For a film so obsessed with cool, “Grease” is surprisingly naff. Perhaps it was inevitable. A film set in the 1950s and filmed in the 1970s was always set precariously amid the ebbs and flows of fashion.

As widely reported earlier this month, the new Sight and Sound poll of the 50 Greatest Films of All Time featured only one film by a female director. It was hardly a surprise to those versed in the inequalities of the film industry. No women competed for the Palme d’or at Cannes this year.

For anyone who could do with a genre-defying, heartbreaking, utterly beautiful piece of writing at the end of a long Monday… here is one.
If the title alone doesn't seduce you, I assure you this is worth reading. It just might make you cry.

I don't know why this is suddenly doing the rounds a year after it was broadcast - but this montage of Miriam Margolyes' appearance on the Graham Norton Show is surely what is known as "chat show gold". This is what happens when a formerly in-demand actress gets fewer and fewer opportunities to show off as she gets older.

There has been a lot of excellent criticism and discussion elsewhere on the Invisible Children Kony campaign, which I won't add to here.
But this video - by always entertainingly subversive British journalist Charlie Brooker - is definitely worth watching, if only for the utterly insane clips it shows of Invisible Children's previous campaign videos.
I'm not fundamentally opposed to emotionally manipulative tactics in campaign videos - better that we see and process the tactics on screen, I always feel. But these videos cast Invisible Children's project in a totally different and frankly terrifying light.

By the skin of my teeth I'm sticking to the monthly update pattern that has unofficially been established by this no doubt gripping and widely read series on my exploits as a film maker. In fact, here in London there are mere minutes til it's February - so I'd best keep a long story short.
