The Graham Norton Show: Will Ferrell/Mark Wahlberg/Mel Gibson/John Lithgow/Shirley Ballas/Kesha (2017) Season 22, Episode 8

I want to see Daddy's Home 2 now.

[10/10 · 25 November 2017]

This episode was delightful. It's one of those episode where I wish I was an audience member because the atmosphere with the guests was such a lovely joyous delight. John Lithgow is an absolute darling and his footloose story was beautiful. Mel Gibson and Mark Wahlberg, as Graham said, perfect casting as father and son, really felt like they were father and son. Will Ferrell, I love Will Ferrell. I loved his dance with the beautiful charming Shirley Ballas. I would have loved for it to go on forever.

Overall they sold Daddy's Home 2 for me. Their bond is strong and it would be a missed opportunity not to have Daddy's Home 3. Please make a third :)

This episode was a feel good episode and my favourite so far in this season.

Justice League (2017)

An exciting future

[10/10 · 17 November 2017]

This movie is family friendly, funny, enjoyable and made me feel relaxed and warm. DC needs to carry on this path to bring both the visuals and the comedy.

The three League members who stole the show for me:

Ben Affleck was born to play Bruce Wayne and Batman. He and Michael Keaton are the only ones who played both excellent Bruce Waynes and Batmans. I could never see Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne he just never had the look. Ben Affleck has the full package, the looks, the personality, the mannerisms. This guy is my Batman. No one could ever replace him in my eyes. He's everything I wanted in Batman and Bruce Wayne. I love this new funny batman. I love his interactions with Commission Gordon and his right hand man Alfred.

Henry Cavill is another guy who has the look that feels straight out of the comics. I loved this new Superman. I love the scene where he came back to life. It had me at the edge of my seat because his acting was explosive. The way he took on the League sent chills down my spine. He is a brilliant Superman. I enjoy his moments with his mother and girlfriend Lois Lane. Clark Kent has a beautiful personality and it deserves to be explored.

Gal Gadot was mesmerizing in this movie. She is so beautiful as Wonder Woman. I loved how, after decades, Diana was still heartbroken over losing Steve Trevor. I really felt her grieve. Gal Gadot really brings this warmth to Diana Prince and Wonder Woman. I loved the Diana and Bruce scenes. The chemistry between Gal Gadot and Ben Affleck is electric. I really hope DCEU explores more of this relationship in the future. It would be a missed opportunity if they didn't. There already is a big fandom called WonderBats that would love this.

So they you have it, my favorites were the Trinity. For those who aren't familiar, the Trinity is a comic book series involving Batman, Superman and Wonderwoman.

My only complaints for this movie were this one family who the movie focused on. I really did not like this at all.

I loved Jesse Eisennberg exciting return as Lex Luthor. This sets up for future movies involving him and Joe Manganiello's Deathstroke hinting at an injustice league. Already excited for this. I can't wait to see them go up against the Justice League. I'm also excited for Green lantern to join Justice League and i'm hoping it's Hal Jordan.

DCEU have opened up many doors and story lines that can be explored and am already looking forward for this.

The Graham Norton Show: Hugh Grant/Jason Momoa/Sarah Millican/Kelly Clarkson (2017) Season 22, Episode 7

Jason Momoa is a sweetheart

[10/10 · 13 November 2017]

I adored Jason Momoa in this interview. His personality certainly sold the movie Justice League for me. He's a lovely gentleman and I wish him all the best in his career. If only there was more time, I would have loved extra Momoa moments. I would love for the Graham Norton Show to have him back next year when Aquaman is released in cinemas.

Hugh Grant and Sarah Millican were funny. They brought some wacky stories involving the butt area, which was alright, until we had to hear another story about the butt area during the red chair and then it became too much.

Sarah Millican really gets involved with everyone and that's brilliant! she does not leave anyone out. Kelly Clarkson was great too singing wise and interacting.

Graham Norton is a gem. He really relaxes his guest and it's such a good show to watch to cheer you up and make you feel warm.

Everything, Everything (2017)

A modern version of Rapunzel.

[10/10 · 18 October 2017]

Amandla Stenberg is beautiful as 18 year old Maddy, the girl who spent her whole entire life indoors because of this illness that apparently would kill her if she left the house. Her only socialization is her smothering mother, her somewhat fairy god mother nurse Carla and Carla's daughter.

Maddy's life changes when a family moves in next door. As Maddy watches this family from her window, she catches the attention of the new boy Olly. Olly soon discovers Maddy's condition but that does not stop him from wanting to get to know her/ falling in love with her.

Maddy builds little models of diners, libraries etc, and in her models she places a little astronaut in them. Maddy then fantasies of being in real life versions of her models with Olly. Each time Maddy fantasies there's always an astronaut in the background. I find this really cute.

Behind her mother's back, her lovely nurse allows for Olly to come in the house and meet Maddy and their romance soon blossoms.

Overall this movie feels like Rapunzel. Maddy being Rapunzel and her mother being the Witch/Mother Gothel. Olly (the handsome prince) comes to rescue Maddy and shows her how wonderful the world is.

This movie is beautiful and the colors are beautiful. I loved it A+

I LOVE THIS MOVIE.

The Graham Norton Show: Harrison Ford/Ryan Gosling/Reese Witherspoon/Margot Robbie/Bananarama (2017) Season 22, Episode 1

Great line up

[8/10 · 18 October 2017]

What a amazing line up.

Harrsion Ford was excellent. His best appearance so far on Graham Norton. He and Graham brought the funny moments.

Ryan Gosling could have been better. He was slightly quiet but maybe that's just him.

Margot Robbie has came out of her shell since her last appearance with Will Smith. She brought a bubbly personality this time. She's got this girl next door innocence to her. Although she's not the girl next door rather the most beautiful woman on this planet. Her looks are very captivating.

The reason I am given this an 8/10 is because of Reese Witherspoon. I felt like there wasn't enough attention put on her. I would have loved an extra 5 mins of Reese Attention. I hope the Graham Norton staff really take this into account next time Reese witherspoon is on the couch.

When the two actress were squeezed together to make room for Bananarama. The camera had the two of them in the one shot, It looked like Reese and Margot had the same make up look on!

bananarama were great too. Three confident women. :)

The Graham Norton Show (2007– )

Best talk show ever!

[10/10 · 15 September 2017]

This is the best talk show ever. Graham is a funny likable host that doesn't make the show all about him. He makes his guests the center of attention. I love how the guests are on all at once. I love watching the biggest stars in Hollywood interact with each other. This show is Very Original - Graham Norton does not ask his guests questions they constantly get ask. He asks original questions - over all his show is original. Never copies other shows but it's other shows that copy him - Tom Hanks said this as well

Over all if you are having a bad day, put Graham Norton on because the positive vibes of his show come through! :)
