***
Are you ready for a vampire version of Sex and the City? Owing more to glossy 1980s vamp-flicks such as The Hunger and The Lost Boys than to the blandly toothless Twilight series, this Berlin-shot euro-thriller stars Herfurth as Lena, a young petty criminal drawn into a coven of gorgeous female bloodsuckers who run their own upmarket nightclub.
Ageless and immortal, these seductive femme fatales appear to share a decadent high life of infinite luxury, but tensions inevitably surface when Lena discovers their true nature and murderous intentions.
Max Riemelt co-stars as the policeman racing to save her from a fate worse than death. Shot like a high-gloss pop video, We Are the Night is deluxe trash, but visually sumptuous and undemanding fun. Gansel is a young German director schooled on TV commercials, obvious from his supercharged razzle-dazzle style, which lends an unlikely sheen of opulent Hollywood glamour to Berlin's grungy subway stations and crumbling Cold War ruins.
There is a potentially interesting allegorical subtext here about feminist vampires purging the world of troublesome men, but Gansel is clearly less interested in reinventing the clichés of the bloodsucker genre than in delivering a shamelessly shallow slam-bang feast for the senses. Mission accomplished.

Juvenile arthritis
Along with doctors, families and teachers can help pick up cases of arthritis in children.
Most types of childhood arthritis are known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis. JIA causes pain and inflammation in one or more joints for at least six weeks.
Dr Betina Rogalski said "The younger the child the more difficult it into pick up the symptoms. If the child is small, it may just be a bit grumpy or pull its leg a way or not feel like walking,” she said.
According to The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases in US, the most common symptoms of juvenile arthritis are joint swelling, pain, and stiffness that doesn’t go away. Usually it affects the knees, hands, and feet, and it’s worse in the morning or after a nap.
Limping in the morning because of a stiff knee, excessive clumsiness, having a high fever and skin rash are other symptoms. Children may also have swelling in lymph nodes in the neck and other parts of the body.
Arthritis in children can cause eye inflammation and growth problems and can cause bones and joints to grow unevenly.
In the UK, about 15,000 children and young people are affected by arthritis.
