Nepotism is an increasing problem in contemporary society, especially in the world of showbiz. Take a look at the celebrities of today, and you will notice that the vast majority of them are offspring of rich and powerful celebs of yesteryear. My problem with this corruption, is the […]
Another Comedy Central Roast took place recently, and even though it was titled “The Roast Of Justin Bieber” it was once again a pretext to tell prejudicial jokes; not about Bieber’s ethnicity, but about the ethnicity of the “darker” celebs on and off stage. At the Justin Bieber […]
It’s pretty obvious that these days the majority of Hip-Hop is geared towards the middle class. Case in point; Kendrick Lamar. Search for Lamar’s latest album online and you’ll get results from pompous mags and papers like GQ, The Guardian, Time, NME, and of course everybody’s favourite interlopers; […]
Madonna has always been a strange celebrity creation. She was once very attractive but she can’t really sing, she can’t really dance, she’s never really wrote or composed the majority of her songs, and yet she is hailed as the greatest female singer and performer of all time. […]
It’s really depressing when someone you thought was cool becomes a dull version of their former self. Back in the nineties, Eddie Izzard was an almost genius stand-up, his surreal and disjointed narrative weaved in and out of history and religion, and his juxtaposed topics and odd situations […]
Every now and again, the British Film Industry churns out a new Actor and sells them to the public as “young”, “gritty”, and “realistic”. Unfortunately for the Actor in question, this is usually a clever way of marketing someone with no real “star quality”, and by labelling them […]
Remember when Jonathan Ross was kind of cool? Back in the nineties, he used to wear bright zoot suits, acted a bit anarchic, and his Channel X shows “The Last Resort”, “One Hour With Jonathan Ross”, and “Saturday Zoo” were some of the best shows on Channel 4. […]
From the opening scene of the Girls pilot episode, with Lena Dunham’s character Hannah Horvath gobbling down pasta like a deranged leach, we are introduced to the beige and banal world of the white, upper-middle-class, twenty-something New Yorker. With art almost imitating life, Hannah the wannabe writer sits […]
Hip-Hop is now undoubtedly a watered-down fake version of itself. Case in point; J. Cole’s track “Fire Squad” from his upcoming Album “Forest Hills Drive”. The track is okay (nothing to write home about) but when it was released yesterday, people focussed on a section from one of […]
With a back catalogue that contains some interesting movies, and an innate talent for creating an important and credible feel to his films, Christopher Nolan has in the past been responsible for some great cinema. However in recent years his output has been underwhelming to say the least, […]
Benedict Cumberbatch is living proof that movie casting has gone completely skew-whiff in recent years. Benedict who is famous for his uppity and over-the-top portrayal of Sherlock, seems completely at home on television; where everybody and everything is distinctly average. Transpose him to film however, and you realise […]
Antoine Fuqua has always been an inconsistent Director. His career has encompassed the trivial (“Bait”), the gritty (“Training Day”), the entertaining (“Shooter”), the dull (“Tears Of The Sun” and “King Arthur”) to the downright cheesy (“Olympus Has Fallen”). With his latest film “The Equalizer”, it’s as though he’s […]
Both credible music and credible sub-culture has been quietly hi-jacked and replaced by forgeries over the last twenty years or so. Case in point; Chris Brown, who looks like the result of the four members of Color Me Badd somehow procreating with each other, and whose vocals pretty […]
Ariana Grande is one of those preppy, perpetual “youths” churned out by the conveyor-belt at Nickelodeon. After leaving the ghastly ‘Victorious’, she seems to have kept the shrill voice that she sported on the show and dragged it kicking and shrieking into the world of Pop music. But […]
Joan Rivers, a rickety old witch pretending to be a Comedian, reached a new low yesterday when she gave her opinion on the current Gaza conflict. She proceeded to tell the Photographer who asked her about her opinions, that “When you declare war, you declare war” and “They […]
