I ate pizza at the Showcase Cinema this evening before going to watch the film “The Magical Faraway Tree,” which is a British family film based on Enid Blyton’s classic book. It follows a modern family relocating to the countryside, where they discover an enchanted tree with magical residents. The film starred Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy.
I am a child at heart, and i feel that this film would probably appeal to children aged from 5 to 92 yrs old. 😉
I loved the Family Song. 😀
I loved the December 1978 film Zorro, which starred Catherine Zeta Jones (who I named my first daughter after, as I loved the name), Sir Anthony Hopkins, and Anthony Banderos.
The photo below was captured by a friend on my birthday when I was aged just 21 years old. I was so CZJ.
I have a thing about robots 😃
I loved the Transformer films. 🙂 The films starred Megan Fox, Shia Beouf, Josh Duhamel, Jon Voight and Sir Anthony Hopkins
Here’s another film I loved!
Bumblebee
I went for a lovely walk at Ferry Meadows yesterday, and I photographed this lovely carousel. It reminded me of how we loved to ride on the carousel when both of my daughters were younger. They loved the fair, just as I did as a young girl. My ex-husband, J Alan, and I took them to the fair regularly. I often frequented the Stamford Fair.
It also reminded me of the film Half a Sixpence, which starred Tommy Steele and Julia Foster. I loved this musical film so much. It is one of my early film memories. 🙂
This is me riding on the carousel with my daughter Kitty when she was younger. 🙂
This little catouselnwas photographed by me at Peterborough Cathedral.
“If the rains got to fall”
This is definitely one of my favourite British films. 🙂
My parents resided in British India. Did you know there are approximately 19.9 million to 23 million Roman Catholic Indians, representing around 1.55% to 1.57% of the total population. While Christians make up about 2.3% of India’s population overall, the Roman Catholic Church is the single largest denomination within the Indian Christian community.
My parents were both practising Christians, with one originating from a traditional British background and the other from a Christian family of Indian heritage.
(Orange and White).
Both of my parents adapted to the British language and culture after they relocated from British India to England. They were both Roman Catholics and exclusively spoke English as their primary language.
Q. Who are your favourite film directors, Frances?
A. 1. Without a doubt, Steven Spielberg
2. James Cameron
3. Ron Howard
This is one of my very first social media photographs, just over 20 years ago. 🙂
I photographed this Tiger at Woburn Zoo.
There is something very majestic about this Tiger.
Another film I absolutely loved was “Life of Pi.”
This evening, I watched the film “The Notebook,” which starred Ryan Gosling, Rachel Mcadam, and James Garner. It has been a long time since I cried watching a film. However, this film was able to profoundly evoke an emotional response. It managed to tug on every heart string.
My favourite quote from the film is:
“I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I’ve ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, every day we are together is the greatest day of my life.” 😭
It was such a beautiful film from start to finish. I loved it all.
Watching a film like this reminded me of the reasons why I truly enjoy visiting the cinema. It gets Top Marks.
The most beautiful scene in the film is when: Allie and Noah are in a rowing boat together, surrounded by the lovely white swans.
The film depicted the story of two individuals whose love was so profound that it remained unbreakable, right to the very end.
My version of the same song. 🙂
I am currently watching the comedy film “The School of Rock”. It is thoroughly entertaining, featuring Jack Black, whose performance is particularly amusing. This film has been a welcomed distraction today and is greatly lifting my spirits. 😃
This film reminds me a little of the film “Kindergarten Cop,” but without the policing. It starred Arnold Schwarzenegger. Another good actor.
It also reminds me of the film “About A Boy,” which starred Hugh Grant. 🙂
