  • Small software package update now available for X2 customers
    Sony Ericsson just announced the availability of a new small software package update for the XPERIA X2. While it is not the complete update of the operating system that will come later this month, they felt that they had to come out with something to enhance the user experience – I wonder why… The update package will improve the “basic performance and...

  • X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro join the ‘Fabulous 5′
    Sony Ericsson announced two additions to the XPERIA line-up at this year’s Mobile World Congress, both being compact versions of the brilliant X10. Quite appropriately, they’ve been named X10 Mini and one of them got an additional ‘Pro’ in the end of its name due to the added slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Both of them are very exciting products and...

  • Cop Out Soundtrack
    The Cop Out soundtrack. A paean to 80s buddy cop movies is all well and good, but Cop Out isn’t just a love letter, it’s a comedy pastiche of a sub-genre which already had a pretty thick comedy seam running right through it, and furthermore, for his comedy version of already quite funny films (Beverly Hills Cop, 48 Hours, Lethal Weapon), Kevin Smith has cast in the...

  • No More Mr White In Bond – Says 007 Films “Sh*t”
    Remember Mr White? He got shot in the leg at the end of Casino Royale? He got vaguely threatened with torture in Quantum of Solace? No? This guy: Well, chances are Jesper Christensen, the actor in the role, will not be returning to the series.

  • BAFTA Winners 2010
    The credits have rolled on the 2010 BAFTAs. In case you don’t know what the ‘British Film and Television Awards’ are, it’s like the British version of the Oscars, only, instead of Jon Stewart or Chris Rock, we get Jonathan Ross bombing with every joke. Mind you, we did get to see Mickey Rourke looking at his p*nis and asking, ‘do you wanna...

  • Comic Con: The Movie
    Nerd commander in chief Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly) is teaming up with documentarian Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) to make a ducumentary on nerdvana itself: San Diego Comic Con. The documentary “will be centred on a still-to-be-cast group of convention-going superfans.” That sentence is disturbing because ’superfans’ behave...

  • Tarantino Discusses Next Film
    Inglourious Basterds was a glorious return to form for Quentin Tarantino after the interesting but mostly disappointing Death Proof. There is even a growing suspicion that QT might snatch the best film and best director Oscars from under James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow’s noses for his efforts. With all this in mind, a lot of us are intrigued to find out what the...
