Tank Girl first appeared in 1988 from creators Jamie Hewlett and Alan Martin and ended in 1996. It was a relatively popular comic that was made into a pretty crappy movie in 1995 starring Lori Petty as Tank Girl and a young Naomi Watts as Jet Girl. Though Martin resurrected the character in 2007 (Hewlett created the band Gorillaz with Blur’s Damon Albarn several years ago and currently has no plans to return as Tg’s artist) and has been writing numerous Tank Girl mini-series since then, it’s never lost that early 90s atmosphere.
Reading the first issue of Solid State Tank Girl, the latest Tg mini-series feels like a British sitcom from the early 90s like Red Dwarf. The humour is lame, Tank Girl herself feels dated (and really old – is she supposed to look like a middle-aged punk?), and the comic feels at least 15 years too late.

Chicago – Writer/director Ramin Bahrani delivers his most mainstream film this weekend with the Chicago release of “At Any Price,” an old-fashioned melodrama starring Dennis Quaid as a grain farmer caught in some awful situations in order to protect his family. The director of the fantastic “Man Push Cart,” “Chop Shop,” and “Goodbye Solo” expands his canvas to offer what often feels like a modern update on “Death of a Salesman” and the film features one of Quaid’s most charismatic and complex performances in years. Both gentlemen recently sat down with HollywoodChicago.com and eFilmCritic.com to discuss the film, how Quaid got the part, and Bahrani’s feelings on the passing of a man who influenced him greatly, Roger Ebert.
Peter Sobczynski: One of the recurring themes of “At Any Price” is the idea of “expand or die.” In the film, this is in regards to farming but »

Investigative Film Week | Horror On The Sea | Totally Serialized | Amblin Marathon
Investigative Film Week, London
Investigative journalism is an endangered craft, and there are many who would like it to stay that way, but this event shows why it's needed and what it can do. There are seven diverse documentaries, six of them UK premieres, each followed by a discussion with the film-maker. There are fresh angles on Arab democracy in Bahrain, The Forbidden Country, cyber-surveillance is studied in Tracked, and environmental pollution is to the fore in Bloodcoal and Law Of The Jungle.
The Foreign Press Association, WC2, & City University, EC1, Tue to 19 Jan
Horror On The Sea, Southend-on-Sea
