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

Setting the scene: A night out in New York was Moby's inspiration for his latest music
Playing to a room of guest-listed fans at Indig02, Moby proved his worth. In a gig set up as the launch party for his recently released album Last Night, inspired by a night out in his New York neighbourhood (the Lower East Side), he sampled his latest tracks alongside the better-known ones.
The musician, who plays the drums, keyboard, guitar and bass, is comfortable in front of decks; using them as an outlet for his creativity. The experimental blend of sound and rhythm is exciting and an urge to move with the music is irresistible. This was not a stand-still occasion.
Transitions between records were mastered with fluency and blended with apparent ease. For the average listener it could be hard to decipher between the change-over but the dedicated crowd at this venue knew exactly what to expect. As the opening beats of new records kicked in they were unable to contain their enthusiasm.
The sight of a girl in her twenties draped over railings in awe of her idol emphasised how well-respected Moby is in his field. But in amongst such commotion he remains a calm and focused presence. Music is his expression.
The quirky setting of retro TVs, laser lights and minimalist-style sofas was apt. The ambience was complimented by the music and it wasn't too difficult to draw comparisons between this and a Lower East Side club. Tracks like I Love To Move In Here and Ooh Yeah set the mood. For one night, Moby brought New York to London.
