EMPIRE RECORDS (1995)
Certification12 Our Rating
A fast, sassy script with plenty of good one-liners ensures this indie vs corporate tale is better than your average teen movie. A franchise tries to take over the record shop where they hang out, so the staff rebel with a plan of their own. A cool comedy-drama, with a great cult soundtrack thrown in. Great !

HEARTWORN HIGHWAYS (1974)
CertificationU Our Rating
The re-birth of country music in the 70s is certainly a worthy subject for a documentary. The relationship between the music, the whiskey and the guns meld together seemlessly in this eloquent and elegant film about the small town lives that breathed new life into a dying art - the country and western song. The flashiness of David Allan Coe (who's prison shows make you cringe) contrasts with the simple charm of Townes Van Zandt (who struggles beautifully to juggle a Coke can, a bottle of booze a

O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU (2000)
Certification12 Our Rating
Ulysses, Delmar and Pete have just escaped a chain gang and are high tailing it across the country to recover a fortune in hidden treasure. There is only one flaw in this otherwise faultless plan......they're clueless. 'O Brother Where Art Thou' is loosely based on Homer's Odyssey (when I say loose I mean like the jumper that you don't know whether to wear, or peg out as a tent) and is a rip-roaring comedy adventure, with all the quirky charm that you expect from the Coen brothers. The sound tra

PREY FOR ROCK AND ROLL (2007)
Certification15 Our Rating
Based on the real life misdventures of Jackie Prey, tattooist and frontwoman of the working class LA band Clamdandy, this is an all-out estrojam, heavy on the drama with great performances. Gershon leads the team as the bisexual Jackie accompanied by 'Sopranos' moll Drea De Matteo as a strung out trust fund baby and Lori Petty who queers it up as the band's 'too sweet' drummer. The story has to be true because no one would believe that so many tragedies could befall one group of people but behol
