Eight-year-old Zachary has, so far, enjoyed life as his father's favourite son, as the possessor of a gift for healing and as younger sibling to a tearaway, a jock and a bookworm, but this relatively idyllic childhood in Québec is cast under the shadow of his dad's suspicions when he is discovered wearing a dress. Seven years on it's 1975 and Zac is in thrall to Ziggy Stardust and his cousin's boyfriend, a confusing situation for him, made more complicated by a history of trying to satisfy his d

DIG! (2007)
Certification15 Our Rating
A documentary following the contrasting fortunes of indie darlings The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols, both hell-bent on staging a self-proclaimed revolution of the music industry in the mid 1990s. The friendship between respective founders, Anton Newcombe and Courtney Taylor, escalated into bitter rivalry as the Dandy Warhols achieved major international success while the Brian Jonestown Massacre imploded in a haze of drugs, band in-fighting and unchecked egotism.

SUPER FLY (1972)
Certification18 Our Rating
One of the most successful blaxploitation movies of the 70s; Priest decides to sink everything into one big deal, the one that will get him out of the urban-poverty-crime nightmare.

VELVET GOLDMINE (1998)
Certification15 Our Rating
Aesthetically authentic though ultimately glitzy glamfest, recreating an era most of us would rather forget. Christian Bale plays an '80's journalist, sent from New York to England to investigate the mysterious disappearance ten years earlier of his own teenage idol, Brian Slade. Slade is a thinly-disguised David Bowie, while Ewan McGregor's character Curt Wild, whom Slade had recently taken up with, is presumably Iggy Pop. As homage to those early '70's days of silver suits and ridiculous hair,
