- Cusack and “That Chap From Serenity” Surprise Us…
Roland Emmerich - purveyor of digital, popcorn death in the guise of aliens, Godzilla, the weather and mammoths - has long been known to be working on 2012; a movie based around the premise that the end of the 5,000 year Mayan Long Count calendar (21st December 2012) will herald all kinds of earth-ending terror. […]
- A poor, infirm, weak, and despised old man.
According to screendaily.com, Anthony Hopkins, Keira Knightley and Gwyneth Paltrow are in talks to head up the cast of a $35m adaptation of Shakespeare’s King Lear.
Not before time, we reckon. Of all the Bard’s tales, King Lear has perhaps the greatest potential for a sizzling modern adaptation - featuring as it does treachery, madness, paranoia, […]
- An Introduction To: THE BAND Part Two - REVIEW : MUSIC FROM BIG PINK
In a Station 1969
“Once I walked through the halls of a station.
Someone called your name.
In the streets, I heard children laughing.
They all sound the same.
Wonder could you ever know me?
Know the reason why I live.
Is there nothing you can show me?
Life seems so little to give.”

Although most talk about […]

- REVIEW: Daniel Johnston - “Welcome To My World”
Daniel Johnston is going to divide people on where (if anywhere) his talent lies. His ability to sing is questionable and his playing is (barely) functional at best.
Daniel Johnston’s life and work has been marked by his bi-polar disorder since the beginning of his career. Johnston’s personal problems always seemed to me to be the […]
- REVIEW: Lou Reed– “Coney Island Baby”
Lou Reed had a tendency in the 70s to always follow up a great commercial success with a deliberately difficult album in order to challenge his audience and create some space between him and the mainstream. To paraphrase Larry David “if they weren’t watching on Wednesday night at 10 then I don’t them watching on […]
- Love is in Blum — Steve Zahn in Big Bad Sad Cad Shocker!!
So following on from that idiot Steve Zahn insinuating that yours truly is all washed up on his pathetic little blog, I figured that my response as featured on my blog was enough to put this towering cad in his place. I was unfortunately wrong. This morning I woke up to the sound of this […]
