Dad's Army but with terrorists

Not really new, but news to me as I only came across it this morning. Chris Morris is to begin filming his latest project soon, claiming that he wants to do "what Dad’s Army did for the Nazis –by showing them as scary but also ridiculous".

Let's get lost: Chet Baker - UK Re-release

Let's get lost is a film by Bruce Weber about the life of Chet Baker. It features intimate interview footage with Baker, and was completed just before his death in 1988. I, personally, am not familiar with Baker's work but from what I have read in recent reviews, it is a moving and interesting portrait of a man they describe as someone for whom life was his art. I am hoping to go along to Curzon and see it on Thursday.
