Sister Act Theatre Review
Sister Act sets out to be just pure entertainment and achieves that goal admirably. Actor Casey Donovan presents the lead character Deloris Van Cartier as accessible and not overly complicated. This is mirrored in her vocal presentation as it is free from vocal gymnastics and overstatement. The criminal element of the story is presented in a slap-sack fashion and is very non-threatening.

Fans of the film should be warned however that this is the theatrical version and ...

Early on Jake comes across as timid and overwhelmed by the reduction of humanity to basic survival. When his father (Duncan Lacroix) is murdered by marauders, Jake’s world is further reduced to just one person, his female friend played by Hannah Khalique-Brown.

Becoming Led Zeppelin Movie Review
One of the stand-out features is how amazing the sound is on the live clips and the separation of the instruments is superb. Bassist John Paul Jones’ low-end output floats in isolated space and drummer Bonham’s kit is fully revealed. It’s amazing how he got such a powerful low-frequency sound with only a single bass drum. Bonzo as he was affectionately known was such a powerhouse and the film fully reveals that.
