We love great cinema. It’s the best way to unwind and escape into the lives of our favourite characters. Here’s what we’re tuning in to this month that have to be on your watch-list!

Nailed It!
Rating: 11+
Let’s face it, cooking shows are great and all, but not everyone is a master chef. That’s where this hilarious TV show comes in. Nailed It! is a bake-off with a twist - the bakers are total amateurs. As possibly the ‘realest’ reality cooking show, the mammoth tasks performed by people who have little to no knowledge of baking result in some major catastrophes that will have you in stitches as you relate to the woes from the safety of your sofa.

Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle
Rating: PG 13
This classic tale has been reimagined by Netflix. Far removed from the jolly sing-along that is Disney’s The Jungle Book, this story is a slightly darker and more sinister look at Rudyard Kipling’s novel. With even the CGI characters looking a little worse for wear, the interpretation takes on a more raw adaptation as Mowgli takes on Benedict Cumberbatch as Shere Khan.

Mary Poppins Returns
Rating: PG
Kicking off a year of nostalgia is Mary Poppins. And, who better to take on Julie Andrews’ iconic performance than Emily Blunt? The film maintains the same characters as Jane and Michael, now adults lose the magic in their lives. It’s up to Mary to bring it all back for the brother and sister, and it’s definitely bringing it all back for us, too!
