  1. So bloody sick of United. It's as good as theirs now.
  2. You'd never heard of Michael Sheen? Frost/Nixon?
  3. Read the book Abbey. You'll wail like a little girl.
  4. There's no denying Jackson's genius as a performer but frankly he's just far too barking to be taken seriously these days. Car crash is right.
  5. Before becoming a fixture in the gossip pages for banging Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Aniston and any other blonge with a pulse, John Mayer was best known as one of America's best young song-writers. His latest live album Where The Light Is is absolutely fantastic and worthy of a purchase. One cover of Tom Petty's Free Fallin' is worth the money album alone.
  6. I don't think anyone's suggesting that this is going to be good in the same way that The Godfather is good, but you can't help but be excited by the prospect of seeing these guys taking names in a serious manner. Oh and Arnie's only got a cameo.
  7. I saw Frost/Nixon yesterday. It's absolutely superb.
  8. Most articles on MSN are crap but I thought this was pretty funny.
  9. Sin City is good. This wasn't. Make that any standard of living. Great movie.
  10. I was going to see The Wrestler anyway, but at least now I know it'll be worth it. I've seen three films this week: Changeling: Excellent film, eerie atmosphere, very intense, fantastic performance all round. Clint hits the jackpot again. Australia: Very OTT yet great fun. It drags on for a bit but overall it's a great spectacle. The Spirit: A whole lot of meh. Aside from Scarlett Johansson's lovely cleavage and Eva Mendes's rear, this has nothing to offer. Samuel L. Jackson hams it up admirably but he clearly knows the whole thing's a bit of a joke.
  11. Taken? Isn't that the Liam Neeson film generally viewed as one of the worst films of the last year? I read this review and decided against it.
  12. Not bad. He did a few of those awful piano-based dirges that he seems fond of but other than that he was good.
  13. I had the chance to go see Coldplay on the 23rd as a friend of a friend dropped out. I'm not really that big a fan but I have to say they were very good.
  14. Couldn't disagree more. I thought Harsh Times was excellent and 3:10 To Yuma was very disappointing.
  15. So I got Fallout 3 in HMV's sale yesterday. I played it yesterday evening for 30 minutes and HATED it. I understand that it's an RPG so I wasn't surprised to see all the things one would associate with that genre, but what appalled me most was the animation. The character interaction and movement (especially in the third person - a style of play that I favour over the raft of lazy FPS title out there) was like something from an early PS2 title. Characters moon-walking on the spot is one example and an early scuffle with some bullies was laughable in its design and execution. I'm sorry but I can't see what the fuss was about. I managed to get my money back at HMV this morning. I know I played very little of it, but there is a feeling that every gamer gets when you know that something's not quite right with your new purchase. I've got the same feeling about Far Cry 2 which is far too vast, mediocre and boring between the confusingly assembled 'main' stories. I plan to trade it in on Monday. Perhaps for COD5.
  16. I watched the first hour of The Chronicles of Narnia last night. It was utterly dreadful. I appreciate that no fantasy film will ever top LOTR but frankly I found this one to be rather embarrassing.
  17. Grace is so good that I don't want to ruin it by listening to it too often. Every so often I'll put it on the iTunes and be reminded of how big a talent we lost when Buckley went. Anyway, I bought Black Stone Cherry's Folklore and Superstition in the sales today. It's very RAWK but very good. I also got Talib Kweli's Quality for Christmas. I'd recommend it to any fans of proper east coast hip-hop. I find McGowan quite embarrassing to be honest. Fortunately he's English so it could be worse.
  18. No idea what it's about but this looks the mutt's nuts. That's looks ace. Where did you see it?
  19. Without revealing any spoilers, can anyone who has played Far Cry 2 tell me how to obtain more malaria medicine? I think I'm running out.
