• CD REVIEW - Olympics UNITY

  I’d say you really have to be half way into the whole Olympics ethos to completely appreciate this album. If I had the money, I’d be there. Any Star Trek fan, hopeful of a better world, also must appreciate those goals, and the strength and the effort it takes to achieve them.

• 'Spider': a web worth the shivers

  Controversial Cronenberg does it again in a film which is far more than a creepy movie, but this one needed seeing twice before the grim tale it unravels sunk in with a sinister beauty.

• Alien vs. Predator

  With a fanboy-driven film like this, the main question to ask is how badly it sucks. The answer? Remarkably enough, this movie doesn't suck. (SPOILERS a-plenty ...)
