Cinema - Iron Man (12A)
2:26pm Tuesday 13th May 2008
MARVEL has released its latest superhero flick and luckily for cinema-goers everywhere, it's more of a Spiderman than a Daredevil.

CD - Hard Candy - MadonnaCD - Hard Candy - Madonna
2:25pm Tue 13 May 08
THERE are definitely more hits than misses on Hard Candy and the heavy beats of hit single 4 Minutes lend themselves to winding the car windows down and driving along with the stereo at full volume in a perfect moment of summery goodness.

CD - Third - PortisheadCD - Third - Portishead
2:24pm Tue 13 May 08
PORTISHEAD are one of the most unique bands to come out of England in years and their third album has definitely been worth the wait.

Halloween (uncut) (18)Halloween (uncut) (18)
2:23pm Tue 13 May 08
FROM reading the blurb on the back of the DVD box, I presumed this remake of the 1970s classic would give us an insight into what made Michael Myers, the blood thirsty, crazed maniac we've all come to know and fear.

EVERYONE'S favourite actor, Will Smith, stars as Robert Neville, a lone human survivor in a post-apocalyptic world dominated by hairless, flesh-eating, mutants.

CD - The Age of the Understatement - The Last Shadow Puppets
2:20pm Wednesday 7th May 2008
THE Last Shadow Puppets are the side project of Arctic Monkeys' frontman Alex Turner and Miles Kane from the Rascals and there is a consistent quality to the songs, perfectly playable for teens looking for a theme song to their latest angsty moment.

DVD - Lions for Lambs (15)
2:19pm Wednesday 7th May 2008
LIONS for Lambs is intelligently written, but it's still anti-war propaganda, which is a pity.

DVD - Balls of Fury (12)
12:41pm Wednesday 7th May 2008
WE seem to have had a rash of comedy films about random sports in recent years, but very few have proved to be that funny, and sadly this proves no exception.

DVD - St Trinian’s (12)

DVD - 30 Days of Night (18)
3:50pm Friday 25th April 2008
AFTER years of really lame vampire films, this is one people will really be able to sink their teeth into.

CD - E=mc2 - Mariah Carey
3:50pm Friday 25th April 2008
I HAVE never been a fan of Mariah Carey but there were always two words I associated with her music. One of them was playful, and when her songs weren't being that, they were powerful - in emotion and volume.

DVD - The Darjeeling Limited (15)
3:49pm Friday 25th April 2008
THE Darjeeling Limited sees three idiosyncratic brothers - Jack, Peter and Francis - head out across India on a voyage of pseudo self discovery, armed with a paraphernalia of non-prescription Indian painkillers, mismatched shoes, a poisonous snake and enough character quirks to fill their carriage to the brim.

DVD - The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (15)
10:33am Friday 18th April 2008
THE Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is one of those films where the plot is laid out in the title, which might be why no-one really turned out to watch this gem on the big screen.

10:31am Friday 18th April 2008
DESPITE their Oasis-sized egos and lead singer Liam Fray's occasional claim to be the next big thing, Manchester band the Courteeners actually do seem to have the evidence to back up their ambitious statements.

DVD - The Hitman (15)
