Review: the phrase “Broken Britain”

To prove he 'gives a shit' and is out 'fixing' Broken Britain, David Cameron likes having pictures of himself taken at schools. Luckily with plenty of cameras in tow to capture him fixing things.

Attention seeking media darling David Cameron’s favourite phrase is “Broken Britain”. So much so that if you type Broken Britain into Google two suggested results that include David Cameron in it come up before you even hit the search button. There is a vital flaw to this catch phrase though: Britain is not broken. In fact, as far as I can tell Britain is still pretty bloody brilliant. If you were to put us in a pile of smartphones, we’d be an iPhone. Yes we’ve been hit by a recession, but given it’s the ‘biggest recession known to man, god and other such deities’, I suddenly find myself practically looking forward to normal sized recessions in future. They’ll be a right old laugh! Read More…

Review: All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy

Not a book about beastiality

Not a book about beastiality

There I was just a walkin’ down the street. When what do I see but a pile of books with a note saying “take them”. I took the one that looked most boring and therefore most likely to be good, All The Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy. Had no idea who he was but the quotes from The Guardian and The Telegraph made it sound good. Anyway, it looked SO boring that I didn’t read it for months until pissed at my New Years Eve house party I was told by a lovely Aussie that it was the same author of The Road, the post apocalypse film starring Viggo Mortensen. I read it and it was very good. That is all.

Review: Mo

An amazing scene

I’m not being funny, but the Channel 4 production of ‘Mo‘ was fantastic. Julie Walters is captivating and the programme turned me into an emotional wreck throughout. Some films leave a lasting impact on you for life and this is certainly one of them.

Review: iPad’s borders

The big news on Wednesday 27th of January 2010 was that Apple’s new iPad would have borders the width of one human male. The world looked on in horror as a man demonstrated live on stage that no, the width wasn’t a deception, the iPad’s borders genuinely were the same width as his upper chest. He later stated that “Apple are working on a border the size of my entire arm span” before lifting his arms to show scale. Many people in London actually went to hospital after violently recoiling in disgust that Apple had failed to make something that looked better than the HP / Microsoft Slate. Here at Dead Tomorrow towers we’ll be waiting for iPad NoBS (no borders version, set for release as soon as possible please).

Review: Dune

Buy, read, love.

Buy. Read. Love... Worm love.

Every now and then a book comes into my life that’s a little bit special. I love sci-fi and fantasy stories – if I’m going to read a story I want it to not be about every day life – so it’s strange I’ve gone so long without reading Dune, especially as I loved dodgy 80’s film Tremors which, in hindsight, totally rips off Dune. What I love about Dune is that it feels real, like it could happen, but it’s obviously so far removed from real-life that it’s a genuine fantasy. Totally believable, dry but exciting. Wormalicious.

Review: The Daily Mail Showbiz website

It physically pains me to write this, I’m actually holding back the urge to self-harm as I type, but The Daily Mail TV & Showbiz site is amazing. It took this section of The Daily Mail to make me realise what’s so good about the entire publication: it’s bloody hilarious! The articles are all massively long with HUGE pictures and loads of videos. It’s everything you wish Heatworld was and then some. Just look at the above story written “By Daily Mail Reporter”. Hilarious!

Review: Assassin’s Creed II

Assassin’s Creed 2 is one of the best entertainment experiences in the world, better than Avatar, and not just because you get to mingle with Venetian prostitutes. I’ve told people this and yet they still haven’t and will never play it. There really is an entire group of people in this world who miss out on the most amazing experiences available to them. I don’t understand why anyone would do this. Crazy town. Read More…

Review: Bayonetta

bayonetta

Bayonetta, the character you play in a new game on XBox 360 and PS3, looks like a butch lesbian come strict maths teacher. This combination leaves you really not wanting her to take her clothes off in public yet she strips her leather clad ass all the time. That aside, the style and concept behind Bayonetta is outstanding, original, funny and addictive. I love the style and concept. However, it has fast become the most overrated pile of old tosh I’ve played in a long time. Read More…

Review: David Cameron

David Cameron

Sorry, but I can’t trust a smarmy, unoriginal, publicity whore. Least of all male ones.

Review: more freaky Japanese robots

Will they never learn?! Only death of the human race awaits with these creations. The stupid woman is even antagonises the thing at the start! It won’t forget that push woman. Ony day it’s going to come back to push you shortly before ripping your head off.
