Interstellar

Christopher Nolan has crafted a superb piece of genuine sci-fi with none of the gimmicks or shallow pretense that can be found in many Hollywood offerings.
First and foremost this is a story about people and an exploration of what drives them. Secondly it is film of discovery and the lengths humanity will go to.
There are many parallels with films like Inception or 2001 but none of them detract from the utterly convincing performances and first rate visuals that he has woven together.
PS This film will not be to everyone's liking. I feel for those who don't get it. It is their loss.

Tangentleman

Ross Noble gave a great performance at WAC. Plenty of improv with a reasonable helping of prepared material including a story about how a SWAT team surrounded his Zombie Wagon in the belief it contained an armoury (which later turned out to be some Wellie Boots)
