Beastie Boys - Hot Sauce Committee Part Two
Mike D, MCA and AD-Rock return with their confusingly titled eighth studio album (no Hot Sauce Committee Part One exists). Now in their fourth decade, the boys output never strays too far from the familiar - HSCP2 sees the Beasties revisit their old skool roots. It's familiar in the way a favourite meal or pair of slippers is. Not breaking too many boundaries these days then, but still relevant and more importantly, still good.

Psychoville BBC2 @ 10pm
It's not that theview doesn't like TV (some of it is on a par with the best cinema) but it's the one thing I've always left off the blog. It wasn't really a conscious decision, more of a given almost. But today all that changed, I learned Psychoville was returning to our screens and with it all those maladjusted (and brilliant) characters of the first series - terrifying childrens 'entertainer' Mr Jelly is probably my personal fave. Be excited, but mostly be afraid!!!

Hanna
Directed by Joe Wright (of Atonement fame), Hanna tells the tale of a 16 year old girl, raised by her father to be the perfect assassin (for reasons which become clear). A strong ensemble cast features Saoirse Ronan as Hanna, Eric Bana as her father and Cate Blanchett as the corrupt CIA agent Hanna must eliminate, this movie promises thrills and spills aplenty.
