I don’t know a single person who watched Trolls. I haven’t actually seen it myself despite all the bright colours and cute little characters (that usually reels me in), but although I have a total lack of interest in the movie itself, the soundtrack features an absolutely bangin’ tune. I gotta say, ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling’ […]

Along with the usual movies, I always take the time to watch some of my favourite Christmas TV specials.
