Coppola classic starring Gene Hackman as a paranoid surveillance expert

The ever-eccentric Richman continues his idiosyncratic musical odyssey. Recorded live in San Francisco in 2002, Take Me To The Plaza mostly comprises material from his last album, Her Mystery Not Of High Heels. Performing just with guitar and drums (something he was doing way before The White Stripes) his timing and wit are immaculate. But there's only "Pablo Picasso" (recently covered by Bowie) and "Girlfriend" from the old days.

Ambitious and imaginative song cycle from Roy Harper's son

Fourth solo album by Chili Peppers guitarist

Joyously stripped-back set from fiercely articulate DIY folk icon

Four discs of Top Texan twang in a redneck tin shack box

Two-CD remastered reissue of the infamous pop opera, with unreleased tracks

Best-of for leading lights of the '80s US college rock circuit

Stellar cast decorate Lars von Trier's latest morality tale

You'll never eat frogs' legs again. This darkly witty 2D animation feature is full of cute moments and haunting images, if perhaps not the life-altering classic it's been hailed as in some quarters. The rotund Madame Souza buys her shy grandson Champion a bicycle, and years later, after much strictly regimented training, he's competing with the best. Then, in a fit of surrealism, he's kidnapped by shadowy men in black. Granny and faithful canine Bruno defy all logic to cross oceans and metropolises to rescue him.
