Chicago – The legacy of public housing is one of the strangest forces of karma in the City of Chicago. For example, sites that were once some of the roughest and most neglected housing for the poor now contain luxury condos. It is the people of those former hellholes that still remember the sorrowful history of what they once called home. The American Theater Company (Atc) have gathered these stories for the poignant and extraordinary “The Projects.”

Play Rating: 4.0/5.0

The company of actors in the play, in a range of ages, tell the sad truth of survival in these homes, with a history built upon misguided Utopian ideals, but all suffering from the neglect of abject poverty and a sense of abandonment, as the crime and violence became rampant while the city officials watched them smolder. But there were real human beings there, and as the voices rise from the stage participants,...

Between the 1-18th November 2012, the borough of Leeds and surrounding areas played host to the 26th annual Leeds Film Festival, a celebration of numerous film styles and genres from across the world. And so, in our pursuit of the arts Shadowlocked sent our very own Yorkshireman (or woman, as the case may be), Leo Owen, to check out the stock and sample the cinematic cuisine.

These are her findings... oh, and they also happen to be some top class reviews. So, enjoy...

Seven Psychopaths opens with a conversation between two hit-men discussing shooting someone in the eye, instantly setting viewers up for the kind of dark humour that is a trademark of Martin McDonagh films (In Bruges, Writer/Director; The Guard, Executive Producer). One says, "Never shoot a guy in the eyeball" to be told a story about an ear injury and irritably reply "that would be shooting someone in the ear!

Seven Psychopaths, opening this weekend, is the second feature from writer/director Martin McDonagh (In Bruges). A hilariously dark comedy, the story revolves around Marty (Colin Farrell), a screenwriter caught up in a chase over a mob boss's stolen shih tzu. An alcoholic drinking himself into forgetfulness every night, Marty reluctantly accepts the screenwriting help of his friend Billy (Sam Rockwell), who happens to be a professional dog thief. Together they chronicle the ensuing shenanigans -- both writing, and narrating, the movie in which they're characters.

To detail the ways in which the rest of the characters are inroduced would be far too revealing of the plot. It should suffice to say that each player in this self-referential and often self-mocking movie connects in unique, interesting, and generally hilarious ways. While it's popular of late to cast well known faces against type, everyone here is decidedly playing himself, or in the case of Christopher Walken,...

Written and Directed by Oscar-winner Martin McDonagh,...

Seven Psychopaths is the highly-anticipated sophomore effort from Irish playwright-turned-screenwriter-director Martin McDonagh. This bloody yarn about a writer who gets involved in the kidnapping of a crime lord.s beloved Shih Tzu, is mostly terrific entertainment packed with great dialogue, one-liners, music, and plot twists, but it lacks the heart of McDonagh.s debut film In Bruges and it.s less successful in its second half. Seven Psychopaths tells of Marty (Colin Farrel), an alcoholic Irish screenwriter struggling for inspiration for his latest script titled entitled Seven Psychopaths (he can.t really get beyond the title and page one: Ext. Los Angeles Streetcorner. Day.). Psycho #1 is inspired by the Jack of Diamonds Killer, a red-masked gunman offing gangsters in La who we meet in a bloody prologue featuring Michael Pitt and Michael Stuhlbarg as a pair of short-lived hit men. Marty.s unstable best friend Billy (Sam Rockwell) is an...
