Dragons Will Dance in Scotland!

Singapore represented at Edinburgh Fringe Festival!

I saw DANCING WITH DRAGONS earlier this year. It's a wonderful children's show and great opportunity to expose the world to Asias rich folklore! This is the company I've had a chance to perform with before and Joni of my "5stars" group of Christian artists is in the cast (for the Asian Children's Festival last year she was in both DRAGONS and the one woman show SINCERELY ANNE FRANK).

My friends at itheatre are raising $50,000 cash to get there! Just this week the National Arts Council agreed to $10,000, and a few individuals gave between $50 and $1000. If you have some disposable income and want to support a children's show representing Asian culture through folk tales, send $ to:

SPIDERMAN II

Of course my little boys loved the fight scenes. I was AMAZED how real the effects were.

(You mean that some of it was FAKE???)

Jim and I thought this one was a bit pedantic and that the plot for the first one had more interesting sub-plots and character development (kind of like THE MATRIX ...nothing like the newness of the first one). It reminded me of how I felt after Star Wars Episode 2: way too much close-ups of good looking leads feeling hurt, misunderstood, confused, or just plain brooding. We got tired of looking at Kirsten D and Tobey so much - and they are attractive people, but ENOUGH already!

I guess I'd been set up for a let down after reading such raving reviews. Even the online reviews from focus on the family were glowing, and for a PG-13 that saying something!

Nevermind, it is a comic book genre, and there were aspects that were marvelous at capturing that feel. As we left the theatre, Cameron looks up to me and says, "Promise me mom that we can get the DVD to THAT one! It was awesome!"
