State of the art The five-seat Citroën C4 Picasso has been unveiled – could it be a masterpiece? Simon Asphar gives it the once-over... To many, Picasso, as a word conjures up an image of a MPV these days, rather than faces with their features re-arranged at new jaunty angles. Citroën were onto a big success with this one. With its distinctively different styling, the five-seat C4 Picasso slips naturally into Citroën’s compact MPV range between the established, best-selling Xsara Picasso and the award-winning seven-seat version, which will now be known as the Grand C4 Picasso. With three compact MPVs and the full-size C8 people carrier, Citroën now boasts the broadest MPV range in its history. The new five-seat C4 Picasso benefits from the same forward-thinking that shaped the design of the recently launched Grand C4 Picasso, with outstanding all-round visibility, a light and airy interior, leading cabin and boot space, incorporating a new version of Citroën’s Modubox folding trolley, and the use of high quality materials. The easy-to-use and flexible interior layout combines with the uncluttered interior space and the highest levels of comfort to ensure that travelling is a pleasurable experience. Citroën’s newest model sports a fresh, dynamic look, with a body style that is at once compact, flowing and eye-catching. The assertive-looking front end features a newstyle bumper with oversized air intakes covered in black mesh, while the unique wave of the waistline, highlighted in chrome, creates an attractive side profile. However, it is at the back where the fiveseat C4 Picasso’s distinctive personality and styling really shines through. The rear pillars are masked by the quarter-lights and,

combined with the rest of the huge glazed area, give the impression that the upper half of the vehicle is completely surrounded by glass. The saloon-style rear end features lights with a unique horizontal design. The interior of Citroën’s newcomer is refreshingly light, with outstanding visibility provided by the huge windscreen, slim pillars and optional panoramic sunroof. Artificial lighting also plays a major role with the availability of various useful features, such as automatic welcome lights under the door mirrors, a portable torch in the boot and reading lights on the back of the front seats, all designed to make journeys easier.

“A fresh, dynamic look, with a body style that is compact, flowing and eye-catching” The exterior dimensions (4.47m long, 1.83m wide and 1.66m tall) give the C4 Picasso an extremely spacious interior. This feeling of space is enjoyed by all passengers, with those in the front benefiting from the simple, uncluttered design of the dash and those in the back from three individual, full-size seats and a flat floor. The innovative seating design, first seen in the Grand C4 Picasso, allows the rear seats to be quickly and easily folded flat into the floor. When all five seats are in use, the new model leads the class with 500 litres of boot space underneath the luggage cover, extending to a maximum 1,734 litres once the

rear seats are folded down. Helping to keep the boot tidy, the five-seat C4 Picasso can also be equipped with a new version of Citroën’s renowned Modubox. This innovative, removable trolley makes it easy to divide boot space and to transport objects outside of the vehicle. The new five seat C4 Picasso provides a relaxing journey for all occupants. Suspension comfort can be further enhanced by the optional pneumatic rear suspension, while laminated acoustic side windows can be specified to make it even quieter inside. An automatic electronic parking brake and Hill Start Assist are fitted as standard and make everyday driving easier. Thoughtful extras such as individual air flow controls for back seat passengers, an air quality sensor and a scented air freshener can all add to the pleasant onboard atmosphere. A high quality stereo system and folding video screens in the back of the front seats are also available to keep passengers entertained. Developed on the same platform as the Grand C4 Picasso, which scored five stars in Euro NCAP tests, the new C4 Picasso meets the most stringent criteria for occupant protection, offering the likes of four Isofix seats, audible seatbelt warnings for all seats and seven airbags as standard. The five seat C4 Picasso is available with a choice of four fuel-efficient engines: 127hp 1.8i 16V and 143hp 2.0i 16V petrol units, and 110hp 1.6HDi and 138hp 2.0HDi diesel powerplants, both fitted with Diesel Particulate Filter Systems. Dependent on engine there is a choice of gearboxes: manual, automatic or a 6-speed electronic gearbox system with paddle-shift gear change.

KATIE’S COLUMN

What Katie says The compact editions of classic novels will fill the gaps in Katie’s reading. And help her pull…

Cut to the chase So, you’re at a dinner party… Have I lost some of you already? Seriously, don’t panic – my idea of a dinner party involves waking up in someone’s bed and sharing a pizza with them. Now then, let’s try again… You’re at a dinner party and the conversation turns to books. And then, more specifically to a book that you haven’t actually read.

“Really great literature inspires us and challenges our view of the world. It brings us together, even if just in standing us apart”

Joogle it Three reasons to go to the Joogleberry Playhouse this June:

Diva-ine souls sessions by Aydenne Simone, Saturday 9 June, £8

Brighton’s Drag Idol winner, Trudi Styles in Streetlife. Tuesday 12 June, 8pm, £7

Dubtastic, funky hip hop from Bad Science, Wednesday 20 June, 8pm, £5 Joogleberry Playhouse 14–17 Manchester St 01273 687171 www.joogleberry.com Image: Chris Ashfield

As is always the case, there’s someone there you fancy – so what do you do? Keep quiet and fiddle with your pepperoni? Admit all, hoping that not having read every friggin’ thing in the Penguin back catalogue just shows you have a life (as opposed to a literacy problem)? Or lie about having read said book and attempt to bluff your way through? Personally, I always go for option three. And since I’ve got a first in English literature and a very aggressive attitude – I usually find it works for me.

I don’t feel bad about lying about what I’ve read because, as everybody knows, if literature is good for anything at all then it’s making small talk. Struggling your way through Jude The Obscure, deciphering A Clockwork Orange or tackling a bit of Burroughs, is not half as interesting as talking to your friends about it afterwards.

Really great literature is great because it inspires and challenges our view of the world. It brings us together, even if just in standing us apart. And, hence, it makes an interesting conversation starter. But if, as my dinner party scenario suggests, there is one problem with literature – it’s that no one’s got the time, not to mention the willpower, to get through all of it. The most readerly people I know all still have gaps in their libraries where some great tome of literary genius should be. Indeed, even though I can scan read my way through an average novel in an afternoon, I could never make it past the first chapter of War and Peace. So imagine my joy when I heard that Orion are to print ‘compact editions’ of some great literary works: Anna Karenina, David Copperfield and Vanity Fair, among them. Bemoaning the amount of ‘padding’, that the literary classic contains, Orion’s editors have created a collection of reduced works that you can read ‘in half the time’. With their MD (a man after my own heart) explaining: “Many regular readers think of the classics as long, slow and, to be frank, boring. You’re not supposed to say this, but I think that one of the reasons Jane Austen always does so well in reader polls is that her books aren’t that long.” Unsurprisingly, the literati are miffed. Which, when you’ve forgone a lifetime of clubbing to sit holed up in the library, seems fair enough. But personally, I’d like to shake Orion by their collective hand. Because now, next time I’m at a dinner party, bluffing my way through the collected works of Wilde, with information collated from the blurbs on the back, at least whoever I’m chatting to will be able to join in.

Doubt the stars are fire, doubt the sun doth move Doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt I love True hope is swift and flies with swallow’s wings; Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings Neither a borrower nor a lender be For loan oft loses both itself and friend Here she comes, curst and sad, Cupid is a knavish lad Thus to make poor females mad Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, There shall be no more cakes and ale? Too hot, too hot, to mingle friendship far Is mingling bloods In nature there’s no blemish but the mind None can be call’d deform’d but the unkind True, I talk of dreams, which are the children of an idle brain Begot nothing but vain fantasy You juggler!

EMOTIONS

Dani’s diary Dani tries to decide when it is OK to lash out and mulls over her four years of column-writing Do you ever sometimes feel really angry with someone or something, but instead of showing the anger you smile and push all the feelings inside? Do you ever sometimes feel like you want to cry but instead of letting it out you suck it all in and get that weird feeling in your stomach? I did, all the time and then I had a nervous breakdown. So the moral of the story is to let out your feelings. But that is not always the best way to behave, acting like a child, constantly telling everyone how they p*ss you off, randomly bursting into tears or screaming your face off. So how do you know when it’s OK to let off some steam? I did consider joining a kick boxing club, thinking that once a week kicking the life out a punch bag would help. I still think it would help but I can’t afford to go. I know people who deal with anger and hurt in many different ways. Some of us cry, some of us punch walls, some of us get diarrhoea, some of us just tell the people making us feel that way, and some of us don’t say anything at all. So what’s the best way to deal with it? If you were expecting me to tell you, you’d be very wrong because I have no idea. All I know is that whole count to ten thing is a load of rubbish!

“You only get trained to deal with stress and anger if you’ve been arrested or sent to a therapist. What about everyone else?” It’s a bit strange that you only get trained in how to deal with stress and anger if you have been arrested or sent to see a therapist. What about everyone else? I’m not entirely sure why I feel it’s so important to write a column about dealing with frustration; I suppose it must be because I’m feeling a bit peeved and I’m not sure how to go about getting rid of it. What I feel I need is a good rant, but I don’t want to rant here, I’ll phone a friend and bend their ear! Time feels like it’s getting faster, it feels like I wrote my last column yesterday when in actual fact it was a week ago. I keep forgetting what day it is, what time it is, what I’m supposed to be doing and that makes me angry. I’m just not in a good mood this morning and I’m sorry, I should have waited and written something cheery, but let’s face it, I am one of the least cheery people I know, so why pretend? My wisdom teeth are kicking themselves through my gums, I had a bad anxiety attack last night and I feel I need to sleep for a week. With any luck by next week I’ll be feeling better and I’ll have real news to report. Hopefully by next week I will have learnt to deal with feeling mad! I have written one column every week for nearly four years. That is a bloody long time, and it sometimes feels like I have written the same thing over and over! And to a certain extent, I have. For four years I have written 600 words a week about my life: that’s a lot of words, and chances are they have been the same words a few times! So I’m thinking that sometimes when I ask these questions, I should look back through my columns. Perhaps I’ve already written myself the answers!

Fringe city frenzy

Decadent Japanese style On Thursday 3 May, the all-new Water Margin and Kabuki, located on Middle Street, Brighton, opened its doors for a private launch party. Upstairs the Water Margin offers stylised luxury, atmospheric lighting, a contemporary backdrop and an opulent bar. And don’t forget the dim sum menu. As you descend into Kabuki, you enter a space that takes inspiration from traditional Japanese theatre. Reserve a booth with waitress service and be entertained by some of Brighton’s best DJs, artists and producers.

If after the children’s parade on Saturday 5 May you were lost for something to do (yeah right!), you should have headed down to a totally free, one-day celebration of all that is Fringe, ‘Fringe City’. Right in the heart of our festival-frenzied city at Jubilee Square, you could see some of the most exciting bits of the Fringe programme over five stages. Competitions and huge giveaways were in abundance with 200 free pairs of Fringe show tickets up for grabs. There were jugglers, dancers and even the chance of breaking a world record in a track stand competition. If you missed out, then no worries, as next year will see “The Return of Fringe City.”

Unit 03 Gallery is Brighton’s newest and most exciting art space. It opened on Friday 27 April with an exhibition by artist and gallery owner, Barry Surtees. Barry creates constructivist works from building materials found in the average skip – plaster, lead, steel, rusty cogs – which are then placed in relief on brightly painted, primary canvases, or monochromes which explore the tension between light and shade. These are great big works that make an immediate and powerful impact, and will be on display in Unit 03 Gallery for the inaugural exhibition. Unit 03 Gallery will be open every weekend during the Brighton Festival as part of the Artists’ Open Houses trail, so there’s really no excuse not to check out the newest and most exciting addition to the local art scene, helping put Brighton arts on the map.

From the ashes... the Ink_d Gallery As one creative art – The Blue Dragon Tattooist – moves on, a new one -– The Ink_d Gallery – has risen, phoenix-like, from its ashes, at 96 North Road, Brighton. And on Thursday 26 April they threw open their doors for a private viewing for up-and-coming British artist, Trafford Parsons, as well as for their official opening on the next day, just in time for the Brighton Fringe Festival. There were mermaids serving up ice-cold beer and ‘tentacles of terror’ to be caught up in. There are three floors of gallery space with a screen-printing and print studio in the basement, producing limited editions from all the shows. For more information visit www.ink-d.co.uk.

Sheep may safely graze Andrew Kay has his faith restored in the Ram Inn at Firle Ah, the joys of Sussex in May. Or not as it happens. No sooner had the Brighton Festival started when the freakish hot spell abated and we descended into a week of wind and drizzle. Of course, I shouldn’t complain as the gardens and fields are now all a lush green, as is my drive, where poppies are breaking through the fine layer of badly laid concrete. The festival always starts with a great concert at Glyndebourne. Over the years I have enjoyed some extraordinary performances there from some of the world’s greatest musicians, and this year was to be no exception. But where to lunch first? With a 3pm start there was time to have a nice Sunday lunch in a country pub. Logistically, however, I needed to collect my companion for the day from sunny Seaford and then take a bit of a dog’s leg turn, inland to Glynde. The obvious choice was the Ram at Firle. An old favourite and haunt of my early days in Sussex when we would go to regular folk evenings and listen to great local musicians and storytellers, some of whom must no longer be with us. A year or so ago I went there with friends for dinner. It had been recommended by friends who we trust, so off we hopped. Sadly it didn’t quite cut the mustard and there were too many faults with the whole experience. I gave it a poor review on these very pages. Still, it was some while ago so I decided that enough time had passed for me to return and give it a second chance. It was, after all, ideally located for my musical outing. I called to book and was told that they had two sittings – 12 noon and 2.30pm – not ideal, but manageable.

Before long the roast arrived. The meat was good and there was more than enough of it. The vegetables were good too, as was the Yorkshire pud. The weakest link were the roast potatoes: tasty but not crisp. The parsnips, however, were crisp and the mashed carrot was packed with flavour. I rather wish that the gravy had come separately, as I like my gravy on the vegetables and not on the meat – old habits die hard. But it’s a small complaint for what I reckoned to be a great Sunday lunch and with a bill of around £42 for the two of us, including the bottle of wine, not an expensive one. The Ram has retained all its country charm – it looks and behaves like a pub – so hats off to them for achieving that. My faith has been restored. The Ram Inn, Firle, Nr Lewes, East Sussex.

“How could we resist asparagus with salad leaves, parmesan shavings and hollandaise?” We arrived bang on time and the place was pretty empty, not a bad thing I might add as by being early we were at the head of the queue in the kitchen on a list that was to rapidly expand. Before long, the place was buzzing with custom and the gaggle of waiting staff who had been clustered at the bar were in full flow. Drinks, it turned out, had to be ordered at the bar but food at the table, odd but not a problem. We had both spent most of the journey extolling the virtues of a light lunch before a concert, a plan that soon derailed when we read the menu. How could we resist asparagus with salad leaves, parmesan shavings and hollandaise – as a starter? We both decided we could not, and followed it with the roast beef. I liked the fact that there was one choice of roast plus a nut roast. It means that the kitchen is concentrating and that there is a good chance of getting beef gravy and not meat gravy. At the bar I asked for two large glasses of Malbec, but quickly decided that for a few pounds more a bottle was better value. Always worth looking at that as an option. I have in the past ended up spending more on repeated individual glasses than the bottle price. It was good red too, nice and sturdy with an old world flavour for a new world wine. The asparagus arrived and not only did it look good, it tasted good too. The spears where served in a healthy portion, piled on to nice salad leaves. There was plenty of cheese too, and the shavings were delicate rather than great big potato peeling-sized shards which would have overpowered the asparagus and the sauce. The hollandaise was good: warm, creamy and in just the right quantity. I was impressed, this was a good seasonal dish – well balanced, well seasoned and well put together. We cleared our plates – so much for a light lunch.

Okra and tomato tagine Ingredients 320g/12oz small okra 5–6 tomatoes 2 small onions 2 garlic cloves, crushed 1 fresh green chilli, seeded 5ml/1tsp paprika

A small handful of fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves 15ml/1tbsp olive oil Juice of 1 lemon 120ml/4fl oz water Serves 4

1 Preheat the oven to 190°C/325°F/Gas 5. Trim the okra, then cut the pods into 1cm/1⁄2in lengths. Set aside. 2 Skin the tomatoes, remove the seeds, then roughly chop the flesh. Set aside. Chop one of the onions, place in a food processor with the garlic, chilli, paprika, coriander and 60ml/4tbsp water. Blend to a paste. 3 Slice the second onion. Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole and sauté the onion for 5–6 minutes, or until it turns golden brown. Transfer 20ml/2tbsp sautéed onions to a plate and set aside. 4 Reduce the heat and pour the onion and coriander paste over the sautéed onions. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, then add the okra, tomatoes and lemon juice. Pour in the water and stir well to mix. Cover tightly and transfer to the oven. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the okra is tender. 5 Transfer the tagine to a serving dish, sprinkle with the reserved sautéed onion rings and serve immediately. Variation: Canned, chopped tomatoes can be used instead of fresh tomatoes in this recipe – simply add the contents of a 200g/7oz can with the okra in step 4.

Also showing... A quick look at all this week’s releases 28 Weeks Later (18) Dir: Juan Carlos Fresnadillo This entirely unnecessary sequel to the excellent 28 Days Later transplants wit and nerve for all-out gore and shock tactics. Set six months after the initial outbreak. This time the US army are drafted in to help quell a further outbreak as things go all zombie yet again. Robert Carlyle stars as the perpetual running-away-from-horde-of-zombies character while Rose Byrne adds a touch of classy grit. While not quite as subtle or original as the previous outing this is still packed with scares and thrills. (3/5) Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Alpha Dog (15) Dir: Nick Cassavetes Drama based on the life of Jesse James Hollywood, a drug dealer who became one of the youngest men ever to be on the FBI’s most wanted list. Justin Timberlake stars. (2/5) Showing at Odeon Bridge to Terabithia (PG) Dir: Gabor Csupo Based on the 1970s classic book by Katherine Paterson, this faithful rendering tells the story of two reluctant childhood friends and their adventures in a fantasy world. (2/5) Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Flags Of Our Fathers (15) Dir: Clint Eastwood A wartime epic from double Oscar winner Eastwood, this is a strong contender for most ponderous film of the year. The story tells of the six soldiers who raised the flag at the battle of Iwo Jima and their attempt to deal with grief, guilt, death, and love. Eastwood directs with his customary gruff grace and manages to coax a number of excellent performances out of a young cast consisting of Ryan Phillipe, Paul Walker, and our own ballet dancing Jamie Bell. (3/5) Showing at Odeon Fracture (15) Dir: Gregory Hoblit This dire and often turgid melodrama follows assistant DA Ryan Gosling as he does battle with wily but murderous businessman Anthony Hopkins. The script is mundane, as is the direction from the excellently named, if artistically impotent, Hoblit. This is surely another nail in the coffin of perpetual under performer Hopkins who hasn’t made a truly great film since the heady days of Merchant Ivory. He may be getting a bigger pay cheque now that he’s gone all Hollywood but his critical kudos is quickly vanishing. (1/5) Showing at Odeon Inland Empire (15) Dir: David Lynch Mr super-spooky David Lynch returns with his most complete expression of nihilistic beauty. The film itself is mostly a stream of consciousness piece with odd little motifs, surreal characters, and a host of sometimes breathtaking artistic flourishes. Laura Dern is superb as the actress at the centre of all this madness trying to get a job done as best she can. Jeremy Irons co-stars alongside Lynch regular Justin Theroux as the film slowly, and I mean s-l-o-w-l-y, reveals its mysterious secrets. A gallery of freaks and misfits for sure but with Lynch at the helm it all somehow makes sense. (4/5) Showing at Duke of York’s The Last King of Scotland (15) Dir: Kevin Macdonald Forest Whitaker deservedly won the Best Actor Oscar for his powerhouse performance as Ugandan President General Idi Amin. The film itself is more of a melodramatic thriller than a true biopic but the direction is suitably

restrained and captures perfectly the climate of fear in seventies Uganda. The superb James McAvoy stars as Amin’s personal physician and confidante and it is this central relationship that gives the film its strength and character. It may not be pretty but as a character study of man as much an entertainer as he is a dictator, this is riveting stuff. (4/5) Showing at Cineworld Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten (15) Dir: Julien Temple The titular Clash frontman finally gets a documentary all to himself. Punk stalwart Temple patches together a series of interviews, home video, and live footage to weave a a rich tapestry of a man both humble and yet full of fire. Among the talking heads on display, Bono is the most hyperbolic while Steve Buscemi the most unique. Johnny Depp and Jim Jarmusch add a touch of indie class to proceedings but, in the end, it is the man himself who shines the most brightly. In a similar vein to the recent Scott Walker and Leonard Cohen documentaries, this is a gripping portrait of a man whose spirit and nerve is sorely missed. (4/5) Showing at Duke of York’s My Best Friend (12A) Dir: Patrice Leconte The always excellent Daniel Auteuil teams up with Leconte yet again in this whimsical and funny film. Auteuil plays a middle-aged man who finds out that none of his friends actually like him. With a delicate panache this is gallic charm at its most accessible. (3/5) Showing at Cineworld and Duke Of York’s Spider-Man 3 (12A) Dir: Sam Raimi Spidey is back again in this darkly sweet third installment. Venom, The Sandman and The Green Goblin all make villainous returns. (4/5) Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Sunshine (15) Dir: Danny Boyle Epic sci-fi adventure as Cillian Murphy and a host of international stars reignite a dying sun in order to save earth. Inventive but mildly confusing. (3/5) Showing at Odeon The Cat Returns (U) Dir: Hiroyuki Morita This 2002 offering from Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli never quite matches up to the high standard set by Spirited Away or the excellent My Neighbour Totoro but it still works better than the usual animated fare. After helping a cat, a young girl finds herself involuntarily engaged to a cat prince in a magical world where her only hope of freedom lies with a dapper cat. The story may be irksome and the animation occasionally derivative but the charm and wit of studio Ghibli shine through. (3/5) Showing at Duke of York’s The Painted Veil (12A) Dir: John Curran Based on the novel by W. Somerset Maugham, The Painted Veil is a love story set in the 1920s played out with grace by Edward Norton and Naomi Watts. (3/5) Showing at Cineworld This Is England (18) Dir: Shane Meadows Without doubt the best British film of the last few years this follow up to the excellent Dead Man’s Shoes finds Meadows hitting his stride with confidence. Recounting his own upbringing in the mid-eighties this is a provocative but tender account of an England divided by politics, music, and friendships. (5/5) Showing at Cineworld

L7 lowdown Battle of the summer New releases reviewed

Zodiac (15)

7 Selects

Director: David Fincher This latest offering from David Fincher is based on the Robert Graysmith books about the real life Zodiac, a serial killer who terrorised San Francisco with a string of murders during the 1960s and 1970s. Jake Gyllenhaal is superb as the journalist at the centre of the investigation. The excellent Robert Downey Jnr adds some grit, as does Mark Ruffalo and a superbly unhinged Brian Cox. Imbued with layer upon layer of suspense this is a film that treads similar ground to such seventies classics as All the President’s Men and The Parallax View. At last this is Fincher back at his pernickity and forthright best. Craig Driver Showing at Cineworld, Duke of York’s, and Odeon

Mutual Appreciation (15)

Jindabyne (15)

Director: Ray Lawrence This offbeat and sometimes dark film tells the tale of an Irishman (Gabriel Byrne) living in the Australian town of Jindabyne, who on a fishing trip in isolated hill country discovers the body of a murdered girl in the river. Rather than return to the town immediately, he and his friends continue fishing. Laura Linney plays the put-upon wife struggling to deal with her husband’s lies. A powerful film about the struggle of relationships and the way in which our past can haunt us. Showing at Duke of York’s

Magicians (15)

Director: Andrew O’Connor This big screen caper from the creators and stars of Peep Show is bound to cause comparison with the outstanding Channel 4 show. It tells the story of a pair of rival stage magicians who fall out over a guillotine mishap, when they compete against each other in a magic competition. The two leads from Peep Show David Mitchel and Robert Webb are excellent as rivals, and are aided with admirable support from Spaced star Jessica Stevenson and a host of British comic talent. The jokes are sharp and the running time short, both of which make for a warm and acidic little treat. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon

Director: Andrew Bujalski This US indie flick is the follow-up to cult director Bujalski’s quirky film, Funny Ha Ha. Telling the twisted tale of drifter Alan who turns up in New York in an attempt to pursue his rock’n’roll aspirations. This is a film without a real plot or script and instead relies heavily on the charm of its lead actors. Justin Rice is suitably off-beat as Alan while Rachel Clift, as the woman Alan fancies, is perfectly pretty. This may be a bit too obscure for most but with its lo-fi charm this is an admirable film with heart. Showing at Duke of York’s

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (12A)

Director: Gore Verbinski This third and final instalment in the Captain Jack show sees Captain Barbossa, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann sail off the edge of the map, navigate treachery and betrayal, and make a final last stand in the sea battle to end all battles. All this whilst trying to save Jack from his own demise. Chow Yun Fat pops up as a rival Singapore pirate, while a certain Rolling Stone makes a much anticipated cameo with dreadlocks and all. Like the previous film this is far too showy to be truly brilliant but Johnny Depp saves the day with his wasted and dilapidated charm. Showing at Cineworld, Odeon, and Worthing

With the blockbuster season fast approaching Craig Driver looks at the films set to rule the multiplexes

With sequels to Shrek, Spider-Man, and Pirates of the Caribbean out this summer it looks set to be popcorn crazy over the coming months. Despite the oodles of fun to be had at the cinema this summer, questions are being raised as to whether the traditional blockbuster is still relevant or, indeed, financially viable. With Spider-Man 3 costing a reputed $260m plus $150m for marketing, can Hollywood justify another season of mindless financial indulgence? Sony/Columbia lead the race with Spider-Man 3 already released and doing good business. The first two instalments set opening-day box office records, and the franchise has already raked in over $1.6bn worldwide, not bad for a dorky teenage web-slinger. Next up is Buena Vista’s third instalment to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Captain Jack Sparrow’s third outing is the summer’s second all-out extravaganza. Unlike the Spider-Man franchise, the last one banked more than the first, breaking the usual trend of diminishing returns for sequels. With Johnny Depp once again doing a spot-on impersonation of Keith Richards this is a film full of bravado if not wit. That all sadly got washed away with the tide when the budget swelled to $225m and the first two films took in excess of $1.7bn worldwide. 20th Century Fox continue the superhero trend with the release of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Marvel’s first family of superheroes makes a return to the big screen just two years after their first dismal outing. Jessica Alba might look good in spandex but even such mild titillation would be hard pushed to save this film. Fox has apparently been working on reshoots, a sure sign that studio bosses are not happy with the final product. The addition of the Silver Surfer may add a bit of chic but, as a metallic cosmic being who surfs around the universe preparing worlds to be eaten by a giant cosmic super entity that takes the form of a cloud, it may just be too hard a sell. Bruce Willis keeps up the sense of history repeating itself as he returns as super cop John McClane in the fourth Die Hard instalment, Die Hard 4. Twelve years after the last instalment this is a film hoping that the promise of an “old-school” action flick without any CGI magic will hit the mark with moviegoers. By complete contrast, the CGI orgy that is Transformers gets a cinematic release through Paramount. Based on the cult 1980s favourite, this epic adventure of duelling alien robots travelling through the galaxy has Steven Spielberg as executive producer. With a reported $150m CGI blowout this film may just be a tad too expensive for its apparent 15 rating. Finally, Warner Brothers release Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The fifth release from superrich JK Rowling’s literary revolution finds Daniel Radcliffe, fresh from full frontal nudity on the West End, squaring up to Lord Voldermort amidst political uprising at Hogwarts. Having taken well over $2bn so far, the boy wizard franchise looks set to make even more money for Rowling and her teenage fantasy epic. Despite the hesitations of most sensible people the summer blockbuster looks set to keep raping our wallets. With Spider-Man 3 taking an estimated $148m in its opening weekend in the US alone and an estimated $227m worldwide in just two days it would seem money is the language by which cinema will continue to be ruled. Just remember to pick your indulgence carefully and buy enough popcorn and nachos to last the course. Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer

THE BIG GIG

THIS WEEK Ray Davies Former frontman of The Kinks, and one of this country’s most enduring and popular songwriters, Davies only got around to releasing his first full solo album last year, Other People’s Lives. Known for his mature, sophisticated and subtle songs he has been called the ‘greatest humanist in rock’. While his lyrics are often deceptively simple, focused on time-honoured rock themes such as love, sexual attraction and partying, they often contain elements of satire, on songs such as ‘Well Respected Man’. The Kinks finished for good back in 1996, but Davies, forever the troubled soul, soldiers on, making music and writing lyrics that match his extraordinary 60s output. Sat 26 May, Brighton Centre, 0870 900 9100

Loop

Scout Niblett

This new one-day music and digital arts festival will be spread across four areas in Victoria Gardens. The line-up includes The Aliens, Husky Rescue, Bonobo, The Bays and, of course, the Go! Team. Sat 18 August, Victoria Gardens, Brighton 01273 709709

Scout gave up piano lessons when she was nine, because “I didn’t want to learn other people’s songs” and when she was 19 she took herself to an arts college in Nottingham. In 1999 she hooked up with drummer Kristian Goddard, and released her rare-ashen’s-teeth debut album, Sweet Heart Fever, on Secretly Canadian in 2001. Scout Niblett’s second album, I Am, took just four days to make at legendary producer Steve Albini’s studio in Chicago. Heavy drums accompanied by Scout’s squeals and coos pretty much make up the sound, along with her guitar. Tue 22 May, Komedia, 01273 647100

Latest 7’s top 5 records Nina Nastasia & Jim White You Follow Me (album Fat Cat) Collaboration between cult American songstress Nastasia and Australian Dirty Three drummer Jim White. Overall, the mood is haunting, gothic even, and the sound a stripped-back affair where Nastasia’s sometimes breathy and sometimes howling voice and circumspect guitar meets White’s expansive, almost jazzy drumming. Famed producer Steve Albini makes sure it sounds organic and raw.

Von Sudenfed Tromatic Reflexxions (album Domino) Featuring Mark E Smith of The Fall, and Mouse on Mars’s Andi Toma and Jan St Werner, these often brutal, yet groovy, electro dirges contain some pop moments. It’s a Fall record in all but name!

Mumm-Ra These Things Move In Threes (album Sony BMG) On the verge of big things thanks to their ability to write big, guitardriven indie-rock numbers that appeal to those who struggle with difficult, or leftfield, music. Highly functional and competent.

Chris Cornell Carry On (album Suretone) The former Soundgarden frontman unleashes his husky blues growl on a number of nicely stripped-back tunes that still carry a punch within the easy flowing rhythms.

Marillion Somewhere Else (album Intact Records) Another example of a band who are continuing to enjoy significant success by doing it independently, and via their large fanbase. Nothing particularly challenging here, but if you’re into old-school Genesis-type progressive rock then look no further.

Eleanor McEvoy Eleanor McEvoy achieved star status in Ireland in 1992 when her song ‘Only A Woman’s Heart’ inspired the title for and appeared on, the A Woman's Heart anthology album. It has since become the best-selling album in Irish history, even eclipsing records by such renowned Irish artists as Van Morrison and U2. A beautifully restrained songwriter, she has co-written with the likes of Lloyd Cole and has had her songs covered by the likes of Emmylou Harris, Phil Coulter and Mary Black. Caroline Lavelle’s version of the McEvoy composition ‘All I Have’ is featured in the cult USA television series Six Feet Under. Mon 28 May, The Greys, Brighton, 01273 680734

BRIGHTON SCENE A weekly round-up of what’s happening in the local Brighton and Sussex music scene It’s the last week of the Fringe, and if you haven’t done so already it’s about time you got your cultural teeth embedded into the artsy landscape of Brighton. It’s your chance, as is the custom, to get stuck into the weird, exotic, unusual, and often wonderful, with all kinds of musical events that don’t normally get a look in. Check the Fringe programme in particular for some local delights. From brass to recitals, world music to rock, there is a veritable potpourri of idiosyncratic delights just waiting for an audience. A highlight of the fringe is a rare gig by local band Oom (Thurs 24 May, Prince Albert). Led by former Massive Attack guest vocalist Debbie Clare and featuring Ed Chivers on beats/samples/guitar/noise, Alex Hay on guitars and Darren Lindridge on Oom drums, their music is a mix of dark ambience, distorted beats, beautiful vocals and noisy guitars. Not from Brighton, but based on the local Catskills label, are Coventry three-piece The Ripps (Mon 28 May, Pressure Point), whose recent album Long Live The Ripps unashamedly plagiarises punk and Two Tone, but somehow manages to sound fresh and just as invigorating as the best of those genres. Made up of two Chilean brothers (their parents were refugees from General Pinochet’s dictatorship) and a lady drummer, their new single ‘Holiday’ is a wicked little summer pop tune. With Brighton continuing to blossom in all ways musical, it’s no surprise to see the Barfly group build on the Great Escape festival by opening a venue in town. The 350-capacity Barfly Brighton joins the existing venues in London, Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool, Birmingham and York, consolidating Barfly’s march to being one of the country’s leading music promoters, specialising in indie music. They’ve taken over the long neglected Brighton Gloucester nightclub and already a decent line-up of new and up-and-coming talent has been booked, including Nine Black Alps, The Crimea, Tiny Dancers, Hell Is For Heroes and We Are The Physics. In addition to the live programme, Barfly will continue to run a number of regular club nights at the venue including Mad For it and Kick Out The Jams. Finally, get your diaries out because Brighton Live is back later in the year for another celebration of local music. Now in its fifth year there are many strands to the event – from indie to rock, world music to classical, there are shows for all ages, lunchtime gigs and shows in unusual venues, such as shop fronts. Bands and artists are being encouraged to submit demos for consideration. The deadline is 1 June, so get your skates on. Please visit www.brightonlive.net for the The Ripps online submission form. Send your music and news to Jeff Hemmings, Music Editor, Latest 7, Unit 1, Level 5, New England House, New England Street, Brighton BN1 4GH.

THE MONTH AHEAD NME New Music Tour With British indie music in rather rude health, here’s the latest batch of up-and-coming bands who have already had some of the music press salivating in anticipation of big things to come. A particularly varied line-up this time around, there’s the strippedback, Dexys-inspired The Rumble Strips, along with the abrasive two-piece Blood Red Shoes, the superb indie pop melodies and feel-good vibes of America’s The Little Ones, plus Pull Tiger Tail. Wed 30 May, Concorde 2, Brighton, 01273 673311

The Rumble Strips

Girls Aloud At the opposite end to the NME-anointed new bands above, there’s this feisty five, an ITV reality show lovechild that has gone on to become wildly successful. They’ve had 15 consecutive top ten hits plus four platinum-selling albums already, and it seems nothing will stop them. The tabloids stay hungry for all the lascivious gossip and tittle-tattle, and all five (Cheryl, Nadine, Sarah, Nicola and Kimberly) enjoy being voted into FHM’s yearly top 100 sexiest women lists. But they have also enjoyed an enormous amount of praise (and attention, of course) from the broadsheet press, and holier-than-thou music titles such as NME. That’s kinda hard to take, but you do have to admire the brilliant image that has been conjured up. Tue 29 May, Brighton Centre, 0870 900 9100

From Arnie to art house, Craig Driver and guests catch up with the latest talk on the big screen

Things that annoy me about being a parent… Many people think your life has ended now you have a child. They don’t call any more. Pavements are not designed for buggies. People park on the pavement so you have to push the buggy into the road, then back on to the pavement. Lifts where they have a spoken announcement – ‘Ground floor!’ – that wakes the sleeping baby. Churchill Square mall. The fact that you now have to get in a lift to go to Mothercare. I now boycott it. That’ll learn ‘em. I’m sure they miss my custom. Er, what else do I hate? I hate smocks! I’m not pregnant any more, I don’t want to look pregnant. Why are all the clothes in every shop designed like big frilly tents? When I was pregnant it was the other way round.

“Some kids flyering didn’t offer me a flyer. They probably thought, ‘Nah, she looks past clubbing’” Right what else… Ah, yes. Young shop assistants in Topshop who think that mothers with buggies should not be allowed into fashion clothing stores, and certainly not their changing rooms. They look at you like you’re 80 years old, and say things like: “Maybe you should try bootcut jeans? They might flatter your shape better.” As they stand there casually looking good in just a T-shirt and skinny jeans (we called them drainpipe jeans in my day). Personally I think only nine-year-olds look good in skinny jeans. Saying that, I have three pairs I don’t wear. And some are the ones I bought from Topshop maternity! Skinny jeans for pregnant women – they look ridiculous. But I didn’t care, I was pregnant: it was my job to look ridiculous. My ex said to me the other week: “Can I ask you something?” I said, “What?” as I sat down preparing myself for something big – this sounded serious. Was it about money? Access? Looking at me seriously, he said: “Do you think I’d suit skinny jeans?” Today some kids flyering outside HSBC didn’t offer me a flyer. That says it all doesn’t it? They probably thought, “Nah, she looks past clubbing.” I felt like shouting: “Didn’t wanna go anyway!” Probably some wrung-out drum and bass night, or a retro back-to-the-old-skool house night. I should have gone up to them and said: “I remember when these tunes came out the first time!” And what’s all this ‘new rave’ rubbish? New rave? It’s not new – it’s just the same: big bright horrible colours in big baggy T-shirts with dumb writing on. Neon colours and plastic jewels doesn’t make it new. The only thing new about the new rave scene is that the kids don’t know what old rave was. I don’t even know what I’m talking about – what kind of music is new rave? Maybe I’ll look new rave up in iTunes. Hang on a minute. Hmmm, it’s quite good, actually; it’s just bands like The Klaxons and The Gossip, erm, apparently. You can’t Google youth though can you? I’m not down with the scenes, I’m Googling them. I’m old.

THIS WEEK AND THE MONTH AHEAD ★Latest 7 inspects the refurb of the The Katarina With the attractive waterfront bars and restaurants opening down at Brighton Marina, it seemed The Katarina was being overlooked. People bypassed it to the charm of the Master Mariner in the Octagon, or the chic Aqua bar, or to the waterfront and the newbies such as Karma. Bloodied, it seemed, but not beaten, The Katarina closed for a major refurbishment, opening again just in time for summer. The attractive new outdoor seating was left empty, however, as heavy rain made an appearance. Inside, the new lighter décor, creates a warm atmosphere, in spite of the inclement elements outside. Behind the bar, apples sit decoratively above four wine barrels (Spanish wine, rosé and white wine among these), alluding to the selection of fresh fruit juices to choose from. It was time to find a table, and despite being lunchtime, the ample seating made it easy to find a spot to relax, with large comfy sofas, long cushioned seats and individual chairs to choose from. Upstairs, the restaurant was open for business; previously a Beefeater, The Katarina is now part of the popular Harvester chain. Menus on the table preview the dishes on offer – traditional English pub food that’s good value for money. A worthwhile break on an afternoon’s shopping trip, or a refuel after traipsing round Asda. Zara Friend The Katarina, Brighton Marina, BN2 5WA, 01273 606268

Circus Burlesque @ Wild Fruit Now that even Daily Mail readers have a pair of M&S nipple tassels to relight the fire of Mr Middle England, is burlesque still considered kinky? Those Wild Fruit peeps think so, and have dedicated their legendary bank holiday bash to the joys of bountiful brassieres, shocking stockings and a bit of old-fashioned slap and tickle. As usual, it’s worth dressing up for the other fabulous fruits and enjoying the teasing and tantalising musical stylings of Mr Haywood. Also on hand will be drag superstar Dizzire Dubfire keeping naughty boys in check. Creation, 78 West Street, Sunday 27 May, 10pm–3am, £12/£10/£9/£8

Sevensins Special @ Honeyclub International superstar DJ, softly spoken trance pioneer and brother of Dick (arf), Paul van Dyk’s fine productions and epic sets have seen clubbers metaphorically wet their Mickey Mouse pants the world over. Now he’s over in Blighty to celebrate the nation’s day off with a headlining gig at one of the seafront’s most salubrious clubs. With no breakdown left unbroken, it’s going to be a haven for rave monkeys with a taste for the softer, smoother stuff. Honeyclub, 214 Kings Road Arches, Friday 25 May, 10.00pm–5am, £21.50 VIP/£16.50

Stick It On @ King and Queen Now a firm fixture in the discerning (or drunk) clubber’s calendar, the night that aims to democratise deejaying returns to the King and Queen for a day of boozing and boogieing. As well as the usual favourites (a casino, breaks room, salsa lessons and Brighton’s best deejaying punters) punning local attractions the Brown Stripes (fnar, fnar) will be playing popular classics. Stand up, get drunk and be counted. King and Queen, 13 Marlborough Place, Sunday 27 May, 3pm–late, price to be announced

Cavalcade of Pop @ Po Na Na Providing party-pop-on-a-wonk, Boogaloo Stu (pictured in all his glory) will be playing everything from Justin Timberlake to My Robot Friend. Upping the ante, the live act this time around will be Partyshanks, an act described on the press release as: ‘2Unlimited dressed up like a hotdog’. Where were they when the Eurovision Song Contest needed them? Po Na Na, 75–79 East Street, Tuesday 29 May, 9.30pm–late, £4/£3

It’s being produced by the same team that brings you 3SIXTY magazine every month. “We want to bolster our ability to report on Brighton and Hove stories in a much more localised way,” says managing editor David Harvey. “3SIXTY is very much a regional title now covering the whole of the south of the UK, and Wales, and a local newspaper for Brighton will allow us to explore local issues and news in the city much more.” The new editor will be Paul Disney, who was the brains behind AXM magazine. Pick up your free copy from venues across the city on 25 May. “ONE80 will be a great addition to life in our vibrant city,” says Councillor Simon Burgess, leader of Brighton and Hove City Council. “It just shows how much is going on and how

much people want to get involved in this great city of ours.” “I’ve always thought that a city like Brighton and Hove should have an informative gay newspaper,” says Paul, who’s lived in the city for five years. “There is such a big gay community here and it’s what the city needs, as a newspaper will give more immediacy on news and information than monthly magazines.” Official statistics show that one in five men in Brighton is gay. The lesbian, bisexual and transgender community has yet to be officially measured, but an acknowledged estimate of the LGBT community in total is 50,000. The city is also a huge magnet for gay visitors. The 3SIXTY team has just celebrated the fifth birthday of the magazine. 3SIXTY has gone from strength to strength and expands again in size this month due to its popularity.

Monster hit Love&Madness Ensemble present a bold new adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein Victor Frankenstein is an ambitious young philosophy student who discovers how to give life to inanimate material. As the ultimate proof of his discovery he assembles a creature from a collection of dead human body parts and succeeds in bringing it to life. Horrified by the result, Victor abandons his ‘creation’, leaving it to fend for itself, learn of the cruelness of mankind, and ultimately exact its terrible revenge. Here is an opportunity to see a unique preview of this ambitious new production before it undertakes a major tour later in the year. The performance will be followed by a discussion with the creative team where comments will be welcomed. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Hawth Theatre, Hawth Avenue, Crawley, Fri 15 June, 7.45pm, £10.50/£8.50. Call 01293 553636

Siren call Blonde Bombshells Of 1943 by Emmy and BAFTA award-winner Alan Plater comes to the Theatre Royal Brighton After a sell-out success in London and based on the award-winning TV film The Last Of The Blonde Bombshells, starring Judi Dench, this warm and witty musical play is filled with live performances of 1940s classics by a sensational eight-piece live swing band. Bandleader Betty has a problem. Every time the Blonde Bombshells play a GI camp, they all go AWOL! With jobs looming, Betty needs to find new musicians fast. Among those drafted in are schoolgirl Liz on clarinet, uppercrust saxophonist Miranda, Lily the singing nun and male drummer Patrick, prepared to don a frock to avoid a drafting. With the line-up complete, the band prepares to make the dangerous journey to a secret BBC recording and potential fame and fortune! There are

elements of Some Like It Hot in there and who can resist the sounds of wartime swing music when desperate times led to people kicking back their heels and making the best of a bad thing. Packed with toe-tapping classics by Fats Waller, The Andrews Sisters, Ella Fitzgerald, Glenn Miller and many more, including ‘Don’t Sit Under The Apple Tree’, ‘Goodbye-ee’ and ‘T'ain't What You Do’ – drive away the blues with this hilarious musical play that will ring a note of nostalgia for older audiences and give younger ones an insight into just how wild granny might have been! Blonde Bombshells Of 1943, Theatre Royal Brighton, Mon 11 to Sat 16 June, 7.45pm (2.30pm matinees on Thurs and Sat), £15-£24. Call 08700 606650

Take your partners Strictly nostalgic tea dances and lessons Having written about the heyday of swing music, I was delighted to note that over at Komedia they are hosting a series of tea dances. Well, who can blame them for riding on the crest of a dance wave caused by the phenomenon that is Strictly Come Dancing? Not exactly theatre, then, but totally theatrical and in a theatre setting. Why not trip the light fantastic as Desert Ivan Discs spins favourite sounds from the roaring 20s, 30s and 40s? Ragroof Theatre hosts the stylish afternoon tea dance, which they promise is for all ages and experiences. By popular demand, the first hour will be dance classes in waltz, foxtrot, tango, cha cha, jive and many more, followed by two hours of dancing. Tea Dance – Lesson & Dance, Komedia, Brighton, Sun 10 Jun, 2-5pm (dance class 2-3pm), £8/£6. Call 01273 647100 latest 7 35

Scalextric dream

Zara Friend finds Scalextric fun for kids at RaceA-Way in Hove, a unique racing centre in Sussex

Hands up all those who want a scalextric set, or wanted one as a child? Well, now the exciting slot-car racing experience can be enjoyed by all ages and both sexes. Race-A-Way (RAW) is the first slot car centre in the south of England. And the good news is it’s right on our doorstep, just a few minutes from the King Alfred Centre on Hove seafront, next to the Ginger Pig pub. If you are seeking to reward or motivate groups, foster team-building skills, celebrate a birthday, anniversary or success, or you are simply looking for a unique and entertaining activity, slot-car racing is great fun for all. Terry Grover opened RAW in December 2006 after nearly a year of careful planning and the initial response was excellent, with families and groups of friends coming along for a different type of entertainment. He now plans to increase trade mid-week by starting clubs for both children and adults. Terry explains: “The clubs will primarily be for fun, but with the aim of starting some kind of a league, and also as informative sessions teaching, especially youngsters, some of the mechanics of Scalextric for maintenance, repair and tuning of the cars.” As a chance to live the racing dream – on a smaller scale than Formula 1 – the RAW Scalextric racing facility is great for keeping the kids entertained in a welcoming environment. The five, four-lane tracks are based around famous British tracks: Goodwood, Brands Hatch, Silverstone, Cadwell Park and a street circuit of Brighton! You get to race 1/32 scale cars on all five circuits, with the number of laps completed counted by a trackside computer. “There are only two centres like it, that I know of, in the whole of England,” Terry continues enthusiastically. “I have a competition running in May to win a Carrera Aston V12 James Bond 007 Die Another Day Vanquish slot car. I will also be doing a competition in July to tie in with the British Grand Prix to win an F1 car.” A great place for individuals, families and friends of all ages and abilities, check out RAW for racing fun in the south. Race-A-Way, 5 Hove Street, Hove, (near the King Alfred Centre). Call 01273 734385 or email terry@race-a-way.co.uk for more information. Alternatively, visit www.race-away.co.uk. Tuesday–Sunday, 12–6pm (closed Monday’s except bank holidays) Booking outside these time can be from 10am to 10pm (last booking 8.30pm) weekdays and Saturday and 10am to 9pm (last booking 7.30pm) Sunday

With another Bank Holiday this weekend – don’t you just love May? – there’s plenty going on in the historic town of Arundel just past Worthing. Take a step back in time and experience the thrills of a jousting tournament in the grounds of glorious Arundel Castle. Knights will be competing for glory and visitors can meet both them and their horses and relive the exciting atmosphere that surrounded medieval tournaments in their heyday. There will be exciting hunting games, skill-at-arms and arming of the knights, as well as the jousting itself. Award-winning re-enactment group Raven Tor will take up residence in the castle grounds, offering an insight into all aspects of 15th century life. Dressed in character, Raven Tor will present weapons and show the public skills such as weaving and armour-making from their tented encampment. There’s also an opportunity to have a go at archery! Arundel Castle,10am-5pm. The historical special events are included in the normal full admission rates which are: £12 for adults, £9.50 for seniors, £7.50 for children or £32 family ticket (2 adults and up to 5 children) for Castle, Fitzalan chapel, gardens, grounds, gift shop and restaurant. Contact Arundel Castle on tel: 01903 882173, www.arundelcastle.org

UPCOMING HIGHLIGHT Bravest Pet In Sussex

To feature in kids email editorial@thelatest.co.uk If you would like your event listed please email listings@thelatest.co.uk

The Priory Emergency Treatment Service (PETS) is on the lookout for the bravest pet in Sussex. Nominate a brave pet you know or own and they could win the Bravest Pet In Sussex Award, to be held later this year and sponsored by Latest 7 magazine. If you know of a courageous canine who’s had a caesarean or own a fearless feline who’s found its way home after being forgotten, PETS wants to know. The term ‘bravest’ pet means different things to different people, and PETS wants you to interpret ‘brave’ whichever way you like. They see a variety of medical and surgical conditions that need to be overcome, both physically and emotionally by the pet. Any pet, large or small, young or old, could win the title of Bravest Pet in Sussex. If you know one that deserves the title log on to www.petsbrighton.com, sign up for their free monthly newsletter, and you’ll receive instructions on how to nominate soon.

WORTHING MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY

Animal behaviour Now having his first ever solo show, John Simpson’s prints and drawings originally made an impact with installations for streetwear brands and collaborations with fashion designer Wale Adeyemi. His imagery fuses the graphic traditions of artists such as Francisco Goya and Odilon Redon with modern street graphics. He then uses the print process to extend the possibilities of drawing, using anything that applies pressure to the surface, even his hands. Throughout his work, Simpson explores his interest in animal symbolism, human identity and anthropomorphism, inspired by folk tales and the history of imagery in narrative graphic art. This show brings together new work in the form of limited edition lambda prints (restricted to ten) and handmade monoprints. John Simpson: New Work, O Contemporary, Trafalgar Street, until 17 June

Bill Hicks: Slight Return

Bill Hicks: Slight Return “You’re not Bill Hicks! ...Parasite! ...Where does the money go?!” Such heckling of Chas Early’s studied portrayal of Hicks was understandable. Bill inspired devotion for his ideals as well as his jokes. It is only natural that fans would be suspicious. But Early is a fan too and responded: “What did you expect to see? The real Bill Hicks?!” This is a brave attempt to keep Bill’s memory alive. Some of the money goes to The Bill Hicks Foundation for the Protection of Wildlife Rehabilitation, and to his family. Udderbelly, 5 May ✌✌✌✌ James Holland

Liberace Of Baghdad Think of Nosferatu; think of Saddam Hussein: then meet Samir Peter, former concert pianist to the stars in Iraq, reduced to playing virtuoso performances from a basement hotel lounge with bombs dropping all around him. This beautifully elegant, on-the-fly documentary from Sean McAllister takes us on a road trip through the chaos of a country torn apart by war. Through the eyes of an entirely charismatic artist we come to feel the effects of the economic sanctions, the allied occupation and the alarming toll of daily lives lost. A brilliant portrait of the human cost of a truly unholy war. The Old Ship Hotel, 6 May ✌✌✌✌✌ Colette Meacher

Maydays: The Musical The Maydays were already a highly respected improvisational troupe long before they introduced music into the mix. Good just got even better. Starting with a warm-up of regular Mayday improv games, calling for words and objects from the audience, the tone was set for quick-thinking and hilarious displays

Cave, the sometimes haunting lyricism of folk and, one of my alltime favourites, Thin White Rope. Dave Bramwell made a guest appearance, while French-born Ben Blake did a superb solo version of a Brel song. A mesmerising, confident and accomplished band with a bagful of good songs that added up to more than the sum of its parts. Joogleberry Playhouse, 13 May ✌✌✌✌

of wit. After a short break, the musical element was introduced, bringing the more disciplined structure of a beginning, middle and end – rather than fun and then abandonment. These guys were excellent, with a ballad to broken pets, an upbeat song and dance number, but sustaining all of the funny quips of the straight Maydays improv. This showed just how clever and entertaining people can be even without a script. Komedia Studio, 4 May ✌✌✌✌ Victoria Nangle

Desperate Ones The enduring legacy of Jacques Brel shines through bands such as this. A large, but ever-changing ensemble, and led by the shimmering vocals of raven-haired Eliza Skelton, they come across not as desperate, but as lighthearted lovers of all things macabre, gloomy and dark. Brel is really just a starting point – they are also in love with the surreal spag westerns of Ennio Morricone, the gothic hues of Velvet Underground and Nick

Robin Ince Ricky Gervais’s support act and tour victim is surprisingly energetic when he hits the stage, rattling off his set at a frenetic pace. As a bookish middle-class, middle-aged man his arch-enemies are impertinent youths, burly men and Daily Mail readers, all of whom are dispatched with literary allusions and dark surreal tangents. Ince is intelligent and endearing and although he does not snap out a list of gags, it is a pleasure to share his company for a while and listen to his thoughts. The Marlborough Theatre, 9 May ✌✌✌✌ James Holland

Off The Cuff This latest comedy improv troupe, from Sussex University, all demonstrated strong performance potential. However, the various themes for improvisation were not thought out as well as they might have been, and the show lurched incongruously from the subjects of joyriding to phone booths to jam. I’ve learned myself, first hand, that the relationship of scenes to each other is the quintessential element that keeps the fire of improvised comedy burning, along with knowing when to say ‘cut’. That said, these guys and gals were never short of commitment, even if only mildly amusing. Hobgoblin, 10 May ✌✌ Mark David Robin Ince

Global fantasies Gaming company SilentManager spreads its wings SilentManager, the Brighton-based ‘fantasy sports games specialist’ is opening its second office on the other side of the world in Sydney, Australia. As of 21 May, SilentManager (Australia) Pty Limited was born. The business that started as a drunken conversation about fantasy football at a barbecue is set to go global, in what feels like a single bound. Started five years ago as a back-bedroom company, it has gone from strength to strength in a relatively short period of time and now has a 12-strong team based in the

Queen’s Park area of Brighton. “If you had told me at that barbecue five years ago that come mid May of 2007 SilentManager would have an office in Sydney, Australia, I would have been pleased, but I doubt whether I would have entirely believed you”, exclaims Jon Trigg, managing director and co-founder of the company. Jon leaves sunny Sussex, home to the head office and his beloved Brighton and Hove Albion, to embark on the next exciting chapter of the SilentManager story. The company has doubled in size over the past two years, and

opened its virtual doors to the four millionth fantasy game player last September – a major accomplishment by any standards! SilentManager currently has games played in 11 different countries and is working with O2, Guinness, the Metro, EA Sports and LG (to name a few) on games covering several different sports including football and rugby. The company already has a global presence and an additional office will only seek to galvanise this and spread the SilentManager name all over the world. “Anyone joining SilentManager has always been aware of the plan to take the company to Australia, but now the realisation is here and the office here is a buzz with excitement and we are all looking forward to where we will take the company next”, beams Jon. For more information contact Jennifer Wallace on 01273 682277 or jennifer.wallace@silentmanager.co.uk

I know what you ate last summer

TUESDAY 22 The Bunker ★★★✩✩ (2001, BBC1, 11.35pm. Dir Rob Green) Set during the dying days of World War Two, this chiller follows a group of defeated stock-Nazi characters who become prey to something far more scary than the American bombs that lurk down the tunnels in which they hide. A neat premise, but the shocks are only mildly frightening. Matt Chittock

WEDNESDAY 23 The Horse Whisperer ★★★✩✩ (1998, Five, 7.30pm. Dir Robert Redford) Sandy-haired heart-throb Robert Redford directs and stars in a sentimental romantic drama that had them weeping in the aisles on release. Rob stars as a no-nonsense cowboy who can talk to horses and might, just might, also be able to heal Scarlett Johansson’s broken soul. MC

THURSDAY 24 Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels ★★✩✩✩ (1998, Channel 4, 10pm. Dir Guy Ritchie) The nadir of 1990s blokey cinema, this gangster flick from Guy Ritchie aims for Goodfellas gravitas but achieves the excitement of a duff Sweeney episode. A high-stakes card game kicks off the action, but Dexter Fletcher, Jason Statham and co (plus mod-ish soundtrack) deliver style, not substance. MC

FRIDAY 25 Transamerica ★★★★✩ (2005, Sky Movies Indie, 10.50pm. Dir Duncan Tucker) A well-acted indie quirkfest, this drama stars Desperate Housewives’ Felicity Huffman as a man about to undergo the final stage of male-tofemale surgery when he gets a call from his long-lost son. Cue a soapy road trip that exudes intelligence. MC

Movies on the box this week The Player ★★★★✩ (1992, Film 4, 11.10pm. Dir Robert Altman) The ultimate meta-movie about the film industry, Robert Altman never topped his hatchet job on Tinsel Town that’s packed with self-lacerating cameos from the great and good. Tim Robbins is fantastic as a wiley studio exec whose paranoia goes nuclear when he receives threatening letters from a spurned screenwriter. MC

Five Life, Monday 28 May A fifth of British teenagers are clinically obese – that’s ridiculous! So we are sending six to California, to a kind of fat camp, where nutritionists, counsellors and trainers will work their magic to hopefully change the way these teenagers think, eat and live. These kids each weigh more than double me and they eat 90 bags of sweets a week! In this first episode, the group all meet at Heathrow, eat their last bags of chips, say goodbye to their families, all crying (for the families or the chips, I’m not sure) then jump on a plane to head off to sunny California, all saying: “When I get back I will be skinny.” And God help me I want them to be skinny when they get back too. During the interviews before the kids go away, nearly all of them mention being bullied at school. They are bullied for being big and to make themselves feel better they eat a bit more; they are living in a vicious circle and perhaps by going somewhere totally out the way and living with other people in the same situation, they will be given the break and be able to turn themselves around. At the camp they do the smart thing of disguising exercise as fun activities and for the most part it works. A trip snorkelling gets the kids active and they actually enjoy it, everyone that is apart from Adam, who doesn’t really want to do anything and, if you ask me, shouldn’t be there. He obviously has no interest in helping himself. But the next day, his home sickness has worn off slightly so he feels a bit more interested in getting involved. When the kids are at home, even though they enjoy exercise they won’t do it because they are too ashamed of the way they look, so when they get the chance to do actual exercise many of them relish it! This is so heart-warming to watch. The kids are sent to do a one-mile run, but they are given no time limits and are told they can walk it, run it, crawl it or do whatever they want to get it done, and all of them apart from two run it and when they all finish they are all really happy with themselves, which gives them more oomph to try harder. This camp Wellsprings is a magic idea, teaching the kids how to go shopping and shop well, how to eat and eat well, how to exercise and exercise well, and all with no hard pressure or yelling drill men or weird doctors. With obesity on the rise, I can’t understand why we haven’t created places like this here – it’s hard for the kids, but it really does make a difference. It’s all very well us having adverts telling us about five a day, but when they are sandwiched in between adverts for Burger King it doesn’t appear to make much difference. There is an episode on each night on Five Life and I can’t wait to see what happens.

22–28 May

SATURDAY 26 The Station Agent ★★★★✩ (2003, BBC2, 11.20pm. Dir Thomas McCarthy) Melancholic dwarves seeking a new life? Welcome back to indieville for this wonderful, gripping movie following Fin (Peter Dinklage) and his attempts to reclaim life. Still waters run deep in an enchanting film that gets right under the skin. MC

Apocalypse Now ★★★★✩ (1979, Channel 4, 12.20am. Dir Francis Ford Coppola) The war movie gets a poetic, phantasmagoric rerub in Francis Ford Coppola’s legendary epic starring Martin Sheen as a soldier on a secret, surreal mission deep into Cambodia. Marlon Brando broods, Dennis Hopper does freaky and The Doors finish things up in a long, strange trip that’s worth staying up late for. MC

SUNDAY 27 Psychomania ★★★★✩ (1971, BBC2, 1.30am. Dir Don Sharp) What do you get when the Brits try and shoot a Hell’s Angels horror flick? Basically, this cult piece of black comedy starring Nicky Henson as a biker who comes back from the dead (on his trusty Harley) to wreak havoc across England. Kitsch underground fun with (studded) tongue firmly in cheek. MC

MONDAY 28 Oceans Eleven ★★★✩✩ (2001, ITV1, 9pm. Dir Steven Soderbergh) A slick, soulless remake of a Sinatra movie that wasn’t much cop in the first place, this Hollywood heist flick wins out through star appeal (George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts et al) and directorial chutzpah. The plot is predictable, but it’s all about watching the eye candy and enjoying Steven Soderbergh’s easy-going big budget B-movie style. MC

tuesday 22 Driving Me Crazy ITV1, 9pm Jo Brand’s not happy with the age group that causes more accidents per mile than any other – the over 80s. She wants those gallivanting snail-paced joyriders to be given new rules to make the roads a safer place. But if your mobility’s going anyway with hip ops and the like, isn’t a car more important than ever?

Longford Channel 4, 10.05pm Drama on the last 30 years in the life of Lord Longford, the cabinet politician who campaigned to win parole for Moors murderess Myra Hindley. With a stellar cast of Jim Broadbent as Longford and Samantha Morton as Hindley, this looks at the man’s motives and the way the prison system has worked over decades.

The Ornate Johnsons’ Edwardian Spectacular BBC4, 9pm The Brighton-based comedy sketch outfit (playing at the Udderbelly on Saturday) star in this one-off skewed but funny perspective of the Edwardian era. With a couple of their writers providing regular contributions to Latest 7 in the Bare Cheek page, you know what to expect.

wednesday 23 Joey Five, 6.30pm This spin-off with the delectable doofus of the Friends gang seems to have been relegated to a less than prime spot. Maybe this was because he never really had many of his own stories back in Friends. No matter, this one’s a goodie as he gets to date the girl he idolised as a teen, and she seems more interested in her ex.

Not really.

thursday 24 This World: Race Hate In Louisiana BBC2, 7pm Three nooses were found dangling from trees at a high school in Louisiana. This wasn’t during slave trading in the 1800s, nor even during race riots in the 60s, but was last September. With a black presidential candidate coming up in the USA, how far have race relations really come?

Mao’s Bloody Revolution Revealed Five, 7.15pm Mao is one of the 20th century’s most controversial leaders. This in-depth doc looks at his time, from childhood through to death and talks to some of his inner circle. History was made by him and is still influenced by him today. Maybe we’ll find out who he was.

Hack ITV3, 9pm Quite a good but chiefly overlooked new series from the States about a disgraced former cop who’s now a cabbie. He knows everyone’s secrets, takes them to the rendezvous, and all with a heart of gold. Nice, eh? Plus he’s a bit of a man mountain so not to be crossed. Today he’s helping protect a young girl. Ahh.

monday 28 Let Me Entertain You BBC2, 6.30pm Entertainment regular Brian Conley presents the variety show with a twist – through the magic of TV, the studio audience decides how long each amateur act will spend in the limelight; if only we had this option when it was Chico time. A timely reminder that variety’s not dead, it just smells a bit funny.

Power To The People BBC2, 9pm Political agent provocateur Tim Samuels (left) turns his attentions this week toward helping some of the most neglected old people in Britain break the pop charts. Nope it’s not the Rolling Stones – but the Zimmers, a 40-strong troupe with a combined age of over 3,000, led by 90-year-old band leader Alf.

Indian School BBC4, 11.05pm Fascinating series following two secondary schools in the IT boom city of Pune, India. Bhojwani Academy is an alternative school catering to Pune’s more liberal middle-class families. Nine-yearold Rahul is the naughtiest boy in his class, but rather than receiving a quick cuff round the ear meditation brings him into line.
