  • Pyjama Party: Dance Edition at Prince Charles Cinema

    Because we don’t like you to try new things without our express permission, we took it upon ourselves to give the Pyjama Party: Dance Edition at the cushy Prince Charles Cinema a whirl – six films, ten hours, millions of jazz hands.

More addictive than crack and less than half as nutritious, Burlesque is a whole new filthy world of awesome.

  • Step Up 3D

    Step Up 3D has lots of very talented dancers in it, which is all well and good. Unfortunately, not a single one of them could act their way out of a damp paper bag. Which is not so good. This film will definitely be a waste of your time, unless you’re 14 years old and think that a plot is somewhere to grow vegetables.
