Playlist The pick of this month’s new releases DVD THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU (Universal Pictures)
While the trailer has you expecting two hours of Matt Damon running away from men with fedoras, The Adjustment Bureau is actually a well-paced film that tries hard not to rely on action-heavy sequences (until the last 20 minutes, anyway), and more on the relationship between the two protagonists. Damon plays an ambitious politician, David Norris, whose life is turned on its head after a chance meeting with Elise (Emily Blunt), a beautiful ballerina – but was their meeting really by chance?

ALBUM DAVID GUETTA NOTHING BUT THE BEAT (EMI)
Feather-fringed Frenchman David Guetta’s fifth studio album shows off his mega-star status with a host of big name guesting alongside the dance doyen. And if Guetta’s transition to fullyfledged popstar was ever in doubt, then this is an album that clearly sets the record straight, as Guetta and chums Snoop Dogg, Akon, Nicki Minaj, Flo Rida, Usher and will.i.am show off their lyrical prowess.
