Fashion v Sport kicks off this week's cultural contributions, opening today at the V&A. Don your favourite shellsuit and examine the unique relationship between fashion and sport (is the missing link money?). Theatrically speaking, there's masses of exciting new stuff to choose from this week. Risk a dramatic shower tomorrow as Timon of Athens opens at the Globe, and the lovely Topol starts crooning his way through Gigi in Regent's Park. If you'd rather......

There's only one film we could kick off with this week and that film is...Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo. Ok, not really. Although we will get to that eventually. No, the film we're most interested in this week is David Cronenberg's A History of Violence. It's arthouse meets Hollywood with Vigo Mortensen, so it really shouldn't work. But somehow Cronenberg seems to have pulled it off, that is if this week's broadsheet reviews are anything......

We weren't really looking forward to trawling through the Kingdom of Heaven reviews this week. To be honest, historical epics are starting to bore us and we can do without seeing any more of Orlando Bloom brandishing oversized weapons while his hair gently shifts in the breeze...and it seems we're not alone. Pete Bradshaw can only bring himself to give Kingdom of heaven two stars in his, frankly brilliant, review in today's Guardian. It......

In 2003 it was Lee Scratch Perry, and in 2004 Morrissey decided to come out of hiding to do it, so everyone was pretty excited to see who was going to be curating this year's Meltdown festival at the Royal Festival Hall. And we haven't been disappointed. For 2005 the RFH have managed to draw out another famously reclusive rock icon: Patti Smith. The Guardian reported yesterday that "the godmother of punk rock" will......

Londonist is a little overexcited about Channel 4's new series The Heist which starts tomorrow. The premise of assembling "a gang of authentic criminal masterminds to attempt the perfect crime." sounds right up our street, but, as usual with these types of things, reality is way more interesting. Over the weekend The Times reported that the three gamblers who managed to take £1.3m off the Ritz casino nine months ago, have been allowed to......

We haven't posted much about the Olympic bid recently. Mainly because you can read about it just about everywhere, but also because we're sick to the back teeth of it. When it gets to the point where they're using the DLR as a promotional tool then, to be honest, we just stop listening. But even we have to admit that the latest promotional release from London's 2012 team is pretty impressive. At four minutes......
