Stars: Johnny Depp, Forest Whitaker, Toby Huss, Dayton Callie, Neil Brown Jr., Louis Herthum, Shea Whigham, Xander Berkeley, Melanie Benz, Shamier Anderson, Laurence Mason, Christian George, Michael Pare, Amin Joseph, Josh Hardwick | Written by Christian Contreras | Directed by Brad Furman
City of Lies, also known as LAbyrinth, is directed by Brad Furman and is based off the book LAbyrinth by Randall Sullivan. The film stars Johnny Depp and Forest Whitaker as Russell Poole and Jack Jackson, respectively. The former, a seasoned Lapd Detective who is embroiled into the murders of Christopher Wallace and Tupac Shakur. The latter, an equally as seasoned reporter who is digging deeper in the case for his newspaper’s anniversary retrospective about the murders. Furman’s film is what I feared it would be – a conspiracy theory baited drama on the killings themselves without much substance found anywhere else.

Singer, dancer and theatrical agent who represented Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton
Bernard Hunter, who has died aged 92, was a precocious young performer, a popular singer and dancer, and, later, a theatre agent who represented many stars in Britain and the Us, including Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor and Olivia de Havilland. He continued to represent clients into his late 80s. Hunter's approachable good looks and air of a casual boulevardier seemed to attract consistent good luck.
Born in London, Hunter described his childhood in Islington as full of "maniacal happiness". Asked what his father did, he was apt to quip affectionately: "As little as possible." His father was in fact devoted to horses and the racetrack. Through gambling, he lost the money that was supposed to be for his son's education. However, at 16, Hunter won a singing competition at a local cinema. The prize was an appearance in a week's variety at the Winter Gardens,...
