Jaws hit the big screen half a century ago. It subsequently became the pioneer of the “summer blockbuster” in the US, and pretty much an instant global sensation. To celebrate the 50-year anniversary of this phenomenon, special screenings are being p...
So, it’s back at the beginning of this year and I’m randomly searching the wonderful wild Web to see if any of my favourite “old-timers” are playing live in concert in the upcoming year. I stumble on to some site in England: UNDERWORLD WILL BE LIVE I...

[apologies, I couldn't resist]
