Looking for a decent night out with my friend Paul, we were drawn to my friend Jim Bishop's gig with lounge supremos Luxury Condo at this multi-faceted venue. ++MORE++

Get Smart

Film Review : Get Smart
Well it's an interesting time to be parodying international terrorism and the security services, but if it has to be done then this effort certainly hits the spot. ++MORE++

Gary Glitter back in the UK, Team GB, Mangal II and Spanair flight crash

PARSLEY'S COMMLOCK
Home News : Gary Glitter back in the UK
I find myself breathing a sigh. I wonder if the rabid lynch mob that proclaim themselves to be protectors of our morality (as they kill a paediatrician) will think that Alvin Stardust is fair game. Certainly major record stores seem to have re-written the history of seventies rock so that Gary Glitter doesn’t appear in it any more. ++MORE++

Pygmalion, and The Dark Knight

PARSLEY'S COMMLOCK

Theatre Review : Pygmalion, The Old Vic
George Bernard Shaw had ginger hair, and like myself he did his writing when he was on the move. Personally I find it ensures that I don't get annoyed when I'm stuck waiting somewhere during a long journey. For him it meant an opportunity to write a play reflecting on how our social status is linked to our use of language. ++MORE++

Mamma Mia!

PARSLEY'S COMMLOCK

Film Review : Mamma Mia!
Mamma Mia! was one of the first stage musicals linking together the songs of one artist (Abba in this case). It has become a franchise, with other versions appearing around Europe, and has led to a whole series of other shows of its kind (We Will Rock You etc.). Now it has taken a further leap forward with a film version of the musical. ++MORE++

The Happening, priority boarding on budget airlines, and Kryptonite padlocks

PARSLEY'S COMMLOCK
Film Review : The Happening
If you ever go out to find a restaurant with a crowd of people I recommend you go in the first restaurant you come to, as otherwise you will walk around town all night, with one person or another rejecting each restaurant for some reason or another. Similarly, every once in a while I watch a film that's someone else's choice. It's pretty rare, but sometimes it brings a good surprise, sometimes not. ++MORE++

Master and Commander, Question Time and Euro 2008

PARSLEY'S COMMLOCK
Film Review: Master and Commander: The Far Side Of The World
Caught up with this on a satellite re-run. It stars Russell Crowe as Captain 'Lucky' Jack Aubrey. I remembered it getting rave reviews so I was interested to see whether it had deserved them. ++MORE++
