Street Kings
- 15 Apr 2008
James Ellroy (LA Confidential; The Black Dahlia; Cop) is to the Los Angeles Police Department what Michael Moore is to George W Bush. He's a one-man black wash, a PR flak's worst nightmare. Even so, I'll bet his books are well thumbed in the precincts. His down and dirty detectives don't spend too much time filling out forms in triplicate. Street Kings takes a vintage Ellroy scenario (the script was also worked on Kurt Wimmer and Jamie Moss) about a rogue vigilante cop, Tom Ludlow (Keanu... Read more

- 24 Nov 2008
Los Angeles, 1928: “Everybody knows women are fragile…” Carol Dexter (Amy Ryan) tells Christine Collins (Angelina Jolie) as she explains how Code 12 patients are processed in the psychiatric ward of the Los Angeles County General Hospital. See, Code 12s have been committed directly by the LAPD, and naturally the hospital staff ask no questions. No matter that Carol’s mental lapse was filing a complaint against a “john” who beat her. He was a cop. Christine Read more

- 21 Apr 2008
The Forbidden Kingdom, the first film to bring together martial arts legends Jackie Chan and Jet Li, has topped the US box office on its opening weekend, according to new figures from Nielsen. The film took over $20.8 million (£10.49 million) to leave the competition in their kung fu fighting wake. In second place, it was a debut for breaking-up comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall, starring Knocked Up's Jason Segel and Spatan's Kristen Bell, followed by horror remake and last week's number...
