It’s been a while since I did a Top Ten, it’s not easy to keep coming up with ideas especially when you are a bear of little brain. I’m currently watching Strictly Come Dancing on catch-up and disagreeing completely with the judges (come on – Kellie and Kevin were an absolute mess) and then it hit me…
Top Ten: Summer Holiday Films

I’m off to PGL this weekend with my Brownie unit. We’re going to be spending the weekend jumping off high structures, zip-wiring across fields and playing netball on trampolines. When I say we I, of course, mean they will be doing all that. I’m not that daft…
Top Ten: Most watched films

I’m very unhappy with the news that a remake of Dirty Dancing is in the pipeline. Original choreographer Kenny Ortega has been signed up to direct the remake which is bound to be an absolute disaster. Why do studios feel the need to remake classic films instead of developing new ideas? Jennifer Grey’s old nose will be spinning in its grave.
