Reel Weekend | 14 March 2008
Director Brian De Palma returns to his low-budget roots with Redacted. The film was shot on high-def video for an American cable channel and looks at life in Iraq for a squad of American soldiers in typically controversial style. It focuses upon the brutal rape of an Iraqi girl by out-of-control American soldiers, and while it's not exactly subtle and doesn't tell us much we don't already know, it's pretty powerful stuff.

DVD Review: The Counterfeiters
Reel Weekend | 14 March 2008
For the second year in a row, Germany produced the Best Foreign Language winner at the Oscars, and like last year's The Lives Of Others, The Counterfeiters is a politically charged thriller about uncomfortable events in the country's past. This is a wartime tale, focusing on the uneasy relationship between the Nazis and Jewish counterfeiters, who were offered a slightly nicer life in concentration camps in return for creating fraudulent money and documents...
Video View: Elbow, Guillemots and Neon Neon
Encoded | 13 March 2008
We've lovingly picked our top three music videos of the week and, once again, with the help of Nate Lanxon, packed them into a tight little video jam jar, ready for you to view at your leisure. First up is 'Grounds For Divorce', the cheerfully named new single from Elbow, the video to which sees the band gigging in a classic 70s-style British boozer; 'Get Over It' is next on our list – it's the latest offering from experimental Scottish popsters Guillemots; and finally the amazing video for Neon Neon's 'I Lust U', which documents the tragic events at a jellyfish competition, had us transfixed. What are your thoughts on these? Let us know in the comments sections below.
Episode 3.1: Another fine Mesh...
Dialogue Box | 11 March 2008
In the first in this new series of Dialogue Box, ZDNet.co.uk's zany tech show, Rupert Goodwins and Charles McLellan examine three low-power laptops: Asus' Eee PC, the Intel Classmate PC and the OLPC XO. Not content with the constraints of the studio tests, however, the adventurous duo head out into the wild to perform a test of Mesh networking... and find themselves in familiar territory.
Gadget Reviews | 10 March 2008
Apple's new laptop, the MacBook Air, may not be a true ultraportable, but it still easily breaks new ground for small laptops. At just 19mm at its thickest part, Apple's so-called 'world's thinnest notebook' includes most of the usual MacBook features, plus a multi-touch touchpad that uses innovative gesture controls.
Movie Review: Diary of the Dead
Reel Weekend | 07 March 2008
Veteran horror filmmaker George A. Romero may not have invented zombies, but he pretty much invented the zombie movie as we know it back in 1966, with his undead classic Night of the Dead. George's now back with the latest in the Dead line of movies, Diary of the Dead. Luckily this isn't the tale of a lovesick, 30-something PR zombie keeping track of how many brains she's eaten in her secret diary – it's a low budget, handheld account of the outbreak of the zombie plague from the point of view of a bunch of irritating students.
Album Focus: Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks – 'Real Emotional Trash'
Encoded | 07 March 2008
For this week's Album Focus show, we've hand-picked Stephen Malkmus' new release, Real Emotional Trash, which is his fourth solo album since leaving Pavement, and came out on Domino Records last week. Like his previous band's releases, no two Malkmus albums are the same, and where on his last solo outing he delivered a collection of short, sweet, catchy pop songs à la Pavement's Wowee Zowee, Real Emotional Trash sees him return to the stoner retrospection of Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain.
Reel Weekend | 07 March 2008
Pete Travis' Vantage Point is very much a post-24 action thriller, with jerky handheld camera work, sweaty FBI agents running around and a real-time urgency to the plot. It focuses on the attempted assassination of the US president, played by William Hurt, at an anti-terrorism summit in Spain, and we see it from the perspective of eight individuals, including Dennis Quaid's secret service agent, Sigourney Weaver's newswoman and Forest Whittaker's camcorder-wielding tourist...
