REVIEW Mamma Mia 11349 views
Who went to see Mamma Mia this weekend? It is a great film to see with the girls and perhaps to build into your hen weekend celebrations with some Abba costumes to parade around town afterwards.
Meryl Streep leads an all-star cast (Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Julie Walters) in the feature-film adaptation of the beloved musical that has been seen by more than 30 million people in 160 cities and 8 languages around the world. Bringing the timeless lyrics and melodies of iconic super group ABBA to movie audiences, Mamma Mia is a must-see!
An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island, Donna (Streep) is about to let go of Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), the spirited daughter she’s raised alone. For Sophie’s wedding, Donna has invited her two lifelong best girlfriends — practical and no-nonsense Rosie (Julie Walters) and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya (Christine Baranski)— from her one-time backing band, Donna and the Dynamos. But Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her own.
On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, she brings back three men from Donna’s
past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier. Over 24 chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloom and old romances will be rekindled on this lush island full of possibilities.
Inspired by the storytelling magic of ABBA’s songs from “Dancing Queen” and “S.O.S.” to “Money, Money, Money” and “Take a Chance on Me,” Mamma Mia! is a celebration of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family found.WP Rating: 8/10

The Duchess 9013 views
Anyone seen The Duchess yet? We were totally inspired by the costumes. So much so that we have got hold of a few of the designer's sketches and a featurette to share with you. We have the lowdown on the film too - post a comment if you have seen it and let us know what you thought.
Like Princess Diana, her direct descendent, Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire was beautiful, glamorous and adored by the public. But while her beauty and charisma made her a household name, one thing always seemed to escape her: love.
Beneath Georgiana’s glamorous façade lay an intelligent, vulnerable woman stranded in a loveless marriage to the Duke, one of the richest men in England. Frustrated by the limitations imposed on her by virtue of her sex and her class, she rebelled, entering into an intense relationship with the beautiful Bess Foster. Georgiana’s rebellion
extended to the public sphere where she tore down the conventions, becoming a political campaigner for the liberal party. In so doing she fell in love with Charles Grey, the future Prime Minister, finally discovering the meaning of true love. But could true love survive the strictures of the Duke, of Bess and of Society – the pressures of marriage and motherhood, of friendship and loyalty, of class and celebrity?
What followed was tragic, but Georgiana’s unquenchable spirit sustained her and, unlike Diana, she ultimately found peace...
The costumes (click on the link to see a featurette) were inspired by the era but remained in tune with the modern faces of Keira Knightley and Ralph Fiennes. You could pick up a tip or two for your own wedding outfit here - remain true to yourself rather than getting carried away with tradition.
