One of the sub-texts of the Harry-Sally relationship is that they have to learn to stop speaking in the quips and statements of their types: Beatrice and Benedict on the Upper East Side. Her movie Heartburn was a tear-jerker about faithlessness in marriage yet uplifting and hopeful.

There was an old-school, spontaneous New York kindness in Nora too.

Interviewing her at the Dorchester, I produced a messy nosebleed just as we sat down on the silk chairs. The PR gazed in horror and insisted that I leave. Nora was having none of it, ministered to me herself - and insisted that we still had our allocated time. Later, I got a note suggesting I expense the dry-cleaning bill as “nose-bleed, brought on by over-talkative American”.

What a miss she will be. Her words y, vain and fearful men made us busy, and women on both sides of the Atlantic feel a little better about ourselves. No small thing, that.

Tattoos are the mark of a true gentleman …

By Sebastian Shakespeare David Beckham OBE has received the ultimate accolade: he has been named as one of Country Life’s five gentlemen of 2012. The magazine, which compiled the list to promote its new book, Gentlemanly Pursuits, has picked the former English football captain for his good manners.

Also on the list are Colin Firth, for self deprecation, the Duke of Edinburgh for a stiff upper lip, Nelson Mandela for his quiet dignity and Boris Johnson for his quiet apologies.

At fi rst glance the list all seems fi ne and dandy - like the perfect English gent. But on further reflection it seems ever so slightly bogus given that Becks has more tattoos than your average fi lly at Royal Ascot Ladies’ Day, Prince Philip is Greekborn, Colin Firth is an actor who just

happens to imitate other gentlemen, Nelson Mandela is South African, and Boris, is by his own admission, “a one-man melting pot” of Turkish origin.

Perhaps it is just a reflection on the elusive nature of the English gentleman. Just as fashions change, so too does the defi nition of a gent. The perfect English gent, according to Country Life, once sported a moustache, wore a white tie with pride, ate kedgeree for breakfast and was never seen without a cigarette. At least three, if not all, of these qualities would disqualify him nowadays.

The gentleman of today, according to Country Life, has exchanged fags for nicotine gum, eats muesli with blueberries, is clean shaven and tieless. More significantly, Beckham’s tattoos don’t disqualify him from gentlemanly status. The reason?

Tattoos were once all the rage among the British aristocracy: Edward VII acquired a Jerusalem cross tattoo before he ascended the throne, and George V had a dragon tattoo on his arm. So perhaps the media shouldn’t work themselves up into such a lather about letting tattooed ladies into the Ascot races. Even the Prime Minister’s wife, Samantha Cameron, has a tattoo of a dolphin on her ankle.

Would they dare turn her away from the royal enclosure? I think not.

So Becks does have the greatest claim to be a gent - because of and not despite his tattoos. But a man with arguably a greater claim to gentlemanly status is comedian Jimmy Carr. As Dostoevsky said, money must be so far beneath a gentleman it is hardly worth troubling about.

So long as his accountant does all the troubling.

03 DIARY by Richard Dickenson

Playing with words S

ome of the better class American newspapers - there are some - run annual competitions for people who like quirky ideas and funny ways with words. Knowing for sure that some, well two actually, readers of this column enjoy the intellectual pursuits of toying with syntax and tossing about a few vagrant syllables I thought some mementoes from my own collection might entertain.

For example, there are witty alternative meanings for wellknown words. Who is there that realises that the word balderdash really means a rapidly receding hairline, or that a testicle is a funny question on an exam paper?

And did you know that a gargoyle is olive-fl avoured mouthwash or that negligent means absentmindedly open the door in one’s nightgown? A coffee is the person on whom one coughs and Beelzebug is the Devil in the form of a mosquito that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.

To be fl abbergasted is a sure sign of being appalled at how much weight you have gained.

Abdicate, alternatively, is the act of giving up all hope of ever losing that weight. A circumvent, did you but know it, is the correct name for the opening at the front of a pair of Jewish undershorts, while an oyster is someone who peppers his conversation with Yiddish idioms.

To lymph means to walk with a lisp and a fl atulence is an emergency vehicle that picks up someone who has been run over by a steam roller. Rectitude, and I especially like this one, is the formal, dignified bearing adopted by proctologists while Pokemon is a Rastafarian rectal surgeon. Which reminds me that Frisbeetarianism

is a cult belief that, after death, the soul fl ies up onto the roof and gets stuck there.

Caterpallor is the colour you turn when you fi nd just half a worm left in the apple you were eating whereas an arachnoleptic fit is the frenzied dance performed just after you walk through a spider’s web.

And I wonder if your editor will let me tell you that the medical word for willy-nilly is impotence.

Carasthmatic (Adj) means getting wheezes instead of a spell of motion sickness. And Henovarian (n) is a battery of egg-layers. Then there is ambilence (n), which is a pleasantly decorated conveyance to hospital. Beethoven’s Erotica somehow sounds unlikely music for the period, but testomonials, well, I won’t risk that one.

More to the point, as it were, is egotesticle - meaning bragging about one’s personal endowment dimensions, whereas an ignoranus

is a person who is both stupid and an ***hole, to boot. Also in the brainless class there is Dopeler Effect, being the tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

Intaxication is a state of semieuphoria at receiving an Inland Revenue tax refund, a condition that lasts only until you realise that it is your money to start with and they just ‘borrowed’ it, interest free, for a while. Cashtration is the act of buying a house thus rendering the buyer fi nancially impotent for an indefi nite period.

Reintarnation is an American event meaning coming back in your next life as a hillbilly. Bozone is the name given to the invisible substance surrounding dim witted people and which stops bright ideas penetrating. Sadly, it has been my experience that the Bozone Layer shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

Foreploy is the deplorable practice of misrepresentation of oneself for the purpose of getting laid, and osteopornosis is a degenerate disease.

Vultures boost

people are needed to be hired in permanent government posts, the finance ministry said this week asking lawmakers for exemptions to a hiring freeze in the public sector.

The government says it needs to hire some 350 people in permanent positions that are deemed crucial for the smooth running of the civil service machine.

The austerity-driven budget for 2012 placed a hiring freeze on new appointments, in a bid to contain the constantly growing size of the public sector and rein in the public-sector payroll.

But lawmakers, who had pushed through the cost-cutting measures, have since been hearing essential departments run the risk of understaffing. In March, the finance ministry asked to hire 650 people. It subsequently revised that figure downward to 66 persons, and has now revised it again, to 350.

per cent fewer birds have been trapped with mist nets during the recent spring period but an estimated 166,000 birds were still killed by trappers with limestick use showing a dramatic increase, BirdLife Cyprus said this week.

“This is an encouraging start to the year, especially bearing in mind that record trapping levels were observed last year, and the efforts of the competent authorities are acknowledged and applauded,” BirdLife said after completing its spring report.

Despite the positive results, BirdLife said it viewed the decrease in trapping activity with caution.

“In 2009, data from the BirdLife Cyprus surveillance programme showed a similar decrease in spring trapping, only for the following autumn to shape into a real disaster,” the organisation said.

government websites were forced offl ine on Monday night and Tuesday morning by the international hacker collective known as Anonymous.

The attack lasted for approximately 15 hours, from Monday 10pm until Tuesday 1pm, rendering websites with the characteristic .gov.cy unusable and causing citizens to temporarily lose access to the government’s online information and services.

The attack carried out is known as D-DOS which is when systems flood a website’s server with a barrage of requests making them unable to accept any further connections causing them to become inaccessible to other users.

Anonymous had posted a video on YouTube two weeks ago warning that they would take unspecified action against what they claimed to be a corrupt Cypriot government.

Griffon Vultures arrived on the island on Monday evening as part of efforts to bolster the dwindling population in Cyprus.

“The vulture is the biggest and one of the most impressive birds that we have in Cyprus. Unfortunately their population has been eradicated, mainly from our own thoughtless activities (such as) poisoning them and hunting them,” said Interior Minister Eleni Mavrou, present when the birds arrived on a Cyprus Airways flight from Crete and were handed over to the Game Fund.

According to BirdLife’s executive director Clairie Papazoglou, the six vultures will be put in an enclosure at the Forestry Department in the Ayios Ioannis area of Paphos, where they will stay for about a year so they can become more familiar with their surroundings. They will then be released in the hope they will nest where there are traditional colonies.

04 PROFILE

The opposite of macho strength S Marking 60 years, Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin starts each day with a form of dance he came up with himself. His Batsheva dance company was in Cyprus recently for two performances. THEO PANAYIDES meets him

itting in the Curium Palace Hotel in Limassol, talking to Ohad Naharin – his Batsheva Dance Company are giving a performance at the Municipal Garden Theatre down the road in a few hours – I’ve got my fi rst question primed and ready. I’ve been on Wikipedia, fi nding out the basics about Ohad, and I notice he was born in 1952. “So you’ve got a big birthday with a ‘0’ at the end coming up,” I point out. “Or maybe it’s already happened?”

“It’s today!” he beams happily.

Really? He turns 60 today? What were the odds of that little coincidence? (1 in 366, to be precise.) I’ve never interviewed anyone on their 60th birthday before. Then again, I doubt many people approach the occasion as sanguinely as Ohad.

Charismatic: Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin

He’s been looking forward to 60, he insists – “I’m really, really happy with this number” – and the day itself hasn’t disappointed (alas, he fl ies back to Israel in a few hours to attend a fund-raiser, not even staying for Batsheva’s show, so he won’t get to celebrate). I assume it also helps that he doesn’t look 60; in fact he looks much younger, brimming with a kind of serene energy.

Partly it’s style. Charisma is a tricky thing to pinpoint, but you know when someone has it and Ohad’s got it. The face is narrow, somewhat rugged (though occasionally reminiscent of the actor Hugh Laurie), the eyes grey-green and ice-cool, the appraising eyes of a director and choreographer which is what he’s been for the past 30 years. He speaks softly, with occasional fluid gestures, quietly im-

parting (or imposing) a connection across the table.

Much of it is just empty charm, of course. I’m 20 minutes late for the interview (I got lost) and fi nd myself accosted by an assistant who spits out “You’re late!” almost rudely, so I know my tardiness has been talked about – but then Ohad appears, and he’s all charm; “I like my people to be a little bit late!” he claims unconvincingly but winningly, with one of those fluid sweeping gestures.

Yet there’s also something more: the sense of a secret smile playing on his lips all the time, the feeling of some secret, invaluable knowledge vouchsafed to him alone. He gives the impression of dealing with people and managing problems all the time, and doing it with ease. At one point our photographer calls to say he’s been delayed, and I’m scrambling to arrange a photo before Ohad’s next meeting – but he simply lifts up his mobile phone, relaxes his face into a smile and snaps a pic. Problem solved. (Alas, the photo didn’t make it to the Sunday Mail office before our deadline, due to an email mix-up.)

So yes, style has something to do with not looking 60. But there are other factors too. “Because I live with young people, my bubble –” and he lifts up his arms to suggest a man enclosed in a bubble – “is a lot younger than me”. Almost all the dancers in Batsheva are in their 20s and 30s, and Ohad isn’t far from the truth when he says they all live together.

Most of his close friends are also his colleagues; “My work and my life are totally mixed”. When there’s a new production to prepare, he’ll spend days on end – 12, 18 hours at a stretch – with the company. “It’s a little bit like a tribe,” he explains. “I don’t like so much a family, the idea of a family – people say Batsheva is like a family, but we’re not. We’re a tribe. And a tribe is people that live together, you know? So we do feel that this is our life, not [just] our job.”

Then there’s the fact of having been a dancer himself, and a lifetime spent taking care of his body – especially through “Gaga”, the technique he’s pioneered in the past couple of decades. He’s never been a smoker, not since choking on a cigarette (cunningly provided by his own mother) at age seven. He’s never been much of a drinker – it’s not really part of Israeli culture – and has only gotten drunk once in his life (on purpose, just to see what it was like).

As for eating badly, “I prefer good bread to good cake”.

Above all, perhaps, his trim appearance – like his talent for dancing – can be put down to genes. “I was lucky to get really great genes from my parents. And for dance, this is the most important thing,” says Ohad.

“I got from them a very, very easy,

The Batsheva Dance Company performing Three, choreographed by Naharin

‘You know, 20 years ago very few people would talk about two states, a Palestinian state. But now everybody understands – or most people understand – that it’s the only solution’ flexible, strong body”. He’s now done his bit by passing on those genes to daughter Noga (whose mother is also a dancer). “She’s unbelievable!” he says when the subject comes up. “I have to show you! I just took this picture two days ago”. He rummages on his phone and fi nds a photo of a little girl standing next to her playmate.

“You see her jumping?” he exclaims, masking his proud-papa glee in professional interest – and it’s true that the girl is unusually graceful, keeping her back slightly arched and her legs very straight as she jumps. “It looks like she has 10 years of ballet training!”

Noga is three years old. She’s also his fi rst child – and a big reason why Ohad is relatively relaxed about turning 60. “Happiness is not a constant feeling, but it has a lot to do with happy moments,” he muses.

“And I can say very clearly that there are many more happy moments in my life now than I had before”. He used to be more aggressive, more ambitious, more egotistical – but “in dance it’s very important to understand delicacy, sensitivity. The opposite of numbness.” Ego and ambition get in the way of that, because you’re so focused on your goals and less on what he calls “the quality of the moment”.

Maybe it’s the fact of a birthday with a ‘0’ at the end of it, but Ohad seems inclined to wax philosophical.

“It’s much more playful, it’s much more of a game today,” he says, once again comparing his life with the way it was 10 or 20 years ago. “It’s much more about taking what you do seriously, but taking yourself less seriously – I think it was the opposite before. And just to fi nd that balance in my life. A recognition that to love is much more fun than to be loved. So it’s much less about being needy, and much more the idea that giving is such a great thing”. He used to lose his temper – not scream and shout but say “very hard”, very hurtful things – but hardly ever does that now. “I really learned to turn confl ict into dialogue. And to see that, with almost every confl ict, you can turn it into a dialogue.”

July 1, 2012 • SUNDAY MAIL

Every confl ict? He and Israel are almost the same age (the Jewish state was founded in 1948), yet his country seems as mired in confl ict – and as far from dialogue – as ever.

How does he feel about the place?

“Israel?” he asks, and shakes his head wryly. “I feel there are wonderful people doing stupid things. And some not so wonderful,” he adds with a grin. “But it’s amazing how good people can still do very, very stupid things.

“But I’m optimistic,” he goes on, “because I feel that there is progress. You know, 20 years ago very few people would talk about two states, a Palestinian state. But now everybody understands – or most people understand – that it’s the only solution. Nobody was talking about dividing Jerusalem, [now] a lot more people are talking about dividing Jerusalem”.

Really? Or is he just extrapolating from his own artistic circles? Not at all, he insists. Yes, there are extremists on both sides – but they’re vastly outnumbered by the moderates, most of whom are “just waiting for better leaders, or a better moment. And I think that it will happen.”

He himself was born on a kibbutz, in the early days of the great Zionist dream – an old-school, hardcore kibbutz emphasising allegiance to the group over the individual, or indeed the family. All the children lived together, and only saw their parents for three hours a day (from 4 to 7pm); all the adults worked together, ate in a communal dining-room, didn’t choose their work and didn’t get paid for it. Ohad’s parents, both intensely creative people (his dad was an actor and writer, his mum a musician and dancer who later became an inspirational Dance teacher), stuck it out for a few years but finally left when the boy was five – though he himself has fond memories (it was fun for a child) and recalls the bond he felt with the other kids, eight of them in total but “connected like twins”. He kept in touch with two boys, but both were killed in the Yom Kippur War of 1973; Ohad also saw action in that war, but only as part of an “entertainment unit” (a kind of Army band), having

been spared combat duty due to an old ankle injury.

Maybe he thinks about all that, and what might’ve been – the fact, for instance, that he too might’ve been gone at 21, if it weren’t for that injury – as he slips into a new decade.

60 is quite a big deal, I point out: it becomes harder to call yourself middle-aged, the final stretch looming inescapably now. One thing’s for sure, however: getting older isn’t going to make him more religious, as often happens with people. “It’s not for me,” he says firmly. “I know – I can not prove it, but I know – that God is an invention of Man. It’s very obvious. Not [just] to me – it’s obvious that there is no God. I can not prove it, but I know it. So it’s hard for me to take it seriously.”

Instead his thoughts turn to Man (and Woman), the physical reality of our bodies and the fraught, delicate subject of our mental and emotional well-being. Ohad Naharin’s been lucky, especially in terms of his career. He had the genes, and he had the opportunities; he started dancing seriously at 22, and got accepted to study in New York under Martha Graham at 23. “There was always not a very big gap between what I wanted and what happened,” he admits. “I wanted to dance, and I found a place to dance”. Yet that’s not the whole story. It doesn’t include the messy process of striving for some kind of excellence. It doesn’t explain, in itself, why he can sit in the Curium Palace, on his 60th birthday, and emit this impression of serene energy and secret knowledge.

The secret knowledge is Gaga – the technique he developed years ago, long before the name got appropriated by a glitzy pop diva. It’s a kind of yoga, a kind of ballet, a way of talking about the body. His dancers start each day with a Gaga workout, but it works for non-dancers too. “It’s about strengthening the engine,” toning the muscles, getting rid of all the little dead spots so that “without building huge muscles, we become a lot stronger.

“It’s the opposite of macho strength,” he explains with the fervour of a guru. “I’m talking about longevity, a feminine kind of strength – something that’s more about softness but at the same time can be very explosive, very quick”. And it also goes together with something else, that sense of perspective he’s painfully developed over six decades, the way he’s tried to change his “patterns” and subdue the forces of confl ict and ego. “It has a lot to do with yielding,” he explains of his newfound balance.

To what? To your body? “It’s yielding to your body, it’s yielding to the force of gravity, it’s yielding to your weakness. Admitting your weakness – how far we are from being perfect – but at the same time things can still be wonderful, without the need to be perfect.”

Nothing is perfect, but his life does seem pretty wonderful. A few years ago, an Israeli website conducted a poll to find the ‘200 Greatest Israelis of all Time’; Ohad Naharin came in 137th – not a bad result, after 60 years on the planet. Any final thoughts, before I go back to Nicosia and he goes off to rehearse with his “tribe”? The secret smile plays on his lips again: “Just to remind people to dance every day”. Will do. Oh, and happy birthday.

A number of building projects across Nicosia look set to transform the capital’s skyline, says NAOMI LEACH

The future is vertical

T

he noise of change is hard to ignore. The frenetic pulse of the capital beats louder these days. Weaving through the old city, the scaffolding, broken paths and cordoned off streets make familiar routes unreachable. Outside the centre of Nicosia, the bones of unfinished structures stretch towards the sky.

Dusty teams of workmen gather each day, a metallic orchestra of drills, diggers and hammers busily setting the soundtrack to a city on the rise.

Perhaps it’s the EU Presidency which falls upon Cyprus from today that has highlighted the noticeable number of improvements to residents and observers. Or even Nicosia’s bid for European Capital of Culture 2017 which has triggered a local pride and an interest in making the soulful, historic city more attractive and modern.

Slick, glass skyscrapers that wouldn’t be out of place in London or New York are planned to transform the capital’s skyline in the coming months and years.

Communications Officer at Nicosia Municipality, Makis Nicolaides suggests the extensive building plans which are at varying stages of completion, are just a part of the municipality’s on-going long term strategy for improving the city.

“Nicosia’s construction is not for foreigners or for some periodic Cyprus visitors. It’s not like Paphos that the English come to. The local plan of high rise buildings is for the Central Business District, a place that has commerce, banks and related companies near to the government because they make their work easier.

“Nicosia’s construction companies are [creating these building projects] for local people and for companies. It is for the economic function of the city and the island, that’s why we have a lot of interest. We want to promote the economy of the city, to upgrade all the time,” he explains.

In the municipality’s plans, the future of urban space in Nicosia is vertical. But there is still an emphasis on squares, green spaces, pedestrian traffic and parking spaces for public use.

Attracting residential units and office facilities is also considered important for the economy in the central urban areas of the city. The centre is defined as Griva Digenis, Spyros Kyprianou, Digenis Akritas to Palouriotissa and the city centre. Part of the walled city (pedestrian Ledra - Onasagorou and lanes) are also included in the urban centre of the Local Plan.

The new Local Plan will locate the tallest buildings in the downtown urban cluster with a gradual decrease in height towards the edge of the city. In the historic core of the city and surrounding areas there are restrictions regarding the height of the buildings,

07 Elena Christodoulidou launching the new book

Contemporary dance in Cyprus is still in its fledgling stages although it has undergone huge strides in the last few years. ZOE CHRISTODOULIDES meets a dancer who has documented them

A history of modern dance A sk any group of professional dancers what makes for a good performance and you’ll most likely be faced with a whole load of different replies. A bit like modern art, contemporary dance can mean something very different for each individual. Some like it stark, gritty and raw; others may be intrigued by movement that playfully complements an inspiring beat or carefully put together musical composition.

Cyprus has only really developed a modern dance movement over the past few decades, but although it may still lag behind its European counterparts in certain ways, the island has produced some innovative and highly acclaimed dance shows that have little reason to envy foreign productions. And amidst these are a few well known personalities on the local scene who have been striving to push the limits and create the right environment for the birth of performances that cut against the grain and allow our little island to blossom.

Elena Christodoulidou is one such artist, having dedicated herself to dance since she fi rst jetted off to study at the renowned Martha Graham School in New York. After years of teaching creative dance here on the island while also directing a dance school, she went on to establish the Amfidromo Dance Company in 1998. She is now the president of the New Movement of dance groups, dancers and choreographers of Cyprus since 2006, and the president of Dance Lab Nicosia (a non-profit organisation) that offers daily dance

Haris Kousios

classes for professional dancers, organises projects, seminars, collaborations and dance activities for the dancers of Nicosia. Dance Lab Nicosia is a founding member of Dance House Nicosia.

Building on all this experience, Elena decided to publish a book on the changes she has witnessed in the field. The new publication, just launched, documents contemporary dance in Cyprus over the past few decades. Entitled Contemporary Dance in Cyprus: 1980-2010, the coffee table book is fi lled with pictures and marks an important milestone as the very fi rst all encompassing work of its kind here in Cyprus.

“M “Modern dance on the island develop veloped rapidly in recent years. Dozens o of groups, choreographers and danc dancers, but also institutions are tryin trying to conquer an ever-widening audie audience while adding to the relative prosp prosperity of modern dance in our coun country,” she explains. “The boom make makes sense and creates even greater po potential if it is accompanied by know knowledge and self awareness.”

Turning her gaze towards the n not so distant past, Elena runs tthrough the course of dance’s evolution from the 80s until the present day, focusing on the m most critical milestones, while re recalling the joys that often ran si ide by side with disappointments. side K en to point out that the book is not Ke Keen l l a product of her personal inspisolely ration, she says the “book came out of a big necessity to really record and document all the people, places and dancers that have been a part of the contemporary dance scene.” But why did she begin with the 1980s? “This was really the time the first choreographers of modern dance moved back to Cyprus and started planting the seeds of change,” she recalls. “Before that performances were more classical and traditional.”

While looking back at the development of modern dance on the island, readers will familiarise themselves with the way in which things changed amid the wider historical, social, political and cultural environment. And all the research certainly wasn’t easy given the fact that Elena hardly had any recorded documents to dig into while trying to put the whole work together. “There’s hardly any archives at all on the topic and I got most of

my information from various individuals in the dance world while also drawing on my own personal experience,” she explains. And this seems to be the challenge that comes with dance: “Performances come and go and at the end of a show things tend to get lost and disappear. It’s very important for things to be recorded.”

Rather interestingly, the book also brings to light rare and unpublished records of modern dance history, most notably unique photos from the first contemporary dance performances presented in the country. “The 1980s was just the beginning really, the first blossoming with a big ‘explosion’ occurring in the 1990s,” she points out. Things then really took on a different dimension with the establishment of the Contemporary Dance Platform in 2000. “Imagine that there were just a couple of groups taking part in that when it first started but now there 15 performances after a selection process.”

But it’s not all rosy on the dance scene today. “There are many problems, one of the main ones being the lack of a strategic agenda for contemporary dance in Cyprus as a whole, with a specific philosophy, goals and targets,” Elena insists. Add to that poor working conditions and poor pay for dancers, the environment is not one in which a performer can thrive on solely nor really make a dedicated career out of without reliance on other financial means. But the wheels of change are in motion, and Elena has certainly put a lot of effort into documenting the rather exciting journey.

The Alesund angel: a fishing boat in Alesund fjord with the snow capped Sunnmore Alps in the background

The idyllic coastal town of Alesund is the fishing capital of Norway. MATT CARROLL tucks into the local cod before casting his own line out at sea

Catch of the day T

he guilt, the shame, the awkwardness…

Every time I ask for cod at my local chippy, my conscience screams that I should really know better. After all, according to experts there’s hardly any of these poor, persecuted fish left in the North Sea. Talk to locals in the Norwegian fishing port of Alesund, however, and you’ll get a different story. From March to October every year, the petrol blue waters of the North Sea surrounding this town 235km north of Bergen are inundated with slippery, silvery cod which come here in their hundreds of thousands to breed in the shallows just a mile or so from the shore.

Much of this delicious, meaty fish ends up on the menu in Alesund’s myriad restaurants, which are renowned for serving up some of Europe’s most delicious seafood. Indeed, as the head chef at one of the town’s most upscale restaurants, Maki, put it on my fi rst night here: “I worked in Italy for many years but frankly the fish here is so much better than the Med.” As dish number three of my seven course tasting extravaganza

arrived, I was beginning to concur.

Mind you, the vino might have had something to with that. Each new course heralded the arrival of a different wine; having started with a delicious Riesling to accompany a plate of herring roe, with red onion and chive cream cheese, I was now about to tuck into cod cheek with Jerusalem artichoke and beetroot served with a lipsmacking Basque white that had beads of moisture trickling down the glass.

With umpteen other seafood restaurants to choose from in Alesund, it would have been tempting to spend the whole weekend just eating.

But the town is just as famous for its excellent fishing, and I was keen to have a go at catching my own supper. Stein, my ruddy-faced skipper, picked me up outside my boutique hotel overlooking the harbour, and minutes later we were chugging our way out of the marina, past brightly coloured boats.

Within 10 minutes we were pulling up at a reassuringly calm spot in sight of the town, where Stein shut off the engines and hopped down from the wheelhouse to give me a quick demo on the correct technique.

“Drop your line to about 50 metres,” he said, pointing to the gauge on top of my rod. “That’s where the cod like to hang out. Now jerk the rod up and down, and wait for a bite.”

It all sounded far too simple. On every fishing programme I’ve ever watched (all right, on the only fishing programme I’ve ever watched), I was struck by how much patience and effort was required even to catch a tiddler. Before coming here I’d envisaged hours of waiting while the fish made up their minds about whether to go for the bait. But cod, it seems, are far from shy - at least the ones in Alesund - and within half an hour I was reeling in a prize specimen that would make Rick Stein go weak at the knees.

As the tenacious fish thrashed about in the water below, the end of my rod flexed alarmingly under the strain. For a while it looked as though I might have a battle on my hands but suddenly its ghostly silhouette appeared just below the surface and I was able to whip it out of the water and onto the deck. According to Captain Stein my catch weighed in at (a modest) five kilos - but it’s not unusual to land a cod

Route 66 still holds allure for travellers

here which doubles that. While the skipper took care of the skinning, gutting and fi lleting, I took charge of the exciting bit: cooking.

It was all gloriously back-tobasics. After setting up a barbecue grill on the deck we simply sliced off a knob of butter, chopped up some onions and chucked it all into a pan, where the fish sizzled away over the hot coals. As the aroma of frying onions and butter mingled with sea salt, we cracked open some beers, sat back and admired the view. The water was so still it looked as if someone had stretched a roll of cling-fi lm over the top, while in the distance,

After setting up a barbecue grill on the deck we simply sliced off a knob of butter, chopped up some onions and chucked it all into a pan, where the fish sizzled away over the hot coals the snow capped mountains of the Sunnmøre Alps rose up out of nowhere, snagging the odd puffy cloud that strayed too close.

Alesund is the gateway to a network of fjords, which wind their way inland for hundreds of miles - the most famous of them being the Unesco-rated Geirangerfjord. Stretched out over eight miles, it’s surrounded by the kind of landscape that myths are made of - where sheer rock walls rise up out of the water, and giant trolls are said to roam.

A great way to soak it all up is to charter a sail ship from Alesund harbour. As you glide along on the gentle breeze, the only sounds are the creaking of the rigging and the splosh of water lapping against the hull. This is nature on a grand scale - barely touched by human hand where eagles hover overhead on the lookout for supper, and mountain goats perch on the impossibly steep cliffs. Even more intriguing are the farmhouses hidden among the vertiginous nooks and crannies, most of them only accessible by ladders bolted to cliffs.

After polishing off the remainder of my freshly caught cod, Stein dropped me back onto dry land.

That evening I tucked into yet another plate of cod, served with juicy scallops - and not a single pang of guilt from my conscience…

Route 66 hasn’t been a real highway for almost three decades.

The last section of the fabled US route from Chicago to Santa Monica, California, was dropped as a federal highway in 1984. But its hold on travellers’ imaginations has revived motels, diners, souvenir shops, gas stations and other buildings along the old route.

The enduring fascination, along with some federal grants, has helped Route 66 thrive, even as people old enough to remember its heyday die off.

“People are looking to see the real America, not Walt Disney’s version,” said Ron Hart, director and founder of the Route 66 Chamber of Commerce in Carthage, Missouri.

A Rutgers University study released in March estimated that people spend $132 million annually along old Route 66, which crosses eight states and is marked in some places by ceremonial signs.

Visitors encounter attractions like the Boots Motel, which Hart, as property manager, restored to its late 1940s glory ahead of its re-opening last month.

Built in 1939 and once visited by actor Clark Gable and singer Gene Autry, the Boots

had fallen into disrepair and become a flophouse for drug addicts and illegal immigrants, Hart said.

Under its new owners, five rooms have been renovated and more are set to be redone.

Guests are treated to touches like real keys, chrome light fi xtures, chenille bedspreads, monogrammed towels, built-in dressers and an old radio tuned to a station that plays 1940s hits. No TVs in the rooms - just a non-working late 1940s model in the lobby. If you want ice, the staff brings it to your room.

“We sit in front of the motel every night and wave to the people driving by,” said Deborah Harvey, a historic preservationist and co-owner of the Boots. “People stop, pull up a chair and tell us their stories about the motel.”

Route 66 was completed in the mid-1920s and gained fame in the 1930s when it was described in the John Steinbeck novel The Grapes of Wrath as the “mother road” from the Dust Bowl to the promise of California. It later became the family vacation route to the Southwest and was romanticised in movies, music and on television.

“It wasn’t the only highway, or the fi rst or the longest, but through the quirks of pop culture it became famous,” said Mark Spangler, curator of the

Roadside landmark: giant whale built over a swimming hole in Caboosa

Route 66 Museum in Lebanon, Missouri.

The biggest challenge to modern-day Route 66 travellers is staying on the original route, said David Knudson, founder and executive director of the non-profit National Historic Route 66 Federation. Signs are inconsistent along the long route and many are stolen for souvenirs, he said.

“It’s hard to follow without a good map,” said Knudson, whose group publishes a Route 66 map and guides. “Some parts of the road have deteriorated, some are in good shape and some parts were removed years ago and replaced with cornfields. About 80 per cent of the original route is still drivable.”

The federal government no longer maintains any of the route, so repairs are done by various cities, counties and states that took over each section, Knudson said. His federation has a programme that recruits people to monitor the condition of 100-mile stretches of the road.

But federal funds are available to owners of Route 66 businesses. The National Park Service’s Route 66 Corridor

Preservation Program has paid an average of $150,000 annually since 2001 for business renovations along the road that are matched privately, according to the Rutgers study.

The survey found that the most popular sights along Route 66 are the old roadside diners, motels, gas stations, souvenir shops, theatres and other businesses. According to the study, 230 buildings along the route are on the National Register of Historic Places.

The route includes quirky sights like the Cadillac Ranch near Amarillo, Texas, which features a series of half-buried Cadillacs with their fins up. In Catoosa, Oklahoma, there is a giant open-mouthed whale built over a popular Route 66 swimming hole.

People also travel Route 66 for the scenery of plains, mountains and rivers, Knudson said.

It is still the American defi nition of the open road, especially as it passes through the remote southwestern states, he said.

“It’s the adventure that draws many people,” Knudson said. “There is certainly a lot to be said about that.”

easyJet to collect spare change for UNICEF fund easyJet is set to launch a new partnership with UNICEF, the world’s leading children’s organisation, which will help save children’s lives around the world.

The partnership will run across easyJet’s full network during the peak summer and winter seasons, reaching out to the airline’s 55 million passengers who travel on the airlines’ 200 aircraft on over 600 routes across 30 coun-

tries.

The partnership will be branded Change for Good and will launch on easyJet planes from July 2. Every airline passenger will be given the chance to support the world’s children simply by dropping their spare change into specially designed pouches, which will be handed out by easyJet’s crew during fl ights.

The money raised

through donations from easyJet customers will fund UNICEF’s life-saving work for children across the world, such as vaccinating children at risk from diseases such as measles and polio or providing mosquito nets to prevent malaria.

“I am thrilled that UNICEF is now onboard with easyJet, the UK’s largest and fastest growing airline. Together we can help save the

lives of some of the world’s most vulnerable children,” said Executive Director of UNICEF David Bull.

The new partnership, which will operate for an initial three year period, will form part of UNICEF’s global Change for Good initiative, which has raised millions of pounds for the world’s most vulnerable children through partnerships with leading airlines across the globe.

11 WINES with George Kassianos

From the vineyards of Greece

I

t was early evening when I receive a call from Andreas Kyprianou, owner of Vinocultura in Nicosia, to join him for dinner with the Greek winemaker Thanos Dougos and Vasos Manoli, the Cypriot champion sommelier. I had never met Thanos before but I have tasted his wines, and you never refuse a chance to meet a winemaker.

Thanos’ father, Dimitrios Dougos entered wine production, like many, as a consummate insider. He was a co-owner of Greece’s largest and oldest vine nursery. But he had passion for winemaking and began producing wine for family and friends in 1983.

He was able to buy the best fruit for his amateur wine, travelling through quality appellation regions. Soon, his wine became popular around Larissa and in 1992 he purchased vineyards in Prosilia, Rapsani and began building a small winery in Larissa’s beautiful Tempe Valley. In 1993 he released its first vintage. The first bottling in the winery was in 1995.

It was this passion that made son Thanos and daughter Louisa join the family business. Thanos, who has a degree in agriculture, and Louisa, in chemistry and oenology, have taken over the reins from their father.

On the southern slopes of Mount Olympos in Prosilia, Rapsani, Dougos vineyards reside at elevations between 450 and 550 metres and are cultivated organically. Native and foreign varieties are on display in the vineyards. Red native plantings include the AOC Rapsani varieties, Xynomavro, Stavroto and Krasato as well as Limnio. White native grapes include Roditis, the delicate, fruity Batiki and Assyrtiko. International varieties include Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet franc and Grenache.

Their winery, with its classic villa architecture and welcoming courtyard, attracts and wins over an increasing number of visitors.

I admire Thanos’ oak philosophy, which is designed to meet the needs of both the oak-loving Greek market and oak-sensitive export markets.

It is ideally suited for appetisers, everything that you look for in a summer white. €12.75 2011 Dougos Sauvignon Blanc – Roditis Bio, Abv 12.5% Light gold in colour, a complex nose, zippy and floral, predominant fruit melon and peach, honey and orange peel.

Correction C Last week I mention about tthe Italian Spritzzoso, which is actually with Prosecco and a b bitter but not mixed with Apero ol. Aperol is the perfect aperitif ttoo mixed with Prosecco. Bright o orange in colour, it has a unique b bitter-sweet taste deriving from a secret recipe that has remained u unchanged since its creation. It is an infusion of precious primary components, many herbs and roots in a perfectly balanced combination.

Aperol’s strength is its low alcohol con content, only 11%.

Aperol originated in 1919 in Padov dova, it was a product of the Barbie bieri Brothers who launched the rev revolutionary idea of an aperitif wit with an alcohol content of only 11 per cent. From then until today tthe popularity of Aperol has grown continuously thanks to its fresh and versatile taste and its capacity to be mixed with so many other drinks.

Purchased in the 90s by Barbero 1891, Aperol then entered Gruppo Campari’s portfolio, reaching new records of popularity and diffusion. Honest mistake and apologies where due.

French classify ancient vines as national treasure

By Marcel Michelson A wine plague spread by lice destroyed vines in France in the 19th century but a small area in the Pyrenees, which contains plants up to 200 years old, was spared and is being classified as a national heritage monument.

Like other national treasures such as the Palace of Versailles and Notre Dame cathedral, the vines in the Ardour valley will be protected.

They contain the ancient DNA of local grape varieties. Some grapes are still being used with grapes from younger generation vines to make Saint-Mont wine.

“It is an exceptional plot,” said Olivier Bourdet-Pees, director of the Plaimont wine making firm. “The vines go back 200 years.

They were planted in 1800 and

July 1, 2012• SUNDAY MAIL

1810. There are 29 different grape varieties of which seven were unknown,” he said.

“This plot of 40 acres contains very old and non-grafted stocks and offers a remarkable example of biodiversity and of genetic heritage: 600 vines in 12 rows, some 20 different varieties of which seven have not previously been recorded,” the regional authorities said in a statement.

The plot also showed traces of ancient methods of agriculture, with double rows of vines planted in squares. Although the production is too small for a special wine, the vegetal material can be used to make younger vines.

For eight generations the plot has been in the hands of the family of vintner Jean-Pascal Pedebernade. About 20 years ago, scien-

tists started to study the vines. It took them until 2008 to completely map the genetic make-up of the plants in a study that helped sway the commission in its decision.

The sandy soil plot lies near the village of Sarragchies near Saint-Mont in the Gers, in southwest France. The vines are planted wide apart, which may explain why it resisted the attacks by the phylloxera aphids that travelled to Europe from their original habitat in the United States.

Saint-Mont has its own AOC wine denomination. It is a sturdy wine like the Madiran, which is also produced by the vintners associated in the Plaimont co-operative group. Its headquarters is in the former Benedictine monastery whose monks planted vines around the year 1050 in the Middle Ages.

The Saint-Mont AOC area has 46 villages and uses the Tanat, Pinenc, Cabernet France and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes for red and rosé wines as well as Gros Manseng, Arrufiac and Petit Courbu for the whites.

While the cabernets are widely used elsewhere, the other grape varieties are typical for the region.

Its producers are proud of the biodiversity of the area, which is helpful in the ultra competitive market for inexpensive wines.

Production is about eight million bottles, half in red, 30 per cent in whites and the rest in rosé.

Two-thirds of the production is consumed in France with exports mainly to other European countries, the US, Canada, Australia, Japan and China. They sell in the range of €7 to €14 per bottle.

A little bit of this, a little bit of that No Reservations, Nicosia

N

othing in your dining experience in Nicosia will prepare you for No Reservations. We arrive at 8pm on a Tuesday to an empty restaurant and choose to sit outside under an awning surrounded by pots of herbs - the premises are on the corner opposite the Cyprus Museum of Contemporary Art in Stassinou Street. There is a pleasant breeze and a surprising lack of noise, considering the location. Madam of the house, Monica, approaches with the menu and reveals the mysteries of dining at her restaurant and I quote, ‘From our menu, that changes every 15 days to keep up with what we fi nd fresh and in season, you can make a selection of five courses for €20, 12 courses for €30 or the full menu for €35’. Sounds interesting.

The establishment has been open for five months and is the best kept dining experience in the city: ‘knowing friends’ have urged me to try it but I may have linked it with Anthony Bourdain and the big overcoat brigade - couldn’t have been more wrong - mea culpa.

On arrival the turntable is playing a modern balladeer singing Francis Albert at an unthreatening level and the eye is caught by the original designs on the tables and walls; the wine menu cover is good enough to be framed - but I wander, it’s the food that requires attention.

The companion selects the five courses and in the interest of the readership I choose the 12 without knowing if I will finish it - when was the last time you volunteered to eat more than ten items from the card?

Our fi rst dishes are served on plain white porcelain and consist of a Parmesan basket containing smoked peppers, figs in a balsamic reduction for the companion and a vegetable terrine with cheese mousse and basil oil for me. The sight of these two perfect dishes marooned on the platter immediately transported us to Cluny in the seventies when we stayed at a hotel in the heart of ‘La Chasse’ and experienced the best of nouvelle cuisine.

There are others in between, but my fi nal platter contains a cylinder of kleftico, a tiny quiche and a wrapped pork fi llet with a forced-meat ravioli in butter, and a ‘mouse-tail’ (deep fried sage leaf). Each dish is served on fresh platter - how does the kitchen cope?

The sweets are as good as the savouries and range from Profiterole with Chantilly cream, through ice cream with pineapple poached in white wine and coriander sauce to creme brulee.

The companion claimed it was one of her best dining evenings ever and we will definitely take on the full menu next time. The dishes are small, perfect and delightfully balanced; the chef Martino, is Italian, and the husband of Monica; between them they have achieved something remarkable: a restaurant that pleases in every aspect: service, ambience, outstanding food and good value.

I have a feeling it will be a little too esoteric for the ultra cool urbanites which means more room for the serious diners.

May the gods have No Reservations.

The Bravest Man in the Universe Lurking beneath the album’s selfdeprecatory title lies the captivating spectre of a soul music legend stripped to the bone. Producers Damon Albarn and Richard Russell have pushed Womack’s voice - profoundly lived-in, like his face - to the fore. Simple, thumping or rumbling percussion underpins these deceptively simple songs, but there is always a wash of keyboards or snippet of acoustic guitar near at hand to add colour and texture. The title track sparks proceedings fronted by a soulful rasp which simultaneously acknowledges and defies the years. Whatever Happened to the Times would not make Massive Attack blush, and Dayglo Reflection is much enhanced by the otherworldly tones of Lana Del Ray. It tails off towards the end but this is a terrific blast of ancient and modern soul.

Oceania Having allegedly given up on albums, Billy Corgan and his current Pumpkins are back with a new one, a further instalment in the grandiose masterwork called Teargarden by Kaleidyscope. In a turbulent career, fraught with internal wranglings and external snipings, this band has progressed from disciples of The Cure, through being the next Nirvana, Pearl Jam or whoever, to being themselves, more or less. Oceania opens in familiar fashion with Quaser, big on guitars and drums, short on memorable melody. Thereafter, things take a more interesting course: Panopticon, The Celestials and Violet Rays are suffused with acoustic guitars, keyboards and mild electronica. Corgan’s lyrics are simple yet opaque - nebulous love and coloured lights abound - and the suspicion remains that he is neither grunge nor pomp rocker at heart but

Cheryl A Million Lights As she releases her third solo album, Girls Aloud’s breakout star Cheryl Cole is now famous enough to join the elite band of singers to be known by just their first name.

14 FILM FILM REVIEW

by Preston Wilder

Six dvd alternatives With the multiplex going through a quiet patch and increasingly irrelevant anyway - here are six great films to watch in your living-room

N

o-one’s sure how we got ourselves into this mess, but the cinema is fast becoming the worst place to watch a film. It’s not the set-up (though chunky 3D glasses are an acquired taste) and it’s not the audiences – though some people’s theatre manners leave a lot to be desired, top prize going perhaps to those who turn on their mobile phone to check the time or read their texts or whatever, then look hurt when you protest (I don’t care if it’s ‘silent’, sir, you’re still shining a bright light in a dark space, just a few inches from my line of vision!).

No, the main problem are the fi lms themselves – not fi lms in general, despite the increasingly common perception that Cinema is over and TV is where the action is now, but the fi lms they show at the cinema. The multiplex is all about brand names, kids’ cartoons, crude comedies (or cutesy romantic comedies), gut-munching horrors and endless, needless 3D. Even the Friends of the Cinema Society isn’t as reliable as it used to be, tending to programme national festivals (French, Italian, Spanish) which are inevitably a mixed bag.

It still seems right to lead with whatever’s at the multiplex, here on the Film pages; the other way lies fragmentation, and eventually madness. But I’ll happily take advantage of a temporary lull (only three new films released in the past two weeks) to remind myself – and you – that almost all the best new movies aren’t actually shown in movie theatres, at least in Cyprus. Most are viewed in your living-room, hence the following half-dozen ‘DVD alternatives’, four of which (the first four) would receive a four-star rating if they turned up on the big screen. The other two are more flawed, but still intensely memorable.

Note these aren’t necessarily films which are available in local DVD shops (most of which have been forced to scale back, due to falling business), simply fi lms which have been released on DVD in the English-speaking world. How you track them down is up to you…

TAKE SHELTER: The genius of this much-acclaimed fi lm is that it works simultaneously (and equally well) as psychological horror and disease-of-the-week drama. Michael Shannon (superb) is a loving husband and father who’s been having strange, frightening visions – and becomes convinced that the end of the world is coming. Shannon brings out the man’s decency as well as the craziness, and he’s so convincing – especially when he explodes at a barbecue, telling everyone there’s a storm

filmsummaries Rock of Ages It’s 1987, and Sherrie (Julianne Hough) leaves her Oklahoma home for Hollywood, chasing her dream of trying to make it as a singer. She meets Drew (Diego Boneta), who is working as a waiter at a famous rock’n roll venue on Sunset Strip called The Bourbon Room, run by Dennis (Alec Baldwin) and Lonny (Russell Brand), but also dreams of becoming a singer. The venue is under threat from a ‘clean up the Strip’ campaign orchestrated by the Mayor’s wife Patricia Whitmore (Catherine Zeta-Jones). When rock god Stacee Jaxx (Tom Cruise) comes to the Bourbon for a one-night-only show, however, all their lives begin to change. Also starring Paul Giamatti and

Piranha 3DD Moving on from their spring-break extravaganza at Lake Victoria, the swarm of bloodthirsty fish from Piranha 3D heads upstream where they look to make a meal out of Big Wet, a local water park where, when it comes to fun, nobody does it wetter!

coming “and there’s not a one of you is prepared for it” – you never know if he’s going to be proved right or not.

Extra kudos to Jessica Chastain, taking a generic role (the loyal wife) and making it special.

J. EDGAR: I believe this was advertised for the multiplex originally, seeing as it stars Leonardo DiCaprio – but he plays J. Edgar Hoover, the infamous Director of the FBI for most of the 20th century, and surely no-one suspected that director Clint Eastwood (and DiCaprio, who gives an excellent performance) planned to take what sounded like a straightforward biopic and turn it into a gay love story. Hoover’s closeted passion for Clyde Tolson (Armie Hammer) takes up much of the two-hour-plus running-time – but the film is above all claustrophobic, a private nightmare (bolstered by Tom Stern’s sepulchral photography) that feels like it’s taking place entirely in its antihero’s head.

THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY: I wasn’t too enthused about this Japanese cartoon version of The Borrowers (maybe because the story is familiar) – but I hadn’t counted on Hayao Miyazaki, the king of anime, who didn’t direct it himself (he’s now in his 70s) but wrote the script and supplies his usual bittersweet sensibility. Arrietty is another plucky Miyazaki heroine, like Chihiro in Spirited Away (2001) and Kiki in Kiki’s Delivery Service (1989), and her adventures in the gigantic human world are suitably thrilling – but her species is becoming extinct, and her friendship with a human boy (who himself is sick, and probably dying) is doomed to failure. A sad, beautiful fi lm, best seen in its Japanese-language version, the better to emphasise its distance from American kidpics.

HOUSE OF TOLERANCE: Another beautiful film (French this

What to Expect When You’re Expecting Five couples find their lives turned upside-down by the challenges of impending parenthood. TV fitness guru Jules (Cameron Diaz) and danceshow star Evan (Matthew Morrison) find that their high-octane celebrity lives don’t stand a chance against the surprise demands of pregnancy. Baby-crazy author and advocate Wendy (Elizabeth Banks) gets a taste of her own advice when pregnancy hormones ravage her body; while Wendy’s husband Gary (Ben Falcone) struggles not to be outdone by his competi-

time), set in a smart Parisian brothel at the turn of the 20th century.

There’s the madam, raising two kids and trying to make ends meet; Julie, affectionately known as “Caca”; Algerian-born Samira; and, in the background, Madeleine, the “Woman who Laughs”, her face slashed into a permanent Joker-like grin by a sadistic client – a reminder of the girls’ essential helplessness, even as the lush visuals delight and the ode to Sisterhood unfolds in a natural, non-pushy way. Also manages to display lots of skin (inevitably, given the subject) yet remain entirely non-exploitative.

THE MILL AND THE CROSS: I was planning to go with Beginners here, which is certainly among the best films of last year – but Beginners won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar (for Christopher Plummer), so you’ve probably seen it already. This, on the other hand, is ‘difficult’ and basically indescribable, a semi-plotless mediaeval tone-poem directly inspired by Pieter Brueghel’s painting ‘The Procession to Calvary’. The visuals (a mix of actors, landscapes and CGI) are unique, the whole thing done in virtuoso style – and, though I recall being a tiny bit bored at the time, six months later I still remember it.

THE WOMAN: Because horror fans are people too – and they deserve better than Piranha 3DD. This slow-burning, not particularly blooddrenched tale of a deeply twisted ‘ordinary’ family who capture a feral woman in the woods and keep her prisoner builds and builds, then erupts into the most ruthless, most disturbing climax in recent memory.

I could never bring myself to watch it again – but I’m glad I watched it…

Fish with big teeth Piranha 3DD has man-eating fish, plus David Hasselhoff starring in his own private meta-joke - but very little wit, originality or likeable characters

A

lmost any fi lm would be improved by the addition of piranhas. Prometheus would’ve been much more fun if those astronauts had found man-eating fi sh on that distant planet (instead of Engineers or whatever), The Avengers would’ve benefited from a piscine supervillain with big teeth, and anyone who sat through What to Expect When You’re Expecting will have wished more than once for a shoal of piranhas to turn up and tear its whiny cast to pieces.

The only exception to this rule is Piranha 3DD, which already has all the piranhas it needs (some would say it has even more). This is one of those rare fi lms which would only be improved by non-piranha-related things – things like wit, originality, imaginative plotting and likeable characters. All of which it singularly lacks.

It does have a certain crude logic, though. Where, for instance – having already exhausted the spring-break scenario in Piranha 3D – is the perfect setting for piranha mayhem that will also encourage the display of nubile skin? Simple: a waterpark!

– but a sexed-up one called “The Big Wet”, upgraded with an “Adult Pool” and a so-called “cooch-cam” strategically placed to capture the naked ladies as they emerge from the water. (“Double D swims for free!” declares the park’s sleazy owner.) Or,

PIRANHA 3DD for instance, what would be the best way to combine sex and piranhas, the franchise’s two abiding preoccupations? Simple: have a piranha emerge during sex! The mechanics of how it got there may be a bit implausible but you have to give the fi sh credit for laying low and biding its time, not to mention mad props for boldly going where no piranha has gone before.

Sex is risky in Piranha 3DD; another scene has a devout couple in the back of a van asking God to forgive their fornication, then stripping down and breaking out the handcuffs – but God clearly isn’t in a forgiving mood because the girl accidentally releases the handbrake, the van slides into piranha-infested water and … well, you know. Some may wonder at the subtext of a movie that drools so unabashedly at female flesh yet appears so ambivalent about the act itself (can we say self-loathing?), but fans wouldn’t care about all that if the fi lm delivered. Alas, it falls short.

Piranha 3D was no classic, but it did twist, rupture and otherwise disintegrate the human body in a breathtaking variety of ways. Its big piranha attack threw up one inventive splatter image after another (remember the half-eaten girl who literally broke in two when would-be rescuers lifted up her body?), then redeemed itself with an underwater ballet of surprising loveliness.

Everything is man-made, and ruled by bottledair tycoon Mr O’Hare. Leaving Thneedville on his quest,Ted finds the ageing Once-ler (voice of Ed Helms), who confesses to having caused the felling of all the trees in his pursuit of profits. But it’s The Lorax (voice of Danny DeVito), the fluff y orange guardian of trees, who helps Ted understand the importance of trees – so, when Onceler remorsefully urges Ted to do something about it, Ted takes on Mr O’Hare’s empire to give people back the trees. Also with the voices of Rob Riggle and Betty White. Directed by Chris Renaud. In 3D. (Kids’ cartoon, 86 mins.)

17 16th International Festival of Ancient Greek Drama With performances by a variety of theatre groups. July 3- 31. Each performance will be staged at a variety of theatres around the island.

9pm. €17. €10 (Senior Citizens, Students and National Guard). Tel: 99 542 165/ 99 388 160. www.cyprus-theatre-iti.org

The month of July will again be taken over by ancient Greek drama reports ZOE CHRISTODOULIDES

H

igh drama around the island will no doubt be giving local crowds a good deal to fi xate on during the course of the month as the annual Ancient Drama Festival comes to life. Set to draw crowds towards a number of theatres including the Paphos Ancient Odeon, the Curium Amphitheatre and the Makarios III Amphitheatre, preparations are taking place under the auspices of the Cyprus EU Presidency Council.

The Chorals in this piece will be interpreted in ancient Greek and follow the rules of Prosody.

Then there’ll also be Magdalena Zira and her theatre group which will be bringing to life Aristophanes’ Frogs. Dimitris Zavros’ musical synthesis will accompany the performance combining tradition and innovation. All in all, it’s set to be a delightful comedy in which the god of drama Dionysus himself appears.

On the international front, you can anticipate the arrival

Festival of laughter and tragedy While international performers will travel to Cyprus from Germany, Israel and the United Kingdom, the representation of the local and Greek theatre groups will also be rather rich.

The festival will kick off with a performance by THOK with Electra and Orestes: the Trial based on Aeschylus, Euripides and Sophocles. Directed and adapted by Hanan Snir, the Israeli talent is well known to friends of the festival who may well remember his rather beautiful direction of Antigone which was presented in 2008 by the Cameri and the Habimah theatre.

But THOK isn’t the only local group taking part in the event, with the Mitos Theatre Group also set to do their thing, presenting Euripides’ Bacchae.

of the German State Wiesbaden Theatre who will come to Cyprus to present Agamemnon’s Children. This production is the fi rst to depict the entire, interconnected story of Agamemnon’s children. The text is based on plays by Euripides (Iphigenia at Aulis, Orestes and Iphigenia in Tauris) as well as Sophocles’ Electra. The synthesis of the four plays gives the audience the opportunity to view the lives of Agamemnon’s children from different points of view, as their destiny and their actions make them both victimisers and victims in the cycle of violence inherent in the Atreides’ myth.

As for other highlights on the agenda, The Ruth Kanner Theatre Group from Israel will present The Eumenides by Aeschylus in a magnificent trans-

Exhibition Golden Roots Solo painting exhibition by Andreas C. Chrysafis. Opens July 2, 8pm until July 20.

lation by poet Ted Hughes. As director Ruth Kanner writes in her notes: “With dramatic sweep and by means of an exciting plot, the text brings human central confl icts to the stage”.

The diachronic danger of enflamed violence is real and aweinspiring, bound to have audiences rather gripped.

To add to all the excitement comes a performance by Skull of Yorick Productions from the UK, a group who will be presenting Opera Antigone

by Tommaso Traetta based on Sophocles’ ancient play. The internationally famed Greek soprano Jenny Drivala will interpret Antigone while Philippos Modinos will be playing the part of Creon.

That’s not to forget the talented Greek groups that will

be jetting over, with the Neos Kosmos Theatre and director Vangelis Theodoropoulos participating in the festival with The Assembly Women by Aristophanes; a joyful comedy which unfolds a series of hilarious scenes. The Morphes Ekphrasis Theatre will also be taking part in the event, dedicating Electra

by Sophocles to Dimitris Rontiris on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the great director and teacher’s death. After successfully travelling all over Greece with the play, this dynamic presentation of ancient Greek drama will give the opportunity to theatre lovers to enjoy a classical staging of the piece. Keep in mind that all performances on the agenda will be staged in Greek with English subtitles.

And if a story of class, love and a battle of the sexes is of interest to you then you may well want to get your mitts on tickets for Miss Julie, in a groundbreaking Patrick Marmper adaptation of the Swedish play originally written in 1888

by August Strindberg.

To be staged in Cyprus by XMAS Productions and directed by Athena Xenidou, it will be performed at a number of theatres around this island both this month and next. As the play comes to life you’ll meet aristocrat Julie (Christie Papadopoulos), the servant John (Alexis Georgoulis) and his fiancée Christina (Nedi Andoniadou) located in the whirlwind struggle of the classes and merciless conflict of gender in a fierce game of passion, power and betrayal.

With summer settling on the island a need has grown to be closer to the sea to enjoy Cyprus’ beauty and nightlife in all its glory. Bellini, situated on Limassol’s sea front, encompasses all the key elements of a perfect summer night – drinks, music and the sea at your feet.

Bellini is divided into three descending levels: the dining area, the main bar area which consists of two bars and an array of tables, couches and stools, and the third and lowest level which unfolds like a deck onto the sea and consists of more tables. Being a summer venue, the décor at Bellini is very Mediterranean, the furniture made mainly of white bamboo, white stools, couches and pouffes, and a vintage looking grey parquet floor.

The two main bars are made of white tiles and the only hint of colour can be seen in the top level in the dining area where the wallpaper and lampshades are splashed with vivid red and orange shades.

A Friday night at Bellini is a night of style, fun and glamour as the venue hosts a number of events revolving around the theme ‘Fashion Fridays’. World famous DJs are frequent guests at Bellini, playing a selection of house and mainstream music and the summer agenda includes big names such as DJ Ravin from Buddha Bar in Paris on July 6 and Carlos Campos from Barrio Latino.

Drinks at Bellini are priced between €7 and €10, with cocktails at €8-10. It is open from the evening until early morning and on weekends it is open from 12am, serving lunch as well as dinner. The cuisine at Bellini is a fusion of Mediterranean dishes and sushi dishes and there is also a menu with different flavoured shishas to enjoy after a meal or with a drink.

Bellini is a must on everyone’s summer outings agenda, the gorgeous setting and exciting events a guarantee for a fun night out. Inspired by the name of the famous champagne cocktail, Bellini possesses those special elements of glamour and elegance that every summer bar should have.

FASHION 21 Buffed leather top from a selection at Celine

Leather’s hot There are plenty of cool ways to wear skin says KAREN DACRE

Double breasted leather look jacket from Zara

I

magine a hot, balmy Saturday afternoon - not dissimilar to the one we enjoyed last weekend and can expect to for the foreseeable future. The air is muggy, the breeze is slight and you are slipping into a soft cotton shift dress in anticipation of the day ahead. Now, imagine how it would feel to slip out of that easy breezy cotton shift and into a pair of skin-skimming leather trousers. Does that sound like an inviting option? No, I didn’t think so either, and yet fashionistas are doing just that.

It all began with Sofia Helin (aka the coolest woman on the planet), star of BBC4’s recent Scandi thriller The Bridge. A fervent advocate of a cigarette-cut pair of black leather trousers, Helin’s protagonist Saga Norén is at the fore of an accidental PR campaign which looks set to ensure that leather and hide are among the most coveted fabric choices of the summer - irrespective of their practicality issues. And who could blame us for falling hook, line and sinker for Norén’s unique charms?

While we partake in a daily battle with too tight summer shorts and gaping shirts, Norén’s radar fails to register fashion and its frivolity there’s no time for that. Instead she remains loyal to her faithful leather trousers/T-shirt combo. The result: a look that is simple, effortless and, most importantly, achingly cool.

But this infatuation doesn’t begin and end with leather trousers, it includes skirts, shorts and dresses too. At least it does for us civilians – I doubt Norén would ever dabble in anything so light-hearted. And thank goodness it does: while the thought

Laser cut leather top from Whistles

of pulling on a pair of skin tight pants in the heat may be too much for most to bear, a leather skirt or slouch-cut pair of shorts makes for an altogether more inviting option.

Pioneered on the catwalk by a number of designers who sought to experiment with skins in their S/S 2012 offerings, summer leather is among the season’s key fabrics. For her Americana extravaganza which featured hot-rod cars and pleated Fifties skirts, Miuccia Prada created side-skimming leather pencil skirts in butter-soft leather, while in her collection for Céline, Phoebe Philo unveiled tunic dresses and loose-fit T-shirts in buffed versions of the fabric. Leather trousers à la Norén were also seen on the runways of Altuzarra and Balmain.

To really embrace this hot - and rather sticky - moment in summer fashion, it is essential we view leather in a whole new light. While it was once a fabric for Harley Davidson riders or Vauxhall Club attendees, it is now a valid, feminine choice for style plates - and not just those who have been glued to The Bridge box set.

For a summer wedding outfit with an edge, Whistles has a host of lovely leathery options including a scalloped-edge pencil skirt and top in nude and a stunning laser-cut tunic, while Zara has a studded biker jacket which, when teamed with a soft silk dress, will make for the ultimate formalwear cover-up. For pleated leather skirts inspired by the work of Mrs Prada, head to Warehouse, which has an amiably priced interpretation in sky blue. And if it’s Norén’s leather trousers you’re after, US denim brand J Brand has the perfect pair. Now, let us pray for a cold snap.

22 BEAUTY

Creams with benefits Is it a cream? Is it make up? No, it’s a BB cream!

B

B creams are the latest buzz in the retail beauty world and have become very popular with consumers. BB stands for blemish balm, beauty balm or beauty benefit. This type of cream has been a very popular part of beauty culture in Asia for years, but it has only hit western shores in the last year. The concept originated way back in 1950s Germany when dermatologist Dr Christine Schrammek developed a special beauty balm that served as a soothing and protective cream and had a little colour in it for coverage purposes, for post surgery faces. That concept has morphed into a product which is a sort of tinted moisturiser with benefits.

Its main attraction is that it is supposed to give the skin a dewy and more evened out look and will slightly lessen the look of marks and blemishes due to the slight covering or reflective effect. So it is similar to the tinted moisturisers of old in that they make the skin look a little clearer. The difference today is that they are a little more specialised, as some are formulated for oily skins and have a matt, dryer finish; some have a reflective finish; various sun protection factors or have special skin and pore refining effects which are either instant and cosmetic or long term treatment oriented or both. Some BB creams also boast whitening or sun stain fading ingredients, again either instantly or as a long term treatment and this type has always been popular in Asia and the Far East.

Since 2011, when the expression BB appeared on the UK mainstream

It seems BB creams sound like a great and innovative idea, but maybe not right for everyone

beauty eauty market, several brands have l d their th i own version. i F released From reading articles, blogs, and beauty literature, it seems BB creams sound like a great and innovative idea, but not necessarily right for everyone.

They are after all well marketed tinted moisturisers with benefits! Some of these creams may be either a little too drying for some skins, or too waxy or oily. And, if you have dark areas under the eyes or a blemish, you are going to need the coverage of foundation or concealer on those areas.

If any product, with sunscreen in it or not, touts itself as having ingredients that help fade sun damage, I would avoid using it during sunny or hot weather, as it may cause even more sun staining because those ingredients render the skin a little more sensitive to the sun. Another thing which seems apparent is that the creams should not be used instead of or

without your no normal moisturiser. BB creams are more like a primer. They are not designed to hydrate and protect in the same way as a moisturiser and are not categorised or made available for particular skin types.

Having said all that, the marketing of this ‘new’ idea obviously works, because I am now itching to get my hands on some of them to try out! I am quite lazy when it comes to my own make up and face care, and the idea that I can use a product that is quicker and easier to blend in than foundation, albeit with less effective cover, sounds interesting. I am also curious to see whether I can fi nd one which has a texture and finish that is just right for my particular skin type and colour, as they don’t come in many colour variations.

I prefer the original idea of a soothing, nurturing balm which actually works like a proper moisturiser for

sensitive or post surgery skin, with some cosmetic coverage pigments in it. In theory the BB concept sounds good and I believe it has a ‘newness’ appeal to it. It sounds like something completely different and so makes us want it. In practice however, it is trying to do too many jobs at once.

In theory, a product that is used over your usual day cream to replace foundation if you have quite clear skin should work very well. It will be popular with women who don’t like the look or feel of foundation or who like to look ultra natural. If they are also lucky enough to fi nd a BB cream that has just the right texture for them, then great. Some BB creams will be perfect for some people and of no use at all to others, who may fi nd that they are better suited to individual products that are more targeted in what they do. There’s only one way to fi nd out…

Milan menswear splashes colour on grey times

By Antonella Ciancio

First timers: Sicilian men on the Dolce & Gabbana catwalk

Menswear designers showcased colourful jackets, mid-thigh shorts and sockless loafers in Milan this week to impress men who need more than grey suits to shine in tough economic times.

The Milan fashion shows that ended on Tuesday brought fresh ideas to an industry starting to feel the pinch of the euro crisis.

Star shoemaker Ferragamo, renowned for its classic elegance, surprised the wellheeled audience at an all-white Milan stock exchange with models in coloured suits and sneakers.

Trend-setter Prada explored new coloured, geometric patterns and Roberto Cavalli swapped his signature animal prints for a butterfly theme.

A tribute to the sunny Italian summer came from Gucci,

whose men looked like holidaymakers in watermelon, green and sky blue suits.

“My starting point was a blatant desire for colour to evoke summer,” said Gucci’s creative director, Frida Giannini.

Armed with new ideas, fashion executives shrugged off concerns about a slowdown in Europe as Asian shoppers continue to travel. But some acknowledged there were challenges ahead, even in the fastgrowing Eastern markets.

In Milan, fashion executives and designers put a brave face on the challenging times. Italian businessman Diego Della Valle called for “real men” to stand united against the crisis.

“We need normal, quality men. We need to act together for change,” the head of luxury shoemaker Tod’s said at the launch of “Italian portraits”, which featured pictures of self-

confident businessmen in informal suits and leather loafers.

Italian fashion doyen Giorgio Armani created sporty jackets and pleated trousers for a new relaxed “American Gigolo” look that seduces with natural elegance. “Excess leads nowhere,” he said.

Glamorous fashion house Versace, however, shocked its audience with daring men in gladiator sandals and boxing belts. Trouser suits came with sleeveless jackets and metallic shirts - a theme also seen at British brand Burberry, where collars shone under the natural light fl ooding the catwalk.

It was up to celebrity designers Dolce & Gabbana to bring glamour back down to earth, with more than 70 ordinary Sicilian men, all fi rsttimers on the runway, modelling striped shirts amid rows of green cacti.

HEALTH 23

Plantoftheweek

BY ALEXANDER MCCOWAN

Eat yourself beautiful REBECCA NEWMAN finds that eating right for your body type can be as effective as any diet

A

mid the prevailing health opinion on any given day – eat eggs/ don’t eat eggs; carbs are great/carbs make you fat – has it ever struck you that, just maybe, we are not all created equal? When it comes to food at any rate. I’ve recently discovered two intriguing initiatives designed to tailor your diet specifically to your body type, banishing lethargy, discomfort and bloating, optimising your general health and – wait for it – even making you beautiful.

Sounds pretty good to me.

Skinny genes Professor Elena Baranova spent the fi rst part of her career as an award winning geneticist. Latterly she has brought her experience to designing bespoke nutrition programmes to teach doctors and clients how to live – in particular, how to eat to promote youth, vitality and beauty.

Each client goes through a seven-page questionnaire and consultation with Elena (she consults in London by appointment, or via Skype from Monaco), as well as a DNA test. Once she has assessed your genetic make-up, Elena can design a diet whose specific nutrients have a range of bespoke benefits to address your needs, including promoting appropriate levels of hormones and digestive enzymes, and regulating gene activity to slow down gene degeneration. She has also created a new collection of supplements designed to support the plan.

This enables her to analyse your autonomic nervous system (which controls your digestion, immune system and body temperature) and your oxidative type (the rate at which your cells make energy from food).

She discovers that I am a fast oxidiser – ie, someone who converts food swiftly – and that for me eating an orange, for example, will boost undesirable levels of acidity; for a slow oxidiser, an orange would have a positive alkaline effect. There is

Dye used as war paint and mosquito repellent Name: Bloodroot (Sanguinaria Canadensis) Otherwise known as: Pucoon, Indian Paint, Redroot Habitat: A creeping, perennial member of the Papaveraceae, growing up to 60cm in woodlands in central Canada and northern United States. It has a delicate rhizome and single, palmately lobed leaves with scalloped edges. The stems terminate in a single white poppy type flower. Large doses induce vomiting, diarrhoea and narcotic trances.

What does it do: Bloodroot is one of the traditional medicinal plants of the northern Native Americans that was adopted by the Eclectics, a group of early settler physicians and used to treat a range of ailments. The Mohawk and the Huron tribes extracted an orange/red dye and used it as war-paint, also it served as a powerful midge and mosquito repellent; it was this practice which led to the discovery that the plant was effective in removing moles and warts. Bloodroot is mildly anaesthetic and was applied to the skin before some of the more painful initiation ceremonies undertaken by Mohawk youths. It is antiseptic, antispasmodic, antibacterial, cardioactive, stimulating to the womb and circulatory system, mildly anaesthetic, and emetic in large doses. In traditional medicine it is used externally to treat warts, moles, fungal infections such as ringworm, varicose ulcers, some topical tumours, and the dried root is powdered and inhaled like snuff to treat nasal polyps. Internally, bloodroot was given as drops to combat asthma, croup, whooping cough, pneumonia, emphysema, and to halt bleeding in tubercular lungs. Current herbal practice no longer favours the internal use of the plant as it can induce nausea and vomiting.

Modern research indicates that the traditional claims that bloodroot would cure some skin cancers are valid, and that experiments being conducted in Japan on methods to reduce brain tumours have included the use of the alkaloid berberine. Another constituent, sanguinarine, is now known to prevent dental plaque and is to be found in a number of proprietary toothpastes.

Bloodroot is used to stimulate appetite in humans and cattle and is used by veterinarians as a natural antibiotic for domestic animals.

PAPERBACKS

By William Leith The Uncoupling

By Meg Wolitzer

I love Meg Wolitzer. Her novels remind me of Anne Tyler’s; sometimes you even feel a dash of John Updike. This one is set in a middle-class community in New Jersey. Dory and Robby Lang are teachers at a high school. They are responsible, decent and also good fun - and they have a fabulous sex life.

Then a new teacher arrives - the feisty Fran Heller. Things start to happen.

Drama teacher Fran puts on a play - Lysistrata, a Greek play in which women go on a sex strike. And then, all over Stellar Plains, women lose their libido.

Suddenly, Dory doesn’t want Robby.

Unthinkable. And yet, as of now, universal. And weird. But compelling.

Death in the City of Light

By David King

In this true story, which is gruesome, police find a house full of body parts in the centre of Nazi-occupied Paris. It’s a posh house; in fact, neighbouring houses have been commandeered by the Gestapo. It belongs to a doctor with a chequered past, who seems to be a cross between Harold Shipman and Ted Bundy. All his adult life, people around him have disappeared without trace. Also, it looks as if he’s a big time morphine dealer. But where is he? A detective, Georges-Victor Massu, brilliantly realised, gets to work. And things get more and more disturbing as he goes on. You won’t read many better true crime books.

Darkest side of human nature

By John Preston In September 2001, a man walking across Tower Bridge saw what he thought was a dummy floating in the water wearing a pair of bright redorange shorts. As he came closer, he saw that it was a human torso.

An autopsy showed that the body belonged to a boy aged between five and 10. And there was something else it revealed: the boy’s body had been drained of blood.

At the time Richard Hoskins was the senior lecturer in African religions at Bath University. “In my midthirties, I was very close to being a contented man,” he says. All that, though, was about to change. With their investigations going nowhere, the police called in Hoskins to see if he could help. The more he learned, the more appalled he became.

To begin with, he thought that the boy, dubbed “Adam” by the police, had been killed as part of a South African practice called “muti” - taking body parts for magic. In muti, the body parts are often removed while the victim is still alive: “They think the parts get greater power from the victim’s screams.”

However, there were a number of things that didn’t add up. The boy’s genitals had been left intact

- not normal practice in muti. Also his internal organs hadn’t been removed - again, not normal practice.

But Hoskins’ suspicions of what had actually happened were just as appalling. The boy, he became sure, had been sacrificed: “Sacrifice was about a transferral of power via the spilling of blood, the life force.” He narrowed his search to the Yoruba tribe in south-west Nigeria and to a cult known as the Guru Maharaj, whose “sacred colour” was a bright red-orange.

By now Hoskins and the police team realised they were dealing with a degree of depravity they’d never encountered before - “We were now entering a different world.” Yet it was a world that Hoskins wasn’t entirely unfamiliar with. As a young man, and a committed Christian, he had gone to work in a medical centre in the Congo. While he was there, his then wife had given birth to twin girls.

One of the girls died at birth but the other appeared perfectly healthy.

One day a colleague of Hoskins warned him that the dead twin was calling to her sister - “to join her in the shadowlands”. If Hoskins didn’t want to lose his daughter, he must make a sacrifice. At the time he took no notice, but a few weeks later his

The Boy in the River

By Richard Hoskins

daughter died. Ever since, Hoskins had been less dismissive - and more fearful - of the power of magic. His search for Adam’s killers also became a journey back into his own darkness.

Far from being an isolated incident, he realised that Adam’s murder was part of an “unspeakable new trend” whereby African children are tortured - and sometimes killed – in a bid to drive out demons. This was what happened with Victoria Climbié, murdered by her great-aunt and her boyfriend in Haringey, and with “Child B”, who survived but only at the cost of being cut, beaten, starved and having chilli peppers rubbed in her eyes.

As well as being an important book for all sorts of reasons, The Boy in the River is a remarkable one. The horror it evokes will be matched by a sense of disbelief that such appalling things are happening, now, in London. What makes it all the more powerful is the deliberately measured manner in which it is written.

Throughout, there’s a sense that Hoskins is struggling to maintain his own equilibrium, his own sanity even, as he explores what he calls, with ample justification, “the darkest underbelly of human nature”.

Lay the Favourite

By Beth Raymer

Beth Raymer, an adventurous woman from Florida, has been a waitress, an “in-home stripper”, an amateur boxer, and an assistant to two men who made fortunes in sports gambling. This is her memoir; it has also been made into a film with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Raymer is sharp, quick and ballsy. You are caught up in the rush of her life; she falls in and out of love quickly, which adds to the pace. The best bits are when she gets caught up in the mania of gambling - she’s brilliant at describing sleazy guys, and seems to have a soft spot for them. The best is “Dink” Heimowitz – an obsessive gambler with awful toenails and a green tongue.

City of doggerel and visionaries Finding a

By AN Wilson First, let it be said that for bookish Londoners or those who love the city all your Christmas and birthday problems are solved. Here is a rich, poetic evocation of the city by one who is himself a learned poet; and dull would he be of soul who did not find something to enjoy in its voluminous bulk. That said, this compiler has set himself a formidable task: not merely an anthology of verse about London but A History in Verse. There are some really great poems about London, such as Wordsworth’s Sonnet on Westminster Bridge, but they do not tell us much about the city’s history.

The result is a doorstopper, bulging with the very familiar (Oranges and Lemons), and the less familiar (George Eliot’s surprisingly bad poem, In a London Drawing Room, or UA Fanthorpe’s Rising Damp, a surprisingly good one about the lost rivers of London).

Naturally, one of the pleasures of reading an anthology - vexing as it is to the compiler to state this obvious fact - is puzzling over omissions.

If he’s going to put in bad doggerel by ASJ Tessimond (“Already men are brushing up/Brown leaves around the saddened parks” - and yes, you guessed it, “parks” will rhyme with “Karl Marx”) then why not have the good doggerel of Noël Coward’s London Pride? (“Grey city, sleepily enchanted, taken so for granted for a thousand years”). If you are going to have pages of frankly tedious smut by Rochester, why not have some of our contemporary, extremely ungallant smut by Craig Raine about a dead lover picking up rough trade on the Underground? The omission of the uneven but undoubtedly real poet Raine is all the more striking when you turn the last, dire 30 pages of living poets. Surely it would have been better to end on a high than whimper to the end with quite so much tosh?

London: a History In Verse Edited by Mark Ford

Three Houses, Many Lives is the bookish equivalent of herbal tea, a subtle, delicate and slightly dotty choice of refreshment. It’s a variation in a minor key upon Gillian Tindall’s magnificent The House on The Thames.

The books share the same central idea: the house as a plumb-line down into the depths of the past, providing a path for us to follow through the centuries. It’s a not uncommon device but no other author could have spun such a confection as Tindall does from the slender resources of the three houses covered here.

None of them is particularly distinguished, the antiquity of each has been overlooked, and in each case a lot of vital details are still missing.

ell Parsons, the narrator of this powerful, mesmeric story, tells us about the summer and autumn of 1960, when he was 15 and his life changed forever. Told like that, you might think this is a story about a kid losing his virginity. And it is, tangentially – although the circumstances are very unusual, to say the least. But mostly, it’s a story about a kid whose parents rob a bank.

One of the wonderful things about Richard Ford is that he can make people who do outlandish things, such as rob banks, seem almost normal. Dell explains how his father, who was in the Air Force during the war, became involved in small-time crime; he set up as a middle man in a racket involving stolen beef. One day, he delivers the

beef but can’t collect the money, making him vulnerable to threats.

He can’t think what to do so he comes up with a plan - he’ll hold up a bank, using his old Air Force pistol. He recruits his wife as the getaway driver.

All this is told from the perspective of Dell, a naive kid who likes chess, is interested in bees, and has a twin sister, Berner. Dell is a geek; Berner seems much older. She has a boyfriend, she smokes, and she’s desperate to run away from home

- a rented house in the smallest of small towns in Montana.

Then there’s the robbery. I won’t tell you how it turns out. But Ford is superb at suspense. Twice in the book, you know something very bad is going to happen. You just don’t know quite when, or quite how. At fi rst, Dell spots cars cruising past his home, over and over. Then, after his parents have been away on their mysterious trip, they act oddly - and, in fact, are never the same again. Ford captures exactly the way people in trouble never give you a straight answer. There’s a lovely scene, as the tension approaches breaking point, when Dell watches his father, Bev, try to complete a jigsaw puzzle. On the face of it, Bev is a dreadful man - dishonest and self-important. But Ford tells you lots of perfectly-placed details

about him; he makes you see him through Dell’s eyes. And weirdly, you feel for him.

This is a book about dysfunctional lives in a bleak North America that existed half a century ago - it sometimes has the feel of Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood.

What a backdrop - you feel as if anything might happen here. It’s like the last knockings of the Wild West. In the aftermath of the crime, Dell escapes across the border into Canada, where life is even more marginal. Here people live in shacks, shoot geese and deer - and eventually, at the book’s climax, each other.

This is a story about adolescence, about crime, about broken families, and about trying to escape. It’s very engaging, and, in the end, quite sad.

The most exciting inhabitants belong to the Limpsfield house, as Lord Chesterfield’s secret daughter-in-law, Eugenia Stanhope, bought it with the proceedings of publishing his famously black hearted and worldly correspondence.

Despite the lack of celebrities, though, each house seems to Tindall “to exemplify in its own way something about the everyday history of England over the past 300 years”.

From each building she riffs off endlessly, into railways, the Church of England, the villa, urban sprawl, and the nature of archives.

On top of that, though, she has a personal link to each of them. The first house was Tindall’s hated Surrey boarding school, another she happened across on a pilgrimage to north London to fi nd out exactly where a rakish boyfriend actually lived, while

Your energy and enthusiasm may decline after Mars moves out of your sign on Tuesday but that is no excuse not to finish what you’ve started. You have a reputation for delivering on your promises: it would be a shame to lose it simply because you could not be bothered.

LIBRA Sept 24 -Oct 23

Andreas Diamantides

If you have ever wanted to be more ambitious, if you have ever wanted material success, then now is the time to do something about it. Mars, planet of action and energy, remains in your birth sign for the next seven weeks - more than enough time to make your mark.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22

Although one part of your mind may fear the worst this week another part will tell you that even if the worst should happen it will not be the end of the world: it could even be the start of something better.

You are likely to see quite a few changes over the next few weeks.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 23 - Dec 21

Even if you are the most carefree of Sagittarians you will find something to worry about this week. Full Moons affect everyone but this one will affect you more than most if you let your fears get the better of you. Whatever it is, it’s not as bad as it seems.

CAPRICORN Foni Pantakidou and Haris Pavlides

Dec 22 - Jan 20

This is potentially one of the best weeks of the year for you but it won’t be without conflicts, possibly with powerful people. As Mars fires your ambition a Full Moon in your birth sign will shorten your fuse. Despite that, anything is now possible if you want it enough.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19

You appear to believe certain people don’t like you and are trying to avoid you. Most likely it is your imagination playing tricks on you, but even if you’re right, why should it bother you? You’ve got it all the wrong way round - they should be trying to impress you.

PISCES

Feb 20 - March 20

July 1, 2012• SUNDAY MAIL

Be careful what you agree to this week as a sudden rush of enthusiasm for something you know little about could cost you dear in the future. It might be fun to begin with but it won’t be fun when the bills start coming in and you’re having trouble paying them.

meet a passel of hot girls staying at the same cottage - but it turns out the girls are lesbians, which is bad enough but then they’re also vampires. And, you know, killers. A fi lm for those who are always going on about the ‘English sense of humour’, and how dry and witty it is compared to the American - because it shows that Brits can totally match the Yanks when it comes to gore, raunch and bodily-fluid humour, not to mention weird Christian names: Mr. ‘Matthew with one t’ Horne is bad enough, but would you believe our heroine is played by an actress called MyAnna Buring? It’s enough to turn a girl into a lesbian vampire. Made in 2009.

Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny (PlusTV, 22.00) Long before Jack Black became a Hollywood actor he was known to music fans as one half of Tenacious D, the rock band he formed with ageing slaphead Kyle Gass - though in fact Black was always a wannabe actor, and the band always a bit of a joke (the joke being that two tubby white guys could add up to ‘The Greatest Rock Band in the World’). This patchy comedy relates how Tenacious D was born - kicking off “a long-ass f***in’ time ago in a town called Kickapoo,” to quote the sung prologue - and tells the stirring tale of the band’s quest for the fabled Guitar Pick of Destiny, created by a dark wizard with the help of Satan

MONDAY-FRIDAY 05:00 That Was The Year 06:00 Easy Going Gold 10:00 The Juke Box 17:00 That Was The Year 18:00 Oldies Overnights - Hear the greatest hits of all time playing non stop during the darkest hours.

Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny himself. Dave Grohl appears as Satan (if you don’t know who Dave Grohl is, don’t even think of watching this movie), with cameos by Meat Loaf and Ronnie James Dio - but the fi lm doesn’t always respect the fi ne line between rock’n roll madness and crude lowbrow comedy, though the prologue in particular is enjoyably demented. Foul-mouthed fun; made in 2006.

Choose (Novacinema3, 23.00) “The killer struck again last night, this time forcing a young girl to choose between the life of her mother or father.” Serial killers really need to stop watching so many Saw fi lms; they all want to be Jigsaw, playing sadistic games with their prey instead of just kill-

ing them already. “He makes the rules, you make the choice,” says the trailer for this little-known horror fl ick - and Katheryn Winnick is college student Fiona, a journalism major who may be the Choose Killer’s next victim, though her sheriff dad (Kevin Pollak) makes light of her fears. “A plucky young journalist uses the power of Google searching to solve a series of crimes that her father, a high-ranking police officer, inexplicably doesn’t seem to give a toss about,” as a sardonic Brit puts it at the Internet Movie Database, adding: “The script has unintentional laugh-out-loud moments, and that’s about the best I can say for this gently steaming pile of tepid naffness”. This fi lm or 90 minutes’ extra sleep? Choose! Made in 2011.

The kid (Cameron Bright) is smart and precocious, but surely insane when he claims to be the reincarnation of Nicole’s late hubby; her new fi ancé doesn’t think it’s funny at

all, but Nicole fi nds herself succumbing to the spell and ‘spell’ is the operative word, the boy standing for Magic more than anything, the sense of something hidden and primeval in a rational world. Ace director Jonathan Glazer also weaves a spell, in the use of music, tableaux in wintry light (as if Time itself stood still) and such little touches as the breeze that ruffles Kidman’s hair when the door opens bringing in a letter from the boy, like a spirit’s invisible caress. A strange, abstracted fi lm, though admittedly the spell peters out before the end. Made in 2004.

Shattered Silence (LTV, 21.00) Also known as Sexting in Suburbia - which makes it sound like a wacky comedy, whereas it’s actually a sombre drama about teen suicide. Liz Vassey is our heroine, loving mother of a 17-year-old daughter, at least till teenage Dina unaccountably hangs herself in her bedroom and distraught Mum discovers that her daughter was being cyber-bullied. An online search (“The internet never forgets”) soon uncovers evidence of harassment from fellow schoolmates, but the school doesn’t want to know - “Please stop this witch-hunt!” says the Principal, worried about the school’s reputation - and the offending teens’ parents are understandably hostile to Liz’s attempts to

Kung Fu Panda 2 punish those responsible. A made-for-TV drama, a genre which has always reflected hot-button issues: 30 years ago they were all about domestic violence and/or rape victims seeking justice, now they’re all about kids being stalked by online predators, viral videos and other Terrors of the Internet. “I feel sorry for teens these days glad facebook and shit werent [sic] around in my day,” reads a rueful comment on YouTube. Then again, at least they’ve got those cute videos of dancing kittens now. Made in 2012.

Kung Fu Panda 2 (Novacinema1, 22.00) I’ve got bad news, and I’ve got worse news. The bad news is that Kung Fu Panda 2 is a by-the-numbers

sequel to the fi rst KFP, a surprise smash-hit about a panda with a penchant for kung-fu. The worse news is that Nova are showing the dubbed-into-Greek version, so you don’t even get Jack Black’s amusing bluster as Po, the panda in question - or indeed Gary Oldman as Shen the peacock, an evil despot haunted by a prophecy that he’ll someday be vanquished by “a warrior of black and white”. Shen does a King Herod on pandas, trying to pre-empt the prophecy, but baby Po escapes the panda-cide and grows into his goofy self - though the joke of a kung-fu panda may have run its course, especially since Po is now a famous warrior so the fi lm is less comic and more action-packed. Strictly for the small fry. Made in 2011.

Is this fi lm going to take you back in Time - maybe to the days when you were a kid and appreciated gags about exploding gadgets and talking dogs? Well, yes - but also no, because 4D in this fourth Spy Kids movie refers to ‘Aromascope’, a gimmick adding the sense of smell to the fi lm experience (cinema audiences had special scratch-and-sniff cards, and scratched off a

Jessica Alba is a ‘spy mum’, trying to conceal her James (or Jane) Bond credentials from her new stepchildren - but then the kids fi nd out and become spy kids, meeting the aforementioned talking dog (voiced by Ricky Gervais) and going after a villain called the Timekeeper. All quite silly but revelling in its silliness, like previous Spy Kids fi lms - and the franchise may be juvenile but at least it isn’t cynical, and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves. I love the smell of kidpic in the morning. Made in 2011.

El Dorado (CyBC2, 21.45) Yay, classic Westerns on CyBC! Turns out Once Upon a Time in the West [see Sunday] wasn’t a fluke, though this one - made two years earlier - is in some ways its polar opposite, not a revisionist spaghetti Western but an old master (director Howard Hawks) following up Rio Bravo with something equally laidback and discursive. John Wayne was paired with Dean Martin in the earlier fi lm, but here it’s Robert Mitchum - and here it’s the sheriff (Mr. Mitchum) who’s the drunk, joining forces with cowboy Wayne and a motley crew of sidekicks to fight a nasty rancher. The plot is mostly an excuse for a certain stylised atmosphere (lots of evocative night-time exteriors)

Happythankyoumoreplease and a certain view of the West - a place where everyone knows each other but even best friends hide their affection, a moving hymn to deep-rooted bonds; as the opening song puts it, “There’s much more to life than things we can see”. Delightful, and richly emotional behind the easy-going surface. Made in 1966.

Happythankyoumoreplease (Novacinema1, 22.00) Funnytitlemakesnosense - but then neither do the lives of our five heroes, late 20-somethings in bohemian New York. Sam (Josh Radnor, who also wrote and directed) is a struggling writer who semi-adopts a lost little boy he fi nds on the subway; Malin Aker-

man is Annie, who suffers from alopecia (a.k.a. baldness) but is trying to be thankful, having been told by a cabbie that “the key to your life is gratitude; you do not give enough thanks” (whatever happened to New York cabbies being rude and driving like maniacs?); Kate Mara is a singer, Zoe Kazan a girl who’s unhappy with her boyfriend (Pablo Schreiber). “With very little modification, the relationship woes in this self-absorbed indie could be reworked into episodes of TV’s How I Met Your Mother,” wrote Entertainment Weekly - maybe because Mr. Radnor plays Ted on that show - and it does give off that plastic sitcom vibe, its trendy people turning out to be basically hollow.

Begin at the beginning, with the pre-credits sequence - a tour de force of tension as three men wait at a railway station, sitting impassively as repeated sounds (dripping water, a buzzing fl y, a creaky hinge) create a sense of mounting unease.

Then they meet Charles Bronson as ‘Harmonica’ (“Looks like we’re shy one horse”; “You brought two too many”), then we move on to the massacre at the farmhouse and Ennio Morricone’s score surg-

ing unforgettably as three men - led by Henry Fonda, cast against type as a thin-lipped killer - appear over the crest of a hill, their long coats swaying in the breeze. If the fi lm ended there, it would still be acclaimed as a masterwork - and in fact it might’ve been better if the fi lm had ended there, because the rest of it is muddled (something about the coming of the railroad, and Claudia Cardinale as a widow out for revenge) and defi nitely drags here and there. Clint Eastwood might’ve made it even better - but a stylish Western

Cat Ballou (Nova Classics, 21.00) Classic Westerns, part 2. Actually another patchy oldie, alternating delightful moments - mostly courtesy of Lee Marvin (who won an Oscar) and troubadours Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye (who appear at regular intervals to sing about the plot, a device copied in There’s Something About Mary) - with rather tedious build-up involving Jane Fonda and a couple of cowardly cowboys. She’s prim schoolteacher Cat Ballou, going up against the railroad like Claudia Cardinale in Once Upon a Time in the West (that

Larry Crowne darn railroad!) and seeking revenge after her father is killed; she turns to Marvin, as drunken gunfighter Kid Shelleen, though in fact Dad’s killer is also played by Marvin (with fake nose) and the Kid is in bad shape anyway, literally unable to hit the side of a barn when he shoots. A big hit, partly because the comedy Western was a new thing (there hadn’t been a good one since Bob Hope in Son of Paleface); still entertaining, five decades later. Made in 1965.

Larry Crowne (Novacinema1, 22.00) Classic Westerns, part ... oops sorry, no, it’s Larry Crowne - not a Western, or indeed much of anything really. Larry (Tom Hanks) is a super-nice guy

who loses his job. He’s made redundant because he doesn’t have a college degree - so he decides to enrol in an adult-education course taught by Julia Roberts, who gives the best performance in the movie just by not being super-nice (“What do men see in these irritating free spirits?” she grumbles, with some justification). Larry soon makes friends with his mildly eccentric classmates, getting adopted by a scooter gang (!) and hanging out with people half his age who presumably don’t mind his square-cut lack of personality; one of them, told to speak on Disraeli, reckons that must mean “a guy from Disrael”, which is typical of the general level. Still quite amiable, not to mention super-nice. Made in 2011.

PICK OF THE DAY Opening Ceremony of the EU Council Presidency (CyBC2, 20.00) A vox-pop in today’s Sunday Mail fi nds a certain amount of apathy regarding Cyprus’ EU Council Presidency; ‘It doesn’t affect me personally but I’m sure it must be a good thing’ seems to be the general response from the man and woman in the street - yet our politicians have been getting quite excited, making you wonder if they think we’re actually going to be in charge of the EU for six months (at last! our chance to solve the Cyprus Problem!) as opposed to chairing meetings and asking people to read the minutes of the last meeting. Not entirely sure what today’s opening ceremony at the Curium Amphithe-

atre will entail, but three things seem fairly clear: (a) President Christofi as will make a speech, (b) assembled delegates will sweat, even at 8 p.m., especially if they come from the Nordic end of the EU, and (c) it’s unlikely that Irish TV will spend an hour and a half broadcasting the opening ceremony live next January, when Ireland takes over the EU Presidency. Ah, the joys of living in a place where politicians are treated like rock stars...

Starsky & Hutch (Novacinema2, 20.10) Such a feeble comedy, and absolute-

ly nothing to do with the 70s cop show - but it merits a tiny footnote in the annals of comedy for Ben Stiller’s “Do it!” guy, a kind of deep-voiced Dustin Hoffman impression that punctuates the simplest request with a peremptory “Do it!” (to a waitress asking what he’d like to drink: “Johnny Red, neat. Do it! Do it!”). Stiller is Starsky, Owen Wilson is Hutch, a pair of 70s cops racing to the scene of the crime in their red-andwhite Ford Torino - though the only crime is how little the fi lm does with this promising material, totally whiffi ng on

Water for Elephants 70s ambience and pounding the whole gay-subtext joke into the ground. What you’re left with is a disco dance-off, a scene in a biker bar, Snoop Dogg as ‘Huggy Bear’, Vince Vaughn as a smooth criminal, plus an air of scattershot comedy that veers from pastiche to irrelevance; has its occasional moments, but if you must watch a 70s-set Hollywood comedy watch Anchorman instead. Do it! Made in 2004.

Water for Elephants (Novacinema1, 22.00) It’s Robert Pattinson, a cuddly toy for the world’s teenage girls - though his leading lady is considerably older in this likeable drama, Reese Witherspoon as Marlena, wife of the tyrannical boss (Christoph

Waltz) of a travelling circus. It’s the 1930s and young Robert joins the circus after losing both his parents in a car accident, shovelling manure and almost getting mauled by lions but enjoying himself nonetheless, mostly thanks to Reese and a Polish-speaking, champagne-quaffi ng elephant named Rosie. A romantic triangle ensues (with Reese and Waltz, not the elephant), the voice-over does its best to inject sexual tension - “I knew it was just a matter of time...” - and the fuzzy anti-Fascist subtext (it’s the 1930s, after all) comes a distant second to Pattinson’s rather moist presence; the result is dopey to the point of being charming, with a cute pachyderm and a lip-smacking villain. Made in 2011.

By Preston Wilder

Operation Petticoat (Nova Classics, 21.00) Is Hollywood on a path to self-destruction? (Discuss!) Profits may be up - albeit inflated by 3D - but you only have to watch something like this (a big hit from 53 years ago) to see how inferior the current infantile model is, as opposed to the older one. Plot and characters are generic in this comedy - actually a naval comedy, set on a pink (!) submarine during WW2 - yet the mix works superbly: comedy, action and even the occasional poignant touch (“Auld Lang Syne”) co-exist in well-judged proportions, the putdowns are often smart, the plotting lively and the humour quite earthy and risqué (at least for 53 years ago). Cary Grant is strange casting as the uptight

disciplinarian Captain but Tony Curtis is in his element as a brash young lieutenant, a hustler forever on the make; then a stranded group of nurses come aboard and the fi lm does become a bit sexist and dated - the girls are implausibly fi xated on marriage, as opposed to wartime nooky - but is something like The Hangover any less sexist, when you come right down to it? Good fun. Made in 1959.

Fighting (LTV3, 22.00) Channing Tatum, the sensitive hulk. Tatum looks like a bruiser but prefers to play bruised,

with his croaky voice and wry, easy charm - and he’s just trying to survive in New York City when he gets in a street-fight and is spotted by a seasoned scam-artist (Terrence Howard, excellent). Howard thinks the big guy has potential in the deeply illegal world of underground bare-knuckle brawling, seduces him with the promise of big money (“Where we going?” “We’re in a $100,000 Mercedes, that’s where we’re going!”) and becomes his manager on the fight circuit which is all quite intriguing, but in fact the fight scenes are tame and the plot increasingly predictable,

MONDAY-FRIDAY 05:00 That Was The Year 06:00 Easy Going Gold 10:00 The Juke Box 17:00 That Was The Year 18:00 Oldies Overnights - Hear the greatest hits of all time playing non stop during the darkest hours.

Les Emotis Anonymes not exactly helped by a generic romance. Worth a look for the ever-entertaining Luis Guzman, for its glimpses of the Bronx, the vintage soul soundtrack (giving it a funky 70s feel) and its feel for the rhythms of young men together - and of course for Channing Tatum, a guy who’ll beat you up then write a poem about it. Still a bit patchy, however. Made in 2009.

Les Emotifs Anonymes (Novacinema1, 23.00) Known in the UK as Romantics Anonymous, though ‘Emotionals’ might be a closer translation. “My name is Angelique and I’m an émotif,” says our heroine (Isabelle Carré), introducing herself to the titular sup-

port group for people who are just a bit too ... emotional. Angelique is a chocolate maker and gets a job in a chocolate factory owned by Jean-René (Belgian comic Benoit Poelvoorde) who’s so émotif he gets flustered just by being close to people, especially women - and of course they fall in love, but their mutual pathological shyness gets in the way. A specific kind of French romantic comedy (emotionally blocked people doing odd, self-consciously ‘quirky’ things) that stems from the huge success of Amelie 10 years ago - and it sounds a bit twee for my taste, but maybe I’m just not émotif enough. “A useful film for the overly timid,” adds an educationally-minded fan at the Internet Movie Database. Made in 2010.

Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (LTV3, 20.00) Can you blame her? Her husband’s abusive, her kid is an annoying little smart-aleck, her life is going nowhere; it’s no wonder Alice (Ellen Burstyn, who won an Oscar) takes off - though only after the husband unexpectedly dies - taking the kid (Alfred Lutter) along as she tries to pursue her childhood dream of a singing career.

Martin Scorsese directed, and the fi lm is a case of Feminism for Beginners, giving Alice a

kind of empowerment while keeping her unthreatening, a little bit helpless and certainly in thrall to the nice man (Kris Kristofferson) she meets along the way; it’s also irresistible, warm and funny, “blending the road movie with the conventions of the women’s weepie,” to quote the Time Out Film Guide. The kid is especially hilarious, driving Mum crazy with his terrible jokes (“Shoot the dog!”) - and he’s matched by 11-year-old Jodie Foster as a tough-as-nails tomboy who initiates him into drinking and shoplifting. Clarice, how could you? Made in 1974.

Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore

The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard (LTV, 21.00) “I’m Don Ready. And I’ve got the goods!” says our hero (Jeremy Piven, from Entourage). Don can sell anything to anyone, so he and his team are hired by an ailing used-car dealership to pep up sales: they have three days to sell over 200 cars - which sounds like fun, especially with a cast including many wellknown US comics, but a red fl ag is thrown up by the trailer which urges you to “check out the longer and dirtier trailer at livehardsellhard.com”, confi rming it as yet another raunchy American comedy where smuttier = better. Still worth checking out (I haven’t seen it), with so many funny people involved - Ed

MONDAY-FRIDAY 05:00 That Was The Year 06:00 Easy Going Gold 10:00 The Juke Box 17:00 That Was The Year 18:00 Oldies Overnights - Hear the greatest hits of all time playing non stop during the darkest hours.

The Goods: Live hard, Sell Hard Helms as the leader of a “man band” (30-something boy band); Will Ferrell in a cameo as an angel; Ving Rhames in comic mode; manic Ken Jeong, from The Hangover - but it’s not a good sign that plot keywords at the Internet Movie Database include “Sex Talk”, “Vomit”, “Female Rear Nudity” and (yikes!) “Reference to Google”. Likely to be crude, lewd, sometimes hysterically funny and basically witless. They should’ve called it ‘The Mediocres’. Made in 2009.

St. Trinian’s (PlusTV, 21.20) An unholy mess - but those with a high tolerance for self-conscious camp might like this British-made flop, vaguely based on the St. Trinian’s fi lms of the

50s (in turn based on the Ronald Searle cartoons).

St. Trinian’s is an anarchic school for the worst girls in the world, incorrigible hellions one and all (yes, even head girl Gemma Arterton) - yet they try to save the school from bankruptcy when the bank threatens to foreclose, hatching a plan to steal a Vermeer and use the proceeds. The headmistress is played by a man (Rupert Everett) in drag - also the case in the 50s fi lms - but the plot has been much updated, with references to Hogwarts and C.S.I. and the school now full of cliques (the Posh Tottys, the Chavs, etc) like in Mean Girls or something. Not a success, but more fun than cleaning your house with a toothbrush on a Wednesday night. Made in 2007.
