Set in the near future, Frank, a retired cat burglar, has two grown children who are concerned he can no longer live alone. Against the old man's wishes his son buys Frank a walking, talking humanoid robot programmed to improve his physical and mental health. Slowly, and with a fair bit of reluctance, Frank begins to accept his new digital companion, seeing an opportunity to use Robot's unique skills to try their luck as a heist team. Special Features: Audio Commentary Interview with Director Jake Schreier and Frank Langella Trailer Just because Robot & Frank is a smaller profile film, that doesn't mean it's not something really quite wonderful. It tells the story, set in the near future, of Frank, played by Frank Langella, once a cat burglar by trade. His children aren't convinced he can live by himself, so they buy him a robot, one that's been specifically programmed with improving his health in mind. Instantly, that concept puts a fresh spin on the old cliched buddy movie, and with a mix of comedy, drama, poignancy and a healthy dab of science fiction, Robot & Frank emerges as a warm and welcome piece of work. In particular, as you might expect, Frank Langella is quite brilliant here, pitching a difficult and nuanced performance, one that rests heavily on his shoulders, extremely well. It feels different to see a relationship develop between man and robot quite like this, and that adds an edge of the unusual and unpredictable tinge to the film. To its credit as well, the supporting characters in the film are strong, with Susan Sarandon in particular fleshing out what could have been a forgettable role. Robot & Frank is a distinct, interesting film, that feels different without isolating a mainstream audience. That's no easy task, and all concerned here deserve real credit. It packs more into an hour and a half than some films manage in twice the time. --Jon Foster

The premise of this game is simple to understand. I purchased it mainly to be a relaxing solo play game but it works equally well with others. Very satisfied with the purchase.

Not the easiest record to source on vinyl but a real gem, received promptly, well packaged and in perfect condition.
Justin Adams is one of the unsung heroes among UK guitarists and cross-cultural ambassadors, committed to working with great musicians across West Africa, the Maghreb and southern Europe. On this record he joins the remarkable Mauro Durante of Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino to showcase a UK/Puglia blend with a sharp political edge. The title track Still Moving bears witness to the trauma of refugees seeking shelter that few here can imagine and too few even care to think about.
Full credit to Justin Adams, a wonderful musician with a true grasp of what solidarity means. His world view crosses musical borders and calls for a better future for all humanity.
