Apocalypse then by Ed Potton
(from The Knowledge Sept 13-19, 2008, p.12-13)
The fact that articles like this can be found online these days almost makes you wonder why they publish the magazine. Though, on the page it does have a review of the new DVD release (identical to the US one from a couple of years ago, by the sound of things). It comes in a Steelbook, which the people at The Times have obviously never heard of, bless them, as they insist on calling it a "steelbox". In a rare instance of Steelbook-beating, I prefer the US packaging.

David Blaine: death-dealer by Michael Joseph Gross
(from Telegraph.co.uk)
"'A lot of people in England don't like me for some reason,' Blaine continues." Because he's a pretentious show-off dick, a bit like Derren Brown only less entertaining and based on tricks of endurance rather than skill. This article does nothing to dispel such an opinion. In fact, if anything, it makes it worse.
