Review: From Beyond Iron Mountain
Directed by: Bob Moyler
I was really excited to be going to see a bit of Sci-fi theatre so when 35 of us crammed into a room suitable for 30, the atmosphere was heady to say the least. As the plastic blow up globe suspended by thick string and a bamboo pole appeared I knew I was going to enjoy it, when the cheap torch flicked on and shone across the room I was biting my knuckles with excitement.
The story was about a Doctor who is directed to buy a weather machine from a Professor to stop the awful weather conditions on an earth like planet. The action mostly takes place in the Professors laboratory, the Doctor is greeted by an ApeMan creature and inept Robot and lead to the professor. The only trouble is the weather machine is it doesn’t work, and the Prof’s rather attractive female assistant Boris knows it doesn’t but the Prof refuses to accept this and continues discussing the sale of the machine with the Doctor. After several fruitless attempts to repair the machine, a couple of wandering extra terrestrials finally manage to get it working after breaking the Prof’s leg.
Yes.....Everything you have ever wanted from one of the most politically radical cities in the world a base for workshops, exhibitions, events and your radical ideas. No not a squat and only temporary but it's going to be upfront and personal and promises four weeks of explosive art, film, discussion, music and poetry raising the issues others do not have the nerve to raise.
"A mouse took a walk through the deep dark wood, A fox saw the mouse and the mouse looked good."
On hearing these words, parents everywhere stop and listen. For this is the entrancing tale of the Gruffalo; many of us love it for itself, some are sentimental as it reminds us of cosy, snuggly bedtime stories with our children, and some are just relieved for something that will distract their own little monster for ten minutes. Me, I’m an ‘all of the above’, so the Gruffalo has a great place in my heart.
