Saint and Sin: Alba Time

She's about to be everywhere. On a day when much of the world is raising something because of a man with a large staff, we appreciate the relative calm of the month before the madness.

As we stare into our green beers and green rivers (or projectile vomit one into the other), it is the cinema of the green screen that will be holding our attention only too shortly.

Despite the pedigree of Rodriguez, and the novelty of Frank Miller co-directing his own stories, such is the visual power of the notion of a strip-tease, it is somebody else who is destined for rather a lot of attention.

Here's Jessica

With three major cinematic releases in a short period we shall witness the former influential Hispanic for 2001's visual journey from comic book stripper to invisibility. But before we ponder the sumptuousness of black and white static images rendered into cinema, let's have a little look at how she lived the artist's life the month before Jessica jumped ginormously:

Paul Dorrell reckons

if you live in a small town distant from any major city, it will be much harder for you to break out in the arts than otherwise
