They say rock music was invented by a man, so cool for school that he wore only the finest fitted leather trousers. They were wrong. Rock music was invented by three rocking gents and one kickass lady. Rock music was invented by Solitude.
Supported on their last tour by Panic! At The Disco and Take That, they’ve become known as heavyweights in an industry full of corruption and scandal. Fighting aside rumours of a split, they’ve just released their fourth album, “Love can exist between two men” – featuring their hit new song, “Don’t let my son go down on me” and their hugely successful cover of “It’s Chico Time!”.
It’s hard to say what the future holds for these fiery rockers, but what we can say, is that 2007 will be the year of long hair, stripey jumpers, and Solitude. Rock on.

So I went to see The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift last night, expecting it to be a travesty of a film and guess what? Yes, that’s right, it wasn’t. As far as acting goes, it’s not exactly up there with Amelie, in the lead role you’ve got Caleb from American Gothic (though no longer about ten years old, but with the same odd accent) and an odd supporting role from Lil’ Bow Wow (who I might add is alright really).
Acting aside, I’d argue the real stars are the cars, which are so ludicrously over the top it has a kind of reverse effect of not actually seeming that stupid (apart from Lil’ Bow Wow’s car, that’s just wrong). If you can forgive the first hour’s mindless crashing and trashing (I whinced, more than once) of some sweet little motors, then you’ll thoroughly enjoy the next forty-odd minutes worth of “drifting”.
So, to conclude, if you’re after a fun film to watch that doesn’t require any thinking power whatsoever then I’d gladly recommend this. It’s harmless, and not as bad as those boring wannabe film-bores might suggest.
I would give this film 6/10, terrible acting but good entertainment, Japanese women are hot and the soundtrack is awesome.
