During the last two pottery classes I’ve had the opportunity to throw pots on a wheel. It is absolutely fantastic. Who knew it would be so easy? I’m pretty gobsmacked, I thought it was going to be trial by fire. … Continue reading

Creepy. This was very tense for much of its length though became less so as we were allowed to see more of the de-evolved humans. Less is usually better than more. There’s a little to much of Will Smith on … Continue reading

Quirky. While not high art, I laughed and cried numerous times during this movie, so it gets a tick in the win column from me. It’s a love story told backwards demonstrating a young woman discovering her own life as … Continue reading

Last night we joined a full house at the Mercury Theatre in Colchester for the riotous fun that is British panto. Silliness abounded. Awful jokes were the order of the day as we were booing the evil fairy, singing along, … Continue reading

As the school term ended I had the good fortune of seeing the young’un performing in the school Christmas concert. (Phi, unluckily, was galavanting around Dublin, or at least making his way home from galavanting, and missed out.) As they … Continue reading

Epic. Ridley Scott has to be one of my all time favourite film makers. It is so wonderful to watch a film where you know thought has been given to every element of the experience. Not everything will always work … Continue reading

Better late than never, eh? This production was fantastic. The all female cast was impressive and made a very interesting juxtaposition with the all male casting of Coriolanus. Interestingly, if anything, what I discovered was that the first third of … Continue reading

Stupidity, apparently, is one human trait we haven’t yet evolved out of. Quite frankly how any one thinks this will solve a damn thing is beyond me. Read more from the Beeb. Sadly, this did not come as a surprise. … Continue reading

Beautiful. A much better film than the critics seem to think IMHO. Visually interesting and beautiful to watch, it moved with enough pace to keep your interest and didn’t botch the book. Yes, it’s not as good as the book … Continue reading
