It’s Michael Fassbendmeover time! Giddy with excitement and filled with dread (like when your iPod shuffles from Coldplay to Steps and the clash of emotion makes you want to jump around while crying). We’ve all excited about the sexy Fass times but we’ve also heard it’s a bleak tale that will leave you feeling horribly, horribly empty… Our review will be here tomorrow.
This was a seriously pleasant surprise. Not the quality of the track - New York/Missouri band White Rabbits have been treating us to quality tuneage since 2007′s superb Fort Nightly - but how goddamn sexy this is. Heavy Metal is a slice of dirty, dusky funk-rock where one might expect the Rabbits’ customary punk-polka, and I like it very, very much. With new album Milk Famous due this March, Heavy Metal is available now as a free teaser for fans and a hook for new initiates. You should love it.

On the 29th December, I returned to my old stomping ground of Tallaght to review Kusanta Comedy Club. To be honest I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect.

With a release date in July, this will be the blockbuster of the summer. Tom Hardy plays Bane, Anne Hathaway Catwoman and an all-star cast which includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt may be a clue to how this trilogy will end. Fanboys have been circulating theories for months, but one fact is well known; this will be Nolan’s last Batman project as director and he will most definitely go out with a bang. 2. The Avengers All those side projects (Captain America, Iron Man, Thor) have been leading up to the big one. Oh, and by the way, 2012 will be Tom Hiddleston’s year…
