These guys focin ROCK!! Went to see them at The Shepherds Bush Empire, I was blown away by their performance. Great fun, brilliant percussive playing with Acoustic guitars.
Hi five?
So, had to go and see the most hyped up film of the moment, although I’d probably seen enough clips on utube already to assemble a mini borat movie myself.
From the start it seemed to me that some of Borats inspiration must have come from the satirical guide to the fictional country of Molvania. And just like the book, we laugh but then feel slightly guilty about taking such a condescending and derogatory stance on some Eastern European countries.
The movie moves on quickly to the scenes in New York and across to California, where Borat uses his clever interview technique ,which he honed to perfection on the Ali G show, whereby hapless Americans are tricked into saying things that reveal some very alarming, amusing and shameful truths about themselves.
Overall not a bad movie, but it is definitely more of a cringe and laugh nervously film than an outright funny, side splitting comedy.

Its freezing outside. Unlike my last flat in Vauxhall, aka THE FREEZER, this one is suitable for Nordic types who believe that there really isnt any reason for your house to be cold, no matter what the outside temperature.
