Rambles about the wonderful world of wrestling.
So Sonisphere have begun the process of fleshing out their undercard, which let’s face it, is really the best part of any festival.  As anyone who reads regularly (do those people exist?  I have no idea) will know, I have a ticket to this festival already so I have a slight (or possibly large) personal investment in it being good. So let’s see what they’ve given me.
“Some of these events are true”.  The words that open American Hustle are a fair reflection of the liberties this film has taken with the story of the Abscam con.  Directed by David S. Russell and seen by him as the spiritual third part of a trilogy that also includes The Fighter and Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle see’s the return of many of the stars who graced those previous efforts and much like those films, is well on it’s way to sweeping up this awards season.
So to continue my end of year round ups we have the top five gigs (that I attended, can’t really give my opinion on ones I wasn’t at) from this year.
So with albums down, I now move onto films.  I’m only going to do a top 5, mainly because I haven’t been reviewing throughout the whole year.  The list only includes post award season films.  With the thought being that you can find a million sources online to tell you why you should go see Lincoln etc.  I also don’t think many of them would make the list anyway.Â

So as the new year begins it’s time to look back over 2013 and talk about all that was good.  This was yet another incredible year for music and as usual lots of albums I really liked were unable to make this list, but that’s just the way it goes.  So without further ado here is 20 to 15 in my top 20 albums of the year.

Over the years Anchorman became such a big cult classic that it eventually left the word cult behind and now sits in many peoples head as just a pure classic.  Taking into account Hollywood’s love for a sequel, it’s no surprise therefore to see Will Ferrell and Adam McKay return to the news team for a whole new chapter in the tale of Ron Burgundy.
From Beer to Eternity is going to be the last album, at least for now, released by Al Jorgenson’s Ministry, following the death of guitarist Mike Scaccia.  It’s the industrial metal titans 13th album and will bring to end a career filled with a fair share of controversy.
