Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

In two films time it'll all be over and we can start going to see other things on important occasions such as birthdays.

Having said that, it's not a bad film. In fact, it's very good. Probably best for those who've read the book but non-the-less an easy way to spend a couple of hours.

Event Horizon

Oh my. "Heaven in a box" was how one friend described Gormley's Blind Light exhibit to me.

The phrase was perfect. With the gift of sight replaced by a bright white light, all other senses were heightened. I could hear the voices of my Mum and sister calling out to me. They were close but I couldn't see them at all; I could just sense their presence.

You can be dismissive. "Just water vapour," you might suggest, "nothing more than a cloud." I absolutely disagree. The best exhibition I've seen in years.
