Review: Avenue Q

Avenue Q

I’d been wanting to see Avenue Q for years and missed them the last time they were in Bath, and I have to say that it was well worth the wait.

I knew what to expect only in the broadest of terms i.e. that it was a musical and somewhat a parody of Sesame Street, but it exceeded my expectations as it was an intelligent and very funny show with an excellent storyline.

Movie Reviews: 1985, 1986 and 1987

Indulged in a bit of 80s nostalgia today when I happened to catch each of these movies on TV on different channels. Strange coincidence they were screened in the same order as they came out in cinemas.

Review: Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

This reboot of The Planet of the Apes proved to be an interesting and intelligent movie about the ethics of animal research as well as an exciting SF thriller.

I think the work done to bring the apes to the screen both the CGI and the underlying performances of the actors was fantastic, very believable as apes and excellent in the way that the increased intelligence was implied.
