Movie Review: All the Boys Love Mandy Lane

Peugeot 308 S: Even diesels can rock
Car Tech | 12 February 2008
The Peugeot 308 S may be a diesel but don't let that put you off – it comes with bucket-loads of cool gadgets to mess around with. Our favourite additions include an electronic speed-limiting system that prevents you from going above whatever speed you set it to. Then there's the in-dash MP3 system, integrated iPod connector, an eight-speaker sound system with optional subwoofer, and the coup de grace: a panoramic sunroof with an electrically sliding cover.
Movie Review: There Will Be Blood
Reel Weekend | 07 February 2008
There Will Be Blood, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, is serious cinema – two-and-a-half hours of weighty drama, moral complexity and epic storytelling. Director Paul Thomas Anderson, who previously brought us the likes of Boogie Nights and Magnolia, makes his intention clear from the very start, opening with an entirely dialogue-free 15-minute prologue that will really sort the men from the boys among audiences...
Music Videos | 07 February 2008
Mask-clad quartet Clinic's 'Free Not Free' is somewhat comparable to a particularly strong cup of coffee – a dark, immersive experience with a beautifully bitter aftertaste. The track is released along with 'Thor' as a download single, which you can get for free by clicking on the link below. Following their Visitations album and Funf collection, on 7 April the band will release their fifth studio album Do It, which includes these two songs, on Domino.
Reel Weekend | 07 February 2008
There seems to be an unofficial rule in Hollywood that every year a small unassuming indie movie does battle with the big budget goliaths for box office and Oscar success. Last year it was Little Miss Sunshine, and this year it falls upon the slender shoulders of Juno. This witty comedy drama is the surprise fifth Oscar nominee for Best Picture this year, and more than holds its own against its more high profile rivals. It's the story of a 16-year-old girl from a small town who upon the discovery that she has fallen pregnant decides she must find more responsible parents for her as-yet unborn child...
Movie Review: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Reel Weekend | 07 February 2008
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly tells the extraordinary true story of Jean-Dominique Bauby, the one-time editor of the French edition of Elle magazine, who in 1995 suffered a stroke that left him entirely paralysed except for his left eye. The film is directed by painter-turned-director Julian Schnabel, and adopts an unconventional narrative technique to depict this remarkable story of triumph over tragedy.
