REVIEW: Gone Baby Gone (15)
In a year that involved two major missing children cases in the UK, no film resonates the past 12 months in the press more than Ben Affleck’s directorial debut - so it’s understandable that the original UK release date was put back by 6 months.
Based on the Denis Lahane novel of the same name, Casey Affleck plays Patrick McKenzie, a local private investigator in a rough area in Boston. Approached by the family of a missing girl, Patrick and his girlfriend Angie (Michelle Monaghan) throw themselves into the life of this family, unearthing a highly disturbing tale of selfish people and underlining the fact that people will never change.
Along with the local police, captained by the reliably excellent, Morgan Freeman, Patrick has a cagey relationship with the authorities, who resent his involvement in their case. This tense atmosphere is brilliantly alleviated by the blunt but enjoyable dry humour that punctuates this uneasy alliance. Ed Harris punches his weight as the ageing detective set on the case and his banter with Casey Affleck’s character makes for great viewing, as they begin to work together and realise they’re all fighting for the same cause.
But what makes this film so brilliant are the unexpected twists and turns the story that regularly leave you unsettled but never quite sure why. Plus, all the cast are at their best. Casey Affleck captivates again, building on his already impressive CV and proving that he is the most talented acting Affleck. But Amy Ryan, who plays the grieving trailer-trash mother, really steals the show and was rightfully nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar. Her performance is so strong that you can't fail to be haunted by the moral implications of the story as you leave the cinema, forced into a mental tussle that you’ll fight with for many days after.
After almost ten years in the Hollywood 'widerness', Ben Affleck has found his feet with a story that grabs you by the throat and demands that the audience think about the characters' actions long after the credits roll. A bold move by a bold director. So let’s forget Gigli, kick J-Lo to the curb and appreciate Ben Affleck for this unforgettable film.

Kate Hudson - Hudson Denies Wilson Engagement Rumours
LATEST: Actress KATE HUDSON has denied rumours she is engaged to OWEN WILSON.
Hudson, 29, was spotted sporting a diamond ring on her wedding finger on Thursday (08May08), fuelling speculation the on-off couple is taking their relationship to the next level.
The pair met on the set of 2006 movie You, Me + Dupree and were romantically linked later that year (06) after Hudson split from her husband of six years, rocker Chris Robinson.
The couple parted ways in June 2007, just two months before Wilson's alleged suicide attempt.
And in recent months the stars have seemingly rekindled their love, spending Easter together in March (08) in Miami, Florida.
But a spokesperson for Hudson has refuted claims the star is engaged, telling UsMagazine.com, "She's definitely not engaged. She's shooting a movie called Bride Wars, which explains the ring."

For an absurdly comic idea, Señor Coconut proved to have more than than a single preeminence at their -- or perchance his -- disposal, managing two albums and even planning a U.S. tour. German DJ and manufacturer Uwe Schmidt (aka Atom Heart) had released dance music in his mother country under a number of different aliases during the first half of the nineties. But he'd become blase with the European music scene and in 1996 transferred his base of operations to Chile in order to begin exploring the possibilities of Latin music, which was, he said, "a pretty much undiscovered planet to me. It unveils dozens of interesting musical worlds to me." Adopting the ridiculous Señor Coconut soubriquet, he number 1 cooked up El Gran Baile, a distinctly Latin-flavored groove-a-thon, and did a remix for old Deee-Lite turntablist Towa Tei. Then he began to excogitate the possibilities of a German-Latin fusion, and plant his material in the unlikeliest of places -- the sterling hits of man-machine band Kraftwerk, best-known for their very cold-blooded, unemotional approach to euphony -- the very paired of Latin rage. The answer was El Baile Alemán. Although credited to Señor Coconut y Su Conjunto, it was strictly the work of Schmidt and trey vocalists, world Health Organization took the Kraftwerk machine ideal and tipped it on its head, putt in programmed cumbia, merengue, and salsa rhythms to feel the Teutonic brood. Released as a one-off in 2000, it received a fair amount of critical hail in the U.S., more than Schmidt had received for whatsoever of his other work. In March 2001, Señor Coconut -- now a actual eight-piece band -- was position to undertake a short headlining tour in North America, simply visa problems for some of the Chilean musicians forced a cancellation. Two years by and by, however, the band released Feast Songs, which was followed up in 2005 with Coconut FM, a collection of Latin club tunes. Their following album, Yellowed Fever, which not only when covered songs by Yellow Magic Orchestra simply included all threesome members as well as former guest artists, came out in 2006.

Guitar great Jeff Healey dies, 41
Jeff Healey, the Canadian guitarist who sold over a million copies of his debut album 'See the Light' and starred opposite Patrick Swayze in 'Road House', has died.
Healey, who was 41, had battled cancer throughout his life and died on Sunday in Toronto.
As an infant Healey lost his eyesight due to retino blastoma, a rare form of cancer.
He began playing the guitar when he was three-years-old and developed a style of playing the guitar across his lap while seated.
Discovered by the legendary guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan in a Toronto bar at 15, Healey put together his first band at 17 and later found fame with his trio The Jeff Healey Band.
The trio's debut, 'See the Light', was Grammy-nominated and gave them a US hit with the track 'Angel Eyes'.
Healey explored early jazz on his later albums but had completed work on his first rock and blues album in eight years, 'Mess of Blues'. It was due for release in Europe on 20 March.
He is survived by his wife and two children.
