Harvey Pekar lives the life most of us dream of avoiding, a filing clerk by day, a man at odds with, and lost in, the world he inhabits the other sixteen hours. Harvey begins to write down his disgruntled observations and with the help of equally cantankerous illustrator, Harry Crumb, ‘American Splendor' is born. This movie of the man's life is an inspired mixture of animation, documentary and dramatisation, with Paul Giamatti finally getting a role worth his talent. Funny, sad, sharp and hip to

Set during the miners strike, Billy is the 11 year old son of a widowed miner who stumbles across a ballet class one day on the way to his boxing lesson. The young boy becomes hooked, and while keeping his new found passion secret from his family, Billy's raw talent is noticed by the dance teacher, who encourages him to audition for the Royal ballet.

More famous faces than you can shake a stick at get together over a fag and a mug of coffee, to discuss the many joys of, well… a fine cupper and a good drag. Jim Jarmusch started filming these short comic vignettes over ten years ago and has created a deliciously off kilter observation of life's little pleasures. Worth watching for Iggy Pop and Tom Waits chat alone, and I say this regardless of my own hopeless weakness for the rolled leaf and the dark bean.

George Clooney has put his thumb into the directorial pie and pulled out a plum. Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind is based on the fantasy novel of Chuck Barris, TV producer cum CIA assassin, played in the film by the grubbily handsome Sam Rockwell. Clooney deals with the ramblings of a delusional solipsist and adopts a surreal, almost Lynch-like style for the proceedings. This adds to the general feeling of disorientation as the story flits from television studios to Russian detention centres wit
