"Gena Rowlands is a goddess. I almost don’t know what else to say beyond that. I love the scene when her character, an actress named Myrtle Gordon, shows up to the theater drunk beyond belief on opening night. The physicality of Rowlands’s performance is brilliant: the tension in her mouth, the heavy breathing, her limbs rigid one moment, limp the next. Watching her gain her composure is harrowing and hilarious at the same time."

"Anything by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring Sherlock Holmes. Many people have enjoyed the adventures of Holmes and Watson in films and on the small screen. My guess would be that far fewer have actually read the stories from which they’re taken. Sherlock and Dr. John aren’t cozy, tweedy, oddball caricatures. They’re tough guys—resolute, brilliant and action-oriented. And if you’ve got lots of reading time on your hands, we’re talking LOTS of stories."

Rolling Stone's 469th greatest album of all time
What a belter of an album. Ready or Not, No Woman No Cry and Killing Me Softly are superb and should be played on the radio more. But the rest of the album is wonderful too. Lauryn Hill has a brilliant voice, both for singing and some top notch raps, and Wyclef Jean has one of the most distinctive voices out there. A great collection of songs.

Theme tune to my youth! Loved this album, and in fact I believe I still have it in a box somewhere

Rolling Stone's 479th greatest album of all time
What a fantastic album. With a lot of similarities to Frank Zappa at his funk-laden jazz best, this is a short collection of brilliant 70s songs. Hints of Hendrix as well make this a really enjoybale and surprising listen. Definitely one I will listen to again, and reminded me why I am listening to Rolling Stone's top 500 albums. And then came the next one ...

    Erasure are back with their 18th studio album. The Neon offers us warmth and a brilliant brightness...

In my opinion the best of the Nolan batman movies it has everything and more and probably heath ledgers best performance in a movie worthy of the Oscar he won the rest of the cast ain't bad either the action scenes the bank heist at the beginning any many other scenes are just brilliant. I could go on why I love this movie but it would take too long
