Nueve – Review
Went to Nueve in Didsbury last week with friends. Its a Tapas restaurant which we had heard was good. Of course before going, had a look at the menu beforehand – although the menu on their web site was a bit hard to read as the text was small and you could not zoom in. […]
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom – review. Rating: 3/5

A Quiet Place – review (spoiler-free). Rating 5/5
I went to watch the movie A Quiet Place about a week ago. I had heard it was good and I like the 2 main stars Emily Blunt and John Krasinski. To be honest I have not seen much of John Krasinski but seen several things Emily Blunt has been in and both of them […]
