Default Update on Shen Yun

Update on Shen Yun. I had a reply this morning from a representative of the Entertainment Group. She had seen the article on Shen Yun playing in Orlando and had actually looked into bringing a movie of the group to the small Arts theater. Unfortunately, it appears to be impossible. It appears that Shen Yun is 100% owned and operated by the Chinese Government and it is never filmed or released on a DVD, however, I have seen a Shen Yun DVD for sale on Amazon, but it is an old one.

She spoke to me at length about trying to bring more attention to the little theater at The Rialto, she even has a speaker coming sometime in March/April time frame to speak on the great masters art films they show.

So ............. it is well worth contacting people in TV because they do call you back.

Good that someone in the Villages got back to you.

Twelve Angry Men (1957)

12 Angry Men (Twelve Angry Men) (1957) - Rotten Tomatoes

Really good movie, with a cast of many who either were or were soon to be movie fixtures. I really enjoyed it just for the cast alone. I can see why the movie is given classic status and got rave reviews.

The only downside is that...no matter how good the cast and how sharp the dialogue...it was still just a dozen men in a single room for an hour-and-a-half. Yes, I did like the move, but I don't think I could give a 9 or a 10 to a movie of this type just due to that. I simply grew tired of the unending exchanges, bantering, and arguing.

I do recommend the movie as long as you know what you're getting into.

PB Rating: 7.5/10
