 The UK Independent has one of the first reviews of "Nowhere Boy,"  the upcoming film about the young John Lennon. The movie premiered Thursday night at the London Film Festival. The paper rated it four out of five stars. And as the trailer has Lennon's voice, the Independent notes the movie itself uses his song "Mother" over the final credits. Added reading: The BBC has an audio comment  from the film's director, Sam Taylor-Wood and some additional video footage from the film. (You can see additional photos from the premiere in the slideshow at the bottom of the page.)

Sources tell us any plans to release Paul McCartney's new song "(I Want To) Come Home" are still being determined.
