Reviews

I've been bad and still haven't seen a few of the Rialto films I want to see, instead going to see a couple at Chartwell - I'm sorry, but the lure of free parking is too much!

The Nanny Diaries was nothing spectacular, a good piece of fluff for a lazy day, which increased my desire not to be rich, and my loathing of people who have children and don't want to look after them. What is the point?

Stardust - Now I'm not the biggest fantasy fan, but I like witches and stars so this film looked like it could appeal, and I did enjoy it, but maybe not enough to buy the dvd...... Michelle Pfeiffer is doing some great stuff lately. Loved her in Hairspray and in this one.

And a play review.

Went to see Playbox's Off The Hook last night. By myself. Sniff sniff.

And I have to admit, the most amusing part was the awful acting. Not all of the cast....but most. Lovely apple crumble afterwards though!

Am not a fan of Derek Benfield's writing either. The Ray Cooney farce I was in last year (Out of Order) was just hysterical the entire way through, with natural sounding jokes. Benfield's plays are not that funny and the jokes are there just to be there, if you know what I mean. Nat, you will - he also wrote that last play we went to see.

Now I love my Riverlea Theatre and the members of it, but why oh why is the acting THAT bad?!

Hmm...my reviews seem to get shorter and lazier each time....sorry!
