Oh hey there.

Firstly, huge apologies for my absence on here. You will not want me to bore you with the details so I'll save you a long story and just say that busy was an understatement. I am back for good though. (Starts singing Take That songs...)

Secondly, since I've got lots of catching up to do, you'll have lots to read and keep you occupied...including Milan Fashion Week, Batman v Superman, and something else I'm not even supposed to talk about yet! Speaking of Superman though, I'm fresh from seeing Henry Cavill at the press screening tonight which was very exciting, and I'm excited to write all about the film for you too.

Watch this space! And many more spaces to come!

Much love,
Bev xx

Happy Leap Year! 

We don't really want a repeat of this...

Or this...Oh, the brutality.


And you know what, someone's made an actual game where you can help Leo win an Oscar.

Glasses at the ready. We'll be watching.

Let me be really honest with you. I don't know much about the Super Bowl. I do know, however, that Coldplay and Beyonce and Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga pretty much slayed it as this year's guest performers. I know that the Denver Broncos beat the Carolina Panthers. (I Googled it.) But what I'm probably most excited about, is knowing that all the Super Bowl Special film trailers are here! Bourne is back, Captain America did some more things, X-Men got dark, and there are so many others that I simply can't contain my excitement.

Shall we begin?

Deadpool
This film's out this week and Marvel's anti-hero is creating quite the buzz. There's always time for one last trailer...

Captain America: Civil War
We have to wait til April for the real thing but for now, we have this. There's chanting and a lot of dark, intense staring.

Gods of EgyptOh look, here's Gerard Butler as an Egyptian. This film is out later this month in the US (April in the UK), and is rocking all the 300 vibes.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2
Not satisfied with other mutants appearing in the Super Bowl, this crew are back. If you liked the first, I'm sure you'll like this one too...

It's a miserable, wet and windy Tuesday night in Leicester Square. As you approach the Square, there's a boarded up area and the vague sound of music through the rain. On the other side, the red carpet of the Dad's Army World Premiere lights up the otherwise gloomy evening. The one-and-only-it's-Suchet John Suchet is interviewing the all-star cast, which includes Sir Michael Gambon, Toby Jones, and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Everyone - including original Dad's Army stars Ian Lavender and Frank Williams - is here to celebrate one of Britain's best-loved and most iconic sitcoms. What a night.

My friend and I were super excited to be walking the red carpet alongside some of Britain's absolute great greats. We even glimpsed legendary sportswoman Dame Kelly Holmes.

The carpet is a catwalk, and several guests turned up in Home Guard military attire. Breaking away from the theme, however, was Zeta-Jones, sporting a stunning but risky teal dress for the weather. She was also joined by the Chelsea Pensioners, veterans who were brightly uniform for the occasion.


Vaguely trying to dress to recreate the Dad's Army spirit, I wore some of my own old classics ('borrowed' from my mum's wardrobe!), bringing my own vintage into the now. This purple leather coat would be so difficult to find these days - plus it's utterly weatherproof!

Inside the cinema, the director Oliver Parker was joined by screenwriter Hamish McColl and producer Damian Jones who told us how wonderful the cast were to work with. One crucial point they highlighted was the fact that this film isn't an exact remake or continuation, but rather a new re-imagining of the original. We were then joined by the stellar cast (minus Bill Nighy) to introduce the film.


Massive thanks to MCM Comic Con, the film's official sponsor, for the tickets! You can read my full review here.
