Madonna’s directorial debut, FILTH AND WISDOM, is a hilariously sexy tale of three roommates who must delve into mischievous and naughty behavior in pursuit of bigger and brighter futures. A Ukrainian immigrant, A.K. (Eugene Hutz), finances his dreams of ‘trans-continental superstardom’ with his band, Gogol Bordello, by turning tricks as a role-playing cross dresser. As A.K. literally whips the privileged...

This incarnation of the Doctor is a curious one - terribly dark, morose even, and Cornell evidently sees it as the wrong direction entirely rather than a useful but...

Should black people be allowed to make films on their own? Opinion is generally divided between “No, Danny Glover’s just playing the race card” and “No, Danny Glover’s just being racist” If this were a white producer trying to get funding for an African film with no African heroes in it, or a Bollywood film with [...]

In the mid-nineties I used to dream of writing for Loaded magazine, with no trace of shame or furtive embarrassment. Sure, one month they’d have perky Jo Guest on the cover, or Liz Hurley in her underbashers, but that would be interspersed with Richard E Grant, Frank Skinner or Michael Caine.
