Movie - Having discovered iTubes rentals .....

Man on a Ledge was a really good watch.  Ok it lacks credulity at some points, but as a fun action thriller it works really well.



The same cannot be said for Justice.  It is ok.  Think I have seen this before or maybe it is a remake. The idea of vigilantes going bad is not new. Nick plays himself very well, bit wooden.


Transit is another action movie with a few twists and turns.  Different.  Taut.  Yes, it is a good watch and I would put on my recommended list if I had one!



Last but by no means least is Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol. Absolutely fantastic escapist thriller movie - A MUST watch if you ask me.  He is not in it but he has an actor who looks like him - so much so it is sort of spooky.

And the show did go on ....

Monday afternoon nice was treated to a monsoon.  It lasted an hour during which time huge quantities of water fell to earth.  A lot of it came through the roof of Theatre Athena!  The place was inundated with water so Monday's showing of Deathtrap was cancelled. With superhuman resolve they got the place into condition bang on time for the show Tuesday evening.  What a feat!

Deathtrap is the latest production of the fledgling South of France English Theatre Company. They are so lucky to have professionals like David East, the star, working with the company.
