New Moon is nothing if not an international advertisement for the hungry virtues of virginity and young people can’t get enough of it

Kitchen W8 is a bargain for this area, if such sophistication is what you crave
Kitchen W8
Too long and drawn out but very entertaining with excellent special effects
This is a peculiar play and does not work for me. Some of it is very funny but there are real flaws
Alex has a strong powerful voice and was faultless, she is far better now than she was on the X-Factor

Dir: Brian De Palma.
Cast: Al Pacino, Steven Bauer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Robert Loggia, Michelle Pfeiffer
Description: Gun-toting crime saga chronicling the rise and fall of Tony Montana, a lieutenant for powerful South Florida druglord Frank Lopez in the early '80s. Tony harbours desires for Frank's sultry mistress, Elvira, but is also strangely protective of his sister Gina. As Tony rises up the ranks and slowly succumbs to the product he peddles, his downfall is assured.
Country: US. 1983. 169mins
Based on the 1932 classic by Howard Hawks, a director few would even try to copy, Brian De Palma’s 1983 version has Al Pacino as Tony Montana, a two-bit hood from Cuba who makes it big in the drug trade.
His performance is spectacularly, sometimes gloriously, over the top as Montana sniffs enough cocaine to sink a battleship and luxuriates in a huge bathtub in his absurd mansion.
Oliver Stone wrote the screenplay and De Palma provides some notable sequences.
To call the whole thing visceral is a palpable understatement.
It goes on even longer than Tarantino but with much, much more flair.
