The Tempest featuring Helen Mirren is out this week.

Weeks and weeks and weeks ago, lovely Cari who is possibly the sweetest girl in the world (Audition Situation aside) coaxed last summer's Tempest faithfuls into an outing to view this much heralded masterpiece.

What we hadn't counted on was the fact that the film would be so bad / the cinemas would be so disinterested in it that the only showing we could find in the whole of Edinburgh last night took place at 5pm.

So from our cast of approximately sixteen, a prize total of two (one retired, one flexi-time employee) watched Helen wield her magic staff.

I expect if you watch attentively the blog of Mr BS Neill, you shall find out more about at least what he thinks.
