How to Build a Time Machine is a clever introduction to theoretical physics; an engaging and entertaining read which covers the main areas of thought on the subject with a clear voice. It begins with a comprehensive introduction to Einstein’s theory of relativity, then takes us through a number of time travelling scenarios, before moving on to the all-important paradoxes of time travel.

All of which makes it required reading for anyone who wants to make - or watch - a time travel film.

Ten years ago, as the country of Rwanda descended into madness, one man made a promise to protect the family he loved - and ended up finding the courage to save over 1200 people. Hotel Rwanda tells the inspiring story of real life hero Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle), a hotel manager in Rwanda who used his courage and cunning to shelter over a thousand refugees from certain death. While the rest of the world closed its eyes, Paul opened his heart and proved that one man can make a difference.

Hotel Rwanda is released on DVD on 25th July. You can pre-order it now.

It appears that the kids are alright after all…

In his latest book, Steven Johnson argues that far from rotting out brains, popular culture is becoming more intelectually demanding and is actually good for us.

Popular culture is often seen as nothing more than the production of endless entertainment video games, computer games, hand-held games, movies and music on computers. It’s common currency to talk about the declining standards of today’s culture to say that modern media is dumbing us down. In this complex and tautly written book, Steven Johnson presents a radical alternative: mass culture is making us smarter by consistently demanding more of our brains. So whether you watch The Sopranos or Survivor, turn on and tune in.

Remember when alternative comedy was the alternative? If so, then this is a must-have DVD for you.

The Comic Strip team - which included the likes of Peter Richardson, Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmondson, Nigel Planer, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders and Alexi Sayle - are widely acknowledged as the founders of the alternative comedy, and were certainly the first to make it onto the small screen.

Channel 4 was approached by the team and convinced to commission a series from them, which was launched on the same day as the channel itself. And the face of British comedy was changed forever.

And now… 23 years later, the entire series is available on DVD. Go buy it.
