  • Monty Python's Flying Circus

    python-foot-dewolf.jpg 30 Musical Masterpieces
    By: Daniel Ross

    The De Wolfe vaults are clearly brimming with unheard treasures. What with last year's release of Shaw Brothers kung-fu soundtracks and the promise of a steady stream of other such gems to come, this curio comes as a revealing and welcome addition. It's not merely for the ageing comedy fuddies, either. Brushing aside John Philip Sousa's 'Liberty...

    If you're one of those people who "eat ham, and jam and SPAM a lot," then the musical "Spamalot" might be meant for you. If you liked the 1975 "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," or all things Arthurian, the coming "Spamalot" is for you, but what do you really know about SPAM?


    Of course, we're talking about that meat product,...

    jehova1.jpg Life Of Brian #1
    By: Kevin Maher and Wendy Ide

The film (released on July 10), say the reviews leaked online, “pushes boundaries further than Borat ever did” (according to the BBC).

    Peter Bradshaw makes a very interesting point about Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus (1960), which recently returned to British movie screens for one day only:

    The story of Spartacus reverses the Jesus myth: instead of getting sold out by his followers and dying a terrible death on the cross, Spartacus is protected by his troops, who...
