Review - Hellboy 2: The Golden Army



I didn't recognize Luke Goss as the evil Prince Nuada. It would've been ace if they'd cast Matt Goss in drag as the good princess. A missed opportunity.

p.s. Surely its not just me who thinks that Johann Krauss looks a bit too much like a smash robot?

V Festival - Day Two

After The Apocalypse came once again this year (thankfully during The Verve and I'd made my escape), the site was left like a giant slosh of a mud pit meaning moving from stage to stage was almost out of the question as it took almost an hour to get anywhere of interest.

What didn't help the mood was that Sunday has the considerably shitter line up and 3 of the bands I wanted to see all clashed - So out of Tokyo Police Club, The Hold Steady and Iglu & Hartly I plumped for the topless Californian surfer dude-types, mainly so I could claim bragging points this time next year when they are massive. They put on a great show for 30 mins, not sure it'll work over an album - but I'm happy with my sweaty man hug and free frisbee.

Beck: Gamma Ray



Probably the best song on the album (though I am loving Profanity Prayer at the moment), but is also the most like Gnarls Barkley and the presence of Dangermouse is most obvious on the latest single from Modern Guilt. The 60s vibe is played up with this trip-tastic, psychedelic, surrealist video.

Gamma ray? More like Man Ray!

Review: Lost Boys 2



Really bad, though Corey Feldman was kinda borderline so bad it's good with his Rocky Balboa meets Bale's Batman impression.
