Leo8217;s back! Staying on top of the box-office charts in the US, is The Beach, Leonardo DiCaprio8217;s much-talked-about follow-up to Titanic. Directed by Danny Boyle, the hip Brit filmmaker who has to his credit such smashes as Shallow Grave and Trainspotting, this film has been adapted for the screen by John Hodge from the cult novel of the same name by Alex Garland. The plot, did you ask? Well, it8217;s about an American backpacker who, while passing through Thailand, is given a map which reveals the route to an unspoiled island paradise. It turns out to be a traveller8217;s utopia where the food is fresh and the grass is free. But, of course, it8217;s not long before things start to go very, very wrong!
