Missing Score 2 Deemed “Trite” By Critics

Film critics across the country have declared the new Boller Carnagy film “Missing Score 2: Catastrophe” one of the worst cinematic releases of all time, with one newspaper column calling it “trite and uninspiring”.

The multi-million movie, written and directed by Carnagy, is a sequel to the smash-hit Missing Score, a film that stayed at the top of the box office charts for twelve weeks. The failure of the sequel is said to be down to Carnagy, who has taken over the director’s position from Maxwell Loths, who was given a Platinum Globe Award for his involvement in the first film. Carnagy’s previous work, which includes the Nightmare series, has continuously failed to impress critics, but the new film’s producers have stated that they were “blown away” by his ideas for the new Missing Score.

With this year’s Platinum Globe Awards quickly approaching, only time will tell if Missing Score 2 is worthy of any praise.

Poker fever has gripped Costa del Sol, and reports have come in that former teen heartthrob Jamie Recassa is attending a high-stakes tournament open only to the wealthy elite.

Recassa, 31, who began his film career at 17 in the Harwood Axter film “Ironnite”, is a known poker player, having participated in numerous tournaments in his hometown of Corel City, and won last year’s Corel 5000 tournament, which was broadcast on Channel Sixty. Recassa has refused to comment on his attendance at the upcoming game at Costa del Sol, which is believed to have been organised by some of the world’s wealthiest men.

Following the success of their sellout tour across the Federation, Junon rockers The Aquajets have knocked Maria Russo off the number one chart spot following her sixteen-week reign with her multi-platinum ballad “Green Eyes (Are Watching Me)”. The Aquajets, whose new album “Photocopies” hits stores next week, have claimed this week’s chart with their new single “Living Between Worlds”, leaping a massive thirty-three places up the charts.

Speaking to ZolomMidwave 99.7, Dax Gerrett, said that the number one position was “an honour”, joking that “[he] expected something better to do it”.The band then performed two tracks from their new album live on the station’s Nightmix programme, which was listened to by an audience of over six million, a new record for the timeslot.

The Aquajets will begin their tour of Wutai in two months time.

Loveless’ Opening Night

Modeo-born Curtis Mascan led the cast in the first night of Loveless in Jotunn City’s impressive Goldenrod Theatre, a production adapted from the book of the same name, and the highly-anticipated performence certainly delivered, with Mascan making the transition from screen to stage perfectly. Mascan, best know for his five-year stint as Lieutenant Richter Quaid in the acclaimed film series “Those Who Fight Further”, performed beautifully as the tragic hero, delivering lines so eloquently you’d forgive and forget about his early work in horrendous low-budget horror films such as “Night of the Malboros”, and he’ll continue to astound for the remainder of the week before the actors take a break until next month, when anyone close to Gongaga City will be able to enjoy them at the Mercury Theatre.

Despite Mascan’s stellar performance, the real star of the show was little-known Cassidy Leonov, a rising star from Ispath, who amazed the audience into a standing ovation with her performance. Leonov, 19, had stunned the play’s director, Stode Balt, at the auditions in the Federation’s capital, even making him announce that she is “the greatest thing to ever happen to the theatre” during an interview with Jotunn Arts Radio earlier this month.

The show remains in the capital until the end of the week, and a handful of tickets remain, which can be bought from the Goldenrod Theatre on Aesirpath Street. Judging from the reactions, it won’t be the last we see of the stage’s new star.
