Should I Go And See Inglourious Basterds?

Yes, you probably should.

Tarantino’s new film Inglourious Basterds sees many a Nazi soldier in need of a hair transplant, after Brad Pitt’s band of merry murdering men go around with their scalping blades at the ready.

It’s Tarantino, and you have to expect the unexpected – you have to expect the worst. But happily, this is not the ‘worst’ in terms of his filmmaking, nor indeed in terms of being unnecessarily blood thirsty. The guy has never really hit the heights of Pulp Fiction, but this film makes a very good effort indeed.

Gay Pride 09

If you like loads of gays and loud music, then London’s Gay Pride celebrations are where you should have been on the 4th of July.

If you’d just had a row with your missus and thought that the fine architecture and well stocked galleries of central London might provide some respite – you’d instead be confronted with Boy George, The Cheeky Girls and burlesque dancers exposing their nipple tassels to Leicester square.

Look out! The BRITS are coming

The BRIT Awards are imminent and once again the nominations have got music fans and newspaper columnists across the country arguing about the nominees and putting forward alternative suggestions. I don’t really care for the BRITS much, Robbie Williams has won the most with 15 to his name and that tells you all you need to know about the ‘quality’ of the awards, but being a music fan I always take a look at who’s in the frame if only to see what the national musical zeitgeist looks like.
