General Release

This grungy rock chick biopic is adapted from the memoirs of original Runaway Cherie Currie, and chronicles the band from their formation in 1970s Los Angeles to Currie's departure two years later. Credit is due to Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart who impress as the unruly Currie and Joan Jett.

Released: 02/09/2010
Faber and Faber

British institution Michael Frayn revisits his childhood and finds it transformed almost beyond recognition by his adult perspective. Taking centre stage in this narrative of rediscovery is his father, whose determination to wring every drop out of life, despite its difficult start and many tragedies, throws fresh light on Frayn's own existence.
