More of wot I have seen…



Blue Jasmine a Woody Allen film

Woody Allen films have a habit of being ‘quirky’ and this was no exception. The acting was very entertaining and disturbingly believable but you are left hanging at the end in what feels like an uncomfortable conclusion. It is not exactly unsatisfying as it is obviously intentional, but it does make you think. Not really a feel good flick that is for sure.




This was a little bit of gentle unpretentious theatre full of set pieces, slapstick and groan inducing gags. But because it was never pretending to be anything else it could be taken for what it was, a bit of old fashioned comic nonsense. There is a series of the Ha Ha productions and this one was loosly based on the Hound of the Baskervilles with squeaky voiced comedian Joe Pasquale in the lead role as Sherlock Holmes.
