OMG the ROM COM genre LOL
This movie could have gone either way and really Sandra Bullock hasn’t made a good film since the NET. Ryan Reynolds however is just a dish so basically anything he is in is a real winner as far as I am concerned!
The movie is pretty predictable guy has a cunt for a boss, Sandra Bullock AKA the Cunt becomes slightly bearable, then they like totally hook up!
So basically Ryan Reynolds less shirt equals fairly good film, however the story is quiet lame but cute in parts, not for anyone looking for a thought provoking night out.
The Proposal rates 2 and a half ROM COM stars.

Musicals Galore in Melboring
Well Melbourne is definitely the place to go if your a musical lover! Showcasing three major musicals at present, Avenue Q, Jersey Boys & Wicked. All three are very different however all very exciting to have in the city which you will apparently love every piece of.
I managed to jam Jersey Boys and Wicked into one weekend, first review of the rank was Jersey Boys, the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. I didn’t really think I would like this one but it really surprised me and some of the talent in this show was simply amazing.
The sets were very simple however effective, the mostly geriatric crowd went sick! The oldies mobbed the boys after the show and some even had their tits signed! Much to their husbands (or were they gigolos) disgust.
Jersey was a fun, light hearted & very entertaining piece of musical theatre which people who don’t usually like this genre would enjoy this. The band were top notch and the show really has a lot of life in it and rates 3 and a half rockin’ stars.
Now to Wicked which I saw around a year ago with the dear Rob Guest (RIP), now replaced by the weakest link Bert Newton, Rob Mills was also out (thank god) and his understudy is simply divine Michael Snell who was simply delicious in Miss Saigon a little while back.
Also out was Amanda Harrison and Anthony Callea since the last time I saw it. The show has developed into a masterpiece and really is one of the best musicals I have ever seen. The show and production is simply flawless the customs, the great score and the songs is just sublime.
Wicked rates a truly wicked 4 stars!

Film Freak - Sunshine Cleaning
No this is no Little Miss Sunshine sequel, but there is some features which are very similar including fucked up kids.
I really enjoyed this film, even though there were really bleak moments and moments where you just wanted to scream at the characters. However this movie showed real emotion and real people, and that's rare in an American film.
The film touched me in all the right places and rates 4 very clean stars.

Film Freak - Every Little Step
I do love a doco and especially one about a major musical, the re-vamp of Broadway's monster hit, "A Chorus Line". This is a good insight into the gruelling audition process and also how hard you have to work to get to the top and basically stay there.
I have never seen the musical but fiends say it's FAB and yes most of these were gays who love the word FAB!
The Movie is shot well and you really relate to the main people in the film which is great, you see their highs and their lows.
Great doco and nice story, 4 stars for these toe tapping all singing all dancing number.

Film Freak - Bruno
Well do believe the hype on this one, it is simply a laugh a sketch with Bruno and his antics!
Americans have never looked my stupid and in my mind backwards to the whole frightening homosexual movement!
Bruno will definitely not be every one's cup of tea (especially the majority of Nana's who sit down with a cup of tea and enjoy a good ear full of Alan Jones), but he definitely gave me a few screams!
Bruno rates 4 hot pants stars

Whore @ Company B
Another downstairs play at the lovely Company B!
A play about Aussie's travelling abroad and selling themselves can be both confronting and extremely enjoyable. Especially when a serial killer is thrown in the equation.
The cast (mainly the two mains) were terrific! The set was extremely effective and the tension the play created was also terrific.
The title might have turned people off but the show was pretty fantastic! Whore rates 3 stars.
