In Prevenge, Alice Lowe revisits the familiar grisly kill territory of Ben Wheatley’s brilliantly understated film Sightseers, which she co-wrote and starred in alongside Steve Oram. Directed, written and starring Lowe herself in the principle role, Prevenge is a hilarious black comedy charting the adventures of a heavily pregnant woman on a remorseless killing spree. Despite lacking the perfectionist skills of Laurie Rose’s exquisite cinematography, the film has a similar narrative tone to Sightseers and deals with similar themes of...

"Vodka is a tainted spirit in Britain", we wrote back in 2014 at a tasting session for the world’s first super-premium vodka from Ukraine. After all, "its bedfellows are typically a sugary brand of the Coca Cola franchise or the more fashionable pick-me-up-throw-me-down energy drink mix - very few people would opt to drink it straight". Britain is undergoing a spirit revolution of late, with premium gins littering the market and a smorgasbord of rums now on offer. But vodka has...

Service with a smile could increase UK consumer spending by an astronomical £64.6 billion a year, new research has revealed. On average, people spend a £142.91 each week in shops and restaurants, but they would be willing to spend an additional £19.08 every week if they were to receive more attentive service. Despite this, just 11 per cent of Brits said they usually receive friendly service when shopping or eating out. Nils Christy, Chief Operating Offer at Monarch, said: “We...

Buried in a 19,800 word Spectator essay written by former online editor and Vote Leave director Dominic Cummings is an admission: The Brexit referendum was won by lying to the public. The piece, found here, is well worth reading but also falls victim to classic mansplaining of a complex issue with many words wasted on prose that most politicians would be proud of, working around the subject rather than delving in to the heart of it. Of course, that's for a very good reason, because...

Set in Pittsburg in the 1950s and adapted from August Wilson’s 1983 award-winning play of the same name, Fences is the third feature from Denzel Washington in his directorial guise. The play was part of a bigger body of work titled The Pittsburgh Cycle which charters black lives across the decades of the 20th century. The film has been one the most long awaited projects of the last 30 years. After winning the Pulitzer prize in 1987, the play was...

The idea of going to a spa has always filled me with dread. Walking around in a robe with my bare feet on display, quietly shuffling in slippers five sizes too big, while a stranger prods at me with their bare hands? The whole thing gives me the heebie-jeebies. It's everything I stand against – luxury, relaxation, and calm. But I'm 28 now, and decided it was time to grow up and learn how to be at peace. Travelling from...
