Becky’s Movie Previews So we’ve made it to the end of the year. It might not have been the best of years but there’s been plenty of amazing films to get us through it. Well the year isn’t over yet so here is what is on this festive month.

Coming Soon…

Sully This is the true story about a US Airways Pilot who in January 2009 managed to land the aircraft he was flying on the Hudson River in New York when both engines failed shortly after take off.

Barely 3 minutes into the flight at approximately 2,800 feet had they struck a flock of geese, disabling both engines and rendering it impossible to reach an airport safely. Captain Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger (Tom Hanks; Forrest Gump, Cast Away) manages to land the aircraft on the Hudson without a single casualty. In the wake of the event the media hailed him a hero but the experience left Sully with PTSD, repeatedly imagining the plane

crashing into a building. To make matters worse, the investigation into the crash suggests that one of the engines was still running and that it was possible to make it to a nearby airport. As a result of pilot error, which would effectively end his career, he needs to prove to the investigative board, and himself, that what he did was the only option and the only way to save the lives of those on board.

With Hanks heading up the cast and Clint Eastwood in the director’s chair (The Changeling, American Sniper) this is sure to be a well shot drama which will have you rooting for the pilot from beginning to end.

Release date: 2nd December

Moana There is no doubt in my mind that Moana will not only appeal to kids but to adults as well as this is Disney’s next offering and follows the story of an adventurous Polynesian teenager (Auli’I Cravalho) who sets sail on a daring mission in order to help save her people.

Whilst on her mission, she comes across the once-mighty demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson; Fast and Furious, Central Intelligence) who guides her in her quest. They sail across the ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds. On the way to saving those she loves, she may just discover something she didn’t know she sought, her own identity.

14

A new direction for Disney, they cast 14 year old Hawaiian native Auli’l for the voice of Moana and the soundtrack features authentic music too. Always a fun offering from the Disney giants this will definitely draw in the crowds, especially with school holidays coming up as well.

Office Christmas Party We couldn’t get away without a festive film in December. Although this isn’t the usual sweetness and light serving we usually get at this time of year.

This film focuses on the renowned office Christmas party which is dreaded for a number of reasons including the consequences of having a little too much to drink and making a fool of yourself in front of the boss.

The CEO of a large company (Jennifer Aniston; Friends, Horrible Bosses) tries to close the branch run by her bard-partying brother Clay (T.J Miller; Deadpool, Cloverfield). So he decides, along with his Chief Technical Officer (Jason Bateman; Horrible Bosses, Juno), that they must rally their co-workers and host the most epic

office Christmas party in an effort to land a potential client and close a sale that will save all their jobs.

Not your usual festive cheer but if it’s something a little different that you’re after then this is for you Release date: 7th December

Collateral Beauty A successful New York advertising executive (Will Smith; Independence Day, Men in Black) begins to worry those that care about him when he retreats from life following a great tragedy.

While his concerned friends desperately try to reconnect with him, he seeks answers from the universe by writing letters to Love, Time and Death. It’s not until his notes bring unexpected personal responses that he begins to understand how these constants interconnect in a life fully lived, and how even the deepest of losses can reveal moments of true meaning and beauty.

Featuring quite the stellar cast which includes Oscar winners Kate Winslet (Titanic, The Reader) and Helen Mirren (The Queen, RED) as well as Edward Norton, Naomie Harris and Keira Knightley. This is a film that will leave you weeping and holding onto the ones you love a little tighter.

Release date: 26th December

Russell Grant’s Horoscopes - December old routine. Exploring a country known for its unspoiled natural vistas will be inspiring. Take along an easy going friend for company.

The two of you will have a great time exploring the sights together.

GEMINI May 22nd June 21st

ARIES March 21st April 20th It will be hard to get a dream off the ground in early December. Try not to get discouraged when an authority figure criticises your initial attempts. Patience and perseverance will pay off.

Fortunately, friends will be very supportive throughout the first half of the month. Ask your loved ones for help when you encounter difficulty. A bold visionary will offer sound advice about a creative project; be sure to take it.

The Full Moon on the 14th brings exciting news about your family. A round of celebrations will be triggered. Take this opportunity to reconnect with your nearest and dearest. During the second half of the month, you will try to keep a low profile. Despite these efforts, a powerful person will ask you to take the helm of an important project. Don't be surprised when you're given a pay rise, promotion or high profile job on the 29th.

That's when the New Moon will mark a career breakthrough.

TAURUS April 21st May 21st A team project will be very frustrating in early December. It will be impossible to do a good job with so many conflicting opinions. Fortunately, you can make a good impression on authority figures by launching an independent effort. Creating a unique product or service during the first half of the month is strongly advised. The Full Moon on the 14th will help you earn extra money. Use this sum to buy a new car or computer. The second half of the month will invite you to expand your horizons. Taking a trip for pleasure will be a welcome change of pace on the 29th. That's when the New Moon will make it possible to break away from the

16

It will be hard to get a straight answer from your boss in early December. You will have to muddle ahead as best you can. Be prepared to start a job from scratch. This situation will be frustrating, but it can't be helped.

Take your cues from an older colleague who has lots of experience. By taking a philosophical approach to setbacks, you'll become a valued member of the team. The Full Moon on the 14th is ideal for making a serious commitment.

Getting engaged or married is a distinct possibility. If you're already in a serious relationship, you may launch a business partnership. Someone who is in the grips of an addiction needs to be confronted in the second half of the month. The New Moon on the 29th will give you the strength to communicate some hard facts to a loved one who needs help.

Don't mince your words.

CANCER June 22nd July 23rd

LEO July 24th August 23rd Be realistic about romance at the beginning of December.

Releasing a desire for perfection will make your personal life much more rewarding. Working with a partner is strongly advised during the first half of the month.

Collaborating with somebody who is highly logical will allow you to reach new heights. The Full Moon on the 14th will bring the successful conclusion to a group project. Use this success as a launching pad to bigger and better work assignments. Be open to unorthodox teaching methods during the second half of the month. If you remain patient, you'll see the method to your instructor's madness. The New Moon on the 29th is perfect for launching a fitness regime.

Taking more exercise will give you an attractive glow that will be difficult to resist. A steady job will be yours for the asking. Take this opportunity to build some financial security for you and your loved ones.

VIRGO August 24th September 23rd Be respectful of a loved one's desire for privacy in the early days of December. Focusing on work will be a welcome distraction during the first half of the month.

You'll make great progress with an assignment that draws on your creative talent. Hosting a party could be lots of fun. Take this opportunity to bring together your nearest and dearest in a spirit of harmony. The Full Moon on the 14th marks a turning point in your domestic life. This is a great time to buy or sell a property.

Relocating to a place that affords beautiful views will be inspiring. If you're looking for love, you could find it during the second half of the month. You'll have to play the aggressor in this relationship.

Money from a loan, grant or scholarship could become available during the second half of the month. The New Moon on the 29th invites you to launch a creative project.

It will be difficult to find fulfilling work at the beginning of December. Your love life will fare much better. If you've recently met someone you fancy, you will have to be the aggressor. Don't be afraid to pursue your heart's desire. Spending time with your amour will make professional challenges more manageable. The Full Moon on the 14th will allow you to rest, relax and recuperate from a stressful assignment. This would be a good time to take some time out to think things through. During the second half of the month, you'll be on a more solid footing with your career. You might have to work overtime during the second half of the month. Fortunately, your loved ones will be very supportive. Are you single? You could meet someone special near the 29th, when the New Moon attracts lots LIBRA September 24th October 23rd of romantic attention.

Christmas is almost here!!

I absolutely LOVE it but as always it brings the usual stresses of present buying, socialising and the expectation of being merry.

This month I wanted to offer you some quick tips for fighting the Christmas stress!

1) Remember and repeat – “this too shall pass”! This is a phrase I learned to believe in whole-heartedly when I had my son a couple of years ago. It may feel like it’s never ending, but you won’t be queuing forever.

The work Xmas party will be over in a few hours.

Hang in there - it passes.

Christmas lasts a couple of weeks and then it’s all over for another fifty!

2) Learn how to calm down. I’ve mentioned 7/11 breathing in a heap of previous articles. It works!

Use positive self-talk and conscious muscle relaxation to cope and ease the strain and the panic.

3) Check your diet.

Boring – it’s Christmas which means a box of orange Matchmakers definitely counts as one of my 5 a day. But too much indulgence will leave you sluggish, tired and probably in a sugar crash where you’ll feel extra

Please tell your Local Business where you saw their Advert

grumpy and bah-humbug like!

Grab a satsuma and some nuts!

4) Get more sleep. It’s the season of office parties, kid’s plays and seeing absent relatives, often who live far away. We cram a lot into our Christmas holidays (if we’re lucky enough to get time off from work) and this often leaves us sleep-deprived, rather than rested. Take time to get some extra sleep where you can. You don’t have to cram every minute full and you don’t have to accept every invitation.

5) Plan ahead. As much as there is to fit in, there’s nothing quite as head exploding as being ready to set off to a family party only to realise that you need to wrap some presents for some people that you won’t see again. It’s not worth the stress. Get organised avoiding stress is a whole heap better than dealing with it!!

I hope that some of these tips are useful and I wish you all a very happy and calm Christmas and huge best wishes for the new year ahead!

See you next month.
