In Bruges Director and Writer: Martin McDonagh Cast: Colin Farrell Ralph Fiennes Brendan Gleeson Tag: Shoot first. Sightsee later. 'Sharp, witty and bleak hitman comedy that harks back to 'Get Garter' days and is easily one of the best films of 2008 so far.' Sam North - Hackwriters

FILM	BOOKS & MUSIC

2008 Iron Man Directed by Jon Favreau Starring Robert Downey jnr, Terrence Howard, Jeff Bridges, Gwyneth Paltrow Jack Clarkson review Nobody but Robert Downey Jr. himself could ever have played Tony Stark quite so well Wristcutters: A Love Story Director: Goran Dukic Patrick Fugit, Shea Whigham, Shannyn Sossamon Calvin Hussey review To judge a book, or DVD as it were, by its cover the title "Wristcutters" doesn’t exactly conjure up the most positive of images. The Beast Of Yucca Flats Directed by Coleman Francis. With Tor Johnson, Barbara Francis, Bing Stafford. Dan Schneider how I missed this is beyond me; especially given that its lead star is the truly legendary Tor Johnson, of Plan 9 From Outer Space infamy. Alien v Predator Requiem J A Laraque Alien vs. Predator Requiem is a dark film with little room for humans. Shoot ‘em Up Directed by Michael Davis, Starring: Clive Owen Daniel Alves ‘Shoot ‘em Up’ is a film about a man shooting things. Lots of things. It’s not a story about romance Jumper (2008) Director - Doug Liman Calvin Hussey Despite its intriguing premise Jumper seems to fall flat on its face in many key areas. Kidulthood - A Contemporary Classic Directed By; Aml Ameen Calvin Hussey A film deserving of being recognised as one of the great contemporary commentaries of our current times. Still out there- still brilliant The Oscar winner Juno (best screenplay) Burnout Paradise Developed by Criterion Games: EA Jack Clarkson review Burnout is about speed and pushing your reflexes to fighter pilot levels The History Boys by Alan Bennett Wyndhams Theatre Chris Churcher Alan Bennett's style of writing is as topical as ever

2008 Dr. King's Refrigerator, & Other Stories, by Charles Johnson Dan Schneider American novelist Charles Johnson has published three collections of short stories... this third collection, released by Scribner's in 2005, is by far the weakest. Paris Chic & Trendy by Adrienne Ribes-Tiphaine (The Little Bookroom) ISBN-13: 978-1892145536 Tiffany Lee review Paris Chic & Trendy is the ultimate handbag sized, fashionista bible. The Last Vampire, Red Dice & Phantom By Christopher Pike Chris Burden The Last Vampire is a series charting the adventures of Sita, a kick-ass five thousand year old vampire with an attitude. This is a high octane, gripping novel A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini Jenny Adamthwaite review A Thousand Splendid Suns follows the lives of two women born nearly twenty years apart. The Way I See It by Nicole Dryburgh Holly Bates The autobiography of a truly amazing woman, "The Way I See It" is Nicole Dryburgh’s account of the emotional and challenging years of her life from the age of eleven when she was diagnosed with a malignant tumour on her spine. Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips Charlie Dickinson The premise of Marie Phillips's debut novel, GODS BEHAVING BADLY, makes a certain sense if your old Methuselah self has been around a long time, say, even thousands of years. The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch Review by Jack Clarkson Scott Lynch seems to share the cynical imagination that Terry Pratchett used to make Discworld so popular. The characters were likeable and hate-able in all the right places. The Farewell Angel Carmen Martin Gaite Anna-Marie Dover Some works of fiction can be read in just a few sittings; others take somewhat longer. The Farewell Angel is not a book to be rushed. Submarine by Joe Dunthorne Lisa Timmermann Its unsympathetic protagonist should put off even the most insensitive reader. Fishing Explorer – a life at sea and a mystery Quentin Bates It’s been a good few years now since I met Ernie Suddaby. Someone mentioned to me that a former fisherman had a story to tell and had written a book about fishing that he was trying to get published –maybe we could help each other out? Women of Iron by Catherine King. Claire Holland review Set in the Yorkshire South Riding during the Industrial Revolution, the story takes place amongst the canals of Humberside and the barges that keep the lifeblood (the iron trade) flowing. Inca Trails by Martin Li Review by Lisa Timmermann A fascinating and engaging study of Bolivian and Peruvian culture and history, ‘Inca Trails’ narrates the author’s journey through the former birthplace and short-lived empire of the Incas. Another Place to Die – Sam North Calvin Hussey Stunning, scarily feasible, and extremely engrossing throughout,

2007 Best & Worst Movies of 2007 Hackwriters makes the list The Golden Compass Directed by Chris Weitz Sam North review 'Brilliant production. Mrs Coulter is truly evil. The Bear battles are terrifying, the daemons are just wonderful - Lyra is a tough little cookie. Roll on 'Subtle Knife'. Save The Cheerleader Heroes: A Cultural Phenomenon Calvin Hussey & Ruby Harrison Heroes is rapidly becoming a cultural phenonemon Control (2007) Directed by Anton Corbijn Russ Thomas Starring Samantha Morton and Sam Riley Control is the tragic story of Ian Curtis, ex-frontman for Joy Division Ratatouille Nicloe Folger This has to be the best Disney/Pixar film I have seen in an awfully long time. This is the one that will be joining the classics Superbad Greg Mottola (Director), Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg (writers) Russ Thomas Superbad is testament to the fact that teen movies based in and around American high schools will never be exhausted. Transformers Directed by Michael Bay - starring Shia LaBoeuf Jack Clarkson When I went to see Transformers it was a pleasant and heartwarming romantic comedy that I would have enjoyed even more if Michael Bay hadn’t kept bringing in all those scenes with the Giant Robots! The Lives of Others (Das Leben der Anderen)DVD Directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck 2006, Josef Fiser review There are different ways how film-makers from formal satellite states of the Soviet Union deal with their communist past. Reign Over Me (DVD review) Directed by Mike Binder Josef Fiser Dr. Johnson a dentist, meets his friend Charlie (A.Sandler) whose family died in one of the planes on 9/11, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder Babel (2006) Directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarrito Starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchette Tabitha Parkes A simple gunshot takes us on a journey from Morocco to America through to Mexico and into Japan The Invasion (2007) Dir. Oliver Hirschbiegel Starring Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig Stephanie Vile Review I was really excited to go and see this film because I like horror films. Borat: Dir. Larry Charles Emma King If there was ever a comedy that made such a phenomenal impact on its audience, it must be Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Shoot'Em Up Written and Directed by Michael Davis starring Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti, Monica Bellucci Sam North Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang, was smart as a whip and self knowing, Smokin’ Aces, was relentless and often funny, despite the inevitable bloodbath and Bourne Ultimatum was slick like a machine with dizzying but refreshing cinema verité action photography. So what the hell is Shoot Em’ Up? Heart Of Glass Dan Schneider German filmmaker Werner Herzog is not an artist to be underestimated, even in his lesser films, like 1976's Heart Of Glass (Herz Aus Glaus) because his films tend to have a cumulative power, The Wild Party Tiffany Lee Crash landing right in the middle of an age obsession with chaos and scandal, soon to be dramatic legend Rosie Kay has hurled at us a play that cannot be silenced. In Rainbows - Radiohead Aby Davis I bought Radioheads new album online. It set me back £1 FRESA Y CHOCOLATE (Strawberry and Chocolate) Dir: Tomas Gutierrez Alea & Juan Carlos Tabio Anne Marie-Dover A bigoted and fervently heterosexual young man and an older, decadent homosexual non-conformist artist is already very promising, the plot reveals a sensitivity that has made Fresas y Chocolate one of the most celebrated Latin American films of the 90’s. SAW 1V Director: Darren Lynn Bousman Calvin Hussey The film starts with perhaps the most climatic opening sequence of the series as we see a blinded man pitted against a silenced man in a high-octane clash V for Vendetta (DVD) Dir James McTeigue Robert Hillum When V for Vendetta was originally written, way back when, over two and a half decades ago, the political power was very different to the ones in power now, but being politics what very different is, eventually becomes the same. Brazil (1985) Directed by Terry Gilliam. Russ Thomas reappraisal With such films as Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Time Bandits behind him, one has to expect a little surrealism with Terry Gilliam This is England Directed by Shane Meadows Tiffany Lee Every now and then a film emerges that grabs you by the eyeballs and prevents you from ever being the same. Britain hasn’t achieved this since Ewan McGregor asked "who needs reasons when you’ve got heroin?" Black Sheep Madeleine Collis Never looking at sheep in quite the same way again is a by product of viewing "Black Sheep". Elizabeth: The Golden Age Dir: Shekar Kapur Anna-Marie Dover Brilliant costumes a historical drama do not make Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) Directed by Stanley Kubrick Paul Rumble Stanley Kubrick’s Cold War comedy is positively chilling. Despite the collapse of the Soviet Union over fifteen years ago, Dr. Strangelove still remains frighteningly relevant 300 (DVD) Directed by Zack Snyder Jack Clarkson World renowned historian Frank Miller enlightens us all on what really happened at the battle of Thermopylae. All Quiet On The Western Front (1930) Directed by Lewis Milestone Russ Thomas Few films can boast relevance to all eras. All Quiet On The Western Front, a 1930 screen adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's novel– written from a German perspective – is one of these films. Pride and Prejudice (BBC 1995) Director: Simon Langton Emma King Out of all the historical fiction out there, my favourite has to be the 1995 BBC’s six hour adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Munich Richard Parry On the 5th September 1972, with the Summer Olympics in their second week of competition, eleven members of the Israeli athletics team were killed in what would later become known as the ‘Munich Massacre’. Star Wars: A New Hope Dir. George Lucas Robert Hillum 1977 was a good year to be a geek. If there were a moment in time I would travel back to, this would be it. Perfume: A Story Of A Murderer Director: Tom Tykwer Aby Davis review The opening sequence of Perfume: A Story Of A Murderer stinks. I mean, it almost literally smells. Which is probably the affect director Tom Tykwer was after Deus Ex Developed by Ion Storm Jack Clarkso review "Deus Ex" is the first half of the Latin saying, "Deus Ex Machina", God from the machine. Nowadays it’s the term for a plot device in which something comes along and just makes everything better like some kind of narrative Chuck Norris.

2007 John Dies At The End by David Wong Jack Clarkson If Douglas Adams had written Horror instead of Science Fiction he would have written something a bit like this Kings of Leon Aby Davis review On the 10th of December 2007, the Kings of Leon opened their Birmingham NIA set in a burst of yowling voice and raunchy guitar. Behind You! by Linda Regan Daniel Alves review Life long feuds, unsolved hatreds, and more than enough lies to twist the plot into a maze. This detective novel boasts all the themes that darken in the eye of betrayal; sex, money, and murder. Understanding Miss Jones Alana Hebenton Bridget Jones’s diary chronicles the life of the attractive thirty something Bridget, round a year’s worth of her diary entries The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald Matt Alison On my recent rereading of The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald I felt that I truly grasped and appreciated the importance of this classic. Bob Dylan and his Band play Seattle Jeffrey Beyl listens to Modern Times I was eleven years old when I first heard Bob Dylan. I was singing what is still to this day my all-time favorite song, Mr. Tambourine Man. On The Road @ 50 Jack Kerouac's Peripatetic Ode You're not really writing a book till you begin to take liberties with it - Jack Kerouac James Campion Jean-Louis Le bris de Kerouac wrote the above in a 1949 journal two years removed from his first of three free-wheeling cross-country road trips Faculty of Color: Teaching in Predominantly White Colleges and Universities, Christine A. Stanley (Editor)Anker Publishing Company, 2006, pp373. Dr Mawan Asmar review Reem Al Haj Ali moved from being a dental student at the University of Jordan into an award winning professor at the School of Dentistry at the University of Missouri, Kansas in the United States. The Writing Escapade Marwan Asmar ‘Words and sentences take a life of their own, dancing in front of you, picking themselves up from the gray lines and pages and appealing to your senses and thoughts.' Turning The Wheel by Charles Johnson Dan Schneider Charles Johnson is a fictionist best known for his award winning novels like Oxherding Tale, Middle Passage, and Dreamer. He is one of the rare published writers and intellectuals willing to publicly state his displeasure with the current low state of American writing. Another Place to die by Sam North Ian Middleton Review A powerful portrayal of an underestimated threat. Fascinating, frightening and compelling read. After Dark by Haruki Murakami Sam North Review At last I thought, a new novel not a collection of short stories. The thrill of a new Murakami was present. I settled down to read and within one chapter I was once again wondering what has happened to this author... New Moon by Stepahnie Meyer Nicole Foulger review Stephenie Meyer loses none of the drama in New Moon the sequel to the breathtaking Twilight. We enter back into the mind and life of ordinary teen Bella who has the most extraordinary boyfriend-Edward Cullen, a Vampire. The Savage Altar by Asa Larsson A Josephine Green review The Savage Altar is Larsson’s first thriller and this unusual piece of detection takes us into the hidden depths of Sweden and a cult that holds many individuals secrets, lies and fates Perishable by Dirk Jamison Charlie Dickinson review Dirk Jamison's childhood memoir, PERISHABLE, is about, among other things, a dad who decides a few minutes of daily Dumpster diving will  put food on the table for the family. The Sorrows of Young Pamuk Istanbul: Memories of a City Stefanie Stiles Orhan Pamuk's Istanbul has the feeling of a biography written about a lost and lovely woman by a still-besotted ex-lover; it is an elegy for the city of Pamuk's youth. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak Sam North review 'Papa,' she whispered. 'I think I am going to hell.' Remarkable compelling WW2 story Salmonella Men on Planet Porno by Yasutaka Tsutsui Translated by Andrew Driver Sam North review 'A terrific introduction to this hilarious and perceptive Japanese Sci-Fi author.' The Frugal Book Promoter by Carolyn Howard Johnson Ian Middleton review of essential POD advice Swan Lake On Ice The Mayflower Theatre, Southampton Performances: Monday Feb 19th – Saturday Feb 24th Jo Green - A brillant night out Empire Falls by Richard Russo Dan Schnieder - a bad book by a bad writer The Rough Guide to Slovenia - Edition 2 By Norm Longley Ian Middleton review Insightful and informative, Rough Guide to Slovenia is an essential part of anyone’s Slovenia travel kit! White Teeth by Zadie Smith Dan Schneider I get really tired of negative criticism. In it, a reviewer who is scared shitless of making an enemy of a writer, or a publishing house, writes a few mild rebukes of the writer, but ...in the end praises the writer as being terrific, as a person, and that it was just this book, or a portion of it, that failed. Twilight by Stephanie Meyer Nicole Foulger A gripping romantic vampire story with bite... Everyman by Philip Roth Josef Fiser It just opens the door. It is like a picture, nicely painted picture which can just please you by its colours as well as take you as deep into life (and death) matters as you can stand. Londonstani by Gautam Malkani, Anna-Marie Dover Londonstani bursts with strong colours and fast action. Written in the first person, with a believable and strong dialogue, this novel’s vivid imagery jumps out of the page like a Roy Lichtenstein cartoon. Holly’s Inbox by Holly Denham Chris Burden Holly’s Inbox tells the story of this year’s Bridget Jones, Holly Denham, a lovable, modern woman with the flaws of a real person. Mansfield Park, by Jane Austen Madeleine Collis Yet Mansfield Park takes the feminine ideal in a direction so far north of any modern reality it’s almost unfathomable to believe in such a world. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Written By: Frank Miller 1986 Stephen Doyle The Dark Knight Returns is long considered to be one of ‘the’ graphic novels to be read. It is often held in high regard alongside Watchmen, Maus and The Sandman Man Bites Dog Directed by Remy Belvaux Paul Rumble Benoit is well-spoken, well-dressed, often witty and loves to quote poetry. He also likes to kill people. Machuca (2004) Directed by Andres Wood Tabitha Parkes 30,000 children killed. 100,000 arrested without trial. 22,000 expelled. 150,000 exiled. Chile 1973 Stalin’s Ghost by Martin Cruz Smith Louise Webster For those who want something perhaps slightly unusual or written with depth, then this book is highly recommended - it is definitely a compelling read. The Last Great Dance On Earth by Sandra Gulland Ruby Harrison ‘I was not born for such grandeur’ Josephine, in a letter to her daughter Hortense. Moll Flanders, by Daniel Defoe (1722) Daniel Alves Moll Flanders tells us everything that could not be spoken about in the eighteenth century. Pretending to be factual truth, this novel explores the taboos of the time. The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells (1898) Stephen Doyle The War of the Worlds is the forerunner of that science-fiction staple, the ‘Alien Invasion’ story. Independence Day and dozens of other movies, books, and TV programmes pay homage to this original tale, The Sorrows of Young Werther Author: Goethe Joseph Grosso However if there is one work that must be named as having captured my personal Sublime as having described my own life experience up till now, it would have to be Goethe’s groundbreaking novel 'Sorrows' Consequences… Don’t call me baby by Laurie Depp Alana Hebenton Don’t call me baby creates a realistic teenage voice with is use of contemporary cultural references to ‘Hello’ magazine and celebrities like David Beckam, An Artist Of The Floating World, by Kazuo Ishiguro Dan Schneider Kazuo Ishiguro's 1986 novel, An Artist Of The Floating World, which won that year's Whitbread Prize, may be a great novel Call Me Elizabeth Dawn Annandale Emma King review A story of abuse, rape, prostitution, marriage, money and family values, there are few issues Call Me Elizabeth doesn’t explore. The Wayward Wind by Ashleigh Bingham Publisher: Robert Hale Ltd (1 Nov 2007) Lisa Timmermann review At its best, Ashleigh Bingham’s The Wayward Wind can be described as an atmospheric and suspenseful adventure novel
