Melancholia starts with a number of very slo-mo shots, nothing making particular sense – at this point, even if I was to try and describe them, such as a horse falling down backwards, a woman walking across a golf course with her child on her back and her feet going down into the ground, and [...]
As The Devil’s Double begins, Latif Yahia (Dominic Cooper, below) is being driven to meet one of Saddam Hussein’s sons, Uday. It soon becomes clear to us that they are more than just a little bit alike, not least because they are both played by the same actor. To the characters, they know each other [...]
Kill List gets off to a powerful start with a domestic row between ex-soldier Jay (Neil Maskell, below) and Shel (MyAnna Buring, bottom picture) about… well, what do married couples usually argue about? Money. The problem is that he’s been out of work for the past 8 months and has no job prospects other than [...]
Howard Jones burst onto the UK pop scene back in 1983 with the hit New Song, making No.3, following it up soon after with What Is Love? at No.2 and a string of hits from his first two albums, Human’s Lib and 1986′s Dream Into Action, for me, both iconic albums of their time. I [...]
When it comes to this Howard Jones performs Dream Into Action & Human’s Lib at the Indigo2, I expected the albums to come one after the other, in order, and with the track listing in the original order, but changing things up a bit, as Howard clearly likes to experiment given the new videos commissioned [...]

Relive the Swinging 60s and the birth of British fashion in WE’LL TAKE MANHATTAN, out on DVD on 30 January 2012, from Universal Playback. Take home the compelling true story which defined style for a generation in this one-off drama starring Karen Gillan (Doctor Who).
Shown on BBC Four on Thursday 26 January 2012, We’ll Take Manhattan focuses on an unpredictable and electric photoshoot for British Vogue in 1962 New York. It reveals how visionary photographer David Bailey (Aneurin Barnard – Ironclad) refused to conform and insisted on using an unconventional and unknown model for the June cover, Jean Shrimpton (Gillan). Over the course of a freezing week in Manhattan, David Bailey realised he had found his muse – someone both he and his camera had fallen in love with. Having thrown out the rule book he made startling and original photographs, which changed the face of fashion and catapulted Shrimpton into celebrity status as one of the world’s first ever supermodels.

Melancholia starts with a number of very slo-mo shots, nothing making particular sense – at this point, even if I was to try and describe them, such as a horse falling down backwards, a woman walking across a golf course with her child on her back and her feet going down into the ground, and Kirsten Dunst holding up her hands to see electricity shooting out of them, until eventually, a huge planet crashes into – and through – the Earth, wiping it out. Deep bass rumbles kick in and the words “Lars Von Trier’s Melancholia” appear. And then the film proper starts… |
As The Devil’s Double begins, Latif Yahia (Dominic Cooper, below) is being driven to meet one of Saddam Hussein’s sons, Uday. It soon becomes clear to us that they are more than just a little bit alike, not least because they are both played by the same actor. To the characters, they know each other already and have done so since school, and Uday wants Latif to come and work for him in Baghdad. As him: his double. If he refuses? Well, he has every right, but if he does then all of his family will be thrown into the prison at Abu Ghraib. And if he accepts? Well, of course he has no choice, but in any event, he certainly won’t be allowed to contact them while working as Uday, which involves learning Uday’s life story. But how long can he stick it out for? |
