It feels like a lot has happened in the two weeks since I watched this movie. But the warm fuzzy feeling of The World’s Fastest Indian still lingers. I am not too sure what made this movie leave such a warm lasting presence on me, maybe when I watched it, I just felt like a [...]

Excellent, excellent, excellent. I have very little experience with theatre, so am not that qualified to give this very short review. But here is what I have to say about Frost/Nixon presently showing at London’s West End’s Gielgud Theatre. I enjoyed the history, I enjoyed the story line, I enjoyed the acting and I enjoyed [...]

Cafe number 10. I loved this place; it was dark, dingy, smoky and generally pure dead mingin’. But I loved the place. It has since fallen victim to the tourist industry and the rapid increase of rent in the Vilnius Old Town. I never felt safe in this place, the coffee sucked, the beer was [...]

Q. Who would be a big enough friutloop to start with café no.11 out of 10? A. Meee , pick me, me, me. Though this café is not in my top 10 and probably not really in my top 11 either is still deserves a mention. We are talking about Premjera. Premjera is a road [...]

Well a movie to review. But this review will be a short one. Swimming Upstream was a wonderful “coming of age” Australian Movie, based in the 1950’s with good acting, a good story and it addressed good social issues. It is actually a true story based on the life of Tony Fingleton. I had never [...]

19…live by Julia Jazz Trio Oh how does she do it? Who do what? Who being Julija Jačėnaitė and what being, well taking her voice from those husky lows to those perky up-tempo highs. If you are a lover of “jazz vocalists” then this is a must for your collection. This woman is a diva [...]

Note for a Child/ Impossibly Beautiful
October 9th, 2006 No Comments
Oh so so moody, so moody, wonderfully moody. Lyrics have managed to be non mainstream, factual, biblical and actually interesting and worth listening to. This is such a refreshing change from the average rhyming predictable chucking together of words that many of today’s songs suffer from. It seems a little trite to say this but [...]

“YOU HAVE TO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE”
October 3rd, 2005 No Comments
Q: What do you get when you cross a murder, a musical, death row and Denmark? A: Dancer in the Dark an excellent movie, but that kind of excellent movie that you just don’t need to watch. I do not know if what made this movie so good was Bjork’s amazing acting or her ice [...]
