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: Won Shin-yun.
Cast: Lee Byuong-jun, Cha Ye-ryun, Han Suk-kyu
Description: Music professor Young-sun intends to have his wicked way with talented former student In-jeong, forcing himself on her during a drive in the countryside. Thankfully, the young woman escapes his clutches, only to run into a violent gang, who delight in playing mind games with their victims. Unable to call for help, Young-sun and In-jeong battle for survival, praying for escape from their hellish ordeal.
Country: S KOREA. 2006. 115mins
Shin-yun Won’s weird film proves something about Korean society — but I’m not quite sure what. It has a lecherous music professor driving his new Mercedes to Seoul with a pretty young opera singer. She runs away when he stops to get fresh with her and he is then set upon by a group of country bumpkin thugs who already have a boy tied up in a sack.
Sadistic games follow, combining a kind of dark humour with vicious games between tormentors and victims. It all looks like Michael Haneke-lite but, as a comment upon the fact that people tamed by violence tend to promote it when given half a chance, it has its grimly amusing merits
