Cyrano

 Firstly l didn't know that the film was a musical. I love a musical.

Did l love this film; no but l did like it.

The music and dancing were good and the costumes were stunning. Peter Dinklage and Haley Bennett are good as the leads as are the supporting cast. I didn't recognise Ben Mendelsohn.

The storyline did drag in places and the battle scene didn't look realistic but it did show pathos with the men going off to die.

So, overall, a good film. 

3.5 stars

We have a release date for the next Robert Galbraith books. I don't want to wait until September,  but, I'm going to have to.  Do you like these books? Have any of you seen the Strike series?. And, am l going to wait even longer because I'm here in Australia?  I know we wait longer for films? Can someone explain why to me? Leave me a comment.

The heat has returned and so have l to where l stay in between jobs. We're having a hot, humid summer that never seems to stop.  Good weather for staying inside and writing poetry. Today l am sharing the names of some poetry prizes around the world.  All for emerging and new poets. Perhaps one of them is you. I hope so. I want poetry to thrive and survive.  Most Wednesdays l read a poem and, if you would like me to read yours contact me at emilycat176@gmail.com  and we can start a conversation about me reading it out.
