Movie Review: No Country for Old Men
Reel Weekend | 18 January 2008
The Coen brothers return to cinemas this week with their acclaimed new thriller No Country For Old Men, and if you were starting to wonder if Joel and Ethan had lost it following their last two films, let us assure you that No Country is a huge return to form. The film stars Josh Brolin as a Texan tough guy who runs off with $2m that he finds at the scene of a bungled drug deal it's a western, a thriller and an art-movie rolled into one, and kicks off 2008 in formidable style.

Reel Weekend | 18 January 2008
This week sees Tarantino's Death Proof arrive on DVD, giving us all a chance to see how it fairs on the small screen. Kurt Russell plays the murderous Stuntman Mike, who preys on innocent young women with his souped up, specially adapted Chevy Nova. There's plenty of hip, pop culture-savvy dialogue, shocking moments of blackly funny violence and a groovy collection of 70s tunes on the soundtrack, but is that really enough to class Death Proof as a great film?

Movie Review: Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
Reel Weekend | 18 January 2008
Walk Hard is a spoof of the musical biopic, most notably the Johnny Cash movie Walk The Line, but with elements of Ray, The Rutles and of course This Is Spinal Tap thrown in for good measure. Its the story of Dewey Cox, a good ol' boy from the wrong side of the tracks, and his ascent through the world of country music. John C Reilly gives the character of Dewey far more depth than youd expect, and embraces the chance to make himself looks ridiculous in nearly every scene.
Apple presents the MacBook Air
Crave TV | 17 January 2008
Steve Jobs once again had the world hanging off his every word this week as he presented the Apple keynote at Macworld 2008 and once again he delivered the goods, wooing the crowd with the MacBook Air. Measuring 19.4mm at its thickest end and weighing just 1.36kg, it's Apple's thinnest, lightest laptop yet small enough to fit into an envelope. He also announced upgrades to the iPhone, the iPod Touch and Apple TV, and launched iTunes movies to rent. Catch CNET.co.uk's highlights here...
Gadget Reviews | 17 January 2008
There's no mistaking where the Samsung F700 takes its design inspiration from it's a dead ringer for the iPhone. But while Apple's phone is hamstrung by its limited EDGE system, the F700 has full-blooded HSDPA mobile broadband. Can its interface bear the same comparison, though?
CES: Kenwood goes to town on a 1956 Chevy Bel Air
Crave TV | 17 January 2008
CNET.co.uk's Rory Reid was caught drooling over this 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and for good reason. It may look pretty standard on the outside, but inside it has a fully motorised dashboard. Hit the button on the key fob, and out pops a tray containing an Xbox 360 controller and an iPod nano. From here, you can enjoy a spot of Halo 3 on the 7-inch in-dash display, or bump some 'choons' through the speakers, which seem to be located in every possible orifice of the car.
Movie Trailers | 16 January 2008
An early look at the forthcoming movie from those clever chaps at Pixar, probably the most consistent studio working in either animation or live-action film-making today. Not much is known at the moment but Wall-E looks to be another excellent addition to their filmography in a futuristic tale of a lonely robot who discovers his true self. We'd also surprised if there wasn't a Randy Newman song somewhere on the soundtrack.
