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!

Dancing days: Miki Nakatani plays a schoolteacher who falls from grace
Tetsuya Nakashima, who made the excellent Kamikaze Girls (now showing), tells the tale of Shou (Eita), a feckless young man who finds the body of a female tramp in a park and embarks on a journey to investigate her life.
The old woman turns out to have been a teacher called Matsuko, who fell from grace into prostitution. Miki Nakatani is good as Matsuko as Nakashima blazes retrospectively through the decades from the Fifties to the Eighties with stunning visuals and strange musical set pieces. Somehow it all makes sense, even if a lesser director might well have botched it.
