The Spectacular Now review (London Film Festival)
Stark and gritty, this may be the most down-to-earth teen romance ever, filled with touches of unpredictable, inescapable reality.

Electro Chaabi review (London Film Festival)
An inexcusably blinkered documentary look at a modern youth movement in Cairo that utterly ignores how it cuts girls and women out of its quest for freedom.

Doctor Who thing: lovely Celtic-flavored “madman with a box” tee
