WWE: Royal Rumble 2017
Royal Rumble 2017 WWE WWE.com We’re on the road to Wrestlemania, first PPV event for 2017 and the undercard – a series of title matches – was particularly strong. Lots of feuds to end, to re-ignite, to develop; new feuds to kick in, new matches to get set up for WM. And The Royal […]Archive

Bon Iver: 22, A Million
Bon Iver 22, A Million Jagjaguwar Throw a bunch of Aphex Twin’s song titles in the air and what’s left of Peter Cetera’s voice and the resulting jumble is the new Bon Iver album. It is one ludicrous load of shit. Perhaps the only thing more pretentious than it is the Pitchfork review of it. […]Archive

WWE: No Mercy 2016
No Mercy 2016 WWE WWE.com A pretty decent card for No Mercy – very good in fact. Made all the more impressive by the fact that the PPV event opened with the main event – a triple threat match between Dean Ambrose, John Cena and AJ Styles. A big call – but the three athletes […]Archive

But it’s still fun – and importantly […]Archive

WWE Beast In The East: DVD
Beast In The East WWE Shock Here’s one that’s for fans only, even more so than the usual case of pro-wrestling DVD up for review. You see here’s a special event – Brock Lesnar in Japan for the first time in a decade – masquerading as a PPV-event. In fact it was a network show […]Archive

Trainwreck: Film
Trainwreck Director: Judd Apatow Apatow Productions/Universal Pictures We’re at the point now where you expect a Judd Apatow film to be too long – speaking to Marc Maron months before the film was finalised Apatow was self-effacing when Maron straight away asked for the running time of the first cut, questioning whether it came in […]Archive

WWE Wrestlemania 31: DVD
Wrestlemania 31 WWE Shock My love of pro-wrestling died swiftly – and though I have a passing (nostalgic) interest in the product I let the last couple of Wrestlemanias go by, sounds like I didn’t miss a whole lot. But Wrestlemania 31 really lifts the game, returns to that feeling of The Big Event – […]Archive
