According to legend, a milkman turned up early one morning at Oliver Reed’s house to find the actor had been up all night and was not entirely sober. Legend is rather vague about the subsequent events, but the actor is supposed to have kidnapped the milkman and taken him to London for a two-day drinking binge of epic proportions. The milkman was duly sacked, but Reed took him on as a gardener...

By Matt Maul When District 9 came out, I was geeked to see it opening weekend. My older daughters wanted to go but my wife was busy.

Though he's turned to 'subtler' fare for his past few films, Cronenberg is best remembered for all the wild ideas given flesh by his early work. Films like Scanners, Videodrome, Dead Ringers , and The Fly have all assumed their rightful positions in the hierarchy of dark cinema, but reach back further, and you'll find some even stranger productions.

In the busy world we live in we forget the old fashioned ways, going to the shops to browse (although in this recession it returns with aplomb), all meeting in the town to chat, rather than texting and emailing. (I can remember the days before the mobile phone you know), and in my case I forgot my love of reading; too caught up in internet chat, and bubble gum news, and all the things that make the...
