Rocky Horror – 50th Anniversary

That’s right, the Time Warp has been going on for 50 whole years in film format! I just had to go to the cinema to see one of my favourites on the big screen. Now I didn’t go dressed up, even though I do have an outfit. I think only five people in the screening were, probably a shame that and audience participation wasn’t more encouraged. I mean that is one of the big reasons it became such a clut classic.

I don’t think I have actually seen the film on the big screen before, unless I have just forgotten but I am such a geek that I usually remember not only what I have seen at the cinema but who I went to see it with, well how about that!

Let’s Go To The Movies – 50 Favourite Films!

This is something I have been putting together for quite a long time now and I have held off posting it or even attempting to start the blog post in fear that I have forgotten and somehow missed a favourite film from the list. Barring in mind I got up to 72 films and then had to cut it down to the 50. I would like to make clear these are my favourite films, some might have happened to win Oscars as well and some certainly have not at all. The way I have decided on my favourites is the sheer joy they bring and the number of rewatches I have had over the years. While I have listed 1-50 a lot of them can be shifted around and changed with each other. It is going to highlight my love for musicals and for certain actors and actresses! I doubt it will contain many surprises though!

7 Films for Halloween that aren’t really scary!

Want to get into the Halloween spirit but don’t want to actually be terrified or scared when watching films? I am sure this is something a lot of people actually want to do. It doesn’t have to be a truly terrifying film to get into the autumn Halloween spirit.

I have decided to pick out my seven favourites which could do just that, with a halloween feel but not actually going to stop you from getting to sleep. Quite a few of my choices are actually childhood favourites that I really do still love watching now as well. Take a look at the seven chosen films . . .

Rocky Horror Show – Fancy Dress!

As you may already be aware The Rocky Horror Show has been in the North East this week and I went on opening night (in the front row) on Monday and again to a rather rowdy crowd gathering last night. Obviously I doubled up on my Columbia outfit, I did pay quite a bit of money for it so it had to be done!

Musical Moments – Rocky Horror

Tonight I am heading to see the Rocky Horror at the Theatre (yes really again) it’s the first UK tour since 2013 although it doesn’t really feel that long ago. So I thought what better musical moment to have today than an absolute classic scene from the film version . . .

From Stage to Screen Blogathon – Everything I’ve Seen

When I came across this fantastic Blogathon idea by Rachel over at Rachel’s Theatre Reviews and Rosie over at The Rosebud Cinema. It was something that I just had to get involved with, because as well as loving the cinema and films I have a passion for the theatre and seeing shows. This is something which I have now properly been doing for the past 10 years, yes realising that has made me stop and think, so it seems to be a perfect time to put together this blog post. I am going to look at all of the different shows I have seen on the stage and then also seen the film version.
