The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan

Great Batman flick! Suspense is compounded plot twists with dark--and thus unusual--resolutions.

Highly recommended.

A Slight Ache, Harold Pinter

This play was written for the radio fifty years ago, and this production is the first live staging since. Excellent performances by Clare Higgins and Simon Russell Beale.

Highly recommend.

Mon meilleur ami, Patrice Leconte

Entertaining film with few or no surprises.

Recommend with caveats.

Vinegar Tom, Caryl Churchill

Quirky production at Cobden Club, London.

Brandenburg Concertos, J.S. Bach

I'm a sucker for Bach crisply performed by candlelight in old churches, and that's exactly what the London Concertante provided a host of tourists at St Martin-in-the-Fields.

Recommend.

My Winnipeg, Guy Maddin

If you're in the mood for a quirky film, this one's for you.

Recommend with caveats.

Tommy, Pete Townsend

Lively production that appeals to a wide audience.

Recommend.
