This will be the page to find out about the best bands, TV and films available. Maybe gigs if I can get enough info. Send all reviews, thoughts and info (dates, goss, etc.) to the usual address. This is going to be very much UK-biased as FortuneCity is UK based. (As far as I know. OK, so I am.) But the Internet is a big place and I would love to get reviews from other countries if you think they would be interesting. Especially Americans who get to see all the cool films much earlier than us Brits. Along with the films and bands there may be a list of web sites. Who knows? Keep those contributions coming thick and fast.
Jobs up for grabs (-groan, again?) yes sorry for all
this but we need reviewers of albums, singles, and films. It doesn't have
to be regular (as long as we get enough)
I don't know what will go here-possibly thoughts on new series on
terrestrial (not satellite) television, Internet related TV programs. Send
in reviews. Maybe a bit of soap info if I can find it. All ideas considered.
| LOST WORLD The sequel to Jurrasic
Park has been released in the UK and it is an improvement on the original.
Although the novelty value of the dinosaurs has worn off slightly from
the first film, improved special effects and action sequences continue
the suspense from beginning to end.

MEN IN BLACK Don't put this film
down as a sequel to Independence Day - the two are totally seperate. Tommy
Lee Jones and Will Smith play the mythical MiB's and fantastic special
effects combine with a very funny script to make a great film.

| EVENT HORIZON OK, I admit I had been working hard
and not had much sleep when I went to see Event Horizon at the cinema but
there is no excuse for a film which lets you fall asleep at the beginning.
It was very slow moving at the start, suddenly jumping into a blood and
guts special at the end. I wouldn't normally complain but it was over the
top and unrealistic. It seemed as if the majority of the film was blue
to compliment the explosions.
Some nice scenes (the airlock) but overall.. DON'T BOTHER |
