    A battle to stay awake: Battle Los Angeles

    CRASH. BANG. WALLOP. These are the sights and sounds of Battle: Los Angeles, the latest alien invasion movie to hurtle into screens up and down the country leaving heavy eyes and sore heads in its wake. What plot there is centres on Aaron Eckhart’s stoical Staff Sergeant marine. He’s just returned from a tour in the […]

    Hall Pass: heartwarmingly gross-out?

    Near-as-damned impossible to view the Farrelley brothers’ latest comedy as anything but a set of outtakes from The Hangover, viewers will nonetheless find something distinctly more schmaltzy about Hall Pass. The narrative’s lifeblood runs in the same vein as 2009’s outrageous, drunken recollection comedy. Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis play Rick and Fred, married men […]

    James Blake – James Blake

    Let’s get this out of the way – James Blake clearly has talent. There’s just about enough melodies here that get stuck in your head easily enough to convince you of that. What we also have here though is a record that misses far more than it hits. Evidently chosen as the artist to sell […]

    Statham, stupidity and Schubert: The Mechanic

    What do you think of when someone says ‘Jason Statham’ to you? What images pop into your mind? Perhaps, a cockney’d chap organising bare-knuckle bouts. Or, maybe, you imagine him engaged in very public displays of affection juiced on drugs, booze and energy drinks. How about beating up burly bad guys, shirtless, rolling around in […]

    EDGE goes 90s: Nothing Sketchy About This

    Who likes modern sketch shows? With the drab and downright bigoted offerings of things like Frankie Boyle’s Tremadol Nights, or the funny-at-first antics of Little Britain, it’s easy to think that sketch shows are just at the bottom of the comedy pile. Satirical film, then stand up, then light hearted comedy flicks, then sitcoms, then […]

    EDGE Goes 90s: 3rd Rock from the Sun

    For some of you this show might be totally alien to you, for others, you’ll have gotten the pun I just made. A wonderful sitcom that first aired in America in 1996, 3rd Rock From The Sun focused on the day-to-day lives of the Soloman family, a group of extra-terrestrial explorers sent to covertly discover […]
