It’s been such a long time since I’ve read critics slating a film this badly right after its release. Rotten Tomatoes critics rating is 15% and I tend to agree with them on this occasion, all pretty damning although the audience reviews are on 72%. I’m quite surprised about the poor rating because it has…
“How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”, “Harry Met Sally”, “Sleepless in Seattle’ and “10 Things that I Hate About You” to name a few, are some of the best and iconic romantic movies that are timeless. What do you think that all these films have in common? These films were my childhood and…
Shakespeare is one of the best playwrights and poets in history. My favourite play is Much ado About Nothing which is on at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, so I was really looking forward to seeing how they could turn it into something different with a minimalistic set.

We also discussed Charlie’s formative years growing up in the home of Shakespeare, Stratford-upon-Avon and how this led to his career debut, performing on…
“Are we the sum of our worst actions”, is the moral question that this riveting and thought-provoking documentary series examines. Series 4 follows three crimes where the events and disturbing details are very different, except for the “Sword of Damocles” like threat of the death sentence hanging in the air like a dark ominous cloud….
“LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WHAT WE DIDN’T DO, ITS ABOUT WHAT WE DID DO” When getting the tickets for this production I was really intrigued. First, because I have never seen a one man show and second because of the plot and its promise of being a poignant original comedy. To tell you the truth…
“I have been playing a role my whole life” one of the inmates says when musing on his participation in the prison theatrical society.
