Saturday night I finally saw the latest in the Cirque Du Soleil oeuvre, Love. First, let me state that it was wonderful through and through and I highly recommend into to anyone as entertainment.

LOTR: Two Towers Review First, it’s hard to say whether a review of this film contains Spoilers because if you’ve read the book, you already know what happens. If you’ve not read the book, stop now.
