October 18 - From Simon.
I recently saw the film: Mamma Mia and I just thought it was great! OK the story is not the most interesting in the world, but the actors are superb and so different. Have you ever heard Pierce Bronson singing? Well, as far as his singing voice is concerned you haven't missed much but Colin Firth has a really good voice and Meryl Streep... who would have thought that she was born in 1949! If you are a fan of ABBA the song are just up your street! It is the sort of film where you want to get up in the cinema and dance, and I did!

Why don't you add something about a film you have recently seen?

This is the presentation schedule for the semester. Some information on **evaluation.**
