Paintings can go hang. Handmade tiles from the London studio of ceramic artists Nita Rege and Bessie Turner bridge the gap between fine art and function. Imprinted with images of everyday objects - knives and forks, faucets, martini glasses - and rendered in one of six pale glazes, the tiles can be applied in volume or in smaller numbers to add a decorative flourish. "I'm fascinated by functionalism, but we approach each piece as an artwork," says Rege. "Some people even frame and hang them."

Unfortunately, despite multitudes of overly-tan men with enormous sideburns, the original “Gone in 60 Seconds” can’t hold a candle to director Dominic Sena’s 2000 remake—skipping the “fine wine” stage, aging has just turned the film to vinegar. The greatest failing of Halicki’s supposed masterpiece is the script. A significant amount of dialogue is given as voice-overs during car-chases or while the main characters are repairing stolen vehicles in the auto shop...
