Julie and Julia (15)
Charlotte Madison is just like any other woman her age. She enjoys shopping, going for coffee and even the occasional visit to the beauty parlour. But, unlike other 27-year-old women she also flies Apache helicopters. Documenting the daily life of Britain’s first female fighter pilot, Dressed to Kill offers a stark and vivid insight into the war in Afghanistan from a woman’s perspective. Charlotte shares every detail of her experiences from killing for the first time to the adrenaline rush of being in the thick of the combat zone. This is a well-written, compelling read that is both thought-provoking and brutally honest.

Goldfrapp — Head First
This album is all about the synth and Goldfrapp throws itself wholeheartedly into the genre that made it famous. Love it or hate it, the 80s was a definitive era for music and Goldfrapp explore the synthesizer’s endless possibilities to offer up something that is reminiscent of bands like Human League and Kraftwerk. But Goldfrapp has an ace up its sleeve — a singer who can sing. Allison Goldfrapp’s seductive voice gives the music added depth and quality and without it, the songs would just sound dull and lifeless. As Goldfrapp’s fifth album, Head First does not break new ground for the band but it certainly maintains its reputation and will most likely prove to be one of its most successful.

2012 (12)
2012 is a thrilling story about the race against time to make it to China before the world is destroyed. Starring John Cusack and Amanda Peet, the story centres on a novelist’s simple excursion to Yellowstone National park which ends up being more than just a trip to the woods. 2012 offers edge-of-your-seat action from start to finish as well as visually stunning special effects.

Must Hear |

Usher — OMG
feat. Will.i.am
Having been produced by Will.i.am this song has Black Eyed Peas written all over it. It works well proving that Usher can hold back a little and still be effective.



Inna — Hot
Simple and catchy, this is very much a European electro-house track complete with trancey, hypnotic beats and a peppering of repetitive vocals supplied by Romanian-born singer Elena Alexandra Apostoleanu. A definite floor-filler.
