Review: Chaplin
Blu-ray & DVD: Chaplin (1992) How on earth do you fit Charlie Chaplin’s life into a two hour film? Well, you can’t.

Review: A Chorus Line
DVD: A Chorus Line (1985) I LOVE Musicals, oh hang on, a bit TOO broad. I love most musicals. I’m thinking On the Town, West Side Story, yes, even La La Land. And you know what I love MORE than musicals? People dancing. No I’m not talking ‘Strictly‘ dancing with the stars here, no proper […]
