By Emma Silverthorn @Houseof_Gazelle Simulating the lifestyle of a bonobo ape has its attractions. The bonobo, our closest living relative, are compassionate, free-loving animals who very rarely experience conflict; when problems do arise amongst them the bonobo’s quickly diffuse them with bouts of promiscuous sexual activity. The species is a vision of sixties counterculture utopia and the ripe inspiration for Matthew Hammet Knott’s first feature length film. In the Dorset countryside, magnetic Anita (wonderfully played by Josie Lawrence) has formed...
By Anna Power @powersfilms After last year’s “Let’s put a roof on this house” Labor Day debacle, Jason Reitman’s back with Men, Women and Children, following in the footsteps of Spike Jonze’ fascinating futuristic film Her, Reitman seeks to explore our very ‘new’ relationship with technology and its impact on how we relate both to ourselves and each other in its wake. It’s a brave new world, with big brother watching us and us watching each other. Never before has...
By Emma Siverthorn @HouseOf_Gazelle From its opaque start through to its ambiguous denouncement Robin Campillo's Eastern Boys is a brilliantly complex exploration of power dynamics. In the opening scenes, the Eastern Boys, (hailing from the Ukraine, Russia and Romania), roam the Gare Du Nord, their purpose and intention unclear but their sense of pack protection obvious. Yet as the film progresses this sense of immigrant solidarity quickly darkens and shifts to something more akin to captivity than camaraderie. The leader...

One of only six bottles of Methuselah beer has been delivered to Sourced Market St Pancras, giving the artisan shop exclusive access to this exclusive product. Brewed by British brewing company Savour, the luxury beer comes in a six litre (the equivalent of eight wine bottles) bottle and took 18 months to develop, from having the unique cork made, to working out how to fill the bottle - a process...
By David Thomson What were your memories of when you were 16 and 17 years-old? Mine was when an Eric Cantona inspired Manchester Utd Double in 96. Particularly his winner in the FA Cup final against Liverpool at the famous Twin Towers of Wembley. Or Gazza scoring that fantastic goal against Scotland during Euro 96. Another memory was the "New" Labour landslide in the 97 General Election. For a lot kids who are currently 16/17 year-olds, one of the most...
By Steve Taggart Pretty much everybody likes a tipple at xmas and one drinks manufacturer has decided to personalise their drink offering. Jack Daniel's Single Barrel offer the chance to engrave a name, unique message, or simply ‘Happy Holidays’, on a personalised bottle of this rare and crafted whiskey. It could make the perfect xmas present, if you can't think what to buy a loved one, or even a secret santa, if the budget stretches that far. Every so often, the Jack...
Sport News 24/7 By Noy Shani @NoyShani @TLE_Sport A Robin Van Persie double gave Manchester United a tight 2-1 victory over an unlucky Southampton side on Monday at St Mary’s. This was United’s fifth consecutive win and doomed Southampton to a third consecutive defeat. United are now third in the league ‘just’ eight points behind leaders Chelsea. Despite the impressive run of victories, United again looked poor in defence and gifted the home side numerous chances, which they unfortunately spurned....
Sport News 24/7 By Robert McHugh @mchughr @TLE_Sport Don't say it too loudly, but there is a revolution going on in East London, which is vociferously supported by Russell Brand. No, I'm not talking about overthrowing the capitalist elite and not voting, I'm talking about the footballing revolution going on at Upton Park. West Ham United now sit third in the Barclays Premier League, and are well placed for qualification to the Europa League, if not the Champions League (unlikely I...
