So, it’s that time of year again – the West End Eurovision video idents are out! (yes, I know I’m a few days off, it’s been a busy week heh) Whilst I am very sad not to be in attendance this year, I look forward to seeing the full entries from the night up on … Continue reading »

Rock Of Ages [2012] – Movie Trailer
