A night in Dolly-Wood

Have you ever been to a concert where you leave smiling and you just feel so damn good about yourself? Well that was Dolly last night at Sydney's nearly named Crazy John's Arena, ooopppss I mean Allphones Arena.

So Dolly Parton performed for around 2 highly entertaining hours last night to a packed out Allphones Arena.

The show was flawless she came out banging and threw "Jolene" in nice and early to set the stage.

Every moment of this concert was great and every song was well choosen and well placed in the diverse and fun set list. It was all fun times ahead with this set and concert and it was all positive.

I really don't know what I enjoyed more, Dolly's singing or story telling and interaction with the crowd. Her final two up beat numbers and encore were the perfect end to a great evening. As we ramp up to the full on concert season this was a perfect start to the season.

Dolly will be hard to follow and this will definately be a memorable evening, greta stuff Dolly, 5 flawless stars.

Tomorrow Night - Dolly Parton

OMG it's Dolly mania tomorrow night! So stay tuned later in the week for a full review, hopefully she is better than the latest Twilight film :)

Film Freak 2011 - Twilight - Breaking Dawn (Part One)

Firstly I don't like that this is going to be drawn out for the hardcore fans. Fans have told me not that much happens in the book and it could definately be done in one film.

You can really tell now that each film has been directed by diferent directors by the way each film is just so random and different, the first one was a B grade teen romance, with a bit of suspense. The second one had a little more money to splash around and the third nothing really happened by it was clear there was money put into it and the guys behind this love to throw in some big songs.

I find this more interesting and weird than a normal film experience. People laugh when they shouldn't, people work in and out of the movie, people groan and poeple sigh when Taylor Launter removes his shirt to remove his near perfect body.

Okay so how is the film, in one word terrible.

The acting is all over the shop, the plot is ridcilous and all over the shop, the special effects and make up leave a lot to be desired. The Angus and Julia Stone song from the soundtrack misses out on a place in the movie.

Kristen Stewart needs a burger and a punch in the junk, man that woman blows!

For a teen, fantasy romance movie it has the most unlikable couple in the history of romantic cinema.

I was disapointed to say the least at this half cooked part one in the final of this rather strange "saga", I think drama needs to happen before something can be considered a saga.

So my star rating, one lonely saga free star.

Quiet Weekends and Good Times

After such a monster week it was so nice to have a dreamy quiet weekend with a dreamy sleep in till 10:30am on a Saturday and some yummy food all weekend. Why is food so important to me lately? I think I may be pregnant.

So for this will end in an hour or so when I check out the fourth installment of Twilight OMG!

In the meantime to celebrate tonight's ARIA awards here is some top notch Aussie music:

First stop Brisbane for the Last Dinosaurs:



Now off to Adelaide and not for the Hilltop Hoods but for the delightful Funkoars:

90's World - Salt N Pepa Fun Times ahead!

Starting off their career in 1985 Salt N Pepa I can finally say you are off my bucket list!

Cheryl "Salt" (James) - Wray & Sandra "Pepa" Denton really rocked it at their Enmore last night, playing their four major hits ("Shoop", "Whatta Man", "Push It" (they actually did this twice with fans joining them on stage the second time round - good grief) and my favourite "Let's Talk about Sex").

The Enmore was bumping with all the single ladies and old school fans in the house and enjoying a trip down memory lane back to the old 90's with lot's of old school jams and daggy dancing.

Salt N Pepa may not be relevant in 2011 in the recording music scene but in the live environment these ladies rock.

So much fun and in their words "Feel Good Music". Loved it, Salt N Pepa, shook me 4 stars.

Camp, good summer times fun can be found right here ladies!
