All's Well That Ends Well
I saw this performance on 29 September at the National Theatre Olivier.
This is the second time I have seen this production. What more is there to say, except I want to see it yet again.

Julie and Julia
I saw this preview on 24th September 2009 at the Sony Centre in Soho.
I suppose there was some point to this but I didn't see it.
Julie, a young, bored American wife who worked in a call centre sets herself a project of cooking every dish in a cookery book. The cookery book was written by an earlier bored American, the wife of a sort of diplomat living in France. This latter day pointless activity takes over Julie's life.
Julie (Amy Adms) was tedious and irritating, Julia (Meryl Streep) was vaguely amusing although Paul (Stanley Tucci) her diplomat husband was excellent. There were references to the McCarthy persecutions and their effects on Paul but these were barely explored and the limit of the film's meaningful content.

It used to be mad scientists who wanted to rule the world. Never trust a clever geek.

To give an accurate description of what has never occurred is not merely the proper occupation of the historian, but the inalienable privilege of any man of parts and culture.

District 9
I saw this film on 4th September
at Stratford Picture House
It starts as an apparent metaphor on apartheid, turns into a commentary on humanity, then standard sci-fi techno-babble story and eventually morphs into a Terminator lookalike. Disappointing.
