So, we know that many of you are coming to London for Hamlet this summer. London is my favorite city and I am sure you guys will be blown away by what it has to offer. Our staff writer a_shibs and I have decided, that we want to make your trip planning a bit easier […]
Graham Moore’s Oscar award win is just over a month ago and with its Blu-Ray/DVD and iTunes releases, it’s about time to look at “The Imitation Game”’s historical accuracy. I won’t tear this important piece of film-making apart, don’t worry. The following won’t be a scientific piece of work including all the details and sources […]
ALEXANDRE Desplat talks of flying when he composes. And watching him conduct the London Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican last week, there were around 1,000 other people flying with him. I’ve never seen an orchestra perform before, shameful really, but true. I was excited to not only see how an orchestra worked in full motion, […]

We were both lucky enough to be able to attend the London Film Festival opening gala, which also happened to be the European premiere of Benedict Cumberbatch’s incredible new film The Imitation Game. Clare and I were able to experience the gala […]
Benedict Cumberbatch is in a good place. He is in demand, working almost non-stop and repeatedly names his job “an embarrassment of riches”. Which it is when you’re friends with Harvey Weinstein and put in front line of next year’s Academy Awards with Alan Turing drama “The Imitation Game” (UK cinecast Oct. 8th, UK release […]
So with ‘The Imitation Game’ fast approaching I notice many (myself included) have started taking a much more detailed interest into Alan Turing and his life and work. Now as much as I would highly recommend “Alan Turing – The Enigma” the biography by Andrew Hodges (which I am enjoying immensely!) I know that not […]
Sometimes I think Alan Turing’s sexual orientation shouldn’t be as much of a mention as it often is. He shouldn’t be known as a homosexual in the first place but instead as the extraordinary code-breaking, brilliant individual he was, thinking ahead of the time he lived in. Then again, Turing’s sexuality shaped his life and […]
How do you eat a banana? Did you make eye contact with the man who queued at the shops earlier? Did you catch yourself looking at that girl’s nicely shaped arse on the bus this morning? There’s no shame to admit it, it happens to all of us. We decide within moments whether another human […]
