I have been a busy bee recently. Films past & present as well as an Orchestra have been appreciated.
Tatsumi was a film following the career of renowned Japanese cartoon artist Yoshihiro Tatsumi
I found this to be very informative regarding the creation of "adult comics" in Japan. Artists found that their material was not deemed suitable for the main audience, i.e children. This new genre was called Manga.
I took another trip to Bridgewater Hall and watched The Halle Orchestera again. As per the other time I have watched this Orchestra it was a wonderful performance. I decided to try the "cheap seats" in the Gallery this time and found them to be the best seats so far. I shall certainly book seats there again.
Lots of films watched recently:
Les Diaboliques - Great film with a fantastic twist
Thes Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - Hilarious old folk
Four Lions - How not to be a terrorist
Disturbia - How to spy on your murderous neighbour
Cell 211 - A guard caught up in a riot
