Senna - DVD/Blu-Ray
Ayrton Senna's death at the San Marino grand prix in 1994 was and remains one of the great tragedies of motor racing in the modern era. The tag-line to this timely documentary reads 'No Fear. No Limits. No Equal.' and rarely can anyone have lived up so fulsomely to the hype; more than a decade on and Senna is still widely recognised as the greatest there ever was. Not an easy watch (the trailer for this film had the hairs on my arms standing up and my eyes getting mysteriously dewy), this film does the man and the racer's memory justice.

REMAKE REMODEL @ Magnet, 11pm - 3am
It's been a long time in the coming, but Hardman Street's Magnet Bar re-opened at the very end of September, bringing on waves of fuzzy nostalgia for those of a certain, ahem, vintage. With that in mind, will it be a case of it resting on its laurels? On the evidence of last week's first REMAKE REMODEL, the answer is a resounding NO! Trading on the attractive appeal of mid-week rock 'n' roll and a measly £4 on the door with various drinks offers, the place should prove a pull for punters old and new alike.

Amelie, 10th Anniversary Release
A decade on from its release, Amelie is still an affecting piece of whimsy, as we follow the travails of a shy young girl intent on improving the lives of those around her, often at the expense of her own happiness. Starring Audrey Tautou and directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, the film was out of kilter with a lot of cultural production of the time, eschewing as it did the millenial tension of the era: sheer on-screen celebration.
