The folks from Carnaby Films sent along these promo images and a few details on Dominic Monaghan’s latest film, ‘Spivs’. ‘SPIVS stars Ken Stott (King Arthur) in a tour de force performance as Jack, a gentleman among thieves in London’s East End. Together with his accomplices Steve (Nick Moran – Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) and Jenny (Kate Ashfield – Shaun of the Dead) Jack conducts intricate scams that con money out of the hands of villains (who probably got it illegally anyway). No one gets hurt, no swindle takes too long, and everybody’s happy (except for those duped of course). That is until the elegant con artist finds himself lumbered with dodgy goods that he didn’t really expect, in the shape of two illegal immigrant children.’ [More] [spivsthemovie.com]

Altaira writes: Goldilocks Took, a regular on the TORN message boards, took first place in the amateur division of the Dragon*Con 2004 Art Show this past weekend. Goldilocks’ watercolor “Iorhael (Frodo)” was selected by a panel of judges out of over 200 entries.
Goldilocks found TORN a few years ago while recovering from a severe arm injury. “I was blown away by the talent here… art, poetry, essays, parodies, all this love of Tolkien expressed in so many mediums.” As her arm healed, Goldilocks picked up her brush again and gradually began sharing her drawings on the message boards. She received so much encouragement she entered the Dragon*Con Art Show for the first time in 2003. Her efforts were rewarded this year when a group of friends from TORN attending the Con ceremoniously ushered her to the exhibit where the First Place blue ribbon was gracing the corner of her watercolor.
“I thought I would faint when I saw the ribbon,” said Goldilocks. “All of your support has meant more than you can know. It has given me courage to put my heart out there on the canvas.”
More of Goldilocks’ artwork can be seen here.
