Posted: 4/15/14 at 2:59pmJust caught this stunning film at the Paris. It features some of Colin Firth's best acting work to date, surpassing even "The King's Speech". It is very powerful and extremely moving. I can't recommend it enough. BRING TISSUES. You'll need them.

Posted: 4/15/14 at 5:43pmIt really was an amazing story, the strange thing is they never released it in time for any of the awards last year, it opened in Australia back in December.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

It didn't get great reviews in the UK either but I've heard nothing but raves from people who have seen it.
A lot of people also mention both Firth and Jeremy Irvine as giving great performances.
Looking forward to catching it when it opens here.
