Rep-Statt Repairs, Rob Stuart

You've been thinking about what to do with that expensive blender since it's blown a fuse...? Before you go out and buy a new one, consider a visit to our friends at Rep-Statt, conveniently located in the Markthalle near SBB. In addition to repairs on electronics (audio, video, mobile), mechanical equipment, carpentry and clothing (tailor, seamstress), they can arrange for repairs on just about anything! Rep-Statt will breathe new life into your well-loved goods and household items, all the while reducing waste. The shop is located in the ring of vendors along the inside wall of the Markthalle. Why not stop by next time - the artisans would love to have you stop in and say hello to learn more about their activities...or maybe finally get that cracked mobile phone screen repaired!

Our cinema expert Rob Stuart was on hand to tell us about what's on in Basel this September. There's Now You See Me 2 with magic tech wizz Daniel Radcliffe along with the crew of the four horsemen. Sing Street is a punk musical set in 80s Dublin with a soundtrack featuring Police, The Cure, Duran Duran and Genesis. The Legend of Tarzan with Alexander Skarsgard sends Lord Greystoke back to the jungle. War Dogs follows start-up arms dealers into war and multi-million dollar contract deals which cannot be fulfilled, originally titled 'Arms and the Dudes'. Then there's Stadkino featuring movies starring Juliette Binoche and Kultkino with Music for Strangers and Europe She Loves. As for the mainstream, Jason Bourne's back in the chase and Jake Gyllenhaal is the Demolition man who's totally lost it. All that and more - at your cinemas in the coming weeks!
