Once again film makers have mined the histories and stories of World War II for another fascinating, little known tale of survival. The best known story may be that of Anne Frank, who was back in the news recently thanks to a pop music star visiting her museum. Two years ago the St. Louis International Film Festival was wowed by In Darkness, a dramatic feature that told the story of Polish Jews who lived in the city’s sewers to avoid arrest by the occupying Nazi forces. In release now is No Place On Earth, a similar story told in a very different way. Earth is basically a documentary that uncovers a new survival story that’s every bit as moving and dramatic as the former film.

After taking a well-earned break to concentrate on their own projects – some successful, like Cheryl’s solo work, and to a lesser degree Nicola’s critically acclaimed solo album and fashionwork, and some less so, like Sarah Harding’s flirtation with “acting” – the girls are back in town.
And it’s rather fitting that the tour – which will probably be the last – begins in Newcastle, home of arguably the Girls’ most famous member, in front of an energetic and loud crowd, filling the Metro Radio Arena will screams of appreciation bordering on manic levels.
In return for their fandom, those in attendance were treated to a highly-glossed greatest hits show, quick in pace and far more polished than the Girls were way back in the early days. They are the finished product now, having honed their skills and their routines over almost a decade, and this...

Tomorrow might be Valentine’s Day, but how about showing these great sites some love today?
To start things off on an inappropriately sleazy note: The Phantom of Pulp has several awesome — and one extra incredible — poster for one of my favorite horror movies, Maniac. “Underground film” means different things all over the world. In China, it just means government-repressed artists just trying to express themselves. Candlelight Stories has the full documentary Digital Underground in the People’s Republic by Rachel Tejada. Kimberly Chun as a lengthy dip into the current San Francisco experimental film scene on the site Bold Italic. Not sure what it is recently, but I keep digging up classic Chicago Underground Film Festival info. This week it’s the poster from their 4th edition designed by acclaimed graphic novelist Chris Ware. That’s from 1997 when the special guests were John Waters and Beth B. Also from...

Question: I had just finished watching Run Fatboy Run, and I was raving to my friend about how beautiful and talented I think Thandie Newton is. My friend said that Thandie is bisexual...is this true? Is she definitely bisexual?
— Lindsey, New Orleans, Louisiana
Thandie Newton
Answer: Since it's really up to the individual in question to officially label their sexual orientation, I think it's safer to say that she's "potentially" bisexual.
Actress Thandie Newton (W., Crash) is married to director Ol Parker, who made many new lesbian friends when he wrote and directed the romantic comedy Imagine Me & You (2005), starring Piper Perabo and Lena Headey.
