Mine turned up this morning; http://i7.minus.com/iFspUSZeSYmj5.jpg The handheld feels pretty robust and I like the classic NG pad, and while the arcade stick feels a bit plasticy and lightweight it does the job fine and will double as a good stick for my PC. I like the dock and even though the pictu...

O Brother, Where Art Thou? - 5/5 - I love everything about this film. Great performances all round and there's such a rich and wonderful tone to every scene thanks to the warm cinematography and amazing soundtrack that I never seem to tire of it. Easily my favourite from the Coen brothers, and, lik...

Moonrise Kingdom - loved every minute of this, some excellent performances all-round, and some wonderful framing and composition from the director throughout. This is the second Wes Anderson film I've seen (the other being the Life Aquatic, which I enjoyed immensely), and he just seems to have this...

Here's the main event from Monday's New Japan iPPV - this is the latest match to receive a 5/5 star rating from the Wrestling Observer. The story going into this match is basically that Tanahashi is like the Cena of New Japan in terms of popularity and presence, while Suzuki is a tough-as-nails heel...

The New Japan show was just about the best PPV I've seen all year, from any promotion - Tanahashi vs Suzuki is a proper match of the year contender, better than Brock/Cena, Richards/Elgin, Okada/Naito, Cena/Punk, Generico/Ibushi, Punk/Bryan, Gargano/Yoshino and just about every other 2012 match I ca...

OK, folks - less than 24 hours until the best WRESTLING promotion in the world puts on their first ever international iPPV. You can either watch live, or On Demand until October 11th; New Japan Pro-Wrestling, "NJPW 40TH ANNIVERSARY ~ KING OF PRO-WRESTLING", 08.10.2012 Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugik...

Dark Star (1974) by John Carpenter - a somewhat absurdist science fiction, with a dose of black comedy thrown in for good measure, that follows the downfall of a lonely, four-man crew aboard Dark Star; a deep space demolitions ship designed to destroy unstable planets before they collide with their...

Ashes and Diamonds (1958) by Andrzej Wajda - set in Poland at the very end of World War 2, 'Ashes & Diamonds' follows a young hit man named Maciek hired to kill communist party official Szczuka, but through a chance meeting with barmaid Krzystyna he begins to have doubts about his actions and t...

Time of the Wolf (2003) by Michael Haneke - a strange and sparse post-apocalyptic drama stripped down to the barest essentials in order to examine the effects the unnamed cataclysm has on ordinary people, and the drastic and disturbing measures they turn to in order to survive. The story follows a ...
