The Lost City

The Lost City
The Lost City: Paramount Pictures Studios

So, what kind of film is The Lost City? Well, some have described it as ‘Romancing the Stone-esque’. If you are too young to know what that means, it is a Rom-Com with an adventure twist.

Sandra Bullock plays a reclusive writer called Loretta Sage. Alan, played by Channing Tatum, is her book cover model. They get entangled in a kidnapping – in the jungle of all places, at the hands of Daniel Radcliffe – who plays eccentric billionaire Fairfax.

Spoilers

As you will see from the trailer, Channing Tatum spends a bit of time in the movie – naked! Albeit with leeches stuck to his rear-end. One can only imagine the hilarity that caused behind the scenes, with well-known comedian and joker Sandra Bullock as the co-star!

But, if the nudity wasn’t enough, it would seem that alongside Channing and Daniel – another well-known male actor turns up for a good number of scenes – none other than Brad Pitt.

St Patrick’s Day

St Patrick's Day

St Patrick’s Day falls on the 17th March each year. Originally it was a ‘feast day’ and religious festival for the patron saint of Ireland. But now both the Irish and those that are just Irish-at-heart celebrate with food, dancing, parades and turning things green, across the globe.

For many of us the day is synonymous with lucky charms and ‘the luck of the Irish’… So we take a look at some of these charms. To see just what good fortune they can bring you on St Patrick’s Day and beyond.

Shamrock

Shamrock is named for ‘seamrog’ that actually means little clover. A three leaf clover was used by St Patrick as part of his teachings on the Holy Trinity; those being taught would carry a shamrock for good luck. To this day it is a highly visible symbol and many will wear shamrock on St Patrick’s Day by way of remembrance.

March

1st – St David’s Day

This day in March is celebrated in Wales of course, as he is the Patron Saint of the country, but also in the UK, USA and Canada. David lived until he was 100 years old, but it was 500 years later before he was memorialised in texts of the time. His story may be a mix of fact and legend, but many believe that he founded churches and a monastery and rose through the church to be an archbishop, and eventually he was canonised.

Breaking Free, by Robbie – PIN: 3443

Breaking Free
Stuck in a never-ending cycle?

If you are having trouble breaking free, with patterns that seem to always repeat themselves in your life. It is important to know that there is always a way to break out of cycles and situations that don’t serve you.

What we experience is a matter of what we focus on. When you believe that you can’t change things – you are right. So, start believing that you can change things and you will be right also!

Believe in yourself

Belief is a powerful thing…It can either disempower you or empower you, and the choice is always yours. No cycle is unbreakable but you have to start believing in your power to make your situation better. Using statements like ‘I can’t’ and ‘I’m stuck’ or other statements of this kind are self-fulfilling prophecies. So, change the way you talk to yourself and start saying ‘I can’ and ‘I will’ because ‘I will’ is saying you believe in your will. If you want to do something, you will find a way. If you don’t, you will find an excuse. ‘I can’t’ and ‘I’m stuck’ are excuses. So, question yourself. Do you really want to make a change? Because if you really do, you will find a way.

Bonfire Night

Exploding Fireworkds

Bonfire Night: “Remember, remember, the fifth of November. Gunpowder treason and plot. We see no reason, why gunpowder treason, should ever be forgot.”

Guy Fawkes related bonfires actually began the same year as the failed coup in the night between 4th & 5th of November 1605. Londoners, who knew little more than their King had been saved, joyfully lit bonfires.

In time celebrations became more elaborate with people making a dummy of Guy Fawkes generally called a “Guy”. Children would walk the streets shouting “penny for the Guy”, the money collected would be spent on fireworks for the evening’s festivities. On the night itself the Guy would be placed on top of the bonfire and set alight.

Bond: No Time to Die

Bond - No Time To Die

At the start of the film, James Bond is not actually in service. He is no longer working for Her Majesty’s Service, and is in fact living in the Caribbean. Jamaica is seen as Bond’s spiritual home, where his journey started.

The Story

“His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.”

Director

The making of this film has not been without its problems. In fact, filming wrapped on the very day it should have originally been showing in cinemas. Problems go back as far as August 2018 when Danny Boyle quit as Director. He was eventually replaced by Cary Joji Fukunaga, whom you might know from Maniac – a Netflix series and for his work on TV show True Detective where he scooped an Emmy.

Romantic Partners: Zodiac Signs

Romantic Zodiac

What kind of romantic partner do you make, and are you looking for? Have you wondered how much of what you want and need is impacted by the zodiac sign you were born under? We delve into each star sign, to see just what kind of romance you can expect…

Aries

Aries make for an interesting contrast; they are by nature very independent. When in a relationship they would encourage their partners to also be independent and to have friends and activities outside of the relationship. But that said – they do want very close contact, and would expect daily communications and to be consulted on plans. They would hate to be thought of as needy, however that may be how they come across to some, as they can be quite demanding and dependant on a romantic loved one.
