REVIEWS
FILM
For a Good Time, Call... is a justifiably 18-rated comedy that ends up too cute and inoffensive for the crowd who adored Bridesmaids and Sex And The City
Long loved by amateur dramatics companies, Charley’s Aunt is a late Victorian comedy with antimacassars, an orphan, a dragon of an 'aunt' and feckless youths.
At 137 minutes,The Master is three minutes shorter than Skyfall. But while the Bond film flies by, when The Master finally grinds to its end, you may feel you've sacrificed days, if not weeks, of your life.
Anyone wanting Oscar-quality acting should watch Rust & Bone, a French romantic drama that makes sees Marion Cotillard as a trainer of killer whales who loses her legs but gains a man.
Ben Affleck’s third film as director entitled Argo tells an amazing but true story set against the context of the Iranian hostage crisis.
Skyfall is the first Bond film to have a realistic chance of winning the major awards: best picture, director (Sam Mendes, who has already won for American Beauty), actor (Daniel Craig) and supporting actors (Judi Dench, Javier Bardem).

MACY GRAY
Talking Book (Island)
Another covers album and another quirky offering from prolific Gray, who re-imagines Stevie Wonder’s 1972 masterpiece Talking Book. It is, she says, ‘not a tribute album, but a love letter’. Superstition lacks the original’s funky drive, but Blame It On The Sun and You Are The Sunshine Of My Life are convincing ballads.

SADIE & THE HOTHEADS
How Not To Lose Things (Absolute)
Elizabeth McGovern is best known as Cora, Countess of Grantham, in Downton Abbey, but she also fronts a six-piece bar band. Here, she sings and strums her way through 12 heartfelt tunes. Her voice is well-suited to the country ballads. Fellow Downton star Michelle Dockery guests.

JAKE BUGG
Jake Bugg (Mercury)
The term fast-rising hardly does justice to Nottingham teen Jake Bugg, a solo strummer who seems primed to make the same impact as Ed Sheeran. This debut features 14 short, sharp songs adorned by the youngster’s fiery Telecaster. Rockabilly, skiffle and Dylan are obvious influences.

Paul Weller, Eddi Reader as well as Radiohead’s Phil Selway are among the guests helping Barnsley folk singer and guitarist Kate Rusby celebrate two decades in music. This double CD finds the crystal-voiced Yorkshire lass revamping the songs from her nine solo albums, mixing originals with traditionals such as Jolly Plough Boys. A career retrospective, it is also a superb introduction to a giant of her genre.

LEONA LEWIS
Glassheart (Syco)
Do The X Factor’s acts realise that the average winner’s career is just a bit longer than a kamikaze pilot’s? Eight series on, Leona Lewis is one of the few survivors still on Simon Cowell’s label. So what does this Londoner have the others don’t? A great second single, for one; 2007’s Bleeding Love, with its thwarted passions and driving drumbeat, is a crucial part of the blueprint for her third album. Add a powerful voice, glamorous looks and a professional disposition and that’s your formula. It does depend on the songs, but Leona has enough big ones on a stylish if rather monochrome collection of modern-girl laments. Trouble is her best since Bleeding Love; Fireflies and Stop The Clocks are grand, sorrowful and tailored to her undeniable strengths.

BAT FOR LASHES
The Haunted Man (Parlophone)
If the disappointment at Kate Bush’s absence from the Olympic Closing Ceremony stemmed not from nostalgia but a craving for fearlessly strange female pop artists, Bat For Lashes’ return ought to be good news. But these are, musically, conservative times. Natasha Khan, the one fixed member, isn’t likely to be sprung to stardom by this third album, with its bleakly lush electronic palette and deep, desolate themes. At 32, she may be destined to be loved by relatively few. To see if you’re one of them, try Marilyn: it rises from synth doodles to crescendos that aim for the brilliant drama of Kate circa Hounds Of Love.

ART GARFUNKEL
The Singer (Sony)
There’s a moment in a documentary on Simon & Garfunkel when Art, the duo’s non-writing, angel-voiced half, reflects on being in ‘the harmony game’, and Paul fails to suppress a mean smirk at the pompous choice of words. Soon after, the songsmith left a man born to harmonise to play the game alone. This career summary is evidence of steady, if unspectacular success, his voice too pristine to record a bad song, but lacking the edge or material to make a great one. Bright Eyes, his No 1 of 1979, comes close, as does 99 Miles From LA. But Bridge Over Troubled Water and a few other early greats set an impossible standard.

LISA MARIE PRESLEY
Storm & Grace (Universal)
As Elvis Presley’s only child, Lisa Marie has plenty to live up to. She learnt how to sing in Graceland, and this album relies heavily on vintage Americana. With guitarist Richard Hawley and T-Bone Burnett assisting, she delves into swamp-blues, southern folk and rootsy country. The outcome is an impressive clutch of songs that love you tender while sounding like vignettes from a Tarantino soundtrack.
