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......

Our weekly roundup of film reviews returns, courtesy of James Bryan… This week, the Coens’ masterful noir No Country For Old Men, the dire AVPR (don’t ask), a spoof musical biopic Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and Gwyneth Paltrow in The Good Night. No Country for Old Men arrives in the UK soaked in rapturous Stateside reviews. It’s the latest from critical darlings the Coen Brothers (The Big Lebowski, Raising Arizona, Fargo etc.)......

Texas is thawing, the Northeast is freezing, and a sort of natural order seems almost restored to the Ist-A-Verse. Almost. Londonist HQ—that is to say, the city of London—was battered by heavy winds, making it a bad time to be a twelve-meter (nearly forty-foot) tall snowman. Still, not everyone decided to keep warmly covered. Meanwhile, back indoors, the Big Brother racism is now causing all kinds of headaches for international diplomats, and Londonist got into......

We never got Pamela Anderson. Or Baywatch for that matter. A show about a talking car we get, but a bunch of idiots running around on a beach? No thanks. Then there was that sex tape thing, but she was fucking the dude from Motley Crue (and the idiot from Poison). If it had been Lemmy we may have shown a little interest, but the Crue sucked, so we had no interest in seeing......

Yellow Gentlemen is a new play, opening next week as part of the China in London season. Written by Benjamin Yeoh who has been described as one of the hottest new writing talents since featuring in the Battersea Arts Centre New Writing season in 2004, the play is a contemplation of lead character Tommy Lee's life. He is old and dying and waiting for his daughter to come to him. But before he can......

We figured after yesterday's love of The JCB Song you may be worrying that Londonist is getting a little soft. To rectify that we decided to trawl up some METAL* news for you and prove we're still caught in the proverbial mosh. First up hands up everyone who remembers Poison. Nice. They were of course the straight to video version of Motley Crue - Christ knows what that makes Tigertailz (from Wailz). Anyway we......

OK, so this isn't strictly London related but how could we pass up an opportunity to bring you another story concerning our favourite drummer and drummerer, Tommy Lee. Seems as if an entire truckload of Tom-Tom's (that's a drum pun dear readers, a bad one, but a pun none-the-less) new album, Tommyland: The Ride, destined for our shores was half-inched from it's Hamburg depot by a gang of ruthless thugs (we made that bit......

Before we get onto the subject of this week's telly recommendations, let's remind ourselves of Saturday's miscarriage of justice, when Maria was voted off X Factor. Even Simon admits he made a mistake in choosing the Conway Sisters (for those who don't watch X Factor, the Conways are like standing knee-deep in the Irish Sea on a wet Tuesday in October while someone slaps you in the face with a rotting plaice, except rather......

Tommy Lee's in town. Don't worry about your other daughters though, he's left the rest of the Crue behind. Strange things are going on in the space within Lee's cranium known as Tommyland. Not only is he over here promoting his utterly bollocks new single, Good Times (out Monday), and equally bollocks new solo album, Tommyland, The Ride (Monday week), but he then went and cancelled the launch party. Seems it was worth losing......

It seems we haven't been able to turn on the telly this week without catching a glimpse of Pamela Anderson. She's been touring the chat show circuit pushing her 'novel' Star (by the way, according to Amazon, customers who bought books by Pamela Anderson also bought books by these authors: Pat Riordan, Jenna Jameson, Stan Collymore, Paris Hilton, and Katie Price). Now Pammy has dared to go where only Batman has gone before: Buckingham Palace.......
