Skyfall. 9/10 Easily the best Bond in a long time. Really enjoyed it.

Whilst catching the new Bond film I happened to catch 2 trailers of two good looking films Django Unchained and Seven Psychopaths

The Dark Knight Rises 10/10 Absolute Thrill-fest

They can really write a catchy tune, thats for certain

Niice!! Been listening to the Chillis tonight. Slow Cheetah, awesome!

Smashing Pumpkins - Violet Rays Catchy little tune

I think the masses want simplicity and the fact with this is that anyone can do it. These people I hear on the radio and in the mainstream aren't special, they aren't talented, they are just one in a very long line of talentless, flavors of the month. What I see in much of modern music, no matter what the genre is, is not musicians, simply because either they don't actually write the music themselves, or what they do write is a load of bullshit. Me personally, I love the music I listen to to be challenging. Its in this sort of music that I find you get the best rewards. Music you really have to dedicate time to will repay you tenfold. Just the other day I was listening to Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd, talented is not a big enough word to describe these brilliant musicians who had the ability to make stuff sound awesome, they pushed boundaries, they were different and their stuff is still as amazing today as it was then. It'll be interesting if the songs you hear on the radio will still have value in 30 years. Something tells me...not.

I have to say I dislike Muse too. They're just a bit too mainstream for me and its always baffled me why that is in the first place. For a relatively progressive band, their stuff has never seemed that complex or catchy to me. I prefer a heavier sound to my music and I guess Muse are a bit too 'spacy' for me. I think they arguably hit their peak with Origin of Symmetry, which was a long time ago. Their music comes across as cold with songs lacking any real emotion, its almost robotic and if you put them up against Porcupine Tree, I think they get their arses kicked. ...and yet there they are, up there with other inexplicably popular bands like Coldplay, U2, Foo Fighters as one of the most popular bands around. ...just my opinion anyway

Daylight Dies - And A Slow Surrender

Paradise is pretty cool. Took a while to get used to the controls (sice when has R2 been accelerate!!) and also the free roam element. But visually it looks stunning and theres plenty of fun to be had.

Burnout will never be beaten. Playing the old Point of Impact, Takedown and Revenge games was time very well spent, really good fun

Agolloch- In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion

Mate...bad jokes keep me going...shoot though I fear it maybe something about 'keeping cool'

Are you into metal as well as rock?

cool, I remember Bullet with Butterfly wings being played during the ad of Deadspace...seemed to suit it quite well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESFH1gNsARw Ozzy sounding awesome
