29 September 2007Gay NYPD officer suing for discrimination + An gay police office has claimed that he was threatened with violence and verbally abused by fellow officers and was treated unfairly by supervisors at the New York Police Department (NYPD).Michael Harrington, 30, made the claims in a lawsuit filed with the Manhattan Supreme Court.Other officers called him a "faggot" and one said he would hurt Mr Harrington if confronted, he claims. -
29 September 2007Will shamed Senator Larry Craig resign tomorrow? 7 Tomorrow, is the day by which Senator Larry Craig said he would resign from office after he was arrested in an airport bathroom sex sting, but it appears the embattled Republican isn't necessarily going anywhere any time soon.Shortly after Craig pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, the Idaho senator said he would try to clear his name before the proposed resignation date. -
29 September 2007The Kingdom + Thanks to the generally pro-Britain approach of the United States in the early years of the Second World War, Hollywood began producing movies about the war long before America even entered the conflict - all staunchly pro-Allies.It wasn't until the mid 1960s that any Second World War films began to emerge that were even vaguely critical of any Allied soldiers, or that dared to suggest that, well, maybe it wasn't quite as simple as "all Germans and Japanese are evil" as the movies seemed to make out. -
29 September 2007The Heartbreak Kid + In the late 1990s, it looked as if the Farrelly brothers were the next big thing in Hollywood comedy. -
29 September 2007The Invasion + In today's world of increasing paranoia over the creeping powers of state surveillance, where parallels to Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and the Red Scares of the 1950s are made in the West's liberal press on an almost daily basis, it seems a fairly obvious choice to look to old Cold War parables for sources to rework for the present day.But in hunting them out, it seems rather bizarre to opt for one of those that helped add to the paranoia, rather than point out the insanity of the situation. -
29 September 2007Ratatouille + Despite the vast majority of modern computer-animated children's films revolving around talking animals being derivative and uninspired, with even the latest Shrek movie having lost much of the lustre that made its predecessors so much fun, every now and then the genre still throws up the odd gem.With the behind-the-scenes talent involved in this latest outing from animation giants Disney and Pixar - notably writer and co-director Brad Bird, the chap behind the entertaining The Incredibles and superb The Iron Giant - the signs were always good. -
29 September 2007Stardust + The second directorial effort from British producer Matthew Vaughan, who prior to his debut with Layer Cake in 2004 was best known variously as the best mate of director Guy Ritchie or the husband of supermodel Claudia Schiffer, is a surprising change of direction.After all, Vaughan started out closely associated with the late-1990s revival of the British gangster movie after successfully shepherding Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels to worldwide success. -
29 September 2007Rendition + After the high-octane actioner The Kingdom earlier this month, now we get the more subdued, darker side of the war on terror with Rendition.Picking up on one of the most disgraceful aspects of America's current counter-terrorism strategy, it is an overdue high-profile bit of publicity for an aspect of the current war that has received far too little attention from both press and public alike. -
29 September 2007Sicko + Michael Moore's stock has fluctuated wildly over the last six or so years. -
29 September 2007The Lookout + The directorial debut of screenwriter Scott Frank, unsurprisingly also the writer of this intriguing thriller, is something that fans of intelligently constructed films should be anticipating with relish.Best known in Hollywood as a script doctor, working on films as diverse as Minority Report and The Interpreter, it is for two solo screenplays based on Elmore Leonard novels for which film buffs should thank him.
