A little bit of culture (nothing too highbrow though) ...

'Blue Valentine' ... coming to a cinema near your on Boxing Day

During the week, C. and I ventured into the city twice to experience some of Sydney's cultural scene.  On Wednesday night, we had tickets to the preview showing of 'Blue Valentine' which stars Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams.  The story follows a married couple at two contrasting moments of time in their relationship.  The movie is raw and compelling and well worth seeing when it comes out on Boxing Day.  The free glasses of Prosecco were lovely too.

'Looking Through a Glass Onion' ... coming to an Opera House near you soon

On Thursday night, we headed back into the city and enjoyed a romantic harbour side dinner (with hundreds of Oprah mad tourists) before heading to the Opera House to see John Waters and Stewart D'Arrietta in 'Looking Through a Glass Onion'.  C. is a huge Beatles fan, so I was a little nervous about taking him to the show but it was well worth it.  I've been a fan of John Waters since I was a tot watching him on Play School, so it was wonderful to see him on stage.  The show told the story of John Lennon's life using both spoken words and singing.  Both events probably couldn't be classed as highbrow cultural events, but they both made for fun nights out.
