Knight And Day

I know nothing of the upcoming smash hit film Knight And Day featuring uberstars Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. But I saw the poster at the cinema the other day and questions were well and truly raised:
Is Tom inexplicably wearing a far too short, skin-tight dress?
Or is Cameron equi-inexplicably wielding a wang?
And why is the [...]

Alien vs Predator

Recently watched the 2004 smash hit cinematic classic Alien vs Predator. Because, heck. I like Aliens. I like Predators. I like the concept of things ‘versus’ other things. Furthermore, I was unwell and couldn’t be bothered moving from the couch. All these aspects converged to make my viewing of this movie a near statistical certainty [...]

The Beatles

In the smash hit single When I’m Sixty-Four by plucky up-and-coming Liverpudlian band The Beatles (note the unusual spelling – a trap for inexperienced music journalists), was Sir Paul McCartney genuinely worried that his geriatry would be punished by starvation? (‘Will you still feed me, When I’m sixty-four?’)
If so, what startling prescience of the nuances [...]

After last season’s all-nukin’ finale, we open on Oceanic 815 (again! come on writers, try something new for once in your by-the-numbers lives!). But this time, there’s no crash, mostly because ocean-dwelling cameras reveal that the island has been sunk to the [...]

The Turtles

In their smash hit single Elenore, ’60s troubadours The Turtles express their love for the titular Elenore as follows:
Elenore, gee I think you’re swell
And you really do me well
You’re my pride and joy, etcetera
‘Etcetera’?? ‘Etcetera’?? Brilliance. I mean, I’d have been overcome with giddiness at the thought of wooing someone with the underused adjective that [...]

Lost Analysis: Mysteries and Unanswered Questions – Who Is Jacob?

Wow! Didn’t time fly. I had originally said I was going to cover all the major outstanding mysteries and unanswered questions left for Lost on a weekly basis until the show returned for Season Six. Obviously, in retrospect, that was a Very Large Lie. So, with the Season Six premiere looming, let’s skip all the [...]
