Last Tuesday I was lucky enough to be invited to the Unruly Media offices just off Brick Lane in London for an exclusive preview of the latest FIFA14 soccer video game three days before the official UK launch.
To celebrate the release of the new film FILTH, starring James McAvoy, Jamie Bell, Jim Broadbent and Eddie Marsan, we are giving away three copies of the official soundtrack to the film. FILTH hits Scottish cinemas on September 27th and the rest of the UK October 4th.
Like the true life story itself, this top wee film ’The Great Hip Hop Hoax’ (2013) directed by Jeanie Finlay, nearly feel under my hip hop radar. In the true spirit of the best vinyl ‘diggers’ (record crate hunters), Jeanie has managed to discover a gem of a beat about the facade and lies within the music industry, the irony being it’s about a duo who never actually got a record out.
The Chevrolet Cruze has been around for quite a few years now but has had limited appeal in the UK due to its saloon-only bodystyle. In 2011 Chevrolet finally launched a variant which appeals most to us Brits – a five-door hatchback. Furthermore earlier this year the Cruze received a mild facelift to keep it looking fresh so I decided to give the one a try to see what it has to offer.
I can’t really class myself as an Woody Allen fan. There are many who proclaim themselves to be, which is fair enough, but I just never seemed to get the joke. I’ve enjoyed loads of his movies over the years, but there was no resonance to speak of for my wee thinking sphere.

Remember the chillwave explosion? How about all the dance-pop groups of the mid-to-late 2000s? And then the Hives, the Vines, etc…? Yeah, it’s been difficult to watch, to put it lightly. But every so often, an act comes along that appears to have struck the right balance between the buzz and realistic side of being part of the game these days.
As someone born in Liverpool, who spent 17 years of their life living in Manchester and Sheffield, I am able to confirm that the menfolk of the north can get a bit, well, silly when it comes to their mates.
It’s Die Hard in a call centre. No, wait. It’s Speed in a car boot, and Halle Berry is Keanu, Abigail Breslin is Sandra Bullock, and the mobile phone is Jeff Daniels. Or something.
What’s for sure is that The Call is a marvel of a high camp thriller, destined to be lovingly parodied and ironically adored for its myriad preposterous moments and, especially, Berry’s central turn as 911 operator Jordan Turner.
The Four Megabytes of the Apocalypse It’s been a stellar year for documentaries coming from all corners of the globe. With the constantly evolving,…
Kiss Land could have easily relied on the vocals to sell itself (Tesfaye possesses one of the finest voices around) but it’s the unorthodox production that really sets it apart. In one of his rare interviews The Weeknd speaks of the album being about not being comfortable where you are and it being a “terrifying place”.
He might have the dirty mac and some of the same letters in his name, but Star Trek and Alpha Papa actor Colm Meaney delivers a pretty feeble Columbo routine in A Belfast Story, the feature debut from writer-director Nathan Todd.
To celebrate the cinema release of BLUE JASMINE on 27th September, we’re giving you the once-in-a-lifetime chance to attend the film’s UK premiere in London’s Leicester Square on September 17th!
Today’s re-imagining of ‘The Wall’ by it’s protagonist and creator, Roger Waters is a completely different beast. The original 1979 concept was based mainly around the whimsical dilemmas faced by your average millionaire rockstar, in 2013 ‘The Wall’ has matured into a fully blown anti-war statement that embraces the entire world.
