An awesome and ridiculous film that leaves you thrilled beyond the point of your natural endurance

Theatre
The show has suddenly become quite wonderful, and the galvanising factor is the terrific stage debut of Melanie C
Blood Brothers
Music
The British pop music industry may be eating itself but if Muse are the pick of what it can offer the world in 2010 then British music is in rude health indeed
Muse
I was smitten by both Gilberts enormous luxuriant moustache and the intelligence and nuance of this highly entertaining play
I totally recommend Babbo to anyone who is looking for really good and traditional Italian food
Always been a fan but never seen them live. I was ecstatic to be part of this epic event. WOW!

Dir: John Hay.
Cast: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jimi Mistry, Dougray Scott
Description: Alice Holbrook is happily married to Sam, the man of her dreams. After a boozy night with her sister, Alice jokingly sends her husband an anonymous Valentine's card to see what his reaction might be. When Sam hides the card from his wife, she begins to suspect that their marriage might not be as perfect as she first thought, setting in motion a chain of events, which gradually wrenches the relationship apart.
Country: UK. 2006. 94mins
This buttock-clenchingly awful, Bristol-based romantic comedy struggled to find financing, almost collapsed in pre-production and has waited since 2004 for a release. Someone should have taken it out and shot it.
Jennifer Love Hewitt, Dougray Scott and Jimi Mistry, all comprehensively miscast, fight an already-lost battle with one of the worst scripts ever written, about a wife who tries to re-seduce her faithless husband before falling for his best friend.
If things weren't bad enough, it's also got Emma Noble and Karl Howman in it.
Details are correct at the time of publication - please check with venue before booking.
I think Nick Curtis has gone a bit soft on this sorry excuse for a rom-com. During the scene when a lovelorn Dougray Scott kicked his heels and gazed into the river from the Clifton Suspension Bridge, several uncharitabe cinema-goers at my screening shouted "jump". It's just a shame he couldn't have taken Karl Howman with him.
