movie with brilliant special effects and wit and style. One leaves impressed not just by the magic but how skillfully they can take such a selfish prig who by learning humility (well a little) turn him into a fighter for justice. It’s a triumph of style over substance but definitely superior to many other Marvel films of late. Cumberbatch is always fun to watch.
The Revenant won Oscars but sticks in the mind for trying to be historically accurate and not politically correct with a stand out performance by Leonardo. It was illuminating reminder about life as pioneers and how little respect everyone had for the lives of others and or the environment or animals. Historical movies tends to gloss over the inconveniences of the past but perhaps we are more ready to admit to just how rapacious it all was and had very little to do with glory or justice.
+ Stranger Things on Netflix was more compelling than fifty other movies in 2016 and a welcome return to our screens for Winona as the hysterical mom. The kids were brilliant and it doesn’t matter they stole every plot from Stephen King because they were all good plots.
Charming, cute, sad and bittersweet tale of a boy forced to befriend a girl dying of leukemia.
SING – brilliant rip off of any number of Reality TV singing idol shows with singing pigs, crocs, hedgehogs, frogs. the Trailer is totally wonderful. Can’t wait to see it.
I loved reading stories about the future that would take me far away from my boarding school in Woodhall Spa or later St James. The future was exciting then and scary. After careers that involved travel and photography and jointly editing the
