★★★☆☆Even if innocently weighing up the virtues of a vegetable patch, discussing one's ability, or indeed inability, to grow a carrot when issues are being had in the bedroom department is a thinly disguised euphemism at best. Erectile dysfunction is not something the British male wants to talk about, plain and simple, but talk about it he must. Using Ewan Morrison's 2007 novel of the same name as its source material, Colin Kennedy's Swung (2015) explores the lengths to which couples will go in order to maintain a wilting relationship.

When she joined Creative Scotland as Director, Film And Media, last summer, Natalie Usher already had an intimate involvement with several of the films that Creative Scotland was backing.
As a senior film lawyer in the Film & TV Group at Lee & Thompson, Usher had been working on both the opening and closing films at this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival: Robert Carlyle’s The Legend Of Barney Thomson and Scott Graham’s Iona.
“For me, this is personally a very interesting and exciting festival because a number of films I worked on as a lawyer, Creative Scotland also invested in and now they are here.”

I rather like this news, so much so that I decided to do a post on it. We’re big fans of all things Simon Pegg here at HeyUGuys and we just got the news through that the man himself will be joining Sienna Miller as jurors on the 2012 BAFTA Awards to judge the Orange Wednesdays Rising Star Award. Previous winners include James McAvoy, Kristen Stewart and Noel Clarke. Last year, the nominees included Gemma Arterton, Andrew Garfield, Aaron Johnson and Emma Stone with the winner being Tom Hardy who still seems to be going from strength to strength in everything he does.
The jury will be chaired by Pippa Harris, and she’ll also be joined by a man who knows a thing or two about directing big movies, David Yates who directed four of the Harry Potter movies, producer Allon Reich, casting director Nina Gold and film publicist Kate Lee.
