DJ Hero 2 PlayStation 3 review

Activisions wheels-of-steel videogame returns for a second entry, but is DJ Hero worth a spin? Many would point their finger at Activision for this state of affairs. As such, newcomers will find investing some time with the games extensive tutorial to be worthwhile. True to the nature of actual DJing, playingDJ Hero 2is a somewhat solitary activity. This has few implications from a gameplay perspective, but means that the whole package lacks a distinct feel....

Music in the movies: John Barry

Highlights here include the incredibly suspensefulDawn Raid On Fort Knox,which outshines the more overt action pieces. This could partly be explained in that the score was only finished shortly before the film was released. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,which was recorded by both Shirley Bassey and Dionne Warwick. Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bangwas reworked into the score and stands as one of the highlights. Barrys music provides a great backdrop to this Leslie Bricusse penned ballad....

Will Hollywood ever cast an openly gay actor as a franchise headliner?

Think back to when Daniel Craig was cast as James Bond. Can you imagine the controversy at the casting of a Ginger Bond? Now imagine what would happen if the studio cast a gay actor as James Bond? Now, there is no reason why a gay actor could not play James Bond. In fact, he was widely rumoured to play James Bond at some point in the future. Speaking to The Guardian last year, Everett said, Its not that advisable, to be honest....

Sean Lock interview: Twitter, touring and Audience Battleships

What is it about the Apollo that makes it such a common venue for stand-up comedy DVDs? Ad content continues below There are two reasons. One, the West End is a pain in the arse. Its all owned by Westminster Council, and logistically its a nightmare to organise. And its a big public space it looks impressive, but its expensive to play in. Its a good venue.How does your material evolve over the course of a tour?...

Denzel Washington interview: Unstoppable, Barack Obama, badgers and more

Thats the first thing. He calls and says, Hey, do you want to do this? Weve had a lot of success together, and hes a nice guy, I like him. Ad content continues below But I dont know when well work together again. Like I said, he didnt call me forTop Gun 2[Laughs]. And inUnstoppable, youre not the only lead youve got Chris Pine in there. Ive done a lot of two handers....

Dara O Briain interview: Independence Day, videogames, 2012, Twitter, stand-up and Gillian McKeith

[Big smile] In what way have I broken him? Did you catch this story? [Gasps with glee] I did not! So he was doing this antithesis to2012, and clearly its now all fallen apart because of you. I am so proud of that! Because I was never convinced byIndependence Day… Its half a film. It was homage in every direction! MainlyV, though, which itself was stolen from Arthur C Clarke....

Doctor Who: Return To Earth Nintendo Wii review

I mean, well… wow! I should explain just why this game is so shockingly poor. Its simple, sure, but its pretty standardDoctor Whostuff, so you cant complain. From here, its all downhill, a very steep downhill at that. These crystals each perform different tasks, and are used by firing at floating targets in first person. Still, I suppose it adds to the challenge. Once youre ready, it’s possible for you to fire....

Ross Noble interview: Things DVD, stand-up and coffee enemas

I caught up with him before he performed the third of five nights at the Newcastle City Hall. Youre right in the midst of your current UK tour. Its Newcastle tonight, hows it going compared with other years? I mean Newcastles always a winner. Its a 2,000 seater concert hall and its ram-packed every night.

Looking back at Lethal Weapon 2

Mark revisits the 1989 sequel, Lethal Weapon 2. But how does it compare to the classic original? And has Patsy Kensit improved? Its a scene that could only have been written in the 80s. And then, one gloriously silly explosion later, its all over. Well, Glover is just brilliant in pretty much every scene, here. Is it fair to call this a career highlight for him? Certainly in box office terms, and this was a huge boost for his profile....

007: Blood Stone Xbox 360 review

In fact, it was quite good. If youre expecting more of the sameCall Of Duty-style gameplay, though, youll be surprised. Think Metal Gears of Bond, and youre about there. (I bet the iPhone cant do that!) Sadly, the enemy AI and challenge dont stand up quite as well. Theyll certainly return fire, though. Obviously, effective battlefield movement and cover use wasnt important in their respective criminal organisations orientation programme. Theres even a rooftop chase sequence that stands out as a highlight of the game....

Jimmy Carr interview: stand-up comedy, 10 O’Clock Live and the British sense of humour

Its such a cool room, isnt it? Were recording the DVD there next year, because I just love that room. I think its a fabulous space, and a lot of people go there. And you say in that segment that it makes it for me when people join in. Is there a much bigger risk to that? Not really, no. But Im getting a lot more people up on stage, and making them part of the show....
