Prometheus

I am a huge Ridley Scott fan, but was disappointed. Immediately irritated by anti-Darwinian conceit. Movie looks great but was ultimately disappointing for me - it felt like a 5 hour movie squashed into 2 hours. I suppose that means I will buy the Director’s Cut.
Out of Focus

I have never been to the Saatchi Gallery before (blush). It is a wonderful space, and free entry. The “Out of Focus” exhibition is amazing and inspiring as is the “Google Photography Competition” Too much too take in with one visit, but I will return before the exhibition closes.
A Long Day's Journey Into Night

I knew nothing about this play (other than being familiar with the title) until we went to see it. A highly recommended very depressing intelligent drama. The family is extremely well written and each of them expresses themselves so clearly and so intelligently. They are all very damaged. Not entertaining, but enlightening, and searingly uncompromising. The father of the family (James Tyrone) played by David Suchet with great insight. Not completely sold out, so if you are interested - go see it!
