FILM REVIEW: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

This is Willy Shakes' play adapted for the screen by our very own movie-making king Kenneth Branagh.

Keep an eye out for the very sexy Robert (Sean Leonard) and Kate Beckinsale (Godber from Porridge's daughter).

It's a light romantic comedy with twists and turns - but all's well that ends well.

An excellent film, packed with loads of stars - not bad considering it only cost £7.5m to make!

Dolph Lundgren's Baby Oil, Birmingham

WARNING I EAT LETTERS THAT ARE TOO LONG

AND I'M GETTING FATTER ALL THE TIME

 

ALBUM REVIEW: RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE

This is a crunching debut from a band with a hard edge - they are undoubtedly one of the world's heaviest bands.

Standout cuts are the three singles, Killing in the Name, Bombtrack and Bullet in the Head - but all the tracks make the A-grade.

The hybrid of rap and hardcore rock along with Timmy C's Pepper-esque funky bass is an excellent mix.

Don't miss it.

Alan King, London

Wouldn't dream of it, Al. Keep raging!

RE: THE FRESH PRINCE OF LUTON

I've never read so much tosh in all my life! Rave doesn't even have the right to be called music - a drum machine, a keyboard tune and some pratt repeating the same lyric over and over doesn't make a song.

And lyrics ARE important - they're a form of poetry, they allow the song to have real meaning. Rave "lyrics" are mindless fluff.

Grow up Fresh, get into some real music.

Nuno's Plectrum, West Yorkshire

C'mon, rise to it, Fresh - FIGHT BACK!

IT'S GETTING HAIRY AT THE 'ZINE!!!

IN REPLY TO MISERY EATER'S REVIEW OF JASON DONOVAN ON TV

The song to which you refer as having Jase's own lyrics was not written by him but that craftsman of pop, Nik Kershaw - famous for 80s hits as well as The One And Only for Chesney Hawkes.

I'm not a particular fan of Jason but he obviously has an ear for a good song.

Misery Eater should get her facts right before making assumptions about things which she knows absolutely nothing.

Kate Bush's Lakky Band, Hull

Certainly sound like a HUGE fan to me!
