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.

Fox as US soldiers serving in... Read more
The Fincher File
- 14 May 2007
The UK release of David Fincher's latest film, Zodiac, was delayed a couple of months so that it could compete for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival (the rules say that a film can only have shown in its home territory to be eligible). I imagine it will be a serious contender for some sort of recognition from Stephen Frears' jury, but even so it's been a cruel wait for Fincher fans: five years this month since Panic Room, and even that felt like a bit of a knock-off, something he took...
