The Circus by Take That Music Album Review — Gary Barlow Likes To Write Lots Of Ballads Now
Probably Scores About 6 out of 10. Honestly, the hit track from Take Thats last album Beautiful World was Shine. Why? Because it was packed with tonky piano lines and a catchy melody. Also it was upbeat. The other big release for Take That was the Stardust song Rule The World. Arguably the best ball …

The Reason Why Woolworths Deserve To Disappear Forever And Ever
A.K.A. Shit Shop. I went into my local Woolworths yesterday fuelled by the hype that OMG THEYRE CLOSING AND THEY HAVE TO CLEAR OUT ALL THEIR STOCK.

I’M READING THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA FOR THE FIRST EVER TIME, EVER, EVER! (EVER).
I Have Never Seen The Film Nor Do I Ever Intend To. Im reading them in chronological order. I got a bit confused to be honest given that The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe is the first book written but the actual first book is like the sixth one written or something. In fact I dont think even C.S. …

Is It Bad I Want To See “The Day The Earth Stood Still”?
Gort and Klaatu. Immense. Answer: probably. Discussion: Its a remake of a cult-classic 50s sci-fi flick. It has Keanu Reeves in it. There are undoubtedly slow-motion CGI effect things. Theres probably no plot whatsoever. The movie poster is not as good as the original, as demonstrated here: Pretty B …

God Of War III Will Look Like A Painting. Probably. Anonymous blogger VGTilt thinks he knows a lot about God Of War 3. In fact he thinks he knows a lot more than a lot for he appears to know everything. Fullstop. Of course this might just be a 14-year old bloggers wet dream. Hes certainly getting so …

Most Anticipated ‘09: House Of The Dead Overkill on Nintendo Wii
House Of The Dead Overkill on Nintendo Wii. One thing that Ive always wanted is an arcade cabinet in my house. This stems right back to the day when buying an actual, working Operation Wolf cabinet was very much a feasibility if we only had a way of getting it home. If my family drove a van; we woul …

Anberlin “Feel Good Drag” Music Video “Media Studies Graduate” (A 2:1 For Those Concerned) Analysis
EDIT: Fucking hate it when record labels wont let you embed things. You can watch the video here. The woman wears a large dress as if to juxtapose her personality. She feels unnoticed and so wears big, out of fashion clothes to garner attention. The band represent her inner-aggression by thrashing o …

Bang! on Nintendo WiiWare Review — Bang! Bang! Maxwell’s Silver Hammer.
Another woeful WiiWare game. Here are my closing thoughts: For only 600 Wii points Bang! will hardly break the bank but by the same measure will only occupy you for a short time at best. With no online scoreboards, challenge or alternative modes, Bang! gives you the absolute bare minimum and while i …
