Tiny Furniture
UK Release Date: 30th March

Thoughts: The premise for Tiny Furniture is intriguing albeit slightly pretentious. I'm not sure if the critics warmed to this, let alone the audiences but it's inspiring to see how female independent filmmakers have managed to release a film - whether it's any good or not remains to be seen.

February: Top 20 (Part 2)

Welcome to Part 2 of February 2012's Top 20 list looking at the Top 20 songs that I've adored this month! Read on to find out who made the number one spot...


10. Flo Rida (feat. Sia) - Wild Ones

This song works thanks to Sia's warbling vocals that make up one catchy melody. While I've never liked Flo Rida really his songs do have a habit of working their way up to the top of my playlists and they never fail to put a smile on my face...
