Get down and Dirty Dancing

[Eugene Yiga] The Dirty Dancing stage adaptation has been a hit ever since it opened in Australia in late 2004. It broke records in Germany and the UK for having the highest advance ticket sales in history and was sold out for six months in London before the show even began.

Asses and arses all mixed up with some love juice in a sylvan setting

[John Cooper] A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of Shakespeare's best-known and loved comedies. Given current events is it fair to call a play set in Athens (actually mainly in a nearby forest) a "riot"? It takes a while to get going perhaps, but soon enough there is riotous behaviour indeed in the woods. 30 Jan 2013 09:41

The year that was: the hard men

[Charles Siboto] Now that we're reaching the end of January my brain is finally accepting that it's a new year and I don't put down 2012 at the end of everything I have to date anymore. This, of course, means that it's as good a time as any to look back at the year that was and smile at how many great movies were released (it truly was a great 2012 at the movies) and to look forward to what 2013's going to look like in terms of cinema. 28 Jan 2013 09:58

Wreck it Ralph

[Daniel Dercksen] Imagine living in a video game in one of many video arcades where fun and adventure rules and everything is possible. It's just a pity that the sum total of your existence is scrupulously proscribed by the Big Brother of cyberspace and manipulated by the contending fingers of heated rivals and over-eager video game junkies. Yes, being the iconic moral fibre of video games is hard work, even if you are the villain or anti-hero. 25 Jan 2013 11:20
