				Robin Hood movie
								
				
							 If a movie were intended to totally turn someone off of the old time legend of Robin Hood, Maid Marion, and the Merry Men, this 2010 version of Robin Hood would do it.

				High School Musical movie
								
				
							 Disney Channel created a sensation with High School Musical in 2006.  It has spawned two sequels, but I hadn’t even seen the original until last night.  Of course, I’m not of current high school generation, so I’m not their target audience anyway.

				And The Little Dog Laughed - Garrick Theatre
								
				
							 And I laughed too. A lot. 
This a surprising, fun, funny, touching play. It is a bitingly satirical look at Hollywood stardom. That makes it sound somehow predictable and dull - but I assure you it is far better than the synopsis. 
	It stars Rupert Friend as Mitchell, a Hollywood actor …
