CINEMA

 » The Ghost Writer - Pierce Brosnan does his best Tony Blair grin in Roman Polanski's first post-extradition film, "a thriller with topical ambitions: it takes place in a jittery, bomb-fearing Britain and America, where the weary rituals of security screenings refuse to let the characters or the audience relax."

FIELD NOTES

 » Not Knots 2010 - Think the knitting trend from the mid-00s has gone? Think again. This weekend the creatives at Cabinet magazine are turning their art space over to a new workshop on "knots, knitting, and string figures." Not only will attendees be given access to string, they'll be plied with twisted baked goods and tasty wine as well.

MUSIC

 » Dres Prelude Remix - A Native Tongues Posse member and one half of Queens duo Black Sheep, Dres knows a thing or two about palling around. Now he wants to expand his crew by doing a five-track remix album with fans. In exchange for the beats, he's offering up 16 bars of his own flow on their work.
