Revenge Is Mine A gritty rape scene, snipped-off ear, stabbed with pipes and enmeshed in a curtain made up of fish hooks, viewers may feel wasted after watching Lam Ngai Choi 's cult classic, Her Vengeance. But there is satisfaction in seeing actress Pauline Wong dish out the goods on the people who did her wrong. Stephen Tan reviews.

Challenging History: Why The Oppressed Must Tell Their Own Story History, as it is generally known, is the story of the victors, written by the victors. For a fuller picture, as columnist and editor Ramzy Baroud points out, history from the view of the "vanquished" and the oppressed is equally important because it is the people's history that also puts a human face to all the statistics, maps and figures. Click here Bleak Havens Or as columnist George Monbiot says, how the ultra rich enslave themselves in order to avoid paying taxes. Click here Sportsmanship: The Great Olympic Fraud The range of ugliness - from the catty to the racist to the fatal - is significant because it exposes the reality of what the recent Winter Olympics are all about. As sports commentator Dave Zirin points out, "Going for the gold" is no longer about winning races but beating American Idol's Simon Cowell in the ratings. Click here Click here for more articles

MUSIC REVIEWS VARIOUS Top Of The Pops 1975/1976 [no label 1DVD] By late 1974, the mad rush of glorious new talent (or even non-talent) that had hallmarked the last couple of years of British popdom had finally run out of steam, and the first Top Of The Pops of the new year had no intention of making you think otherwise. By Dave Thompson Click here VARIOUS Top Of The Pops - September and November 1973 [no label 1DVD] It’s number one, it’s Top Of The Pops. By 27 September 1973, the venerable institution was approaching both its tenth birthday and it’s 500th showing; indeed, the first show on this disc is the 499th episode and, with the chart dominated by the Simon Park Orchestra’s instrumental rendering of TV’s Van Der Walk theme music, we’re guaranteed as mixed a bag as the show ever served up.

MOVIE REVIEWS INVICTUS Dir: Clint Eastwood If anyone thought Gran Torino was going to be director Clint Eastwood's swan song, well, here he is again, with Invictus where he doesn't wow the audience with lots of razzle-dazzle but, as Critic After Dark Noel Vera says, you will still find yourself cheering anyway. Click here WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE Dir: Spike Jonze As an adaptation of a book, Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are is a failure. You simply cannot adapt perfection, says Critic After Dark Noel Vera. But as a boy's dream (or rather, Jonze's dream of a boy's dream) of his inner demons confronting then sitting down to sadly acknowledge the presence of the other, perhaps even learn to care for the other, the picture is worth seeing.
