Our weekly roundup of film reviews returns, courtesy of James Bryan… As we wallow in the truly miserable news that Aliens Vs Predator made more money at the box office last week than No Country for Old Men, we sigh and turn our attentions to this week’s offerings. The three biggest releases this week are all stamped with Oscar. We’ve got Johnny Depp singing in Cockney and slicing throats in Sweeney Todd, Tommy Lee......

After a brief hiatus, we’re back with lots of fun things to do this week from the comfort of your own home. Get cozy on the couch with a cup of tea, because there are lots of things to watch this week. On TV, Londonist likes: Tuesday, 16 October Britain's Biggest Storm (ITV1, 21:00-22:30) If your interest was piqued by this week’s Monday Miscellanea, you’ll want to catch this documentary on the 20th anniversary......

It looks like summer might actually have arrived in London this week, but if you're determined to stay inside, here are a few things to help you bide the time. On TV, Londonist likes: Monday, 3 September – Wednesday, 5 September Dumped (Channel 4, 21:00-22:00) We’ve already told you about this interesting concept involving contestants living on a rubbish dump, and since you’re no doubt looking to fill the Big Brother void in your......

There are a million things to do in London this week, but if you fancy a night in, here are a few things to keep you occupied. On TV, Londonist likes: Monday, 2 July - Friday, 6 July Wimbledon Today (BBC2, 20:00-21:00) Chances are, your workplace won’t let you watch Wimbledon during the day, so here’s your chance to catch up all week. Watch and see how many ways they can come up with......

Fell City Girl consist of Phil McMinn on vocals/guitar, Joe Gibbons on guitar, Adam Drake on bass and James "Shrek" Pamphilon on drums. They've been around a couple of years now, and by all accounts have been pretty busy boys, opening both the Carling Reading and Leeds weekends, supporting Longview on a UK tour and playing three sell out gigs in their native Oxford's Zodiac. They say they're here to break your heart and......

This week I've been getting really excited about all the new bands I keep seeing and hearing. Since starting to play gigs in Lewisham and meeting a lot of the Lewisham/New Cross bands I've been impressed not only by the music but by the sense of community they're building up and the DIY attitude they display in every aspect of their work. They're just doing their thing, releasing independent EPs and split singles, gigging all......

After getting thoroughly soaked this morning on the way to work (TV Troll's tolerance for H2O is somewhere around the level of the Wicked Witch of the West's) , we are in need of a nice night at home in front of the telly - and what a night it will be, oh yes. The problem is going to be deciding which channel to watch. For those who fancy a lot of back-slapping, a......

As if it's not fantastic enough having a huge great elephant wandering around town, very soon we might also get to witness Jack Bauer scurrying around the streets of the capital. Yes, that's right, Keifer and the rest of the 24...erm...posse are apparently coming to London to film the movie version of the series. Sutherland told Jonathan Ross that "We'll shoot the film here. We're really excited about it. In the US 24 was......

Set your alarms, get your diaries out, write a reminder on the back of your hand with a biro, because Alan Moore is on the gogglebox tonight. BBC2's The Culture Show is featuring the bearded warlock and undoubted genius tonight in a 'rare television interview': In a row of terraces in Northampton lives a tall, bearded man called Alan Moore. You might never have heard of him, but he’s an internationally loved writer credited......

Well, TV Troll was 50% right, which is better than nowt, as salt-o'-t'earth Strictly Come Dancing winner Darren might say. We're still kicking ourselves for not having put money on Shayne to win as we predicted aaaages ago; we could have bought new cushions for the dungeon or something with the winnings. Congrats to the winners and the runners-up; both finals were superb, although it was a pain in the arse having to swap......

Rejoice! If you have a digibox, at least - if you don't, then go and get yourself one. For Lemmy's sake, they're only thirty quid or so from the supermarket. And, once you have one, you can watch More4, the new Channel 4, uh, channel, which launches tonight at 8pm. A new freeview digital channel, you say? Isn't there one of those launched every day? Ah, but More4 is going to screen The Daily......

If you're a fan of Eastern cinema then try and read this post with a defibrillator handy because the Firecracker film festival lineup is one of artery exploding brilliance. We'll try and ease you into it gently by simply stating that it runs from the 8th to the 18th of September and makes its home at the Curzon Soho, Curzon Mayfair, Genesis Whitechapel and Gate Notting Hill. The festival will also... oh fuck it.......

We just had the first eight movies confirmed for this year's FrightFest and the news made us very happy. Land of the Dead is set to kick things off and there's a chance that George Romero himself will be on hand to introduce it. That will help calm the annoyance we feel at having to wait so long for the damn thing. The first part of the epic Russian horror trilogy Night Watch is......

How did we miss this one? David Hasselhoff turned up at a pub in Brixton the other weekend, because the club night they had on there was named after him. Apparently Germany's favourite pop star decided to pop along to the Telegraph pub's Hasselhoff Scandal night because he "loved the flyer featuring a young semi-naked Hasselhoff". The Telegraph's promotion manager is quoted as saying "A few of us came up with a name for......
