‘With a Cherry on Top’ is the first music video to surface from Sneaks’ new album It’s a Myth. It stars Sneaks mastermind Eva Moolchan as she alternates between sweet and sinister, writing in her diary and clutching a baseball bat. It's squishy and weird and cool. Check it out below. Director Alessandra Hoshor had this to say about the song and video: “Sneaks’ ‘With a Cherry on Top’ is full of tension, a suspended moment between physical experience and...
An RAF veteran has revealed the incredible story of how he escaped the Nazis and on his way home introduced the French nation - to fried EGGS on toast. Brave Thomas Maxwell, 93, is one of the last surviving rear gunners of WW2 known as the 'tail end Charlies'. He parachuted out of his Lancaster bomber when it was hit by flak at 8,000ft returning from a raid on Stuttgart in March 1944. Five crewmen were captured but the remaining...
While debate still rages over which nation was first to produce vodka (Russia, Poland, Sweden) the rise in popularity of super premium vodka, in recent years, is impossible to overlook. Once upon a time, Smirnoff was the brand of choice amongst those in the know, but nowadays the brand has drastically fallen out of favour in the UK – quite unsurprisingly. Instead, powerhouse brands such as classic Absolut, Grey Goose, Crystal Head, Chase and Cîroc are enjoying a tidal wave...
.Steve Winterbottom Snr, 63, and son Steve Winterbottom Jnr, 35, were both born on June 4. In a unique set of events, they now share their birthday with the latest addition to the family – newborn ‘miracle baby’ Alexa Ray. Bookies Ladbrokes have put the chances of Steve Snr, Steve Jnr and Alexa all being born on the same day are 48,000000/1. Alexa was conceived naturally despite two rounds of IVF treatment which devastatingly ended in losing two babies. Steve...
By Michael McNulty There’s nothing forgettable about In the Mood for Love, but and be honest, when was the last time you thought about whacking it on the DVD player and settling in to watch it on a Friday night? Released in 2000, Wong Kar Wai’s film was fifteen months in the making and a largely unscripted and improvised affair. It was nominated for the Palme d’Or at Cannes and although it didn’t snag the festival’s top prize, it picked...
By Linda Marric To have a film based on Winston Churchill is one thing, to have it based on particularly dark episode in the mans’s life is another thing altogether. In Churchill Jonathan Teplitzky offers a historical biopic like no other. Spanning, not years, but rather a few days in the legendary figure’s life, the film attempts to reconcile its audience with a story which shows the man in, perhaps, not the most positive of lights. Basing the story during...
As both Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn visited the devastating scene of the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the PM pledged a full public probe into the blaze that claimed many lives. As we reported yesterday there was a marked contrast between the Labour leader who spoke to survivors and members of the community, attended a church service and spent time listening to those affected and the Prime Minister who was criticised widely for not letting the public near her. She announced a...
By Linda Marric J.K Simmons, Eddie Izzard and Luke Wilson stars in Ash Brannon’s new animation feature about a Tibetan mastiff dog who dreams of becoming a rock star. This cute and thoroughly likeable movie does a good job in keeping you entertained, but is sadly let down by a less than accomplished screenplay. Dealing with themes of teenage awakening and adventure away from home, Rock Dog manages to be fun as well as moralising without ever resorting to cheap...
By Michael McNulty Ed Mosberg opens Destination Unknown slowly dressing into his perfectly preserved concentration camp uniform. Its thick black stripes serve as a morbid metaphor for his continued emotional imprisonment, for although Ed and the 12 others who feature in this documentary are survivors of the horrors of the Holocaust, they are not truly free. They’re experiences in the Nazi concentration camps and on the death marches will always be with them. Producer, Llion Roberts, having collected over 14...
