A plane ride of movies: the recommended , the rent first and the avoids.. What makes a movie stand out? Make millions and entice viewers to come back for a second show, to talk about it for days after? Surely it's not merely CGI. Neither is it big names, or large production value action sequences. If you look at the best shows, there's always a good plot, then the excellent chemistry between the actors and that mix of action, romance and comedy that gives a little bit of something for everyone.

An offer from SIA for cheap tickets to UK and a business conference allowed me to grab a week off and visit the land of pies, beans and more.  Given my limited time, I've narrowed it down to a couple of spots and I'll be sharing them as we go along  🙂   Let's get to A... Which stands for AMG A class! So with B roads and many miles to cover, I was lucky and scored an upgrade from a Ford Focus to a Mercedes AMG A class. A brand new one with almost nothing on the odometer  150 quid a day for a spin in a brand new car? Not bad at all  First thing to note, this versio...
