|   | Have you ever found yourself watching a comic book hero film wondering, "am I eight years old, what on earth am I doing? There are people running around in their underpants with lasers coming out of their eyes, and I'm taking it seriously!"
Well, Christopher Nolan's latest Batman outing shows us why that's OK.
Nolan's The Dark Knight is layered like the proverbial onion, with its concurrently running concepts vying for attention in a heady brimming yarn.
There is, of course, the Hollywood veneer with all its high-paced action and swooping visuals, but this is cleverly interwoven with a discussion on American domestic policy, terrorism, moral ambiguity, psychosis and nihilism.

|  | I've always been a huge Pearl Jam (pictured) fan since my teens as they sat unattainably on my top five bands to see before I die list.
Could a tribute act satiate my ambitions?
The Spring and Airbrake was dark and well populated, but not exactly heaving.
The crowd ranged from aging die-hard Pearl Jam lovers adorned with tour T-Shirts, a few people that had heard Alive on Jools Holland and came down for the craic, and a couple of emo girls who looked like they had turned up on the wrong night.
I didn't know what to expect from the Pearl Jem tribute band, I was joined by two friends I'd known since my teens with whom I'd spent countless hours discussing the band's famous bridge during their version of Porch unplugged; Eddies part in the band's change of direction during Vitalogy; the influence of their time as Temple of the Dog; Eddie’s progression as a guitar player; Mike McCready’s tone and its similarity to Stevie Ray Vaughn; their frequency of use of e-bows in recent albums; the reflective subtexts in Riot Act; the models of guitar each member uses; which drummer has been the best; the cross over of subject matter between albums such as P-R-I-V-A-C-Y and In My Tree; their involvement in politics and World Wide Suicide's blatant message, their record sales; how they met; is Eddie still Pro-Choice?… in short, we knew the band inside out.

Well now is your chance to give those pipes a public airing by getting yourself down to the Bambu Beach Club who are looking for a girl or guy with star quality to represent Northern Ireland in a UK wide singing competition known as 'Wannabe'…
