Hi Friends. Today I'll be reviewing MATILDA THE MUSCAL, AFTER THE BALL, &
BURYING THE EX.







                                                           MATILDA THE MUSICAL

                Matilda The Musical was freaking awesome. The critics were right about this amazing
                musical. The shows composer TIM MINCHIN did a great job with the songs. There
               are five songs that stand out. NAUGHTY Matilda's anthem. LOUD, WHEN I GROW
              UP, THE SMELL OF REBELLION & the best one REVOLTING CHILDREN.
             At the performance I saw Matilda was played by GABBY GUTIERREZ. GABBY
             made history by being the first filipino to play the role of Matilda. She did an awesome
           job doing an english accent.  During the song LOUD Mrs. Wormwood tells Miss Honey
          how she gets ready for the annual dance competition she enters every year. During the
         song WHEN I GROW UP the children actually swing on swings over the orchestra pit,
      The children sing about what they will do when they get older. THE SMELL OF
       REBELLION has the evil woman MISS. TRUNCHBULL gives the children an extreme
     workout. And as for the best one REVOLTING CHILDREN the kids celebrate the
 departure of MISS. TRUNCHBULL. The opening of the second act was hilarious.
Matilda's father Mr. Wormwood comes out to  warn the adults in the audience to be
careful not to let their children read books and to think for themselves. At the curtain
call the actors take their bows riding scooters. All in all I highly recomend MATILDA
THE MUSICAL. You'll laugh & cry but you'll have a hell of a good time. TIME magazine
was right. MATILDA was the best show since THE LION KING!





                                                          AFTER THE BALL

        After The Ball is a different take on the CINDERRELLA story. Portia Doubleday
       (Who played Chris Hargensen in the CARRIE remake)  headlines a cast that
     Chris Noth (SEX & THE CITY), Colin Mochrie( WHOSE LINE IS IT
    ANYWAY), & LAUREN HOLLY( PICKET FENCES, MOTIVE(. Portia plays
   Kate who wants to work at her father's (Noth) fashion design house but her father's
 new wife & daughters try to push her out. Kate however thinks her father's wife is up
 to something so she disguises herself as a man to take her down. While she's in
 disguise Kate starts to fall in love with a co-worker. Portia has come a long way since
 CARRIE, I recomend  AFTER THE BALL if only for Portia's performance. Also for
Colin Mochrie. He plays a pretty good part in it.










                                                      BURYING THE EX


                      JOE SANTE is back and better than ever. Burying The Ex
                      was scary & funny at the same time. ANTON YELCHIN
                    pkays Max. He has an overbearing girlfriend who dictactes
                    what he can and cannot do. One day while at Max's job he
                   & EVELYN( ASHLEY GREENE) make a wish in fronf
                 evil idol to be together forever. Big mistake. Because no sooner
                 does Evelyn gets hit by a bus and dies. But as soon as Max falls
                 in love with ice cream shop owner (ALEXANDRA DADDARIO)
                 Evelyn reuturns from the grave. As with hie earlier films JOE DANTE
               uses some of his acting regulars. The great DICK MILLER plays a
               desk cop while Joe's fomer dierector of photogrphy the great JOHN
               plays a grumpy customer. Max works in a horror movie memoribillia
            store. So if you want to laugh and sceam a la the great horror comedy
           CREEPSHOW I recommend BURYING THE EX I really loved it.
