]]>Former Doctor Who companion Karen Gillan stars in a romcom that will close this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival. Gaby Soutar was on the set for filming in Glasgow
]]>IT HAS been suggested that there’s something of the Gatsby about Baz Luhrmann, since both men are predisposed to throwing extravagantly spectacular parties, with just a hint of hollowness.
]]>DO YOU like cars? Or do you prefer movies where bulging, baldy action heroes like Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel glower at each other like homoerotic new potatoes?
]]>THERE are probably more foolhardy enterprises than interviewing the aggressively venomous rock drummer Ginger Baker for a documentary, but it’s hard to think of many.
