The tagline, I believe, for this read something like "Big meets Bigger"

It could just as easily have read "Dumb meets Dumber"

Actually, now that I think about it: that's probably unfair: there's nothing dumb about knowing your audience!

(Loosely) based on the old 1980s arcade game of the same name, this sees Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson playing primatologist Davis Okoye, who - for plot reasons - gets caught up in what (essentially) amounts to a Monster showdown in downtown Chicago, with the monsters scaling tall building and destroying half the city in the process while the military vainly tries to stop them.

You know, just like the coin-up?

Basically, this a B-movie writ large, and knows it!

Rolling Stone's 22nd greatest album of all time

The subject of many mysterious stories of soul-selling and devil-dealing, which is obviously complete nonsense. Quite simply, Johnson was a blues musician who initially wasn't very good and then, after a couple of years of intensive practice, he became quite good. His songs tended to have a dark, macabre theme to them, which led people to believe the hype of him selling his soul to the devil, a story which wasn't invented until after his death, and has grown arms and legs since.
Superb blues songs from a master of the Delta blues style, most notably Sweet Home Chicago, Come on in my Kitchen and Cross Road Blues.
