With a single dessert and just two glasses of wine our bill was kept in check - but the effort of doing so was not much fun

This is a film with beautiful performances and a visual style that urges you towards reflection

Although the first half of Kwei-Armah’s production is pacy, funny and intelligent, the energy level then drops off

I loved this film from start to finish. Take the girlfriend, tell your mum - I'd see it again tomorrow and will buy the dvd.
I saw this last night and can't remember the last time I was so moved in the theatre.
I have been to many of London's so-called best Japanese restaurants and none have been as good as the food that I've had at Aqua Kyoto

Hats off to him: Willie Nelson puts on a fine show
Stetsons off to Willie, if you please. The grand old man of C&W has just turned 75 and he doesn’t look a day older than when he first became world-weary. Willie takes the stage dressed in black and wearing a hat. This would feel like some kind of apostacy, were it not for the fact that the more fervent elements of the audience are similarly betopped, not to mention half of his band.
You know what you’re going to get with Willie, and he doesn’t disappoint. This is a greatest hits set — his and others — and the Lone Star flag at the back of the stage lets us know that we are all Texans for the evening. He engagingly trundles through such classics as Crazy, Whatever Gets You Through The Night, Me & Bobby McGee and Always On My Mind.
While it would take a churl to be unmoved by these, what is remarkable is the old-timers proficiency on an amplified acoustic guitar. If Clapton is God, Nelson is Zeus. Also, there is that voice: equal parts spliff, magic mushroom and tax problems.
The backing band is immaculate, the stars being a drummer who kicks up a storm on a snare drum with two brushes, and a harmonica man who sounds like he is playing in the bar next door (and all the better for it). Finally, Willie whips off his hat to reveal the trademark bandana.
As the concert enters its climactic moments, the bandana goes, too. For Willie, this tantamount to a striptease. Hats off.

A fantastic show for all true Willie Fans, and also for those who go in support of the fans (such as my husband!)
Willie gets better and better. We don't see enough of him in England.
