Anyone seen Cats, the film. We saw the stage show when it began years ago and I must admit to leaving the theatre confused as to whether there was any story, although the music was great (or as great as ALW gets). Fast forward a lot of years and the film (do they still use film or should I be saying movie?) version has been panned by the critics, so when my wife expressed a desire to see it I was sceptical. So we went yesterday and I have to say it wasn't half bad. The second half that is. The first half was the familiar drone of ALW background dirge which sent me to sleep, but the second half perked up and combined with quite clever CGI was, dare I say it, quite enjoyable. Frankly I stopped thinking about cats and viewed the cast as some sort of alien species and then I got the storyline. Overall, I think I am glad I went even though these days one has to endure 30 minutes of Pearl & Dean rubbish before you get to the main feature. Still thinking about 1917 though.
