Schoolboy Q - Blue Lips (2024) Album Review
Sunday Mar 24, 2024
Sunday Mar 24, 2024
The return of Schoolboy Q heralds back to an era of rap, that saw long form projects that were high art and not just gaming streaming charts, and his best work yet, one of the albums of the year.

Yard Act - Where's My Utopia? (2024) Album Review
Sunday Mar 24, 2024
Sunday Mar 24, 2024
The near excellent second album from the UK post-punk alumni is self aware to a fault.

Hurray for the Riff Raff - The Past Is Still Alive (2024) Album Review
Sunday Mar 24, 2024
Sunday Mar 24, 2024
One of the early contenders for album of the year, outstanding lyrics and voice - perhaps a little more variety in the instrumentation and arrangements would've pushed it over the edge, but still fabulous.

Poor Things (2023) Film Review
Saturday Mar 23, 2024
Saturday Mar 23, 2024
Yorgos Lanthimos is well established as at the very top of directors internationally and one of the best cross-overs from foreign art-hours to English language "big pictures", with artistry and acclaim only increasing, a rare feat. Poor Things, probably the second most successful film at this years Oscars is worthy of the acclaim and one of the most imaginative films of the era. If I want to nit pick, the middle act is far too long and repetitive and the characters a little superficial.

Madame Web (2024) Movie Review
Saturday Mar 23, 2024
Saturday Mar 23, 2024
Well it's back-to-back BIG FAT ZEROS out of ten for the last two MCU films. It's even worse than The Marvels but sadly never so bad it's good, it's far too boring to ever be entertaining. But it is interesting to watch the actors actually become totally disinterested in even being there. No one cared at all about any aspect of this film, which supplants its predecessor as the worst post Iron Man comic book super hero film yet

The Social Network (2010) Film Review
Sunday Mar 17, 2024
Sunday Mar 17, 2024
Having watched David Fincher's finest film (bar none) for the umpteenth time recently, my appreciation for it has only grown. The across the board class in direction, score, cinematography, casting, acting and writing and the fact there's not one wasted scene or moment that drags. It's also become far less about Mark Zuckerbeg and Facebook and far more about the terrifying years since.

The Zone Of Interest (2023) Film Review
Sunday Mar 17, 2024
Sunday Mar 17, 2024
A stellar review for Jonathan Glazer's latest art piece, a full decade after the equally impressive, Under the Skin, though this is his undoubted masterpiece - and a slightly better 2023 film than Oppenheimer. This hugely unusual and very disquieting take on the Holocaust, has arguably the best use of sound in cinema history.

Liam Gallagher John Squire - Liam Gallagher John Squire (2024) Album Review
Sunday Mar 10, 2024
Sunday Mar 10, 2024
The Britpop/Madchester legends come together for arguably the finest album in the history of Liam Gallagher and John Squire albums, warning contains frequent swearing and quotation of John Squires lyrics.

Can - Live in Paris 1973 (2024) Album Review
Sunday Mar 10, 2024
Sunday Mar 10, 2024
The most stunning of the recent four live album releases by Krautrock titans, Can, features two caveats not present on the previous releases. Actually featuring previously recorded songs, and major ones, and also vocals, by the recently deceased Damo Sazuki. It's immediately their most essential and thrilling live release and perfectly timed.
