Life throws curve balls when we least expect them – and we never know how we’ll react to them. We like to think we do, when we’re presented with hypothetical situations, but in reality, we don’t know until we take the catch. Faithful by Alice Hoffman explores the ‘what if’ and ‘what now’ for a young…
Another week, another reboot of a defunct film franchise. This time it is The Transporter series, which was first created by Luc Besson in 2002.
