Urban Hymn Movie Review

Looking for that feel good movie of the Summer?  Urban Hymn may just be the flick.  It's got all the makings of a heartstrings pullin' tearjerker plus a British accent.


 

“URBAN HYMN”, a new beautiful yet heartbreaking film with tremendous performances. Directed by Michael Caton-Jones, “URBAN HYMN” stars Shirley Henderson, Steven Mackintosh, Ian Hart, Shaun Parkes, Letitia Wright, Caroline O’Neill, Isabella Laughland, Jack McMullen and Katie Redford.

"A redemptive coming of age story about a wayward teen, Jamie (Letitia Wright), who is encouraged by an inspiring and unconventional social worker Kate (Shirley Henderson), to use singing as an escape from her troubled background. Jamie’s loyalties soon become torn between Kate and her possessive and volatile best friend, Leanne (Isabella Laughland)."

Urban Hymn albeit a little rough on the edges was overall a good movie with an all too familiar storyline.  The acting was gritty at times which helps make the story more believable.  Great acting?  Not really but some performances really stand out.  I appreciate Level 33 Entertainment providing me with a screener and introducing me to work of lead actor, Letitia Wright.  Letitia has a beautiful voice (speaking AND singing) and I look forward to more of her work. 

Urban Hymn is playing in theatres worldwide.

Life is a Beach Giveaway Hop

Spring is in full swing.  The birds are singin'.  The pollen is falling and temps are FINALLY warming up.  So what better time time to start planning our Summer getaways. This year - as always - we are beach bound.  It's one of our fave places to visit given we only get to the beach once or twice a year.   Last year's visit to Cozumel was one for the record books. We stopped by this little restaurant and dined on grilled shrimp in a cabana right on the beach.   'Ohana also has a line of tequilas in flavors I had never seen before.  Tropical flavors such as coconut, mango and pina colada.  Hubby and I tried the 'Ohana peanut butter tequila.  The owner said folks either love it or hate it... we LOVED it!!! As I was sipping all I could think of was how good this peanut butter tequila would taste as a baste on my tequila wings.  It would be like a tequila satay wings type dish. * * * G I V E A W A Y * * * One lucky Three ...
