Mash Up The Machinist
December 06, 2005

Just got around to watching Secret Window this weekend, which was good enough. Not sure how good it would have been without Depp but it was enjoyable enough in a Stephen King kinda way...

But last night we watched The Machinist, which has been sitting around here for about a month.

Apart from wondering how the hell Christian Bale managed to stay alive for the duration of filming there isn't anything too amazing about the storyline - You'll have seen most of it, in other films, before - the whole thing is a modern day Dostoevskyian nightmare, with nods towards Don't Look Now and a suggestion of an almost reverse Faustian pact [Who else could Ivan be?] - there are plenty of sign posts in case the plot gets too much for you. However, it is beautifully filmed [in Spain] and somehow the ending still leaves you a little surprised, mostly because there are so many obvious conclusions it could have come to.

Q-Unit: Queen and 50-Cent Mashup
Q-Unit is a mashup of 50-Cent and Queen, with tracks like This is How We Bite the Dust, Bohemian Wanksta and We Will Rock You in Da Club.Not quite the Grey Album but has it's moments and is bound to piss off a few people and that's what counts. But who first? The Queen camp or Fiddy's?
