Review

Car and Driver, August 2006 Included in “The Homemades: Yes you can build a sports car for just a few grand” “This book is useful for Locost builders in the U.S. because it focuses on the Miata as the donor vehicle, a car that is readily available … it’s an instructive read.” American Car World (UK), December 2006 “This is a good effort and an enjoyable 192-pages that will be a useful addition to your workshop manual type book collection.” Grassroots Motorsports, October 2007 “An absolutely brilliant read for anyone even remotely interested in cars, engineeri (more…)

Rallying, surfing, drifting, and more, all of it set to Oh My God the Suspense music and played in slow motion. It’s Michael Bay flick meets Top Gear turned up to eleven. Thrill or bore? You be the judge.

Actually, no, we’re just going to call it: Boring with the odd moment of gratuitous Thrill. You! You out there! Did you make this? What the hell is wrong with you? Were you raised on soap operas and old episodes of My So-Called Life? Whatever happened to restraint? This thing is almost six minutes long! Life is not one big ball of drama, The O.C. is the world’s most useless television show, and no one cares who Jennifer Aniston is sleeping with! Get off of my ~~lawn~~ internet! Shoo! You don’t get your ball back, and if you keep this up, I’m going to tell your parents you sexually harassed my dog!

(With great Final Cut power comes great responsibility, kids. Use it wisely.)

Scenes from Precious (left), The Hurt Locker (top right) and Avatar

Avatar, Precious and The Hurt Locker are among the films expected to feature in this year’s Oscar nominations, to be announced later in Los Angeles.

Others include Up in the Air, Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds and the British film An Education.

This year’s best picture category will include 10 movies, instead of the usual five, for the first time since 1944.

Actress Anne Hathaway will join Academy president Tom Sherak to reveal nominees in 10 of the 24 categories at 1338 GMT.

This year’s Academy Awards will be held at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on 7 March.

Iraq drama The Hurt Locker currently leads the field, having picked up top honours at both the Producers Guild and Directors Guild awards.

Contest

If its director Kathryn Bigelow is nominated for the best director Oscar, she would become only the third woman to be shortlisted for this prize in the awards’ 81-year history.

If James Cameron is also nominated for Avatar, it will set up a fascinating contest between Bigelow and her former husband.

US BOX OFFICE TOP FIVE

1 Avatar – $31.2m
2 Edge of Darkness (pictured) – $17.2m
3 When In Rome – $12.3m
4 The Tooth Fairy – $9.9m
5 The Book of Eli – $8.9m

Mel Gibson in Edge of Darkness

Cameron’s sci-fi epic remains top of the US box office chart for the seventh straight weekend, raking in $31.3m (£19.6m) between Friday and Sunday.

Currently Avatar takings in the US and Canada stand at $595.8m (£374m), putting it on course to overtake Titanic’s domestic takings of $600.8m (£377m).

Avatar’s worldwide takings have now exceeded $2bn (£1.25m), thanks in part to the extra charges cinemagoers have paid to see it in 3D.

Its closest competition in the US was provided by Mel Gibson thriller Edge of Darkness, which made its debut in second place with a first weekend haul of $17.1m (£10.7m).

Romantic comedy When In Rome came third in this week’s chart, making $12.1m (£7.6m) in its first three days on release.

In the UK, Avatar also reigns supreme at the top of the UK box office chart.

Since opening on 17 December, Cameron’s film has made more than £65m in cinemas in the UK and Ireland.

The Oscar nominations will be streamed live on the BBC News website at 1338 GMT.
