“Squaring the Circle” captures the story behind co-founders Aubrey “Po” Powell and late visionary Storm Thorgerson, the creative geniuses behind the London-based iconic album art design studio, Hipgnosis. As Hipgnosis, the pair were responsible for some of the most recognizable album covers of all time, including “Dark Side of the Moon,” Paul McCartney and Wings’ “Band on the Run” and Led Zeppelin’s “Houses of the Holy,” all celebrating their 50th anniversaries this year.

Singapore Bans ‘#Lookatme’
Singapore has banned the release of “#LookAtMe,” a feature film by local director Ken Kwek. The InfoComm Media Development Authority said that the film exceeds film classification guidelines because it denigrates a religious community. Supposedly based in true events, the film depicts a man who is offended by a pastor who preaches against homosexuality, but whose behavior contradicts his teachings. The protagonist’s viral video about the aberrant priest lands him in jail, causing the man’s gay identical twin to fight for justice.
“#LookAtMe,” premiered at the New York Asian Film Festival and local media report that the film has been selected for next month’s Singapore International Film Festival. But the Imda ruling means that it cannot now be shown in any form in Singapore unless Kwek is successful with an appeal.

Note: With the digital HD release of The Hallow coming on March 7th (the DVD follows on March 21st), here’s a reposting of our review of Corin hardy’s film from last years Film4 Frightfest.
In what has been a somewhat unremarkable year for the horror genre thus far (minus It Follows), Corin Hardy‘s Irish flick The Hallow sadly refuses to buck the trend, despite some initial potential. Writer-director Hardy centres The Hallow in a remote rural Irish millhouse where newly moved in tree-surgeon Adam (Joseph Mawle) and his family come under attack by creatures living in the woods.

There’s a noticeable ambition in Hardy’s narrative for The Hallow which straddles several genre areas including: a home invasion angle, cat and mouse (or monster and human) chases, and a possession storyline. Mixing these already...
