The Black Keys, Alexandra Palace - review
Music: Clattering drums and raw guitar riffs - in our era of airbrushing and auto-tuning, this Ohio duo are a definitive argument for keeping things rugged and real....read
The Woman In Black - review

In the Land of Blood and Honey, Berlin Film Festival - review
Film: No one could complain of a lack of audacity in Angelina Jolie's first film as director. It's a very brave and far from obviously commercial effort, from a film-maker who clearly knows what she's doing behind the camera....read
