Al Pacino stars as Frank Serpico, a NYPD officer who is most famous for stepping forward to report and testify against police corruption in the 1970s. A true story, based on Peter Maas' autobiography of the character, Serpico portrays the honest cop who is harassed and distrusted by his fellow officers, simply for doing the right thing.
The film opens with Serpico in hospital, reflecting on past events. We see his rise from rookie to the more experienced officer, becoming familiar with the dodgy dealings of the cops around him. Frank soon learns that if you don't accept bribes from a variety of different sources then you really aren't part of the team at all. Refusing to conform, Serpico soon becomes isolated in the force for his honest and ?hippy? lifestyle; after the police commissioner fails to take his allegations seriously, he then ...

Advantages: Fabulous neon orange and pink, long lasting Disadvantages: Not a big fan of the purple
Nails Inc varnishes are undoubtedly my favourite thing to paint my nails with - I love the sheer range of colours available and the fact that they constantly update the colours to match the season's trends. The Neon Collection was originally released in summer 2008 but luckily those lovely fashion designers who dictate what we'll all be wearing each season have decided that neons are in for this summer too, so my Neons are now getting loads of use.
The Neon Colour Collection consists of Ibiza (a fabulous neon citrus orange), Pacha Pink (a metallic flourescent pink) and Miami Purple (a vibrant violet) The Ibiza shade is the perfect match for the neons and oranges that are filling the shops this summer - it's bright and funky and my favourite colour of the collection. It's proved so popular that Nails Inc have brought it back this summer ...
Advantages: Original Disadvantages: Not for everyone
I only bought Arcade Fire's new album because I'm going to see them at Leeds Festival in August so I wasn't exactly expecting a lot but when I listened I was pleasantly surprised. By no means is this the type of music you could recommend for everybody but it is a very original and well put together album. The band consists of over 7 members I think and there is a collection of instruments such as violins and and organ which is put to good use.
This album is definitely a very unique style of music which is nice to see getting popular in today's usually quite boring mainstream music scene.
The track listing is as follows:
1. Black Mirror
2. Keep The Car Running
3. Neon Bible
4. Intervention
5. Black Wave/ Bad Vibrations
6. Ocean of Noise
7. The Well and the Lighthouse
8. (Anti-Christ Television Blues
9. Windowsill
10. No Cars ...
