Tchaikovsky Nutcracker Suite - Sinfonia Rotterdam/ Conrad van Alphen
I'm missing ballet and this is from one of my favourites; The Nutcracker I think Tchaikovsky was a musical genius.
A Haunting in Venice
Given a preference l much prefer seeing films in a cinema. There is something special about seeing them on a big screen.
Last week l saw A Haunting in Venice. Having said how much l like seeing films in the cinema l don't actually see many films these days. I like quirky, interesting films and am not a fan of the franchise films, but, if you are, good luck to you and l hope you enjoy them.
A Haunting in Venice is based, loosely, on an Agatha Christie novel called Hallowe'en Party. The setting has been changed from the book and l must say the scenery shot in Venice was stunning. I've only been to Venice once and it was grey, wet and miserable when we were there.
I'm not completely sold on Kenneth Branagh as Poirot. He also directs the film. It is a clever story and although the film has changed so much of it, it is still a good story told. The cast perform well together and it was worth seeing.
