This is the best summary I could come up with:
Run and DMC tell their tale themselves, more than 20 years after Jam Master Jay’s murder, starting from the very beginning when they met on the streets of Hollis in Queens and, like everybody else in the neighbourhood, bought two turntables and a microphone.
Carol Morley’s sensitive but very funny biographical drama about forgotten British artist Audrey Amiss has an animated performance by Monica Dolan that is one of the best in recent years.
We meet her in middle age, as she inveigles her social worker, Sandra Panza (Kelly Macdonald), into a quixotic road trip to a gallery that will exhibit her work.
In 2005, Steven Spielberg turned that revenge plot into a tense political thriller, with agent Avner Kaufman (Eric Bana) leading a group (played by Daniel Craig and Ciarán Hinds among others) in a deadly pursuit.
It’s a powerhouse vehicle for Jack Black, never more ebullient as self-aggrandising but penniless rock guitarist Dewey Finn, who poses as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school.
Realising his pupils have musical talent but lack confidence, he decides to get a group together for a battle of the bands concert, while educating them in the finer points of rock history, power stances and sticking it to the Man.
