Three is the new couple
Posted on 2:17am Sunday 19th July 2009
Modern day issues such as sexuality, race and gender have found their niche in todays cinema. Material with strong subjects, make you leave the cinema with a shock value, making you think whether it was the right night for a film of a heavy baggage. Luckliy for us, "C-Krets" touches on all the dark issues, but displays it in such a funny way, that you will want to return to get a second shot

NO NEED TO SIT SEPARATE
Posted on 12:11am Wednesday 10th December 2008
Terrence Rattigan's hit play of 1955, is given a new light in the west end's latest revival "Separate Tables". Though the subject in the 1950s caused a great stir, forcing Rattigan to rewrite certain portions of the play, the subject today is one that would not stir up emotion to the level that it had caused in the 1950s, if any emotion at all The play centres around a group of lonely guests that are residing at the Beauregard Hotel in Bournemouth. In the 50s it was usual for guests to live in hotels and also to dine by themselves, hence the term "Separate Tables". The hotel atmosphere is turned over, once a pompous Mrs Railton Bell discovers that Major Pollock, is hiding a terrible secret, and wants to protect her frail daughter, Sybil, who in fact is in love with the Major, despite the age differences. On the other end of the hotel, John Malcom, a alcoholic and failed writer is attempting to keep his engagement to the hotel owner -Pat Cooper, a secret, that is until his ex-wife turns up, to claim him back In what would be a difficult play to comprehend and follow, for this time period, Separate Tables manages to pull off with conviction, that due to the emotions the play contains The lead cast do an excellent job of displaying the natural human behaviour, that could be expected of anyone in the predicaments, these characters face.

Flava's; food; cocktail;
Posted on 9:18pm Monday 10th November 2008
In a frantic search of a place that would show the Manchester games, my boyfriend and I wandered into the newly refurbished Flava's. The shisha garden seemed quite cozy and warm, on the right hand side of the door, and the new terrace on the left. We ventured in to ask one of the 5 gorgeous girls smiling behind the bar, which soccer games they were showing. The manager came to the rescue with the correct answer, and the correct smile: "the one You want". We settled for the booth closest to the TV and to the toilets, quite happy in our new found living room away from home.

Wall-E, a review
Posted on 5:20pm Monday 22nd September 2008
The last born of the union between Disney and Pixar is one of the small goggle-eyed robots, created to clean Earth out while humans (North Americans) have gone on a long term waste-free space cruise. But in 700 years, Mankind has forgotten about their home planet, and turned to artificial intelligence to master daily life: sleeping, autotransporting and feeding themselves in armchairs.
