Yesterday (Film Review)

-


Star Rating: ✩✩✩✩

A romantic comedy centered around a world where the 'The Beatles' don't exist and only one man, Jack Malik (Himesh Patel) remembers them! Struggling to make it in the music world, Jack jumps at the chance to bring back some of the world's greatest music by going solo and re-educating the human race with what it had lost 'Yesterday'. However would he risk giving up being the legends that were 'The Beatles' for the women he loves?!

Director, Danny Boyle and screenwriter, Richurd Curtis combine all elements that portray into a romantic comedy, love, laughter, silliness and unique whacky storylines. This story may entail the mystery of 'The Beatles' disappearing from life along with some other significant factors, such as Coca Cola and more importantly Harry Potter, ummm, sorry, WHAT?!?! However, we have a romantic side to the storyline between musician Jack and his manager Ellie (Lily James), who have grown up together in Suffolk. They are clearly made to be together, but Jack's sudden fame has got him flying to LA, playing in arenas and working with highly qualified business people in the music industry, such as Ed Sheeran and his crazy manager. All of these extra factors in Jack's life have caused a blockage between them and it tests whether true love overrides anything, especially when a spotlight has finally been shone on you.

For young and old, this movie is for all generations. One of today's best songwriters, Ed Sheeran, makes an appearence and plays quite a lengthly part in the film. With his modern music charm he changes one of the iconic song names from 'Hey Jude' to 'Hey Dude'. James Corden makes an appearence too, along with Meera Syal, Sanjeev Bhaskar and Dominic Coleman and many other stars. Possibly the brightest star is someone that Jack is eager to see down in a secluded house by the sea. I'll give you a hint, think of the visual aid that Harry Potter wears on his face, any ideas?

All in all, a truly gleeful romcom that shows 'The Beatles' are still musically powerful and can win over a crowd, however some people may think "well it's not Coldplay, it's not Fix You"- as said by Carol (Sophia Di Martino).

Italy: A Coastal Food Guide

I think we can all agree that Italian food is just like heaven on a plate. The burst of rich flavours combined with the vibrant colours and smooth and crunchy textures will get your taste buds excited on all the feasts that Italian food has to offer. This will be a guide to lead you through all of the delicious food, such as pasta, pizza, gelato and more down by Rapallo, Santa Margherita, Portofino, Genoa and the Cinque Terre.  I'll start off with Rapallo, my favourite food place was at this hotel called Hotel Europa or as I liked to call it the pink palace, as it stood out from it's surroundings by its' vibrant colour. This hotel has a very wide restaurant space and a quiet calming atmosphere. The people who work there also seem to be Ed Sheeran fans, as there was a lot of his music playing quietly in the background, no complaints from me!😂I think it was my favourite place to eat, because the food was so creamy to the point where it melts in your mouth and it was so...

......................................................................................................................................       ........................................................................................................................................ It's becoming increasingly popular in our daily breakfasts and even dessert. I have recently loved adding this delicious oat, fruit and sweet blend into my food, especially smoothie bowls! Of course I love eating this combo for the taste, but also because it fills me up and I'm someone whose appetite is ridiculous and it takes something special like this to do the job! So if you love granola as much as I do and would love to learn how to make some, please see below for my recipe.

Spring is slowly heading into summer in the UK at the mo, but as I am writing it is currently pouring down with rain and is very cold - classic. To be fair though it has been hot and sunny in the last few weeks, if you count 25℃ as hot, haha only in England. Anyway, I thought I'd share with you on how to make some homemade elderflower cordial, because it's that time of year and we actually have elderflower growing in our garden, which is such a revelation because we are not natural green-fingered people at home. If you don't have an elderflower tree/bush at home, then why not take a walk, you'd be surprise how much elderflower there is outside your front door! Below is the recipe for a refreshing drink that will keep you cool and your tastebuds tingling for more! Ingredients: 5 elderflower heads (make sure they are fully bloomed) 450ml boiling water 340g caster sugar 2 Lemons Also you need a glass bottle, which is sterilised - look at st...
