Dear Philip, I wrote this before you were born
Schoolgirl Zoe Di Biase, nee Smith, was penning lucid movie reviews back in 1932. When \"The Observer\"'s veteran film critic Philip French retired, she sent him her work. Intrigued by Zoe, and what else she might have written, especially after she had sent him some of her attractive drawings of movie stars, he decided to drive down with his wife to see her at home in Surbiton. Born in nearby Weybridge in 1916, Zoe has lived in the area all her life.

And tonight's big Oscar triumph? It'll be politics
Five of the films nominated for the Oscars in 2013, Ben Affleck's \"Argo\", Steven Spielberg's \"Lincoln\", Quentin Tarantino's \"Django Unchained\", Kathryn Bigelow's \"Zero Dark Thirty\" and Tom Hooper's \"Les Miserables\", seem to address and express this particular year. They are all, in broad and narrow ways, political, and each has a message of hope, of victory snatched from the jaws of defeat. At a time when the USA has been bogged down again in seemingly endless wars in remote places, \"Argo\" and \"Zero Dark Thirty\" provide clear-cut success stories, but without conventional touches of triumphalism.
