Universal to take on pirates!!

No, relax, this has nothing to do with Universal Pictures trying to take on Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise with a Ricky Tomlinson fronted all singin’ all dancin’, swashbuckling Pugwash trilogy (although maybe it’s something they should think about! James Cameron’s next 3D epic perhaps?). Or sending Lady Gaga [...]

Skinny Jeans…The beginning of the end?

Skinny Jeans…The beginning of the end?

Well not quite. Skinny jeans have quite a history…and though maybe 5 years ago if your average Joe Bloggs strolled round the local shops in a pair of Jeggings he may have ended up with literal egg on his face, they’ve never completely disappeared. Though it does feel like time [...]

One to watch…Ferry Gouw

Ferry Gouw…sound familiar? If you live in London and have an interest in art and music then this guy is certainly one to watch for 2010. Not just one of a million DJ’s or producers coming out the woodwork for their 5 minutes of fame, Ferry can claim with integrity that he’s worked with some [...]

Bond 23 – The Hype Addict Wish List – Part One

There’s no two ways about it, Casino Royale was bloody brilliant, but Quantum of Solace was a bit of a lame duck. What went wrong? Was it an action-naïve director? A rubbish villain? Silly plot? Probably all of the above; but never fear, all it not lost. It’d take a lot more than one dud [...]
