A few things from the past few days that I have not had a chance to publish yet.

- Older women get starring roles again. That is great news. 

- Scorsese and DeNiro are to work together again. Woo.

- A short list of the best heroines of the year. My favourite is Bliss. Or Lisbeth. 

- The brother of Afshan Azad, who played Padma Patil in the Harry Potter films, admits assault over relationship. 

- Leo Di C was the highest earning actor of 2010. And if he's got too much money, he can send some my way!

- My beloved Scott Pilgrim wins a couple awards. Hurray!
