With the merest whiff of Oscar accompanying it the news broke today that Daniel Day-Lewis is to take on the role of Abraham Lincoln in the much delayed Spielberg project.

Soon to be seen fighting the windmills of our minds, Quixote style, in Christopher Nolan’s Inception, Leonardo DiCaprio’s status as one of the most in-demand talents of his generation is bolstered by the news coming out of the ether that he is to play FBI founder J.

I know this is a random thing to say, but for me, when I hear the name Nina Simone, I think of The Assassin which starred Gabriel Byrne and Bridget Fonda. While just looking at it on IMDb, I’ve just found out it was called The Point of No Return in the US. The things [...]
