WHEN a young woman has a semi-autobiographical pictorial book out with the off-the-wall and tongue-in-cheek title of Serves You Right, you know she is full of self-assurance, if not attitude and chutzpah. Audacious and vivacious, Cheryl Lee possesses an utterly refreshing sense of humour and a carefree spirit that see her projecting herself on the cover of her book with a headful of long wild curls and her tongue sticking out. No less scorching is the blurb of the book published in Chinese: “Because she is hot and spicy, and if you can’t handle hot and spicy,…

ARGUABLY the most enjoyable interview I’ve had in my career was over a decade ago, with Chicago keyboardist Robert Lamm. Even though it was the late 1990s, Lamm spoke enthusiastically about the American pop-rock group’s founding period in the mid-1960s, and revealed that the hippie idealism, left-wing politics and love for literature had never left him. He seemed to almost lament the group’s immense success which had taken it away from its roots. When I first became a hardcore music fan in the mid-1980s, it was quite a common thing to be told: “I know these guys are doing bland pop now but you should check out the…

In recent times, they have indeed risen to rock-star status! CULTURES around the world have stories about fanged figures that drink blood, including the Malay pontianak and Mexican chupacabra, but it is the Western portrayal of the vampire that has gained global fame. The evolution of the bloodsucker from horrific Count Dracula to the romantic Edward Cullen is traced here: 15th century Born in 1431 in Romania, Vlad Dracula was the respected ruler of a province called Wallachia. A warlord who had to repel several attacks by invaders, he punished his…

Lars von Trier came a cropper when he mocked physically handicapped people in The Idiots; the claim that it was a satire whose characters were the ones being crass, not their director, fell on deaf ears. One film that pulled off the challenge was Francis Veber’s Le dîner de cons, a French comedy that had a fair handle on the nuances of its diabolical scenario. But as its title attests, the American remake Dinner for Schmucks certainly does not. A group of Los Angeles financiers…

It isn’t what you expect from Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami, but then, he has a habit of defying expectations: his last film, Shirin, was entirely composed of close-ups of women’s faces. In Certified Copy, Kiarostami – working outside Iran for the first time – seems to have opted for something rather safer: a polished Italian art film. But Certified Copy isn’t quite what it seems – although I won’t overwork that turn of phrase, given that the film makes slightly heavy weather of the importance of not trusting appearances. The film is…
