WAR OF THE RING REVIEW

This game is huge in more ways than one. Firstly the board is 41 by 54 inches so you are going to need a big table. Then there are a mass of plastic figures representing military units, blue for the Free Peoples and Red for the forces of Shadow. There are also figures for the main characters and others, and four decks of character and event cards. There is a 48 page reasonably well written and illustrated rule book. War of the Ring is a complex game and after set up which can take some time, play takes somewhere in the region of three hours.

So is it worth it? In my view yes.

Don't Forget the Honey, Mummy

Second of the Subotsky-Rosenberg Dr Who movies eschews the darkness and it-happened-here subtext of the TV serial in favour of a jolly plastic romp set in a startling vision of 2150 where donkey jackets and flat caps have come back into fashion and everyone only eats Sugar Puffs (although that may just be the product placement).

Actually rather charming on its own terms, and a number of good actors (Cushing, Keir, Philip Madoc) are trying really hard with the material. Just sit back and let it wash over you and it's highly entertaining stuff. Contains more bongo-drumming on the soundtrack than any other alien invasion movie in history. Extra point very nearly added for the awesome food machine sequence with Cribbins and the robo-men.

I was SO looking forward to going to see Judy. And it’s lovely to see Renee Zellweger looking herself after “that” plastic surgery (possibly).

RZ singing was awesome, it was all very glossy and I even shed a tear. So I’m not sure why I left the cinema slightly disappointed in the whole thing.

Basically the story is the end of Judy Garlands life when she was a pill popping soak who couldn’t get a job and the 5 days she performed at The Talk of the Town, London..

I don’t know if it was because it seemed to end quite suddenly or what. However, I did enjoy it enough to want to watch it again, if only for RZ performance which was outstanding.
