Things about Roxy Music
 
1)     Not only were Roxy Music not quite like anything else, but there’s nobody who immediately springs to mind who subsequently managed to be quite like Roxy Music. Given that they’re over 40 years old now and pop seems to have been eating itself and nothing but itself for the last 20 of…

I like Broken Arrow. Or possibly I like John Travolta in Broken Arrow. Or, more accurately, I like watching John Travolta enjoying being in Broken Arriw far more than the film itself appears to warrant. Either way, it passes the time. And they're only on a train for a tiny but of the film, aren't they? That's like…
