This newest outing,…

  • The Concept: The biggest hip-hop stars in the world Jay-Z and Kanye West come together to perform all their greatest hits as well as tracks from their collaborative album Watch The Throne.

  • Game of Thrones maintains the momentum, quality and characterisation that made it such a hit to begin with.

  • Mirror Mirror: The Untold Adventures of Snow White leaves a bitter taste in your mouth.

  • Firstly, can I make it quite clear that I don’t overreact when it comes to these torture-porn films, and most of the time I see an audience and even sometimes artistic credit to them: Saw, Hostel, and I managed to sit through the majority A Serbian Film (2010). Even in The Human Centipede (First Sequence)…

  • Pennsylvania-born rapper Wiz Khalifa played one of his last gigs on the UK stint of his global tour at the Guildhall recently, promoting his latest album Rolling Papers. The crowd were given a massive build-up to his entrance, possibly leaving it a little too long between himself and the support act Yelawolf, but I was excited…

  • Released on Blu-ray this autumn, Pulp Fiction (1994) — arguably Tarantino’s most successful and critically acclaimed film — gets the high-definition upgrade fans have been waiting for… and what a beauty it is to watch.
