Linkin Park/Sweeney Todd/Soldier of Fortune/A V P R

In this epic two parter (we seem to be having quite a few of these lately), Alex discusses the Linkin Park concert he went to at the O2 and all of us talk about Tim Burton’s ghoulish pitch-black musical, Sweeney Todd – The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Tony follows up with a review of piss-poor, yet oddly compelling gut-churning FPS, Soldier of Fortune – Payback and Paul confides in us as to why he actually quite enjoyed risible sequel to a terrible spin-off to two exhausted series’ A V P R – Aliens Vs Predator – Requiem.

No Country for Old Men/St. Trinian’s/Alvin and the Chipmunks/I Am Legend.

Back to movie reviews with a vengeance this week. We’ve changed our rating system to something more in tune with popular reviewing styles. It’s now one to five stars.

In this episode, we delve into the Coen Brothers first really great film since 2000’s O Brother, Where Art Thou?: No Country for Old Men.
Then Paul takes TWO for the team and talks about both the appalling waste of nubile young ladies, St. Trinian’s; and the return of a bunch of old rockers who’ve been going for longer than The Rolling Stones: Alvin and the Chipmunks. We also see a side of Paul rarely glimpsed, so pay attention…

We finish off with a review of the third cinematic adaptation of Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend, starring Will Smith. The film that has left most critics cold, but we believe it holds some merit. Listen in to find out why.
