Orange Is The New Black (15)
Orange Is The New Black (15)
Cross Prisoner: Cell Block H with Porridge and chuck in elements of The L Word - no prizes for guessing which ones - and you have this American comedy-drama by Weeds creator Jenji Kohan. Taylor Schilling is Piper Chapman, an upmarket character who has to leave her nice life and her loving fiance to do jail time for a decade-old misdemeanor - one that involved her then-lover (a woman as it happens), a suitcase full of drugs and an international criminal ring. Great stuff.
The Wolf Of Wall Street (18)
Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio team up again for this blackly comic assault on the money men of Wall Street and the lives of excess they lead. It's based on a memoir by Jordan Belfort, a former stockbroker who was jailed for fraud and money-laundering. DiCaprio plays Belfort and stars alongside Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie and Matthew McConaughey.
Nosferatu The Vampyre (15)
Blu-ray-only release by the BFI of Werner Herzog's 1979 re-telling of the Dracula story starring Klaus Kinski, Isabelle Adjani and Bruno Ganz. Now acknowledged as a classic in its own right, it was intended by Herzog as an homage to FW Murnau's silent, Expressionist horror film, Nosferatu. Packed with extras.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
