New Moon is nothing if not an international advertisement for the hungry virtues of virginity and young people can’t get enough of it

Kitchen W8 is a bargain for this area, if such sophistication is what you crave
Kitchen W8
Too long and drawn out but very entertaining with excellent special effects
This is a peculiar play and does not work for me. Some of it is very funny but there are real flaws
Alex has a strong powerful voice and was faultless, she is far better now than she was on the X-Factor

Grand Guignol: José Mojica Marins’s Embodiment of Evil
Much demented laughter and lavish screams of terror decorate José Mojica Marins’s outré Brazilian horror.
Oh, and cannibalism, torture by rats and/or spiders, hideous spectres augmented by plenty of blood, plus thumping music. Marins certainly knows the value of what the French would call Grand Guignol.
Not satisfied with just directing, he also plays Coffin Joe, the undertaker villain in the third part of a trilogy. This time “CJ” — a popular character in Brazil — is released from prison after 40 years to search for the woman who can deliver him the son who will continue his dastardly bloodline.
Once out, he meets his elderly hunchback assistant and a posse of oddities who regard him as worthy of total obedience. Most of them are pretty and half naked.
“This,” says José, “is the horror Bible for the whole of Latin America.” I particularly liked the evil laughter and practised it sotto voce all the way home on the Tube.
