My movie club is changing

-
 It's been a frustrating year for all of us who want to see films that are different. What l call franchise films are booming and, as l keep saying, if you like them that's okay; see them and enjoy them. Last year l saw  12/13 films all different and all so good. I had similar hopes for this year but l've been left sorely disappointed. Month after month trying to find a film for my club to see. I'm seeing a film this Saturday. It looks good and l have my fingers crossed. Next year thing will change. I'm adding an extra cinema to our roster. This one is a little further away but has more than 1 type of cinema. There is also a possibility of an independent cinema may be reopening. ( I have my fingers and toes crossed). So l will let you know what the film was like next Monday. This is the first film my club has seen in months. I also hope that next year will be better.

It was dark. It was ballet.

This was a real treat.  I went and saw Big Live's production of Dracula. I wasn't sure if this story could be made into a ballet. Earlier in the year l saw Big Live do The Great Gatsby and thought it was brilliant. This show was very different to the first show l saw, but, it was brilliant. The production on these shows is so high, the dancing so good, the costuming stunning. I would give it  5 out of 5 stars. The principal dancers are Ervin Zagidullin and Abbey Hansen. I hope you can read all about them. I'm sorry the photos aren't completely clear. We saw both of them perform on the day we were there and they are both so good. Abbey Hansen is actually an Australian Ballet Dancer. The favourite pieces of music included in this ballet were Clair de Lune and Danse Macabre with Cello. That added even more joy for me. Big Live is an international company; not that old but changing ballet. While l will always want traditional ballet l am also liking these shows that reimagi...
