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

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!

Description: Advertising executive Will Hayes is in the process of finalizing his divorce. Picking up his young daughter Maya from school one day, Will is taken aback when the precocious child begins asking all sorts of questions about his past; particularly his relationships before he met his soon-to-be ex-wife. In a series of overlapping flashbacks, Will reminisces about his doomed romances with college sweetheart Emily, free spirit April and aspiring journalist Summer, against a backdrop of Bill Clinton's rise to political power.
Country: US. 2007. 111mins
This pleasing if not terribly ambitious rom-com from Working Title has the personable Ryan Reynolds as an advertising executive on the verge of a divorce relating his up-and-down romantic history to his inquisitive daughter (Abigail Breslin).
Most of the film takes place in flashback, as the girl, having just received her first sex-education lesson at school, wants to know precisely what happened to her father's marriage and who her mother actually is.
A college sweetheart (Elizabeth Banks), a free spirit working for Clinton's 1992 campaign (Isla Fisher) and an aspiring journo (Rachel Weisz) are among the girlfriends and there's nice playing all round.
What's more, the Clinton era is summoned up well by writer-director Adam Brooks. If the film might have ended sooner, at least it is just edgy enough to watch without fear of the usual Hollywood cliches.
