<title>Gutter 08</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
    Gutter is a leading Scottish journal of prose, poetry, and review. The latter comprise a small wedge in the centre of the magazine, offering a nice round-up of some recently published titles from independent and larger presses. However, it is as a showcase of the best new stories and poems...

<title>Myth Making: Neil Jordan on Byzantium</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
    Byzantium, the new movie from Neil Jordan, wasn't written by the Irish filmmaker (the scribe is Moira Buffini, adapting her own play A Vampire Story), but you'd never know from the content. It plays like the 63-year-old's greatest hits. "It was weird," Jordan says to me when I ask about...

<title>Byzantium</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
    Neil Jordan loves a myth. His best movies (The Crying Game, Mona Lisa, The Company of Wolves) are dreamy fairy tales with one toe in reality. The sensual and stunningly beautiful Byzantium continues this tradition. The film concerns two vampires who&rsquo;ve been on the run for two centuries and opens...

<title>Gangster Squad</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
    Not much liked by the critics on its theatrical release, Gangster Squad's account of the creation of an extra-legal LAPD team to take down mob boss Mickey Cohen in postwar Los Angeles perhaps suffered because it covered the same ground as James Ellroy's influential&nbsp;LA Quartet. But where Ellroy's novels, and...

    "I'll give the sheriff a call to tell him to get out of the way." When a psychopathic cartel boss is sprung from custody in Las Vegas and races towards the Mexican border in a souped-up supercar with teams of killers running interference for him, the FBI warn the lawman...

<title>Sacrifice</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
    If there's one thing that we learn from this historical epic from director Chen Kaige (Farewell My Concubine), it is that if revenge is a dish best served cold (15-years cold in this case), its preparation should also be fiendishly complicated. Indeed, so tortuous is the plan of mild-mannered doctor...

<title>Stephen Sutcliffe @ Tramway, until 30 Jun</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
    Stephen Sutcliffe&rsquo;s video installation Outworks is difficult to assess. It gives rise to myriad seemingly contradictory adjectives &ndash; at once humorous, bold and confident, it is nonetheless didactic and academic. The 20-minute film is a collage of footage taken from Sutcliffe&rsquo;s archive of largely British television and radio recordings. In...

<![CDATA[
    Audry feels, and looks, like the heroine of a Nouvelle Vague film who is trapped in the very ordinary surroundings of a Long Island suburb in the late 1980s. She obsesses about the hollowness of existence and the threat of nuclear conflagration, wears black and has an uncanny resemblance to...

<![CDATA[
    Set in 1971, Something in the Air&nbsp;is&nbsp;French filmmaker&nbsp;Olivier Assayas&rsquo;s ebullient tribute to the kids who had to follow in the footsteps of those student firebrands who helped bring his country to a standstill in the summer of 1968.

    Fast &amp; Furious 5 (aka Fast Five) abandoned virtually any semblance of its series&rsquo; street racing routes, retooling the blockbuster franchise into an ensemble vehicular heist thriller; a brawny blend of Ocean&rsquo;s Eleven and Bad Boys, albeit with less incoherent editing than a Michael Bay feature. The film&rsquo;s ludicrous final...

    The Liability, Craig Vivieros&rsquo; second feature following prison drama debut Ghosted, offers enough surprises to raise it above the mire of recent dopey British gangster fare.

    Baz Luhrmann's latest foray into vintage decadence delivers the director's characteristic flamboyance and romance, and serves as a perfect companion to both Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge. The Great Gatsby is a fantasy; the debauchery and booze-fuelled parties of a bored 1920s elite is captured in glossy, sumptuous colour...

    Scarecrow (Jerry&nbsp;Schatzberg, 1973) The opening scene of Jerry Schatzberg&rsquo;s&nbsp;Scarecrow is perfect.
