The twist! It’s what the whole thing is about, ladies and gentlemen, with movies like Hide and Seek. Ever since The Sixth Sense shocked us in its final act with the shocking revelation; that Bruce Willis could in fact pull off the lead in a slow-burning thriller as well as shouting ‘Yippee-ki-yay, motherf*cker!’ and blowing up entire continents, Hollywood has searched for the next great twist that no-one who had seen the movie could possibly mention...»
For those of us pretentious enough to admit we own iPods, the shuffle function is both a curse and a blessing, the unquenchable desire to know what track might be next erasing any chance of listening to an album in its entirety.»
Firstly, congratulations should go to Sir Sean Connery. At 73 he still manages to look better than people a third his age, never mind just half. The Scotman’s eyebrows alone must have enough sheer sex appeal to lure any female within a three-mile wide vicinity to his grasp.»
Whether or not you really care about the public obsession with ‘Bennifer’, the media-driven hybrid of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez which is not an actual biological fusion (yet), it remains apparent that they are currently the most famous actor/actress couple in the world. So it was logical that the movie where they first met, where those sparks flew, would draw the common hordes towards the local multiplex, in order to watch their idols.»

Relaxing before going onstage to play in Aberdeen, bearded singer-guitarist»
The debate about what constitutes 'punk' shall continue for the immediate future (and probably for the rest of our lives), but those who see it as an attitude, a means of conducting your behaviour in life, could do worse than to see Lapsus Linguae as its saviours. However, first up onstage are M»
The idea of a Robbie Williams album of 'swing' music 'ironically' playing off the name of his last album seems like the kind of lame joke that Cannon and Ball are currently peddling around some dingy seaside resort right now. Except the nightmare has come true. Robbie 'The Don' Williams has followed up 'Sing When»
Gaarrrrggghhhhhhhh! Huuuuurrrrggghhhhhhhh! Eeeeeeuuurrrrrrrrhhhhhhh! Geeeeeeeeoooooaaaaaaaa!!! And so on. This is what makes Raging Speedhorn great. In possession of a bad hernia, and proud to show their pain, the band come with another grinding riff which maintains that addictive groove that resembles a jackhammer. Su»
Unfortunately, 'Till The End' is the type of song name that brings up horrific images of Bon Jovi or Bryan Adams serving up another horrific power-ballad, while grimacing like they have a bad case of diaoreaahh, which is their apparent attempt to 'emote', and show their fanbase that, yes, they have heartbreak too.

Aah, Bon Jovi. Just when you thought you'd seen the last of these egotistical dwarf-like fuckwits, here they are, more overblown and pompous than ever. AND they come with the love ballad.
