This year, it\u2019s also the month we get to see England sweat their way to a couple of draws before getting destroyed by the Germans in a certain football tournament.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, new releases are thin on the ground. Still, we\u2019ve managed to scrape together the best of the bunch of a little round-up of the latest movies, DVDs, CDs and games.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Music<\/h3>\n<h3>48:13 \u201d\u201c Kasabian<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ST6nEvIEY4s\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In a stroke of marketing genius, the clever lads in Kasabian have decided to release their latest bout of lad-based lager rock than during the World Cup, which should ensure that you hear at least 2 of the tracks off this album over a montage in June.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re also playing <a title=\"some festival or something\" href=\"https:\/\/www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk\/\">some festival or something<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The early signs suggest that <em>48.13<\/em> sounds&#8230;well, like a Kasabian album. Nothing more, nothing less. If you like that sort of thing (i.e. Kasabian), then you\u2019ll probably love this.<\/p>\n<h3>Lazaretto &#8211; Jack White<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cYF0LtfUvJs\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Jack White has been around for what seems like forever, so we were surprised to hear that <em>Lazaretto<\/em> is actually only his second solo album. Expect dirty rock n\u2019 roll with White\u2019s trademark wails layered over the top. Don\u2019t expect a female drummer who may or may not be White\u2019s sister\/ex-wife.<\/p>\n<h3>The Hunting Party &#8211; Linkin Park<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Nym1P-BO_ws\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Despite selling millions of records since, poor ol\u2019 Linkin Park still have the spectre of <em>Hybrid Theory<\/em> hanging of their heads; they\u2019re even playing it in full at this year\u2019s Download Festival.<\/p>\n<p>The shadow of their ultra-successful debut also hangs over <em>The Hunting Party<\/em>, their latest release. Various members of the band have described it as being like <em>Hybrid Theory<\/em> but more grown-up and more contemporary. Quite what that sounds like we don\u2019t know, but it\u2019ll be worth keeping an ear out for.<\/p>\n<h3>Once More Round The Sun &#8211; Mastodon<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L4PztrhXkXo\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Mastodon boys were once the toast of metalheads everywhere, but their 2011 album <em>The Hunter<\/em> finally introduced the band to mainstream audiences too.<\/p>\n<p>As with <em>The Hunter<\/em>, <em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Once More Round The Sun<\/span><\/em> promises to shy away from the bands sludge-y roots in favour of a classic heavy metal sound with a proggy edge. Even if the rest of the album is rubbish, this\u2019ll be worth it for the new single<em> High Road<\/em>, which is an absolute belter.<\/p>\n<h3>Live Life Living \u201d\u201c Example<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0wyoKWgy3SE\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s staple summer album comes from none other than Example, whose latest album is a collection of Balearic-style beats with massive choruses and a wee bit of rapping. It\u2019s pretty mindless, but you\u2019re guaranteed to hear it everywhere this summer so it\u2019s probably worth getting used to.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Films<\/h3>\n<h3>22 Jump Street<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qP755JkDxyM\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The sequel to the surprisingly popular remake of <em>21 Jump Street<\/em> reunites Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as cops who go undercover at college (y\u2019know, \u201d\u02dccos they did high school last time) to take down a drugs ring. It won\u2019t be big, it won\u2019t be clever, but it will be very, very funny.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and it also stars Kurt Russell\u2019s son, Brad Pitt and Ice Cube (he of F*** the Police fame) as a police captain. Excellent.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Train Your Dragon 2<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z9a4PvzlqoQ\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>How to Train Your Dragon 2<\/em> is going to be huge. Early reviews suggest its better than the first, with some even saying its better than the current animation flavour of the week, <em>Frozen<\/em>. The plot revolves around Hiccup and his Viking pals riding around the world on dragons, which sounds like one of the best premises for a film we\u2019ve ever heard.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, despite this, the film will probably never actually tell us how to train a dragon. Our letter to the Advertising Standards Agency is in the post already.<\/p>\n<h3>Mrs. Brown\u2019s Boys D\u2019Movie<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9yEy1zPEhyc\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Well, we all knew this day would come. After the rampant success of <em>The Inbetweener\u2019s Movie<\/em> and the less rampant success of <em>Keith Lemon: the Movie<\/em>, the inexplicably\/obviously popular (delete according to personal preferences) <em>Mrs. Brown\u2019s Boys<\/em> is going to be hitting the big screen.<\/p>\n<p>Plot details are thin on the ground, although a synopsis mentions Mrs. Brown saving her market stall from a ruthless property developer (AKA Plot #1 from \u201d\u02dcThe Big Book of Stock Comedy Movie Plots\u2019) with the help of some ninjas, an alcoholic solicitor and a barrister with Tourette\u2019s. Cue hilarity\/existential despair (delete according to personal preferences).<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Games<\/h3>\n<h3>EA Sports UFC<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d2xLW0NZCLw\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The pick of the bunch in what is a very scarce month for decent new games (hot weather, World Cup, etc), <em>EA Sports UFC<\/em> promises to bring everything you love about UFC \u201d\u201c kicking people in the face, breaking their bones and generally smashing people into a bloody pulp \u201d\u201c to your console.
