REVIEW: Robyn – Body Talk Pt. 2
Tuesday, September 21st, 2010
Robyn is back with the second instalment of the Body Talk trilogy. Body Talk Pt. 2 is another funky electro album with a punchy and fierce vibe, Robyn’s forte. ‘Hang With Me’ is the first release with its cool, heavy bass line and catchy lyrics. A slice of hip-hop has been added to the album, especially on ‘Criminal Intent’, and ‘U Should Know Better’, a Snoop Dogg collaboration.

REVIEW: Piranha 3D
Saturday, September 18th, 2010
From the trailers and teasers online you think you know exactly what you’re paying to see. That sort of B-movie popular in the 90s, with more gore and carefree nudity thrown in, the sheer audacity of Piranha is reeling in audiences worldwide.

Open House Festival: Nathaniel Rateliff/The Low Anthem/Iron & Wine
Friday, September 17th, 2010
The Open House Festival is for serious music fans, there’s no misogynistic Ragga from Major Lazer or songs cut up and mashed together by 2manydjs. No, not at all. Instead, this is for people who discuss their memories of when Dylan went electric and exactly what The Byrds are trying to say on ‘Turn! Turn! Turn!’ Tonight was a lesson in politeness, as men with a bit less hair on their head than there was sipped their pints, heads slightly angled to the left and enjoyed the beauty that unfolded in front of them.

Open House Festival: Modest Mouse
Friday, September 17th, 2010
Dear reader, as your trusted reviewer I feel compelled to be honest from the outset. A competent, well-liked, well-travelled band playing a moderately warmly received set in a bright, benign setting isn’t exactly the best material for an entertaining article. I just thought a warning would be…prudent. Anyway, all set? Good.

REVIEW: Grown ups
Monday, September 6th, 2010
It is amazing how such an incredible line-up could produce such an incredibly bad film. With a cast including Adam Sandler, Chris Rock and Rob Schneider, ‘Grown ups’ would seem a certain treat for any movie buff. Unfortunately a great cast is wasted on a film without direction that consists almost entirely of dull one-liners.

REVIEW: Certified copy at the QFT
Monday, September 6th, 2010
‘Certified copy’ is the new film by Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami, best known for such films as ‘A taste of cherry’ and ‘Ten’. His first film made away from Iran, ‘Certified copy’ stars Juliette Binoche, winner of the Best Actress award at Cannes for her slightly overwrought performance here. Despite the plaudits concerning a tour de force performance from one of France’s premier actresses, there is something more interesting at work in this apparent romantic drama.
